The LBS employee where I picked up my Specialized said its the first time he can remember not being able to get basic parts. He also mentioned that incoming shipments from Asia are being held up at ports so tariffs can be calculated. Shipments are trickling through and every container is opened...

I picked up the bike today and spent quite a bit of time adjusting and monkeying around with it and learning my way around Mission Control and the TCD display. I only left myself time for a 10 mile ride using the stock power settings. Observations and notes in random order: Motor very smooth...

Yes, I think those Marathons will weigh a ton and are probably stiff as heck. I was leaning to the Energizer Plus but Schwalbe was out of stock. I like the pedals for sure. My Origin8s on my Trek are similar and yes I've cut up my calves and shins several times with those. The Stamp 7s are...

Desiknio has several Pinion options, 6 speed, 9 speed etc...I'm a fan of the bike and brand but I'm not willing to import to USA without dealer or distributor support. Yes, the euro speed limit is a major drawback. That is why I was hoping they would enter the US market via a distributor or...

. I ordered the Marathon e-Plus right off of Schwalbe's website. The LBS supposedly ordered tires for me (not sure from where) and almost a month passed before I was able to reach someone by phone. The tires had not arrived. When they checked on it they said "everything is out of stock". They...

My first non-Bosch e-bike. It hasn't gotten off to a great start. I don't have the bike yet (tomorrow - maybe) but my service experience with the LBS from date of order to now has been the worst I've ever had for any large purchase. I can't go into all of the details here because I want to keep...

I have just over 7,000 miles on Super Moto X with no flats (various bikes) versus 750 on the new Bontrager tires (w Tannus) and my first flat. Of course it could be sheer chance. But if I get more and it starts to look like a trend with the Bontragers then I will change them out. I do like the...

The Allant 9.9s has Bontrager tires 27.5 x 2.4. Same size as Schwalbe Super Moto-X which were stock on the Allant's predecessor the SC8. I believe the Bontrager's are a bit lighter in weight and perhaps that is due to less flat protection but not sure. Anyway, I didn't know about the nail when...

I had a rear flat on my Trek Allant+ with Tannus. It looked like a finishing nail stuck deep into the tread. Very small diameter and copper in color. Tire was repaired last week by my LBS. I asked them to save the nail so I could post a picture but the message didn't make it to the mechanic so I...

Nothing too compelling in the product offering - based on what is shown in that article. If I was looking for Bosch and French I'd probably stick with Moustache. Although the Peugots do appear a bit less expensive as compared to the upper-tier Moustache bikes.

If I can keep only 1 bike it will be the GSD. I cleaned it tonight and took a really good look at the chain, spokes, tires... I'm at about 1,600 miles and 2 years of ownership. Should be falling out of Bosch warranty about now. I'm surprised that the Super Moto-X tires look new. I can hardly...

Just a few items in each pannier (including beer and mineral water). The Tern shopping pannier has been quite useful. Have used it for a couple of years on multiple bikes. Highly versatile. Folds up nice and flat when not in use but expands nice and wide. Wide enough to accommodate most...

My Kiox is on order. Had a discussion w LBS on Bosch software update. They confirmed I can choose to leave the existing (lower) torque setting while still being able to take advantage of any other future updates. I'm opting for the lower torque because existing 75nm is more than sufficient and...

This video is not about e-bikes. But I found the information on touring geometries gear ratios,and components to be so useful that I felt the need to post:

Well just in case there is anyone out there who was thinking of trying the eeSilk: it is dead. gone. not coming back (anytime soon). Cane Creek's website has showed them backordered. I sent them an email asking for an availability estimate and received a very polite response saying that they are...

I just ordered spare tubes from Tannus. In the checkout process, they do not have the functionality to specify the tube size. So in the comments, I specified the size of my Tannus Armour and tire (27.5 x 2.4). Separately I sent an email to their customer service and gave my order number and said...

So perhaps someone can help with my Tannus inner tube problem. I have a very small copper-colored nail embedded in the rear tire of my Allant. On discovery, the tire was mostly flat. After filling to 40 psi, it has held most of the air for over 24 hours. Anyway, I realized a faux pas on my part...

Cool little gadgets. Thanks for posting. I just ordered a pair.

Yeah weird about the flat. I'm pretty sure that Tannus does not advertise any sealant capabilities. And we didn't add sealant. From Friday's cleaning to Saturday's discovery - less than 24 hours, the rear tire was mostly flat - enough air or cushion from the Tannus to ride slowly. I found the...

I'm at about 750 miles and time for an update - a couple of hundred miles since the hub was replaced. I haven't had any further issues and its been a true pleasure-ride. I do believe more strongly that Eco mode on the Bosch Performance Line motors is too strong. I posted with some other bikes...
