Riding all day Sunday. Took these. While in the flats I used my legs. For climbing I used the assist feature. I was able to top off the battery at local stores. Thank you.

Hi Doug, No one buys them. I should say no one will pay that much for the tech? I think the ceiling on these commuter bikes is $2500? Have a look at the 2019 offerings. Manufacturers have largely ditched the exposed battery mid-drive and resorted to hub drive with cassette. I have a buddy that...

I agree! A combined 300lbs of rider and stuffed work/gym accouterments and, occasionally the charger. Tt's been the best Cannondale I've ever owned. They nailed it with this one. Spot on, except for the price. People don't appreciate what they are getting. It really is the top of the heap. You...

Mine has no major mechanical issues. Minor ones are: 1) Eats chains, 3 chains in 550 miles. 2) No Lock nuts!!!! The bolts rattle loose. My bad for not taking it in for a tuneup. You can judge for yourself when it's time. When it sounds like about to rattle apart, time to check your screws...

Hey, thanks for input fellow riders! Tanforan? KMC? Thabks! I didn't think there's that much difference? May I inquire as to what bike you ride? That's a lot of miles!

Finding out just how hard the mid-drive is on bike components. 525miles, 900km and already on my 3rd Zhiqui Chain Company Huang-juo in Shen Jen. Not to be confused with Shiqui chain of Xia'n in Luanjo. Lost count of how many sets of pads I've been through. I feel indebted to this forum as it's...

525miles,

Good morning. That's correct. Universal Cyclery pointed that out. I usually don't trust many bike mechanics. I've seen some crazy stuff. Shmitty is a teacher. He led me to conclude I'd only need one adapter. Therefore???? I know, I put a 180mm on the rear with new composite pads -I put tennis...

Mine now just sits. My MTB I still ride but the Trek stripped of pannier and pedal, sits

Yes, I attached below photos of the completed conversion. I went from the quoted 180 front 160 rear to 203 front 180 rear and I replace the pads with the semi-metallic organic hybrid composite pads. I also since I had it on the lift thoroughly clean the chain and inspected it and cut my...

Hi Dimitri, Just finished the conversion from F180/160mm rotors to F203/R180mm. I want to thank you all for the recommendations. Braking power is significantly enhanced. Since it's my commuter ride I kept it simple. Stayed SHIMANO no hassles. Some photos.

Based on these photos could someone recommend an adapter disk? I have standard swore 6bolt brake disk patterns on the hub

Thank you so much. Universal Cyclery will get back to me. Looks like by this fall I'll be sporting bigger disks. Lord knows I need them. I'm traversing both up and down the hill. up to save battery down to save my butt! I converted to tubeless as a flat means missing dinner or being late for the...

Awesome! You don't kid around! Forget about 165-200. Let's just go straight to 203!!!!! Thanks for the info!! What about something to mount the 203cm disc? That's almost double the size I have, that I need!

Yes, the adapter. Purchase accordingly. Who would have this info? Trial and error?

Can anyone suggest pads for a heavier rider with long steep descents? Are Disc Calipers easy to upgrade? Background: Deore hydraulic 160mm front discs. Bike and rider= 300lbs I commute across the SF Peninsula 14miles from Pacifica to South City. Steep descents reaching 40-50+mph. Currently...

A few shots of my new Medium Frame Contro-E

The rigid has the hub drive. Other than that there isn't much difference.

Beautiful, California

Pacifica, Coast!
