    Winter Is Coming - Biking in Cold Weather

    for face and head get a good fleece balaclava the will fit well under your helmet and cover your face with goggles that cover and protect your eyes. For pants I like Goretex rain pants over heavier fleece pants. For gloves a pair of High Vis Road Crew gloves really work...

    Upgraded and hot-rodded our 2017 Riese & Muller Humage (GT Nuvinci)

    I had the same Fox suspension fork and shock on my Homage. It was ordered as a factory upgrade over the Suntour which was standard. I mounted the fenders myself and did some custom bending to make sure the stay cleared at all times.

    What's your thoughts & suggestions?

    The Nightrider Sentinal 250 is the best I have seen for enhancing visibility and being seen. It is really two lights in one. In addition to a 250 lumen tail light with a good variety of modes it has two lasers that lay down bright red lane lights about 12 feet long on the road on either side of...

    Upgraded and hot-rodded our 2017 Riese & Muller Humage (GT Nuvinci)

    Terrific and creative job modifying a great bike. I owned a 2018 Homage HS Rohloff and ended up Jonesing for a chain and derailleur set up. The eagle 12 is a brilliant solution. I have a Shimano 12speed on my Trek Allant 99.9s with the 1--51 tooth cassette and ended up installing a Sram AXfS...

    Atlantic Magazine on ebikes

    Typical self absorbed millennial, who is all about what other think, trying too hard to impress and assuming he knows far more than he does. Sounds like he bought the cheapest ebike he could find with too powerful a motor, a primitive controller, piss poor components and weighing too much...

    Looking for a ebike that fits my need

    I beg to differ. Suntour has entry level and premium forks, not as good as rockshox or fox but but premium within the brsnd

    Looking for a ebike that fits my need

    Stefan I have edited my post to reflect Serial 1s change to an air fork and include information about their app which looks quite interesting. Go back and reread it. It looks like a rider should be quite happy with either bike although I know any bike of yours has to have that big "S" on it now.

    Looking for a ebike that fits my need

    The Specialized shop a mile from our house caries Serial1 bikes. I have test ridden several of them. They have some very refined features, like the tail light and brake lights integrated into the seat tube and give an excellent ride. The coil spring fork is clearly not as good as an air fork...

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

    A rather important issue is being ignored here. Addressing the legality and enforcement of power restrictions on ebikes from an issue of "will I get a ticket or not?", ignores what will happen if you are involved in an accident, whether your fault or not. If someone is hurt in an accident...

    Disappointment with Allant 7

    I learned this from a Bosch certified technician at our local Trek store. You can search the web for confirmation as easily as can I but I do not need to do that as I have ridden both motors and gotten all the confirmation I need.

    Disappointment with Allant 7

    Actually that expectation would not be correct, at least within the Bosch ecosystem. The Bosch CX motor which is found on most Bosch powered bikes in Canada and on class 1 bikes in the USA is essentially the same motor that is used for the Speed version on class 3 bikes. They both put out a...

    What mode do you ride in and why?

    I ride in all modes, depending on topography, weather, how I feel, how far I plan to go, how much battery remains, etc.
