Nice e-bikes at the Luna website. Are any of the Luna bikes capable of a 100 mile range with no 28 mph speed limit which is the norm with a Bosch motor setup. i realize the battery system on an e-bike will drain quicker at higher speeds. The speed limit with Bosch motor after a climb is an...

Perhaps I should consider reducing the wheel circumference and use a GPS for accurate speed, avg and trip distance. I'm looking for an easy solution to not have the e-assist shut off @ 28 mph after rolling down a hill. Prior to the e-bike I'd see speeds in the 30-34 mph range after rolling past...

Excellent video for rear wheel removal.

I have been looking at this speed unlock device. Every time I pedal above 28mph the e assist shuts off. This happens after every hill in my area. On a traditonal non e-bike it was no big deal to pedal in the lower 30's after a hill and take advantage of the road grade. Wish I could do the same...

m@Robertson, Is this a bike you built? Very unique rack system! I sent a photo of the Delite stem to Eric at Jones and he suggested a shorter stem if I switch to their handlebar. What is your stem length? The grip angle on your Jones bars makes a bit more sense to me for a natural grip. I'd luv...

I do not know if the Tannus inserts are increasing my ride avg or having a negative effect. I do wonder about it. I installed them inside the Super Moto X as some of the stop lights on my routes have broken glass on the asphalt including a lot of metal debris on the road shoulders. My ride avg...

I was wondering if sealant might work. I'll give it a try. If I ever install a Vee Speedster tire I will opt for flat and pinch proof. Veloplugs for the rim spoke holes, Tannus armour inside the tire and sealant in the tube. I have no ambition to flat out in the evening during mosquito season.

Mr. Coffee, What prevents you from switching your current handlebar to a Jones bar? Those handlebars allow different grip positions. Sometimes I'd like to get into a bit more of a tucked in position with my arms. After viewing the Jones video his handlebar design might be a nice efficient...

Has anyone tried this tire for road riding? My understanding is the tire is susceptible to punctures and the rubber surrounding the bead is thin. Seen some reviews with no issues. Minimal rolling resistance for road and not good on gravel. Considering this tire for road use but need to make a...

The bag is a Wotow that can be purchased on ebay or for less on amazon. Nice bag for $30. Similar length and width as the rear rack. Storage for a Topeak turbo morph pump, co2 inflator, Pedro's downhill, Park TL-5 & Bikehand levers, patch kit, tire boot, spare tubes, torx wrenches, wallet...

A long time ago I use to cheat the wind with all sorts of aero tricks. In present day I now cheat the wind with more watts from an extra battery. Absolutely nothing aero about this setup but man it flies regardless of how heavy the bike is. Quite the fun experience riding the R&M TurboMetric.

I saw that video when I googled calculating the tire circumference. I've done 6 rollouts and ended up with the same cm. My input in the Kiox is now significantly more than the default setting. This may be the reason why top speeds on rides have been below 28. I plan to drive one of the routes...

Higher than what I use to do on TT bikes with large gear slow cadence. Back then one of the bikes was set up with a 63 chainring and a 12T cog on a 700C disc. Could only turn that over in the right conditions of flat grade and tailwind. Quite scary at times with strong wind gusts. Years of doing...

I did not realize the Kiox setting for wheel size is in cm as the Kiox displays inches. I now understand why the Kiox default is questionable after viewing a "Wheel Circumference" post from May, 2019.

After I switched to Super Moto X tires from Rock Razor and G-One I was able to pedal at 27 mph on a flat grade with minimal wind in 13 gear of the Rohloff E14. When I attempt to sustain a 28+ mph speed In the largest gear I get more resistance turning over the cranks as I am no longer using e...

Nice bike. I'd love to ride that one. Very cool with the offset fork. I have this thought with tires and rolling resistance being a significant factor in speed of an ebike. I have tried Razor Rock, G-One and Super Moto X tires. I get approximatley 50 mi in turbo with Super Moto X. I cannot get...

You can dial in the bike by changing the shock to one rated for a higher load. Everyone is different. What works for some may not work for all. With the roads I ride on I have to put more air into the shock than my weight to avoid bottoming out on a bad patch of road. If I was a large guy I'd be...

👍🏻 Congratulations!

Yes I have a Rohloff. I ease up on the pedals when shifting to a larger gear. What's really nice is the Gates belt after a lifetime of chains that always got dirty no matter how much maintenance I did on previous bikes.The Delite is an easy to manage bike. Recharge the batteries after a ride...
