6x6 built in and well supported with heavy post bases in the concrete and other framing which is why the hinges had to reach for far in - I put the 6x6 in the center of the opening before designing the gate. But it worked and holds the gate about 4” away from the inside of the wall when opened...

I’m upgrading my wife’s Tero 3.0 drivetrain but staying with cable shifting. Currently it has a Shimano 11-36 9 speed, and a 36T chainring. It’s going to a 44T chainring and something between 11–42 and 11-50 cassette, 11 or 12 speed. 11-46 11 speed would be fine. Need to maintain the bottom end...

Thanks (A little off topic here but what the hell) I went a little over the top on welds but I learned building custom boat trailers when I was in my 20’s so I did this on a frame that no one would ever see. Also designed and built my own hinges because nothing on the market would work with the...

great battery but its on the wrong bike. And way over priced too, but that‘s the way with lithium batteries so far.

Caveman industries comes through again. I got really tired of the poorly designed holder for my ball-end metric Allens, so out of frustration did this. I’ve spent far more time fighting the plastic holder than it took to drill a few holes in a block of wood. And yes, that is vertical grain fir -...

I have a Specialized Tero 3.0 (my wife’s bike) and while its a nice bike and a good platform to work with, I need to modify the drive train for our type of riding. Currently it has the following hub and cassette: hub: Shimano MT400-B, Centerlock, 12x148 Boost, 32h cassette: Shimano CS-HG400...

That is a classy looking bike. I’m still looking for the right early ‘70s Peugeot PX10 for nostalgia reasons - not sure what Im going to do with it but it looks like you have the technology to make it a semi-stealth e-bike, which is better than making it a wall-hanger. Super-Tero in its natural...

We were just talking about crank length here. I’ll take a look.

Spesh Turbo Tero 5.0 (90nm motor) with an 11-50 12sp cassette (PG1230) and 44T chainring (Praxis). Orig was 11-42 x 36. Fine for climbing (for me - not really MB range) but way to slow on the road. So with the above gearing changes and the class 3 upgrade, it now has very nearly the same low...

Ok so in “Gear Inches”: Tero X Tero 5.0 Super Tero (me) Granny 21.05 25.10 25.69 High 95.54 95.45 116.75 So the X will climb...

Ok, I understand inches on bikecalc now - didn’t know what that was. More fun stuff to calculate - Thanks!

Might as well just buy a levo. The 38T chainring almost looks promising in the specs until you consider the mullet rear wheel. And looking at the chainstay (typical with rear suspension) it will not accept a much bigger chainring - maybe 40T at the most. So if you buy a Tero X you are buying an...

For gear ratios and speed-at-cadence analysis I use https://www.bikecalc.com/ . It took a little trial and error to get comfortable with it, but it is very handy. You can look at what ratios will result or speeds you will achielve at a given cadence with different chainrings and cogs. The two...

This little goodie came with my Eagle AXS upgrade kit. Didn’t expect it and it’s really a fairly high quality piece - not just a cheap give-away. Also compact and has all the stuff you need (of course) to keep your AXS running perfectly. So here it is:

I just put a PNW suspension dropper (Coast) on my Tero 5.0 and finally had good enough weather to ride my 5.5 mile test track. It includes about a mile of pavement (no traffic, no lines but good surface) and the rest is gravel, dirt, mud, hills, pot holes, ruts, cattle guards and rocks. I had my...

I cant hear the Garmin beeps - Guess because Im getting old, but I can hear Mastermind. I’ve “paired” Varia with it but it doesnt seem to do anything. Might stop by my LBS and have them walk this caveman through it. For a good stable mirror with a decent field of view...

In my email this morning https://www.sram.com/en/sram/road/series/force-axs-d2

that seems to be it. I named mine Tero 6.0 before the Tero X line came out so they’ll just have to call it something else.

I was comparing the Tero X 6.0 with the Tero 5.0 (non x). Same motor, different bike. We’ve been having steady rain and some snow for days now so I haven’t been out riding in nearly a week. All this bike talk makes me want to get back out there.

Tero X 6.0 and Tero 5.0 show the same motor in the specs unless I’m missing something: “Specialized 2.2, 90Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal”. I saw the shortened mud guard too. Already trimmed mine - the bottom 8” or so is flexible plastic. And if you do any road riding at all...
