Everything eventually fails / wears out. When ( not if) your specialized develops an electrical issue, it will need connecting to the shops computer ( not just a multimeter) and the bill may expand to match your financial resources. As an example, the mahle 1.1 is now an obsolete short run...

Sure , but you are 4 months out of warranty and the fun is about to start. Have you connected it to the shops really expensive multi meter replacement recently? Do some research on error code ?$@% V15A . There's some interesting theories out there about how they developed the algorithm. Just...

Nah, he was swiping tinder

kinky....in soooo many ways Who sang that song about "cogs and chains excite me" edit - Rhiana

Is this a safe place to point out that " an nx level of build" is the budget end for sram ? ( the price point where sram are trying to steal sales from shimano by offering stam cassettes that fir shimano hubs ) And before anyone yells " tribal" - MY bike came with nx , although when I...

Holy cow, I hadn't recognized the thinly veiled insult directed at Mr Coffe " acrimony - acridity, harshness, or extreme bitterness of taste" Sorry, Mr Coffee, you need to do a better job of bean counting and stop trying to over extract your daily pleasures

Just in case anyone is considering buying - the samsung has a charger that uses the opposite polarity to every other wireless charging thingy out there. Forget about using an aftermarket wireless charging pad, or the cars wireless phone charger! Remember when it was apple that did this with...

37 years ago I was sitting around a campfire with a group of motorbike riders , listening to a bearded engineering guy talk about 2wd motorbikes and all the potential benefits. Much of that night was lost to alcohol, but I've stayed in contact and watched him turn a bultaco piston into the bike...

You make some good points , and I suspect much of the attitude that polarizes " cheap" vs " expensive" comes from members trying to warn people of the hidden costs / implications of buying "cheap" . I've mentioned Vimes boot theory in the past (...

I thought Einstein was a physicist, now you're telling me " what goes up must come down" was him getting the munchies and he was a chemist ?

Something to keep in mind with this company - YOU pay postage on warranty inspections / work - even if the product is brand new and they accept the claim based on photos. I bought a marin frame from them, the bottom bracket had overspray clogging the thread - bad enough that I couldn't install...

Tony, are you after something for mountain bike riding, or just looking for a gravel capable electric bike? At that price point, you may want to make some compromises to get something that is reasonably reliable . Perhaps sacrifice front suspension and your pride and consider a giant lafree ...

I'm not sure if it's possible to express how jealous I am - an apple free social sphere - absolute bliss !!! Sharing airtags is frustrating - you need to physically register the things with the device, so, for example, if your daughter drops hers in a train station in milan , you can't...

Btw, I thin' these guys offer test rides. The frame is a reasonable quality design , some people find the chain stays a bit long, others like the improved climbing ability. If you thought a talon was a good mtb then you'd be blown away by these! It's only a few hours flight away......and...

It's been 2/3 years, but I rode my giant back to back with an older bagang powered bike, I think it was this https://www.pirez.com.au/collections/pirez-brand-bikes/products/pirez-e3-estrada-250w-electric-mountain-bike The bafang was a bit quieter than my giant ( yamaha pwx2) , but the power...

It sounds like you only want this for the flight? If you have a friend with an apple device, you could register the airtags on their device. When you get home, donate the tags to them.

Interesting to see there's only one female in that group, although scary to consider the genetic implications. Consider the risk / reward / skill combination isn't going to take to compete for her attention, and them amplify that by whatever gene pool she came from! Having said that , show...

Just in case someone is looking for a praxis alternative ( sorry creo, not usefull for you) https://forx.bike/ They're designed for mtb, so 160 mm , they claim to have a " natural q factor swoop" , although it's listed at 183 mm so even wider than the praxis !

Suspension, yeah, that's what you need

They're both reasonably fast running tyres , so unfortunately you'd only be looking at a couple of extra k's with Stephans suggested tyre
