    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    For sure. They come on this forum asking how to un-limit their C1 ebike. Roadies are one thing, but for casual riders and mountain bikers it's simply ludicrous.

    eMTB Options For 2024

    For all but an expert or competition rider, whom don't ride ebikes anyway, a few pounds is easily made up with the assist. Sure the hardcore enthusiasts go for the lightest most agile bikes, but for the vast majority one way or another is insignificant. Suspension and geometry, componentry, hits...

    My Trance got 31.8 stem/bars. Never looked back. Where's that calculator for reach and height?

    Their website shows zero stock in any sizes - that means there aren't any in the system, at dealers or otherwise. Did someone indicate there would be any to order? Maybe next year? Think about Orbea Rise - some arriving early 2022. Or maybe even what might be coming in at YT Industries. You...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I think they're still way downhill oriented - make sure that's what you really want. There were rumblings here about it being different than years past, but before it was a really spread-out design. Even our 29" StanceE isn't nearly as snappy as my Trance. For my general trail riding I know the...

    Yes, tubeless is as simple as that. Pretty much the same as a tube but you don't install the tube. Get one bead on, the other about 3/4's, then pour in a couple of ounces of Stan's or equal. Rotate up and slip the rest of the bead on, pump to 40psi and you're golden. A compressor air source has...

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    It will, but not recommended. These work on any of the bikes with a speed sensor on the chainstay. You can only pedal so fast - so while it does unlock the speed limiter, you have to pedal faster and faster to go faster. I tried the speed sensor relo-hack and it surely goes faster, but for...

    Yes, a suspension seatpost is a plus. We had a few of the cheapo satori ones hanging around...better than nothing. The 'gravel' tires are just okay - much better options from Schwalbe. A 2" wide (50-55mm) can be squeezed onto those narrow rims and work out really well. The Marathon E+ are...

    Amiti is good on paved trail or groomed hardpack. It is not an 'offroad' bike - suspension is meant to absorb surface irregularities, not for mountain trails. It is a good road and bike-trail bike. Yes, supplies of them have been severely limited. If you like riding road and bike trail, it's a...
