    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    Yeah, I read the other posts. The only one of them all mentioning a 20 mph cut off is you. Not the email I got from CL this afternoon about this sale. Not on his facebook page. Not the screen shot earlier in this thread. (my sincere apologies-I don't have instagram) That's cool, though, if you...

    Hit 2000 miles today.

    Congrats, @dodgeman! Every thousand mile increment is a milestone to celebrate, wherever you might be when the odo clicks over. Then, it's onto the next thousand. After awhile, you start thinking of some of the more memorable rides you've been on in between thousand mile roll-overs. Soon...

    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    I've no clue as to what Strava, strava live segments or climbpro is.......but this I did stumble upon in a little research between the 530 and 830: The 530 is accessed by buttons on the side while the 830 uses the touch screen. More important to me is that the 830's mapping has the ability to...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    The problem here is that Lenny's as of this writing, 4 days after making their availability of these bikes on Facebook, known, still has not published just what bikes they have arriving; bike model name, sizes or prices. I don't know what is so hard for them to put this info on their facebook...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    I take that back. It's more likely a Dapu mid drive motor. Follow this link to see what a member here had to do to repair an internal drive gear within his BH motor: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/which-motor-do-i-have-please.31767/

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    I just found that Lenny's email in my junk folder. Tempting. That full suspension mtb on the right; I looked it up on their Euro site. Unlike the earlier BH which sold in the US with Yamaha PW and PWX drives, that mid drive there is possibly, a Brose mid drive. There was a person, here; a while...

    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    Subscribed. I'm still, technology-wise, stuck somewhere in the 1980's. Think Rand McNally folding state maps. At least they are waterproof with a nice, clear plastic coating. But after doing what ended up being a 95 mile bike ride, using just 2 500wh batteries, my getting lost in the blueberry...

    Radcity 2020 Hub motor cracking sound

    Good advice by Al and Joe. The recommended tire pressures could be found on the sidewall of the tire. Use a hand held tire guage to ensure an accurate tire pressure is reached. Often, those guages on floor air pumps leave a lot of accuracy to the imagination. Let us know the outcome!

    problem with brand new CREO SL COMP E5 2021 charger flashing red , not charging

    I'd not worry about the battery. My Haibike was a model year 2016 and I bought it at a steep discount in March, 2017. Since the battery was in it's deep sleep mode (like I suspect yours is, too); it was just a matter of charging the battery to awaken it. No problems at all, to this very day with...

    Thorn resistant 26" Schrader tubes?

    I recall some people talking about Flat Out freezing in their tubes.... They can claim away all they want, but there is no product out there that is going to physically close a 1/2" diameter hole in a thin wall latex rubber tube and maintain it's integrity while the tire rotates & deforms to...

    Thorn resistant 26" Schrader tubes?

    @psychoanalyst : This, I can tell you: On my Haibike Full FatSix and in thousands of miles of riding, with so many flats, I can't tell you the number, this I found: Mr Tuffy Liners will pass a thorn if long enough to hit the tube....it will. Tannus Armour will pass a thorn if long enough to hit...

    Help me decide

    Ah yes, Rome.......Devid Sam & Alicia Margaret of Magicycle, another fine, fine, off shore product. 🤣 :rolleyes: I always wondered if Devid spelled his name wrong (David)? Apologies to the OP. You have to be careful about on-line solicitations to buy a product from questionable sellers such as...

    Help me decide

    Done. For too long, spammers like this have been given full reign on this site. Think off shore marketers like Aostirmotor (they also do the same act over on Bike Forums) and of course, our old "friend", Nick Slinker, hawking his "Latest "American" lol electric bicycle brand (Slinker) For The...

    Cube vs Haibike

    As a United States based Haibike owner, I know which one I would take: the bike made by the company that pretty much invented the e-mountain bike game. My 2016 model year Full FatSix is as good today as it was when I took it out of it's shipping box in March, 2017. Yamaha PW drive on mine. Now...

    Long distance riding

    Outstanding ride report!! :) Staying hydrated is a big deal going beyond the 30 mile mark of any ride, especially so in summer heat. I've often thought about packing along my water filter in order to take advantage of nearby streams or rivers I might be riding alongside of on any of my extended...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    @Chargeride: Thanks! I think you are spot-on about ride style destroying the freehub pawls. Sounds like he might be hammering his H-Bike using a high gear on the cassette at a slow rate of speed, which really stresses out the entire drive train. Myself, I'm a spinner; constantly shifting to...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Sunday morning's ride was from Homebase, eastbound to a small town called Pemberton, in New Jersey. Not far into the ride, I clicked over the odometer to 18,000 total miles since putting the Haibike FullFatSix into service, April 2017. Burlington County, NJ was once the largest agricultural...

    Best trunk rack for MIK racks

    I like what I see of the MIK rack system. It reminds me of my older Ortlieb rack mounted carrying case, which has been gone from the Ortlieb catalog for several years.

    Hydraulic brakes help please

    It's been a couple seasons since I did my Magura MT-5's, but hydraulics is hydraulics regardless of name brand.......I found what worked for me was to use the Magura brake bleed kit syringe, attach it at the caliper bleed point (filled with brake fluid) AND a similar syringe (filled with brake...
