Ah perfect! Mine's got the suspension seatpost, but I've had my eye on the thudbuster for some time now, and am seriously considering it...soon Thanks for the confirmation on studded tire, too!

Having been badly bitten/injured by ice here which is the state of sask roads for much of the time(on another brand of bike with not-these Johnny Watts 365, no complaints about them so far), I'm looking into doing a tire swap to be 100% sure I hurt less this winter. So far, am thinking the...

I use https://arkel.ca/products/tailrider-trunk-bag?variant=44262858195193 on mine. Nice that it has the rain cover. I also picked up another of theirs for more versatility, but it's the hanging pannier you said you were not looking for. (the bug, for reference).

Nice bikes! the center mount display will make for better time winter riding for those who do(pogeys get in the way of the previous iteration, haven't put em on yet though, it's not even cold!) . How much heavier is the new version vs previous?

I think the ST is a next riding reason purchase in my case, especially now. I went from the stock seat, to WTB Volt(also a no on this bike), back to Brooks C19 All Weather carved, to the latest change tonight: Brooks C17 All Weather. It's nigh on perfect. Didn't even really notice it was there...

ST. I don't need that much travel as I'm still young and only have the elbow injury to contend with so far...and I've read that LT has a bit of bounce even at its stiffest, which is the opposite of what I'm looking for.

Nah, it's Thudbuster-specific: https://canecreek.com/product/thudglove/

Yep, if I hadn't broken my elbow a while back in some wondrous way, it'd probably be fine. Might try swapping grips around, but the bars are pretty much just right for me.

I'm ogling the Thudbuster ST myself for next season. Word to the wise, get the sleeve for it if you do the same, keeps it clean, I'm told.

I did just that right after I posted in terms of reaching out directly. I mean that I cannot shift the entire range, it seems to need to be incremental. Same idea as the limit of 3, but, the way it limits(getting harder to turn) seems to be what bugs my arm.

I don't like it because I do not have the full range of shifting at any one time based on how it's designed. It's less effective to me than a regular stepped shifter. Also, have an injury that gets annoyed at the frequent twist. edit: And I was expecting to retrofit based on what what I was...

Is the automatiq going to be an option? Seems to have been mentioned a while back...and I was told it might be available directly...but now I see the new bike version is the focus? I'm really not a fan of the manual shifter after a full season of riding. Will eventually move on from this bike...

Shoot! I'm really sorry to hear about that. I figured it had to be something. Y'all were right on top of things when there weren't these issues. Fraudsters of all things, wow that really stinks. Thank you for being so transparent. Heh, I saw the mention of the new motor in the other thread...

Yeah, I think their team is stretched a little thin from what I'm seeing. Am waiting on the extra battery I ordered with the bike, but I'm being patient. Been in worse situations thanks to supply chain fun over the pandy, like waiting 18 months for a replacement controller on a previous (not...

I like the config! I'm currently struggling to find a second place for a proper bottle mount. Have a folding lock, and with the bottle cage...nowhere to mount it. If I add the pannier and a cage there... You've given me great ideas. Thank you!

I suppose a prairie photo is in order. :)

I agree. I don't like the manual shift, because it seems to have to be done in increments. Especially getting into the highest gear. I'm hoping to upgrade to the Automatiq the minute the bugs get worked out with it. Yeah, that high pitched whine is the same thing I'm hearing and struggling to...

One thing I have noted in these heavy prairie winds: There's a whistle somewhere on the bike. At first I thought it was from the motor, but no. Removed the rear wheel reflector, and still no. seems my search continues. No such noise whatsoever in low wind. Not a big deal, I'll find it eventually.

Came with the welcome email after purchase/ship in my case.

I'm back in the saddle, and it's really great. So heartening to hear about this long distance action. I assume they've sorted out BMS low voltage cutoff action -- that's a weird thing to get arguing about. Heck they have 2 charge modes and that too is somewhat unusual(unique to me--hasn't been...
