    The DMO1 has those exposure issues. Over 100nm leads to all kinds of drive train problems. Some top MTBs have 250w.

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    Get some Byway 37's to go tubeless at lower pressures. 1mm is half the width of a nickel. Not much difference for the large improvement.

    Lower priced e bike

    Clearly from the photos it is a legit bike. Well almost. In photo 1 the guy is dressed for a time trial. The bike has a kickstand and fenders, a first for a TT bike, that is innovation. He also has clip in shoes and the bike does not have clip pedals, again a fresh take in design. In photo 2...

    Hello From Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

    Yes, the capacity is lower on the SL. For 95%+ of my rides I do not require full capacity on any of my bikes. Court mentioned in that video, 'Why don't they just use an external bottle battery?' It is funny because that has been my preference for years. He also points out the lack of a USB port...

    Hello From Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

    Interesting. He could always bring 'his' bike that is in Canadian Vacation Mode, temporarily, just for his visit. And, then with a change of plans needs he to store it there and fly back fast. His wife then can drive back later at the end of the planned vacation visit. The most beautiful bike...

    Hello From Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

    I would want to think of a way to take something such as a used red Roll down to Montana and to come back with a red low mileage demo Vado from a dealer there. One red bike down, one red bike back. Maybe if you already had business or social plans in that area it could be worth it. The thing is...

    Is it the battery ?

    Try not to charge until you are down to close to the final bar. I think it is time to fully cycle the battery. It has been abused by constant top ups and then sitting on a full charge. If it has a USB port you can use that to safely and slowly take the charge down all the way, then fully charge...

    Hello From Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

    What is the next thing when you buy a good fitting suit? It gets tailored. That is part of ownership. Fit. The pedals for example on Comos and Vados are nylon place holders with a skateboard type grip tape surface. Ah, the grips, kind of okay, but touch points are specific to each individual...

    Hello From Prince Albert, Saskatchewan

    I have oddly long legs and have the Vado XL size with the post almost to the minimum insertion line. It put the saddle well above the grips. Besides upgrading the pedals, one of the first things I did was to install a less flat bar that curves up and sweeps back a bit. I also trimmed it and...

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    I have been out of it here working on bikes everyday but suspect I have a nasty bit of Covid today. The 5.0 SL is so very cool. I just have the 4.0 mid-step, pogo fork as my free demo bike. Specialized under rates its nominal power. Mine flies at 70+ rpm on cadence. Watts is only a measure of...

    Introduction

    When I did not know better, I messed with batteries. Say, No, No, No. And a really great young man Gregory died in my town recently messing with stuff he shouldn't. That said I did awaken a sleeping BMS this week, safely. It is like playing with petrol. Easy to become complacent.

    They contacted me with an overnight email. They gave me three reasonable options including a refund. I will field disable and document that with the photos and the serial number bar or qr. I knew @m@Robertson's perspective going in and respect it. Yet I was willing to get out front on this...

    I had to work on a Jetson 'bike' today. It was pre-billed $40 labor only as a rear tire change on a hub-drive bike. 1) There is no connector between the controller and the motor, so you need to work on the wheel upside down while it dangles by the wire. 2) The caliper sits behind the wheel so...

    The chain guide on a BBS02 build I did a tune on today was the battery. As soon as I saw the motor I checked the chain. Sure enough. It also had loops of wires and a lose motor that crushed the shift housing routed between the motor and downtube.

    And it would be quoting the Police report. A legal document the press could see.

    Intentional Hit & Run

    I really like dayglow orange gloves with reflective finger tips and wrist bands. What is weird is that if he had been riding in all black, with no lights, he wouldn't have been noticed by the attacker. Maybe he was too bright and blinding. My buddy said, 'You never know; maybe the cyclist just...

    Intentional Hit & Run

    The driver will have body damage to the SUV. Where will he take it? The rider's DNA will be on it, or under it, If it is washed off then that is obstruction and evidence tampering. That angry SUV guy is in deep Sh*t. I will bet he is avoiding that same route after work. And, that is where to...

    Intentional Hit & Run

    He did everything right and still got rammed and runover. He had lights, a yellow safety vest, a helmet, and was in a wide bike lane far to the right. Thank God that the second driver prevented a deadly second attack. I hope for well covered trial. You know that the court gallery will be filled...
