Like @PCeBiker posted, I'd try soccer shin guards. Even brand name ones like Adidas or Nike don't run more than about $20-25 for a pair, and there's options for either just straps around the calf, or ones that also have stirrups. If you're getting impacts that regularly, I don't know how much...

I've been wearing Freerider Pros for a few years, but since putting CrankBrothers Stamp1s on my new bike, I hate those shoes. :) (the one-piece nylon pedals with molded 'cleats' were craptacular) The Stamp1 cleats are so aggressive that I feel the individual pressure points through the soles...

Could crank length make a difference? I noticed that my legs were getting fatigued more quickly, as my Cube EXC came with 175mm cranks. All the self-help "crank length guides" were recommending between 155 and 160mm cranks. After sizing down to 160mm pedaling on flat pavement/trail for long...

Nope. Throttles aren't really an option on the "big name" mid-drives, big name being Yamaha, Shimano, Bosch, and Brose. Bafang mid-drive bikes often do (Bafang being the major Chinese e-bike motor maker), as do many, but not all, DIY kits. For the most part, mid-drives make your legs feel like...

No experience with the Crosscore, but I've seen the review, and it looked like a solid bike at the regular price. With that cashback deal, I'd say it's a no-brainer. If you don't need a throttle, then I'd say look no further. :)

I find Schwalbe Smart Sams are pretty quiet, an Not sure if it'll work with tubeless, but I've used this hack on a tubed tire and it works

On my older Bafang hub bike (2019), to enter the advanced settings, it required a passcode, and the default passcode was based on the display model. I would GUESS that things are still the same, so if you can figure out which model display you have, that might point you in the right direction.

Aero-Fur 3000.

I second the Lezyne recco from @Aushiker This one has served me well... https://ride.lezyne.com/products/steel-floor-drive It threads onto the valve, as opposed clamping, but the threading is butter-smooth, and easy to go between Schrader and Presta.

Hehe... I left out a pertinent part... it was the Reaction Hybrid (trapeze frame), not the Kathmandu. I know it's more MTB, but I was looking for the bigger tires, and a more planted stance overall.

I was looking at the Aventon Ramblas as a possibility, but I was hesitant given it's their first foray into mid drives. There was (still is) a huge Cube promotion, at least here in Canada, so I went with the EXC 750. Stellar range, especially if you tune the max torque down in Eco mode on the...

If you really want/need a bike with front suspension, as opposed to a suspension stem, I'd lean towards getting a bike with suspension, as adding a fork after the fact will change other ride characteristics. To figure out my new bars, I used a ruler to see where my hands were landing, angle and...

I have 2, though I may be changing the line-up in a couple of weeks. Currently: 20" fat folder (Spark Mini) that I've relegated to commuting to work and larger load grocery getting. Added the OHM Cruise about 5 years ago, which is my day tripper though this past year it's my general go to. I...

Yeah, I don't see any downside to torque sensing, and having it on a mid-drive is, IMHO, really the best way to go (just for the type of riding I primarily do). Pedaling through rough stuff is always going to be more economical on battery usage than blasting the throttle, as well. :) As for...

Years ago https://www.isthisbikestolen.com/ WAS legit, as a site to check if a bike was stolen. I remember it having a direct link to check serial numbers, and I was able to register my Specialized Sirrus Sport with the Toronto police via a link on the page. I guess the domain lapsed, and a...

We have tons of Uber Eats etc delivery bikes in my area. There's a distinct rattle from many of those bikes, like every bolt is a half turn away from popping off. I'd say a complete lack of maintenance plays a big role.

Fitment is a big deal. My bike came with an Ergon ST10 (a good brand), but I'd have discomfort around the 20km mark. It took about 3 rides to really figure it out. In my case I had to tilt it forward more than I normally would. After that, it was smooth sailing. A suspension seatpost might...

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/metrolinx-says-e-bike-batteries-that-dont-meet-standards-wont-be-allowed-on-trains/ar-BB1jUwAm I regularly take the train out of the city, and do day rides back. Luckily, when an inspector rolls around, I'll be in the clear (I double checked), but I think...

The unchanging sliver over the past few years is for electric buses. The more maroon bar (right above the yellow) is for 2/3 wheelers. :)

Maybe a unicorn, but you can get close if you peruse the Biktrix line-up. https://www.biktrix.ca/products/juggernaut-ultra-duo-4-step-thru?variant=42192348676293 Swapping the standard derailleur with an Enviolo CVT hub would be the quietest option, but I'm not sure how they fare over rugged...
