No complaints from me about JW durability. Mine have about 9000 miles on them. Maybe 4 flats(+1 valve core failure), over that span with one of those a screw clear through one of the knobbies.

Amazing consistency Rab!

Get yourself a Nyon if your bike is a System 2 Bosch and not Smart System. You can customize the assist to minimize the taper. But - you will always have a min 1mph taper down to your max speed cutoff because the riding experience would be extremely unpleasant to have the motor abruptly cut...

Yes, but if you had the worlds fastest socks you would only need to put out 390 watts! https://sockeloen.com/products/sockeloen-fastest-sock-on-the-planet-custom-aero-socks

Looks like 2 of the 9 sizes are currently 'sold out' on Schwalbe's site - the other 7 sizes are available to purchase. That seems pretty normal, at any given time they seem to be out of stock of a couple sizes/variations of the more popular models. FYI, I believe the 20x4 bronze sidewall is...

Got out on a brisk 50k ride yesterday, keeping the Falcon mostly in Eco with a few stretches of no assist when I remembered to turn it off. Got home 2 minutes before sunset. Guess I might need a decent light if I want to keep riding the Falcon in the dark season.

Those double yellow lines at the edge of the road( and taking 1/3 of the bike lane) are confusing to me as an American. Also the orange mtb in the middle of the road looks stupid/dangerous unless that line of traffic is completely stopped.

No, the extended warranty was a big visible component of the promotion and is still listed online. The exclusions look like the standard wear and tear, misuse, modification, accident, etc exclusions. Interesting to note that the warranty is transferrable if taken to a dealer for inspection...

What do you think @Chargeride carries in that backpack of his? It's chock full of zipties and duct tape - at the start of the ride, that is :) True confessions though - his isn't the only Haibike held together with zip ties. My rear fender and rack have been held stable on my bike with zip...

I'm gonna take a wild guess it was https://ebikemotorrepair.com/?v=0374e8de2d70#contact_forn

Closing in on the end of the month and I've been splitting time on my 2 bikes, riding the Falcon(Bulls Desert Falcon EVO S) on sunny day commutes. Trying to get used to it before the weather completely turns for the season. Either my body or the bike is finally adjusted as the neck/back pain...

Is the sky in London always that filled with contrails on clear days?

Dogs were on the menu on my street this week. A coyote tried to take our next door neighbor's little dog for breakfast on Wednesday. She had to beat it off before it dropped the little guy then escaped through our yard.

I'm surprised it's draining that much, but I would guess the Bosch Connect module is pulling from your main battery to keep itself active and phoning home. Do you have any control over the location/ant-theft settings in the Flow app? For comparison, the most drain I've ever seen on my older...

For sure the battery, tires/tubes, and frame are the biggest pieces factoring in the weight. The wider rims are 70g heavier ea according to DT Swiss specs, so not a big difference there. The other factor you left out are the beefier rack/fenders on the SL2. IF you assume the weights listed...

Love the orange, my old Spec RockHopper is almost that same color! The Creo and Stance seem like a good combo, should be up for just about anything except maybe serious downhill or the velodrome.

Thank you ! $4k is the 2022-23 model sale price. I got this 2021 model(same specs different color decals) for $3k and no tax. I just couldn't justify the $6-7k that the bikes I'd been daydreaming about would cost. Not the most practical bike, but it's a pleasure to ride and completely...

Nothing like a new bike to put a smile on your face. I have kind of a weakness for misfit bikes. I adopted this Bulls Desert Falcon EVO from the shop where it had been collecting dust for a couple years. Wow, it's a smooth ride! Still working out the fit and a few bits I want to change out...

About 12.5kg for the Avail and 12kg for the top spec Defy version. I wonder who the drive is from? They use Panasonic on their Momentum brand bikes, but this says it's a different partner. https://www.ebike24.com/blog/ebike-giant-defy-advanced-e-plus-elite

Glad you're back in the saddle Rab!
