    Placement of cadence sensor?

    I have a 2019 Rad Rover. I am about to replace the bottom bracket and I can't remember if the mounting ring of the cadence sensor goes in between frame and the bottom bracket or outside the bottom bracket? As large as the mounting ring is, seems like between the frame and the BB.

    Correct spoke tension, 2019 Rad Rover rear wheel?

    Anyone know what the tension should be? I have a Park Tool TM-1. Getting readings from 25-35. I believe these are 12 gauge/2.54mm aluminum spokes, correct?

    Giant GLI270CA charger output?

    Thank you so much. That confirms the problem is the charger, IMO. It does go through that self-test sequence of lights and then steady red. But no output.

    Giant GLI270CA charger output?

    BTW, I am seeing a charger listed in posts as a GLI270C (not CA). If you have one of those, you might test the output on that one, too. Not sure of the differences.

    Giant GLI270CA charger output?

    I am living down in Mexico for a few months and have a friend who brought her brand new Liv Embolden+2 down. Suddenly her bike is not charging. Her charger, listed in the title, is a Giant charger employing the 5 pin D plug. This is a smart charger for a 36v system that puts out 41v supposedly...

    Panniers for the radrover 2019

    Are you sure about that REI lifetime warranty? I would double-check that. I have been a member since the 70s. About two years ago, I took back a Thermarest pad that had failed; knowing about the lifetime warranty on all their products. No receipt after all that time, of course, but they did...

    Radcity broke for 4 weeks.

    So, the 2020 Rad Five and beyond are unable to override the 20 mph limit?

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    I am leery of the contentions that converting tube rims to tubeless with fat-bike widths is asking for trouble. I am going to live with the combination of tire liners and Slime (for as long as I have these monsters) because I love these tires so much. As well I should love them, for what I paid...

    After the addition of another battery and mount, what will be your weight? Pushing 90lbs.?

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    Yeah, I agree. I felt very fortunate when I got home and put the bike to bed for the evening, without any sign of something wrong. Then, I woke up to a complete flat in the morning. I figured it must be a really slow leak. So, I re-inflated and it was completely flat within an hour. I was...

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    I have basically the same setup, with the exception of using Slime instead of Stans sealant. "Jumping" cholla still an issue.

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    It's the 26 inch version. I have the FBF and FBR tires. 4.8". What do you mean by "DH oriented tire"? Heavy? Yes, I suppose so, not being very familiar with MTB tires. Everything about this bike is heavy. But these tires are so superior to the original, stock Kendas. I am not a hard core...

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    I am riding on Maxxis Minions that are tubeless ready. 4.8 " wide. 😳 I have tubes and liners inside. But cholla spines still get through, even with Slime.

    Can 2019 Rad Rover rims be converted to tubeless?

    Not very familiar with the process of conversion, but there is plenty of info online. Are the stock Rad Rover rims capable of the conversion? My tires are tubeless ready.

    where can i find radrover bottom brackett specs ?

    I finally bit the bullet and decided to call Rad on the phone. After 45 minutes on hold (with numerous encouragements to use email instead, LOL!), I got through to a rep. He says the bottom bracket is 100mm x 150.5mm. I asked him what manufacturer made my bottom bracket and he said it could be...

    Day six of my inquiry and still nothing from Rad, except the two robo responses acknowledging receipt of my question.

    where can i find radrover bottom brackett specs ?

    As mentioned in the original reply, Rad is not that prompt with replies, right now. What's the harm in inquiring on a message board dedicated to Rad bikes?

    where can i find radrover bottom brackett specs ?

    Is the bottom bracket the parts that pass through the frame with the crank arms attached to it? If so, mine needs replacing ASAP, too. I sent Rad a note about my problem two days ago, and so far the only response has been TWO robo-responses saying they are backlogged, due to Covid-19. All I...

    Chain Replacement

    I have determined that my chain is not out of tolerances, using the 12 inch ruler method. I misread the ruler in poor light. I have determined that the loud, metallic clicking noise I am experiencing when putting substantial pressure on the pedals is definitely coming from the area where the...

    Chain Replacement

    Over 1/16" over the total length of the chain. More than the acceptable level of stretch, according to Park Tool. Who, I dont believe, are in the business of selling chains. A 68 lb bike with a 200 lb guy, putting his all into the pedals at Pedal Assist 5, going up steep rocky slopes (and still...
