Good quality Presta tubes have valves that are nickel plated brass. Just grease the adapters before installing them and you should be fine.

I watched it on Peacock on my way up to Maine fir a short vacation. Jonas looks good as does Wout. If Tadej doesn't look good, the world stops turning. Girmay gives a clinic every time he sprints. He may not win every time, but how he moves through the front without a MVDP to push everyone else...

It's OK. I'm loving it as it is. Getting the fit right is priority #1. Thanks, and it's stable at any speed over walking speed. Below that, I'm a hazard.

I have thought about it, but I kept it in case I wanted to ride in sweats and didn't have a velcro tie. That hasn't happened, so I guess I probably should.

A classic mistake. I've done it many times myself.

At my last full time job, that I retired from (private sector manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and medical) we got 10 business days off for holidays, 2 personal days, and I had 3 weeks (15 business days) vacation/personal time. For the job before that, I had four weeks vacation. This is not...

At the shop, we have two licensed computers with the Bosch diagnostics, and I've learned how to use them. My lighting port is already set up for high output, as the bike came with a Supernova M99 Pro Mini headlight (1300lm), Supernova horn, and a Supernova tail/brake light. I don't know if that...

Of course. There are no dumb questions, just people dumb enough to not ask them. I also think my Tesoro is pretty awesome. The Bosch System 2 delivers everything it was designed to do. What's missing are more modern features that Bosch (to a degree) and other drive unit manufacturers provide...

That is the kit that I use.

There's no maybe about it, brother.

Herbs, beautiful pictures and a great looking bike. Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry, I got called away for dinner and must have missed the upload.

That sounds like hella fun.

As requested. This is my 2021 Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed, bought as a leftover in May 2025. There are significant modifications. Build thread here.

Today I added a used Cane Creek Eesilk + seatpost that needs rebuilding, a loaner saddle for testing, swapped the stem for a 3T 130mm -17 degree stem, and removed the dead horn which is being replaced under warranty. I would love a lighter bike with more modern technology, but this beast is so...

Today, I had a few hours to ride, but not a lot since family is here for the holiday. I rode out to the Beachcomber, and took the long way around to get back to the rail trail, passing by a road that will be the target of my next excursion to Truro. The trail was busy but not overly so, as it...

Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed. It uses the older Bosch System 2 drive unit which supports multiple large batteries. I bought it on sale for just over $2KUSD with the 625Wh battery. I added a second 500Wh battery later.

If you like the Rize, take a look at the Cannondale Tesoro X1/X2/X3.
