Just got my first ever e-bike. Among the several changes I immediately made to the bike were going tubeless. Rims and tires that came with the bike were tubeless ready to begin with. I had everything else to make the change as I run tubeless on my other bikes. But I do carry a small...

I have titanium pots in several different sizes but I always keep coming back to my heavy, old, MSR 750ml stowaway SS pot. Perfect size for gourmet ramen, Tasty Bites, instant mashed potatoes, grilling sausages, etc…

As for the rear panniers I use Ortleib Gravel Packs, 12 liters each, and reasonably priced. Got them from REI, on sale for about $130 for the pair. The mounts are pretty solid.

Just got my Canyon with Bosch Performance Line CX. Download the app on my phone, everything set at default. This is my first ever e-bike so I can‘t compare it to anything else. But I am amazed at how well it climbs on steep hills, on setting just above the eco mode. But of course, I’m...

So, I ordered the bike on Tuesday morning and it was delivered this morning. Wasn’t expecting a 24 hr delivery service…:))

I didn’t want to go 29 as my 2 other mtbs (non e-bikes) are 27.5‘s. Besides, with my height and inseam, I ride a small frame and a 29’er just seems out of proportion…

That’s exactly the first thing I did, looked at the label on the tire. But in the specs it mentions 29… Anyhow, I received a reply from Canyon this afternoon and they state that it is indeed 27.5 and the motor is their Performance Line Speed Motor, and not the CX….

29 or 27.5. Their description page is not clear as to which wheel size is spec’d. Perhaps depends on frame size? Anyone know? I’ve asked them directly, no reply…

Original poster here. So as not to deal with chain line and narrow, 12-speed Shimano chain issues, I am now looking to run single speed on my Microspline hub wheel. Running SS, I can practically run any chain and fine tune my chain line. Ive built and ridden single speed and fixed gear...

I agree. My only ‘non-use’ mtb is a late 90’s Dean ti Colonel, hardtail, rigid, which would almost be a perfect candidate, except for that it is non-disc (I feel much safer with discs on a loaded rig) and that it has no rack braze-ons.

I originally purchased my Surly Grappler last year as frameset only from my LBS. I built it up with a mix of some new, and mostly with parts I already had on hand. Currently, the bike is back to its bare frame so I can rebuild from scratch at this point. The rear dropout is actually 145mm...

Thank you so much for all the suggestions and ideas!! I’m as confused as heck now.. LOL… Seems like the XT micro spline hub with its 12-speed drivetrain is the major sticking point. Perhaps if I swapped my drivetrain to an HG hub, running 9, 10, or 11 speed might do the trick, but i still...

Hello, from Los Angeles! I’ve been into cycling for close to 5 decades now, road, MTB, singlespeed, & fixed gear. Love to tinker, been building bikes from the frame up for a very long time…. I’ve also been doing a lot of 1 or 2 nite bikepacking these past couple of years on my Ritchey Ascent...
