@Stefan Mikes I realize I’m off topic here, but I’m planning a purchase this week. Vado SL 4 or Bulls Urban Evo 10 Diamond. Obviously these are completely different bikes. I think the Bulls is a great deal for $4K. Vado competitor, but I had the Vado 5 and don’t want another one. Anyway, I like...

@Stefan Mikes At which times do you choose to ride the SL? I'm wondering about power. Florida is flat so I don't have to sorry about hills. @fooferdoggie I found an 18-teeth version of the x-sync on ebay for $11.99. Is that basically the same thing without the guard? I need 5mm offset. Also...

Thanks Stefan, yes I should have paid more attention earlier. Do you still have your other bikes or just the SL now? I sold my Vado 5.0 a while back and am considering an SL.

I have around 1100 miles on my 2019 FullSeven 9.0. I measured the chain with a digital caliper and it is time to replace. I ordered, sized and installed the new chain, and then found some pretty bad skipping. So, time to replace the cassette and chain ring also. Seems I was remiss in not...

In the first few weeks of the Covid lockdown, when I realized I wouldn't be working for a while, I was able to get my FullSeven 9.0 delivered with free shipping and no tax for $3,250 (on a list price of $5,600). That list price now would be much higher with a GX Eagle setup. I too don't expect...

Yeah, it's so dumb I don't want to admit it, but I should have checked the chain path more closely. Apparently it was not seated completely on the jockey pulley. However, when I rode it and looked down it was spinning fine, so I thought it was fine. I would have sworn it was coming from the...

Thank you for that followup and info William, I haven't been able to get to it yet but will report back soon.

True Alaskan, I've had squeaky seat posts that I would swear were the forks! This is really odd, the cranks are stepped when I turn them, flipped or riding. I tried to ride it for a few feet and it feels like it's damaging the motor. I suppose I could have put the jockey pulley on backwards...

Thanks, but no, I've been all over that problem. This is much louder and coming from inside. It's unrideable. Can feel it clunking.

Hey all, this is in the Bosch thread but I need a larger audience maybe. I came home from the last ride perfect. Flipped it upside-down today to lube the chain before a ride. Spun the cranks some while cleaning the chain. Then out of nowhere this noise starts. It's coming from inside. Does...

Hey all, So I came home from the last ride perfect. Flipped it upside-down today to lube the chain before a ride. Spun the cranks some while cleaning the chain. Then out of nowhere that noise starts. It's coming from inside. Anyone know what it is???

Which model? Love to see a pic...

Thanks for sending FlatSix, I've been checking ebay but forgot about BBB...

Hello Stefan, it is a good point and there is a Trance X E+ Pro 29 3 about a 10-hour drive away. But what I'm after is the more relaxed geometry of the Stance (though I'd prefer the Fox suspension of course). I still have the FullSeven so it's not an emergency. Though I DO really need to find my...

Well, there is an XL 2196 miles form me. Quite a round trip!

I was considering a 2021 Giant Stance E+1. I called a bike shop yesterday and got a delivery estimate of October. October! I know bikes have been selling like crazy, and I know there have been supply problems. Is this the status with most manufacturers? I'm asking here in hopes of saving some...

I called a local bike shop yesterday and they told me that the expected delivery date for this bike is week 40. October!!! That’s a problem...

I used that multi mount for a water bottle cage. I found it really tricky to install but got it eventually. I won’t be taking it off I know that! I don’t think it would be possible without those metal bits falling down into the frame. Not fan of the modular rail system or that damn jockey...

I really missed out on those Haibike and Bulls prices while they were available on closeout, shoulda pulled the trigger. Until I get her an eMTB she’s been riding my Vado. It’s an XL! I have a shorter post and a comfy saddle and just switch the posts out when she wants to go. Actually, last...

Personally, I would get a new motor under warranty, buy new brakes, and eat the cost. To me it wouldn’t be worth the hassle and stress. If you bought a Levo it shouldn’t hurt much. I have a Vado and really wanted a Levo. However, if you spend a little time reading up, especially in the “other”...
