    Best Cheap Car Bike Rack?

    Sorry if you took offense Alaskan! I was just trying to be funny. In my mind, calling someone a high ender was about the most benign thing I could think of....but apparently I've overstepped. I love and value the comments and didnt mean to dismiss or belittle!

    Adjusting derailleurs....hard?

    I am a non-mechanical, non-handy person. My emtb has been shifting like crap. When I push hard on the pedals, the crank slips. I need to press the shifter twice to get it to change gears once. I brought my bike in to be adjusted after 60 days...and within 30 days from that, shifting was...

    1 Million mile EV battery

    My BH Atom X weighs 51lbs and the battery is 8lbs. Halving that battery weight would make a big difference when I try to get the bike over my shoulder. And yes, I'm overweight....and trying to exercise. Having a lighter bike will make that easier!

    I Will Never Buy from an LBS Again

    My state happens to be California. In 2015, local and state governments were in $1.3 trillion debt. I know that $200 in sales tax will be sorely missed. Housing costs are astronomical here in California because everyone needs to come here for the jobs, which do NOT provide them a living wage...

    Best Cheap Car Bike Rack?

    I'll be getting rid of my SUV and downgrading to a sedan. I rarely take my emtb anywhere by car, but am looking for a cheap car bike rack that wont scratch up a car, and can handle the weight of an ebike. I'll primarily be keeping a bike rack for the possible instance when I have a failure big...

    I Will Never Buy from an LBS Again

    Hey, I employ a very expensive CPA in my quest for tax avoidance and am proud of every dollar I dont hand to Uncle Donald. I really think it's swimming against the stream to try and use your own dollars to try and prop up an inefficient business model. My business decision is that if I can...

    I Will Never Buy from an LBS Again

    I bought my Giant analog bike from my local bike shop 2 years ago. Service was great and they were always happy to help me. I paid probably $200 more than I would have online, but I had them standing behind me and I helped support a local business. When it came to buying my first ebike...

    Auto-Tuners/De-Limiters - Regret it or Best Decision Ever?

    If you didnt disclose to the LBS, would there be telltale signs (excessive wear, software glitching, etc) to give away that you had the badass box on prior?

    Auto-Tuners/De-Limiters - Regret it or Best Decision Ever?

    20mph. That's what we, Class 1 ebikers are stuck with as far as assisted top speed goes. We've heard the warnings: You'll avoid your warranty You'll burn out your motor Torque at those speeds will be so minimal to be unnoticeable You're possibly breaking the law Your operating your ebike in...

    Anybody Rotate Their Tires?

    Really? Do they expire like milk? Is it within a time frame short enough to be of concern to the rider who will burn thru a tire, front or back, within 2 years?

    Anybody Rotate Their Tires?

    I come from the 29x2" tire days. I was flabbergasted by how grippy a plus tire was. I'm not lacking for anything, but was just curious if i could get even more traction. And I dont knownhow much room I've got....hopefully there's a YouTube video out there that will teach me how to determine.

    Anybody Rotate Their Tires?

    After 6 months of ownership, I'm getting close to 1,500 miles in my first ebike. I looked closely at my tread for the first time the other day and realized that while my front tire still looks almost brand new, my rear tire looks like the nubs are more than 50% worn away. My first thought is...

    Product Review: Kinekt 2.1 Suspension Seatpost

    And you seem like the kind of guy who would never sell his customers the kinekt for $175, no matter how much they spent on an ebike from you. Haha....I kid, I kid. I've heard many reviews of how awesome you are! I'm totally guilty of your charge of being price conscious, of not doing any...

    Product Review: Kinekt 2.1 Suspension Seatpost

    Sorry guys! My research before purchase was to ask the pros "which one is the best suspension seatpost and how much does it cost?" My local bike shop owner said "the kinekt, and I'll sell you one cheap. There's nothing better" he didnt have one in store, but did have this poster: Since...

    Product Review: Kinekt 2.1 Suspension Seatpost

    I was pretty ignorant going in and didn't know what to expect. Maybe of I ride on of for a month or two, I'll pick up on the subtle benefits.

    Product Review: Kinekt 2.1 Suspension Seatpost

    No, that would be great, as long as you don't say it's better. 😜 My hide would really be chapped if a $50 post ends up. Being better than mine. Haha!
