To be fair to the Allant's history, the confirmed and consistent problem outlined in the EBR forums is the rear hub. There were two motor replacements listed but the problem was never the motor - it was the hub. The motor replacements were unnecessary. The flying battery cases, it appears to me...

I was interested in this thread because I have no experience with Tektro and I was wondering how they compared to Shimano and Magura (those that I do have experience with). The Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 which I have on order comes equipped with Tektro HD-R510 160mm. But I didn't see those...

Just wondering ... if you get a good wheelset, w/perhaps carbon rims ... and you have a good compliant handlebar ... then is the Lauf fork really necessary?

My wife had a large box stuck at the Oak Park FedEx facility for over a month. She obtained a refund on the item from the seller and then later had to reimburse the seller when FedEx finally got around to delivering it. We assumed it had been lost or stolen because FedEx could provide no info...

I bought and planned the upfitting of this bike for commuting (road only wet and dry pavement). Right about the time I was finishing the mods we hit Covid lockdowns so the commuting is done for the foreseeable future. But I have to tell you that, in spite of that, I'm glad I listened to my LBS...

They warranty them for 5,000 miles. I seem to recall reading that they last over 10,000 before I bought mine. They claim that if you do get a puncture, you can run flat at low speeds without damaging your rim (avoiding rugged terrain). I'm pleased with the ride quality with the Tannus installed...

Etnies with Michelin soles for commute + office wear - riding on spiked platform pedals:

I haven't tried the P7i. Sweet looking bike. Not sure what the gear range on the Nexus 7 is but on the S10 I do find myself running out of gears from time to time. If I am on a flat with good pavement and perhaps a tailwind I can ride around 23 mph without motor assistance - and I am in the...

When I had the Charger GX (2017) I used this handlebar bag from North Street Bags - with a couple of bicycle clipstraps purchased off of Amazon to keep the bag from moving around. A smaller bag but plenty of room for essentials and some food or what not.

I don't own a Watt Wagons or know anything about Dominions. But on my various bikes my best brakes with the most stopping power have been the Maguras.

Well maybe the SRAM app isn't as useful as I thought: instruction manual says 5-25 hours of riding on a full charge of the derailleur (not sure why such a wide range) I recalled from reading reviews or watching videos that folks were citing 20 hours The battery indicator in the app is easier to...

Yes the GSD is plenty comfortable for a 40 mile ride. Sometimes on large potholes though it can feel like a rodeo horse. I just think a commuter bike with 650b or 700c wheels particularly if they are a wider than about 40s provides a more comfortable ride for longer distances (in addition to a...

Those slowpoke cats need to watch out for the tailgating dogs in their big pickup trucks.

Prior to Covid I was folding the bike alot. I used the Vektron frequently to do a 1/2 work commute wherein I would load the Vektron in the back of our Hyundai Ioniq or Subaru and carpool with my wife to work. Her office is 2 miles from mine. Then I would do the full ride home or about 20 miles...

Concur that the Kuat works with fenders. Obviously only one fender matters and the front fenders are generally shorter and allow for placement of the arm over the tire just in front of the fender.

If you have/downloaded the SRAM app, there are a few settings you can manipulate/set (after pairing your phone to the derailleur). It looked to me that multi-shift was off by default. If you haven't changed it via the app then I'm betting your's is off as well.

Well I went on what my LBS told me to order given they were installing the SRAM. I don't know if that makes any difference in which hub one would have to order. I really recommend you let the LBS advise. But with that caveat out of the way, I ordered SKU 086734. When you search that SKU on their...

Yes the budget isn't going to cover the bikes I mentioned.

@Alaskan just cost me a bundle of money too ... cluing me in to the SRAM electronic setup and Onyx hub ... if that guy keeps posting his upgrades, I just might go broke!;)
