Sound. Smooth as silk in all gears.

There is for sure some of that going on. I would also think, what you see online may not be what you actually get because it is hard to procure all the parts. Even well established builders are getting pinched. My new bike with a Shimano GRX 800 series group set will have to come with GRX 600...

I would add, that as the pressure goes up, it get harder to be more accurate, imo. The press test above 50 is not that precise for me. But I run my at 35 psi, so I don't have that problem I did this one because it was cheap (it was 10.00 usd). I do have to use a Schrader adapter...

Tires can be improperly mounted and have wobble. Rims can be out of true too. Check the variations at the tire surface and at the rim to determine which is the issue. Rarely are tires out of balance like cars because there is not enough RPMs and weight difference.

I think you will like the tubeless and higher end tires. They are rounder in their overall profile. This allows you to smoothly initiate and come out a turn. While in the turn there is good control and more confidence. Very Fun. BTW: having knobblies on the sides is not always a good...

Yes, It should not have any noticeable side to side. Flex is not the same as a shift in position, BTW. If it does not align, the hub, gears, brake rotor and chain could all get premature wear or damage.

You get that acceleration by adjusting the line of your turn. There will be a reserve of centrifugal force force in the bike-frame, your body, and tires. Gradual start, tighter, tighter to the point of not washing out, and then releasing.

It depends upon the spindle. What motor do you have? What model- generation?

My buddy and I could it in under 3 minutes. So being able to do it in 10 minutes is reasonable.

Once a ride is WAY too much. Couple of points. Maybe your line through the turn is not very good. It should be optimized. It is hard to describe because it is very dynamic process. It takes practice. Maybe your speed is wrong. Greg Lemond was known for saying, if you can pedal through your...

I like to turn my torso to "sail" with the wind. Just like when skiing on a flat traverse on a windy ridge (with good wax), you can turn your body and sail across the flats.

I would add that the only seat I could do a 200 mile day was a leather Brooks that was broken in to my anatomy. That and it breathes. Also your form makes a huge difference. Some people slouch and sit on their seats. Others ride their seats, using their legs, torso and ankles to support...

If it is not, it should be a trade secret.

Very Fat tires are over rated, imo. A 38-50mm tire is plenty for all conditions except sand. Modern tires (clinchers) are much more rounded profile so you don't need them that wide to get the performance. Also larger tires are heavy. Check out Panaracer too. I run this in the front: Gravel...

Bulls is a US company; Gazelle is from the Netherlands and Gazelle is much older. I believe. Nevertheless, ride both. The Performance Line CX (Bulls CL Evo) has been getting more tuning support from Bosch than then Performance Line Cruise (G380). This *might* be important to get a smoother...

Capt, I am in the same boat. I have not been using the assist for the last 1000 miles. Just riding with an extra 20 pounds of motor and battery. I got a new https://www.knollybikes.com/steelcache arriving in about 3 weeks. The E-bike has been great and got those first 2000 miles on it and...

All the other features are possible, but that is a pretty long list with the throttle REQUIREMENT. It is all a compromise. That being said, all the equipment and feature cannot make up for basic bicycling skills. Although the adage about "never forgetting how to ride" is often stated, it is...

I wonder if the pressure used in the tubeless makes the bead seal-weld itself to the rim. I run 40 psi and never have a problem. What PSI was the tire for those having problems? I run tubeless because when it wears thin, I get a self sealing flat on the first flat. Then I go home and change...

Talking with my LBS, all part sourcing is going to be very tough again this summer. They said SRAM is telling them 700 days for some build kits.

This is probably one of the best things I bought. I don't use the dry bag on a daily basis. it is super easy and VERY VERY secure to carry things without the dry bag. I carry groceries! https://www.revelatedesigns.com/index.cfm/store.catalog/seat-bags/Terrapin8L
