    I think I understand New York's ebike fire problem a little better now.

    It had been a while since i'd been to the city. The last time I was there, I don't recall seeing any e-bikes. Probably because they didn't exist. But on a trip there a few days ago, I had a short list of things that I wanted to do - and one of those was to check out the e-bike scene...which I...

    Yeah for sure. I could still get just about everywhere I wanted to go up until yesterday, but this one has been on another level. Considering we're in the 80s now, and all this extra humidity, I'm going to sit the next couple weeks out. Good timing 'cause I'll be out of town almost that long...

    It really is. That's usually a trickle. A healthy stream maybe, but today it was a river. These rains have been with us for a good 2 months. Bike paths are trashed. Puddles can be deceptively dangerous as they're full of silt and as slick as ice. I've been in Colorado for 12 years and...

    My commute to work takes me through Cherry Creek State Park - if I can get there. We've seen some record rains here on the Front Range this year. I don't know if this is snowmelt or runoff from the rains last night - the same storm that produced a somewhat rare tornado for this part of the...

    Wow-Prices are down on E-Bikes on Specialized site!

    That could be the case. However I find it hard to see where manufacturers are going to make giant leaps. I don't see aluminum or carbon bikes getting much lighter. Range is only going to improve with a leap in battery chemistry. Motors aren't going to get much more efficient than they...

    Wow-Prices are down on E-Bikes on Specialized site!

    I kinda want another ebike and have had nothing but crap experiences from both Trek dealers and the mothership. Sounds like I'm not the only one. Maybe it's time to try what Specialized is offering. A bit more on topic though I've been hearing a lot of chatter about inventory gluts and...

    I'm climbing mad hills all day on a 7S. It is a bicycle, so you have to time your gear choices and assist levels wisely, but mine's a flippin mountain goat.

    First Ebike - 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    Totally, but after 2 shops trying and failing, I'm losing faith. And time. It's a 3-4 hour investment to get the bike to a shop & back - plus the time I don't have it. It's not worth it anymore.

    First Ebike - 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    So this still unnamed steed is starting to show its age a little after a bit over 1700 miles. Despite attempts by 2 shops and the factory, this top bottle boss on the seat tube is an escape artist. I think I'm going to tackle this one myself. Maybe some JB Weld or some other sort of adhesive...

    Best method/kit to bleed shimano brakes

    Never bothered with any other way with Shimano brakes. It just works. However, if you manage to get a bubble & that won't come out with pumping and flicking the line, you can usually clear it by using a syringe to pump upstream. I remember Seth Alva doing a video using baby oil for brake...

    First Ebike - 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    So about these new tires I kept expectations low. The narrow made me nervous. Preconceptions of narrow tires bowing to lesser territory and all One thing that's immediately obvious is the girth reduction. I could smuggle drugs in the fenders now. That's yet to be rain-tested, but keeps...
