    Attia/Pogacar interview

    I can't believe from how far out Pogacar attacked and won, solo'ed in from 50 km's amazing.

    Bosch SX motor reliability

    I know this motor is relatively new so there won't be a lot of data, but how reliable have these motors been? Are they noticeably different than past Bosch motors? I find the smaller size, and lower weight quite appealing, but not if it comes at the cost of reliability.

    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I took the long way home on Thursday after work. Here is the first picture of my new ride, Vader. I named the bike Vader because he's got a Force groupset and well he's a dark colour (I wanted yellow, but it was a warranty replacement and I didn't have a choice). So dark side of the Force...

    TQ motor

    Antonio that's a lot of data to wade through. Could you please provide your thoughts about your experiences riding the bike with a TQ motor and maybe tie in the data a bit?

    Shipping Container of New Biktrix FS Model Stolen.. Help track down the thieves.

    Really sorry how this has affected you and I really respect how you're not folding up shop and leaving customers in a lurch. I'd even order a bike from you, but unfortunately I want a light ebike with a small motor, no suspension, etc .... and your models seem to be the other end of the spectrum.

    Orbea Diem

    I think it's the type of ebike best suited for most people.

    Shipping Container of New Biktrix FS Model Stolen.. Help track down the thieves.

    Really sad news. I've never purchased a BikTrix but they seem to be a good company. I hope the bikes can be found and returned to them.

    Cervelo warranty

    I thought I was clear with my last sentence that I mentioned it solely so people would get an idea of what dealing with Cervelo on a warranty issue would be like. I'm not interested in a Cervelo ebike. I will have an ebike again in the future, likely the Cube Editor which was just released...

    Cervelo warranty

    Ok, this doesn't have to do with an ebike specifically, but as Cervelo make an ebike now I think it's relevant. Back in 2011 I bought a Cervelo RS and I rode it for over a decade and put over 20k km's on it. I was getting ready to retire it to trainer status when doing an overhaul it was...

    Can I change derailleurs?

    I believe the cable pull between Shimano and SRAM is different. However, there's likely a JTek Shiftmate that will work for your set up. https://www.peterwhitecycles.com/Shiftmate.php My work computer wouldn't allow me to visit the JTek site directly, but they have a compatibility chart...

    Giant Ebike Life Expectancy

    I'm in Vancouver. You were on the original chain? Wow! I think my co-worker is on his 3rd or 4th chain, I'm pretty sure his 4th, and I think he's on his 3rd cassette.

    Giant Ebike Life Expectancy

    Damn, I would have gladly bought a used Fastroad E+ - but you're probably not local to me. My co-worker has a Fastroad E+ as well. He got it in early 2020 and the other day he said he's at 17,000 km's on it. He really likes it and sounds like he'll have it for quite some time.

    I've found my future ebike

    They are using Shimano Alfine - 8 speed for one model and 11 speed for another model. I have seen youtube videos where people service the IGH themselves and someone said they used grease instead of oil with good results. Even if I can't service it myself, going once a year to the shop isn't a...

    I've found my future ebike

    Yes, as it's a Bosch system there is a 250 wh range extender battery available. I am unlikely to purchase the RE though. As it's a commuter and errand runner I doubt I would ever come close to using the capacity of the battery. If I'm going to do a 100 km+ ride then I'll likely ride the Aethos...

    I've found my future ebike

    After selling the Creo I haven't had an ebike for a while but I've seen the ebike I plan to buy in the future. https://www.cube.eu/uk-en/e-bikes/trekking/city/editor-hybrid Under 40 lbs, with an IGH and Gates carbon belt for really low maintenance. I'll be able to put huge miles on this bike...

    Specialized turbo vado SL 4.0 chainring information.

    Well hate to break it to you, but my permanent fix was to sell the bike. That wasn't the only reason for selling the bike, I also have an Aethos and found myself just riding the Aethos far more and it didn't make sense to have the Creo just sit there most of the time so I sold it to a friend who...
