Thanks for the link for the Lefty servicing. I'm WAY over the 50 hour mark, so it's probably time to service my Oliver fork.

I can't comment on the Trek, but I can comment on the Lefty, as I've owned one for 4 years. I'm not sure what you're eluding to when you say the lefty fork will need regular maintenance. Mine bike has just over 10,000km on it and I haven't touched the fork....and it works fine. Tire selection...

60PSI is the max.

I only use the flat side for short periods of time, where clipping in is dangerous. A couple of years ago I was riding my bike in the downtown of a large city, on a busy street, when I had to stop quickly at a traffic light. I didn't have time to unclip and fell over, just as a city bus was...

@salaryman, if you're going to buy a pair of clipless pedals I'd recommend going with a pedal that has a clip on one side and is flat on the other side. That way when you're riding in heavy traffic, sandy soil, etc., you can unclip and ride on the flat side. The thing with being clipped in is...

I had a Chinese knockoff of the Surly corner bar on one of my bikes, but I didn't like how my Altus shift levers fit I in relationship to the brake levers). Even though I never rode the bike with the corner bar I liked how the bar felt while sitting on the bike. I've gone back to a straight bar...

Photo of my Moloko bar on my bike. I reused the long (and very comfortable) Jones end bar grips.

I agree with jabberwocky-having your bike converted to an ebike would be a option. Someone like @PedalUma (on this forum) could custom build you an ebike using your bike. His bikes look awesome.

I recently put a Chinese knockoff of the Jones H bar on my commuter bike. I found the stock straight(ish) flat bar to be uncomfortable on longer rides, so I wanted to try something different. The handlebar felt more comfortable, but I felt the bar had too much of a back sweep (45 degrees). I...

Just to be clear, if you're riding at around 18-20 mph in level 1 the motor is still putting out a bit of power?

I have the full range of bikes; from my carbon Defy road bike, to my Bosch powered e-gravel bike, to my 2200W commuter and mountain bikes. I love my Defy, but at 72 I'm really starting to hate those hills. That's why I'm thinking the CF Racer 1 might be a good replacement for my Defy, which can...

I just went to the Canadian Specialized website to check out the new Creo aluminum and was surprised to see a considerable price drop from the old Creo 1 aluminum model. The new Comp E5 is $5499.00 Canadian, while the Creo 1 was $7200.00. I have no idea if there is a big difference in...

I recently went back and rewatched 3 review videos on the CF Racer 1. I'd like some feedback on what I see as two negatives. First, is the flat, wide handlebar. It looks great for resting your hands on the top for a change of position, but it looks to be next to impossible to mount a light or...

The back wheel looks to be 32 spokes-is that correct? The only thing holding me back from ordering one of these bikes is that I already have a very nice e-gravel bike (Cannondale Topstone Neo Lefty 3), which I really like riding. It's only downside is it weighs 39 pounds.

Their Racer 1 road bike looks very tempting.

Decathlon is available in Canada, but their website doesn't show their new e-gravel bike yet.

I noticed that Cannondale is putting the new Bosch XS motor in their revised Synapse Neo.

I also have a Fumpa pump, but I haven't had to use it in the six months I've owned it, which I guess can be considered a good thing. In the past I always carried a couple of C02 containers, but if you run tubeless with sealant you're going to have to take the tire off and peel off the congealed...

Yes, it's a beautiful looking bike, although I may be bias, as I own a 2018 Defy Advanced Pro 0, which I still enjoy riding.

I'd like to see a e-Defy, with a 300 to 400W battery powering the new Bosch XS motor. Maximum weight of 28 pounds.
