Yes, I pretty much have all of his videos memorized. The bearing issues he mentions doesnt seem to be an issue with my kit. Crank axle spins fine with no bearing drag/binding. That being said, that bearing would be super easy to replace assuming its a standard size. I have had bearing issues...

This was a pretty easy install, I actually spent more time trying to make the wiring tidy than installing the motor to the frame Initial power on failed. The cable from the motor to the display/throttle was not fully seated. Ride impressions tomorrow

I must say that I am VERY impressed with the quality of the CYC photon. All the hardware is high quality and the motor itself is a piece of art. Install was super obvious and I only needed to refer to the user manual for a quck installation reference. It is replacing a BBSHD on a Surly Ogre...

The CYC Photon has arrived, hard to believe how small it actually is. Pictured here next to a BBSHD

RH212 Update I decided to abandon the RH212 in early June. It was a great and powerful motor which never overheated despite all the abuse I threw at it. A very annoying thing I found with it was recurring spoke nipple noise (slight popping). Not sure if it was due to the radial lacing or the...

Exactly what planet are you on Stefan. I ride my two throttle equipped ebikes going on about two years now and 6k or so. I get a workout every ride according to my garmin GPS computers (average 110-130HR, 150-200watts human power, 1500 altitude gain, 25 miles). This is the whole purpose of my...

You dont need strava for all the features mentioned. I have a garmin edge 25 and Instinct Solar tactical and have used garmin connect since 2019. Im more about just recording the rides more than creating a polish circle jerk around strava stats. I have no need to PROVE anything, if someone...

Those stubby fenders basically keep stuff out of your eyes/face/mouth. They also deflect goose poopo_O

Here is a more detailed Belt replacement video (sorry stefan ,no version info so probably best for you just to pay another $1300 since this would be beyond your skill level) I have 3 brose based bikes (2018 Bulls hardtail MTB (~4k miles, Brose T)), Izip Moda E3 Class 3(~4k miles, Brose TS) and...

I find it funny that you call people on these forums hypocrites. You are by far the biggest hypocrite on these forums which I have easily demonstrated multiple times. You are simply projecting. Please puke and leave these forums...or at least anything where you are not the OP

I have found a Z1 locally in a size medium for a good price used. Im 6ft with a 32inch inseam. I know typical sizing based on seat tube is kind of old school. That being said, a typical 19" bike works for me with more old school geometry. Bike framesets which are different from this usually...

It seems you are the only one to come up with that conclusion.

At 240# I use the following pressures, about 70% offroad 2.8 - 20psi 2.6 - 25psi 2.4 - 30psi 2.1 - 35psi This is rear tire pressure, I typically run about 3psi less in the front. This is what I pump my tires up to. I ride them till they feel low (about 5 psi lower) then pump them up again...

A heat gun or hair dryer followed by wd-40 has worked on everything I have ever tried it on (bike frames, bike parts, tools). The heat gun doesnt really do anyting other than soften the adhesive to allow easier removal of the decal. Adhesive almost always remains which is removed with wd-40...

Have you actually ever actually built a bike? Last I recall, you were not even capable of changing a tire without assistance from your brother. What exactly in your mind constitutes as 'building a bike'.? I consider building a bike anything starting with a frameset. What is your definition?

You can also use a standard electric heater without a fan (several discharge levels available) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pelonis-1500W-Electric-Quartz-Radiant-Heater-with-3-Heat-Settings-PSH20Q3ABB-Black/344308112?from=/search

To provide some history The 'smoking vado thread' was created as sort of a counter-culture way of poking fun at a specific poster who sh*ts on anything not euro based or specialized. The fact that it irritates him endlessly (as can seen from his response here) is icing on the cake

Nice socks, perfect to wear while smoking a Vado 🤣

So you are a fan of sheldon brown now, what changed since the attached post
