    First ebike century with my Allant 9.9s

    just a single battery charged at 100%. It’s been a couple years since I’ve ridden a ride like that at a faster pace. I’ve always felt miserable after those rides. What’s really nice about this bike is that I can have that same adventure/experience and still have enough energy to mow the yard...

    First ebike century with my Allant 9.9s

    I'm thoroughly impressed! I still had to add a bit of my own effort but: 104.1 miles - started with 100% finished with 4% (bike motor shut down right as I was arriving back in town) 5 hours, 1 min and 25 seconds, elapsed time according to strava isn't far behind at 5 hours, 1 min and 40...

    Removing and reinstalling front fender on Allant 9.9s

    All good - I posed the same question on a different thread. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/2020-allant-9-9s-grinding-noise-from-motor-or-is-it.33114/post-286340

    Oh boy, here we go, and this is what's next (Bontrager E6 Hard-Case Lite eBike Tire)

    I changed out my tires - the E6's are junk tires anyways. I went with these in a tubeless setup: https://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-OneStar-Snakeskin-Folding-Bicycle/dp/B01M26EOGK?th=1&psc=1 Dropped just under 3 lbs of rotating weight. The bike behaves completely different. Absolutely rails...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    Great feedback! I think I'll leave the rear alone. I'd do this routine too often and it doesn't seem like an easy process. The front though I might get a process down. Seems like something that would be nice to be able to place on and off as I desire.

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    Interesting - so I just posed a question on the root forum for the Trek brand on this site. I'm curious - how easy would it be to re-install the fenders that you took off? I wanted to remove the fenders just for my own curiosity a week or so ago but decided to not bother after seeing how they...

    Removing and reinstalling front fender on Allant 9.9s

    Has anyone removed the front fender of their Allant 9.9s? I'm a person that likes to be able to fidget, fix, make things better, etc... I'm curious how easy it is to re-install. I did remove the piece of plastic that covers the bolts that hold the fender to the wheel, but the bolts are...

    Options for tubeless for allant 9.9s

    First off - I'm not familiar with 27.5 size tires. This bike brings e-bikes as well as disc and the option for tubeless tires. I'd like to replace the bontrager tires eventually once those start wearing but want to start researching. I burn through 700c 19-23 in roughly a year and a half -...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    I have 575 miles so far on my allant and all seems well so far - knock on wood. So if the issue is with the Deore XT microspline hub - couldn't that be switched out to say a DT Swiss microspline hub? Or is it the microspline hub in and of itself an issue no matter what the hub brand?

    Ran my Allant 9.9s through some test rides - trying to determine how battery usage compares to speed and levels of assist

    Had some fun the past few days. Between 5 different days - trying to have days that had similar weather conditions - I took my Allant 9.9s for 5 separate rides. The route I chose is 25 miles with 236 ft of "climbing" (I live in the midwest). Here are the results if you're interested! It's...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    I noticed this same thing - except I noticed if that contact point where the fender fits into that plastic 'holder' is a bit dirty - it will rub and still make noise. I took some teflon bike grease and applied a bit where fender rubs plastic - no more noise :-) So just in case that sound comes...

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    Interesting point GuruUno. In my opinion - maybe brands like Bosch should start sending out notices to their customers when a product has a recall/issue happen. They would notify customers who own the affected product - similar to how the car industry handles recalls. Wishful thinking.

    2020 Allant 9.9S Grinding Noise from motor or is it?

    This is disappointing to hear. Alaskan - how many miles again do you have on your Allant? I haven't been using mine since it's my commuting bike - and well I'm not commuting due to working remote - so each month that goes by it's 1 less month closer to end of warranty that I have to add miles...

    Spacer removal

    I've always liked a more aggressive position. I'm perfectly fine flexibility-wise so far at this point of my life. I do realize that I can't go back - been riding bikes for over a decade - besides when i was a preteen. Can't flip the spacers - the stem is integrated.

    Spacer removal

    When I picked up my bike from the shop for purchase I noticed it had 3 spacers under the stem. Has anyone removed those and cut/lowered their steer tube? I'm thinking about taking it to a shop to have it done but I'm curious as I'm sure cables will need to be shortened (shift and brake for...

    Allant headlight blinking

    I can confirm - mine is solid/steady light in darker areas - tunnels and highly shaded areas and obviously at night - but blinks in direct daylight.

    Allant 9.9s rack bolt

    Makes sense! So I actually tried removing that plastic piece at the bottom/rear of the fender. I couldn't get the thing to come out after I removed the screws. I didn't want to bust a plastic piece so it wasn't worth it to me to potentially break that finishing fender piece. But if it only...

    Allant 9.9s rack bolt

    Here's the pic. I'm thinking of leaving it like this. I'd rather have better coverage from wet roads. I can always add a better rear light that's pointed more towards traffic vs away like it is now :-( I think it's definitely by design though

    Allant 9.9s rack bolt

    Thanks Rob for the update. I actually decided to ditch that interface. I just use the hub without a phone. I like to track where I go and whatnot and I even like to be able to gauge calorie burn and things like that even though I use this bike as a commuter I still like to get a workout. I...
