    Buy now or wait?

    Just a thought, your first e bike won't be the perfect bike for you because unless you have been riding an e bike you will not really know what to look for. With that thought in mind, buying as cheap you can get away with (knowing that you will be doing self repair) has some merit IF you check...

    Are wire bead tires compatible with the wheels on a 2019 Rad Rover?

    Could just establish the inner rim width directly. Measure the outer width then break the bead, measure rim edge thickness and subtract (X 2) from the outer width measurement.

    Another Gain review

    Do you think the cadence problem is endemic to lack of torque sensor or perhaps the hub motor itself (without a special power meter)?

    You will have difficulty meeting all your requirements. For example, drop bar bikes are very limited. Raleigh has dropped the Tamland; Trek has dropped the Crossrip + and the Domane + has the old Bosch battery and 500 wh battery and the new model for 2020 has not been introduced. The new...

    Or just to mount. With a dropper post, the step through design becomes of "what for" to many.

    They are. Usual mounted on left side with a wide variety of lever choices, albeit a bit pricey at $50+ for those from front line companies, Crank, Wolf, etc. I ride with a high seat that would allow 150 mm drop though that may be more than needed. Notice the Specialized Creo gravel has a...

    Vado 4.0 brose motor vs Bosch performance line

    If you want to match up riding pace so that both of you are peddling at your best rhythm, I would think you should just go with the Vado. The Vado has a Mission Control app which permits tuning the amount of power output for each power level. Thus you would be able to reduce or speed up the...

    Yes. Really. And right, you do not understand. And what you find on the web is often . . .. I believe dropping the seat on descents gives greater control, lowers center of gravity making it less likely to take a header over the handle bars when breaking hard as in an emergency. Again...

    How heavy is your eBike, and do you care?

    Your post is another piece of evidence that my fears that heavy weight e bikes will prevail. That is, to drop weight Bianchi went to a "battery on top of frame" design solution which the market is moving away from. For example see Trek dropping the battery on frame Cross-rip at 44 lbs for...

    Lawyer up. Failing to see is no excuse. There is a duty for drive to kept proper lookout and that includes for cyclists. When you hear some drive said "they didn't see" do not take that to mean they can escape liability, because all they may be doing is admitting they failed to keep a...

    Cassette durability! Convert to SRAM EX1? Try Rohloff E14, Nuvinci n360?

    Back in the day, the smallest cassette rings were independently replaceable. That is the 11 T itself could be removed from the cassette and replaced while keeping the other rings. You might look around to see if there is a cassette with a 11 T ring that could be replaced individually.
