Not a road bike chain ring which would naturally have more teeth to attain higher speed, sacrificing climbing ability.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Trek Domane + LT, with the Fazua motor, a purpose designed road bike, not a gravel bike? With the motor and battery removable, leaving a 26 lb. bike, it gives the rider the freedom to choose between ebike or road bike for each ride. It has front and rear...

For a quiet higher powered mid drive, the Dapu motor used by Evelo puts out up to 115 Newton meters of torque and is remarkably quiet except when climbing very steep hills. Cruising on flat ground, all I can hear is tire noise and the server motor on the Auto shift system.

Actually, to be perfectly precise, the official stated weight of the Specialized Range Extender is 1067 grams which is 2.35 lbs. In the USA they are priced at $450, quite high for only 120 Watt Hours (a 500 watt hour Bosch Power Tube can be purchased for $650). In point of fact "less than...

The Turbo Creo is a great bike. It is also a designed gravel bike. Specialized offers a lighter weight version with a more road oriented group set, larger front chainring and skinnier tires, same frame with same head tube angle. In all cases Turbo Creo is only available in a 1x configuration...

If, after reading the use case of the person seeking advice, it points toward a bike we know, really enjoy and have had sustained positive experience with, suggesting that bike only makes sense. I have owned several bikes made by one of the top ebike makers but my experience with them is such...

The Cannondale Topstone Neo 2 is a carbon fiber frame gravel bike with a Shimano GRX group set with a 2x13 22 speed drive train. It has the Bosch speed motor that assists up to 28 mph and a 500 watt hour battery. II have the Neo 3 version with a lefty front fork and a 1x11 drive train. At...

Nor should they (or you) The topic is Thudbuster vs Kinekt.

Burley Coho XL trailer on my 2018 Riese & Muller Delite

The ultrasonic cleaner cleans out all the interior voids in the chain, even between the pins and rollers, leaving it absolutely dry and very ready to rust. Also the rollers do just that...roll. They do not stay in the same orientation to the inside or outside of the chain, After a thorough...

I have an Efficient Velo Tools EZ lift stand. Made in the USA, down on the Columbia river and very expensive but absolutely awesome. You lower the clamping mechinism, secure the bike to it on the ground and then lift with a 30lb counterweight. No lifting the bike, holding it with one hand and...

Wow!! excellent report and even better observations. Thanks for sharing what you learned over the 1 year + of riding and carefully studying and learning how to get the most out of your Kinekt Seat Post. I have them on all my hard tail ebikes over the past four years and learned to adjust the...

The new version of Chain Cleaner from Park Tool Cm 5.3, mounts the handle on either side so there is no need to turn the chain backward, just flip the cleaner around with the handle on the other side.

I lube my chain and cassette every 125-200 miles depending on whether it has gotten wet since the last time or is looking particularly dirty. When it is time to clean the chain, I put the bike up on the stand, remove the chain from the bike and remove the rear wheel and the cassette from the...

The Dapu company is in Japan. I can't confirm if their mid drive motors are actually manufactured in Japan or somewhere else. Their site refers to plants in Japan, China and Vietnam but does not specify which motors are built in which location. Dapu makes quite a variety of rear hub motors...

By the way, there is no problem with using a Kuat or any other rack that uses tire hooks on a bike with solid alloy or stainless fenders. I would not hesitate to use one on my Allant 9.9S which has robust alloy fenders with 10mm rod stays. The SKS polycarbonate fenders used on most German...

It looks there may be two examples of confirmation bias in the thread, mine and someone elses ;) Just because one can't imagine something happening does not mean that it won't. The challenge to the structural integrity of a fender on a rack grows exponentially as the car speed increases, as...

The specified charger that comes with the 9.9S is the 4 amp charger. Yes the 2 amp will work just fine, it will just take twice as long to complete a charge. Your dealer gave you the wrong charger with your bike. Bosch calls this a "travel" charger as it is smaller and lighter. The travel...

I clamp our Allant 9.9s on the seat tube so there is no problem with low step or diamond frames. On the Verve you can clamp on the seat tube or the low horizontal piece that connects to the down tube and the seat tube. In order to clamp on to the Allant, it is best not to use the bottle cage...

I had a buddy's Turbo Creo on my Easyfold along with my Allant 9.9 with no contact issues. I guess there are combinations that work and others that don't...a good thing to verify before purchase.
