    Bosch owners, do you know this noise?

    So everything looks perfect - chain, chain ring, sprockets, pulley. I cleaned with White Lightning and lubed with GT85 (rather than the Finish Line Dry I have been using). I also removed the chain guide next to the jockey pulley. This is the result: Which is pretty much the same. I have found...

    How Safe Is Your Local Bike Path?

    I rode 30 miles on a rail trail today. There were plenty of people out, but it wasn’t crowded. Some had masks or facecoverings but not nearly all. I didn’t feel any threat and didn’t get the feeling anyone else did either. Since I rode from Sarasota to Venice there were a LOT of older, retired...

    Bosch owners, do you know this noise?

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I thought maybe something was loose inside the case and someone would recognize it, but maybe it actually is chain noise from the additional sprocket and guide. It is really hard to narrow down where the sound originates, even with my ear right next to it on the...

    Bosch owners, do you know this noise?

    Rich thanks for the reply. I did find that first thread but there didn’t seem to be a resolution. Yours sounds like that? I did clean and lube the chain, and just before I took that video. Maybe I need a wetter lube than Finish Line Dry...

    Bosch owners, do you know this noise?

    It’s difficult to identify. Sounds like chain noise but at this point I don’t think it is.

    Bosch owners, do you know this noise?

    This is from my 2019 Haibike FullSeven. I didn't notice it when I first got it about 6 weeks ago, but one day I heard it and I believe it is louder now. At first I thought it might be the small pulley or the chain guide, but I put it on the bike stand and it sounds like it's coming from the...

    New Vado 4 owner

    Thanks JD, I like that color on your Vado. Mine is black and I think the grey is much nicer. Close, that’s Redington Shores and Redington Towers in the background.

    Xtra Specialized Battery

    Sounds like you’re asking about a dual battery setup? If so, it isn’t supported from Specialized. Equivalent Giant and Trek bikes, yes.

    New Vado 4 owner

    Welcome JD and congrats, the Vado is a fantastic bike. I also ride a Vado in the Tampa Bay area (though I no longer live in St Pete). Perhaps you will know this location by the distinctive condo buildings in the distance: (On my other bike)...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    About 16 miles on the beach yesterday, with a steady 21mph headwind on the way back. Turbo at 13mph...

    Haibike Sdurro FullSeven LT 9.0 in the house...

    Yeah the fender is small but does exactly what I need it to - protects the top of the forks, the bars, shifter, brake levers, display etc. Most importantly though it keeps water and mud out of my face and off the top of my body. And no stripe! I also have a solution for that, which worked well...

    Haibike Sdurro FullSeven LT 9.0 in the house...

    Thanks! And true that. I can never stop. I bought a set of 2.8" Maxxis Rekons in case 3" was too wide :rolleyes:

    Haibike Sdurro FullSeven LT 9.0 in the house...

    Thanks for the comments. For me there are no cons so far, but that's because I don't need to ride the Haibike on the street much, if ever. This is my first Plus bike, and now I know I would never get a Plus bike for an all around bike, I'd pick something I could put maybe 2.2" tires on. It is...

    How much did you ride this week?

    Are you riding more than usual? I don't know my miles, but my Fitbit tells me I pedaled for 7 hours and 10 minutes. That's both street and trail. What were your miles or hours in the past 7 days?

    What Do You Do During The Lockdown?

    Thanks, and that's cool! That's a women's saddle and surprisingly comfortable. I saw a MTB saddle shootout where the guys were rating it as the most comfortable so I tried it. Glad I did. I've had a LOT of saddle issues...
