    I also like going at a good rate of speed, especially when going downhill.

    It was from Pro Bike Supply and it was for a Rockshox Lyric for 750 total with the same exact bolt on specs as the Yari but with a better dampening system. By the way they already gave me a refund.

    I found out that the place I ordered the Rockshox Yari from was out of stock. They had some upgraded forks in stock but that would be an additional 250 bucks. They said maybe they will get more of them in 3-4 weeks. I said that I'd like them to return my money and then let me know when they...

    I bought a Rockshox Yari front fork because I want a better suspension.

    I know that a Rockshox Yari Rc 27.5 170mm 15x110mm 46mm fits. I'm looking at getting one of those because they actually work. The stock forks don't really do much of anything besides look good.

    I think that a 20 dollar For 20 bucks you can get a Rockbros kickstand that works great.

    It's going to be too hot to ride for awhile for me. I bought the Aventure for a second ebike so others could ride with me. I can see myself taking it out for a ride every now and then for some variety. It's a set up pretty nicely. The seat is comfortable, I'm thinking about adding a...

    I got mine yesterday, put it together easily. The fender rods for the rear fender were bent but they were easily straightened. There was also a small scratch on the rear fender but it was pretty much covered up by the rear rack. I took it out for a test drive today and everything seems to be...

    First accident

    Luckily I haven't had anything close to crashing. I did have a close call with a large metal post at a trail crossing that rubbed off a little paint from the frame. My legs look like I've wandered into a blackberry patch because I wear shorts and I have studs on the pedals to get a better grip...

    For that much I think I'd just go ahead and buy something that was already set up to handle the extra power. I think that eventually there'll be an affordable power upgrade available for the Rockstar that makes sense in the future.

    So, I'm just wondering,what it would the cost for an Ultra 620 motor and then a conversion be? Because there's always room for improvement.

    I think that it doesn't take very long to get used to the way it operates and performs. The way it delivers power seems to meet The requirements of speed and torque that are needed to ride it in most situations. It could have been a little smoother in the transition of pedal assist and...

    Exactly, a chain is only about 50 bucks, it was worth it, and eventually I'm going to ease up on the heavy duty riding.

    I'm sure that the chain would last for a long time if it was being used less aggressively.

    I thought I'd give a fairly quick update on how things are going with the Rockstar. I've got around 300 miles on it and have been riding it fairly hard. It keeps up with traffic in residential areas, it will do 35 mph with the right conditions going slightly down hill. I have been taking it up...

    Ok, that's too bad that it came to you that way. I think I'd say something to them about it being that way out of the box.

    Did you spray the stem with soapy water to see if it's leaking there? It could just be a tiny piece of dirt that could be easily removed.

    I received notice that my Aventure has been shipped and is now in transit, with some luck I could be seeing it next week.

    Some options you could think about With changing the seat are a padded seat cover, a suspension seat post, adjusting the seat height so you get full leg extensions, this is very important for riding comfortably. They also have riding pants that have a padded seat built into them which...
