    Looking for a ebike that fits my need

    I will reply in a rather limited fashion as I have not been able to ride my bikes for over two months now due to a reemergence of the health challenge I have been battling for the past three years. I found the Kinekt suspension stem did not have quite enough range of motion and bottomed out...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    Jay, that guilt is precisely what spurred me into putting a Fos suspension on our 2019 Homage. Nancy deserves at least as much comfort and care as do I, if not more.

    Hill climber

    There is at least one sixty pound bike that meets your other specs. With that level of power the extra weight will not be noticed while riding, but if you have to carry it upstairs, it will. Also specifying wattage is barking up the wrong tree. Wattage is known to be quite variable in the...

    VERY disappointed with my new 2023 Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    From the photos, it looks like Specialized favored a very cool looking, sleek, stemless, integrated handlebar/stem setup with no adjustability in favor of one the can be adjusted for comfort.

    Too Much Emphasis on Flat Protection

    Relying on that extra power for overcoming accumulated careless weight added to the bike is just what I am calling into question. I Personally prefer to have that added power available for greater speed or longer range rather than using it in overcoming heavy tires stuffed with tubes, liners...

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    I had to choose between a dropper post or a suspension seat post. I opted for the Kinekt "body float" with carbon post. I can still get my leg over the saddle, barely but I figured the Kinekt will make so much more of the ride easier on my old bones, while I can mount and dismount using a...

    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    No. There is enough travel in the B screw to accommodate the 46tooth cog.

    Too Much Emphasis on Flat Protection

    There are many ways in which a tire can preform well or poorly, road or trail grip, durability, rolling resistance, weight, overall compliance and ride quality and, yes, puncture resistance. It seems that for most, the holy grail of tires is puncture proof or highly puncture resistant. The...

    I'm Too Poor To Afford Carbon Fibre E-Bike And/Or CF Components

    You have to be incredibly wary with carbon fiber frames and components like forks and handlebars. They can be expensive which tempts riders to buy lower priced carbon stuff from makers in China without known reputations or long term reviews on their products. The domestic products or those...

    Kinekt seat post + Specialized 'Mirror' seat

    If anything a suspension seat post should put less stress on carbon fiber rails (or any other material) than a fixed, rigid seatpost with no compliance.

    My 1000w motor journey and fear mongering by users of the forum!

    If that is the case and you are on a mixed use trail then you should slow down or bear the consequences. Why should you be subject to a ticket for going at a safe speed just because your vehicle can be ridden at higher speeds? If public safety is the primary concern, your son on his...
