All will record distance, and I could not possibly care less about elevation gain.

No interest in a throttle? To answer your question about magnet location, yes, mounting a magnet to a spoke is pretty commonly done on a lot of bikes.

Yup, same thing happened to me - so I taught myself how to do it myself.

Please consider another FACT. Some (most?) of us could care less about that Strava -OR- any feature on it! You want to talk Strava "features" go to the right section of the forum (NOT GENERAL!) and brag your heart out.

What happens when you tighten the shift cable, even pulling on it with your fingers back by the derailleur? You SHOULD see the derailleur move toward the next smaller gear (8th)...... If it's not moving towards 8th when shortened/pulling on it, you'll need to figure out why - like a limit screw...

On the bold, let me ask YOU about this fact, with the throttles you insist on bad mouthing rather than letting people make up their own minds in mind....

First thought, if you are replacing the entire rear wheel (w/motor) AND the controller, check out KT controllers. We have 3 Espins and all have been converted to KT (KT-22A fit in the frame below the battery) but they all use 500w motors. Just make sure the motor end matches the controller when...

Fair point. I would just like to mention if "it takes almost zero effort to pedal", my bet is it's been set/ridden in too high a PAS setting for your tastes? On any RAD I've been on, PAS setting makes no difference in available throttle as far as a road crossing. Same in PAS 1 as PAS 5. I'm...

Yes, my M600 throttle works from a dead stop. Your bike, with this "feature" came up a while back when you were messing with different throttles? I suggested then SOMETHING is wrong, but no clue how to help you with a bike that's not right in front of me. If this is a pre-CANBUS motor, there...

This is a perfect example of nonsense logic.....

I have a CANBUS M600, and that throttle is as linear as anything else I have (no hint of on/off throttle operation)

If you had ever ridden a bike with a throttle, you'd have the answer to this question. Best to keep an open mind here until you have tried one.....

On MOST newer bikes, the throttle is totally independent of the PAS system. For example, you can use the throttle from a stop. That would NOT be a possibility if the PAS were in play/pedals needed to be turning prior to being able for the throttle to work. There was a brief time a couple years...

Hey, I have several bikes, most equipped with KT controllers. Regarding the on/off throttle issue on the Blackbird, I beleive that also uses a KT controller. If so, to get a really nice progressive throttle, a lot of them require you to stop pedaling prior to using the throttle. If the throttle...

That's total nonsense...... when on a mid or on a hub drive powered bike. I own and ride both types and use the throttle while pedaling on occasion for a quick temporary burst of extra power not worth the trouble of shifting or increasing PAS levels.....

YUP! Yeah, this new-found progressive throttle technique is turning out to be a pretty handy riding tool. If I plant one side of my thumb on the throttle housing and roll the other side onto the lever, I can hold a desired boost pretty well, though probably not as reliably as you can. This is...

Please, let's not start one of your stubborn arguments based on nonsense logic..... If ANYTHING lets go in a mid drive drive train, without repairs, you are dead in the water. A hub drive, including one with a total electrical or drive line failure, can proceed - WITHOUT need for repair...

Sounds more to me like you're just keeping an open mind....

I learned that one the hard way, but being a lot more bull headed about it, decided to see if I could FIX it! Pretty time consuming sourcing/purchasing the required parts, THEN doing the 26x4 > 27.5x 2.4 conversion myself. Good experience in the end, but lessons learned....

Starting on the new bucket list, almost as soon as you get that brand new bike working correctly, happens WAY more frequently I think than a lot of people realize. The FIRST hurdle already under you, realizing the fact you really like this e-bike plan and now realize you're going to get a lot...
