Good to see people start talking cornering technique. This video totally transformed my cornering technique on loose surfaces this year and this is after 40+ years cycling (came from a roadie background, turned MTBr in the 90s). Its amazing how much faster I take corners now. If I do start to...

Yes, I have noticed that behavior from you directly both in posts and definately in PMs when you were losing an argument. Are you blind to your own behavior or perhaps just above it all

Google is your friend, perhaps doesnt meet your strict requirements (same day). Could you explain how time of day/temp/pressure/clouds would affect this Even then, its best to ride them and see for yourself. When I first tried a Brose, my search was over

I agree with ruffruff here on the quietness of the Yamaha PW Series. Its second on my list behind the Brose. I find sound clips of motor noise to be useless and nowhere near what I experience in real life. In addition, the noise can be affected by so many things like microphone/gains/software...

I put ALOT of value on a quiet motor. You do get used to the noise but its really nice when you dont hear it. Of all the motors (Brose, Yamaha, Shimano, Bosc) I have tested, Brose is the quietest. As such all of the factory mid-drives I have bought have been Brose. The Specialized Vados are...

I recently added a setup to one of my ebikes like in post#5. Not only does it add weight high, it also adds weight way out on the end. In the case of my BBSHD equipped Surly Ogre with Origin 8 Strongbow bars (which allow me to get aero), the bike gets pretty nasty headshake when doing anything...

Not even close to a ferrari, more like a vette I owned an Opal GT as my first car, best steering feedback of any car I have ever owned.

Your description and ultimate diagnosis dont seem to add up. 1.) You describe a grinding that only occurs when on throttle or PAS. Since its a hub drive which puts no load on the drivetrain (crank/chain/cassette), it most certainly sounds like a motor issue. My neighbor has a core 5 and the...

Your correct in that its hard to find TMM4 info that talks about a candence sensor. That being said, it can be seen clearly in their own pic (the square nub thingy) https://surface604bikes.com/products/2020-torque-sensor Looks identical to the Juiced (look at both pics)...

I just use the incredibell, simple and cheap, I have tried several different types but other people are just too hard to predict. https://mirrycle.com/item/original-incredibell/ There is no simple solution to this as every trail user is unique and there is no magic formula. Nothing works 100%...

While not a Ripcurrent S , I have found a 42t front chainring for all my ebikes capable of 28mph speeds (including Juiced CCX), coupled with a 11-36t 9-speed Shimano HG-400 cassette to be a good compromise of speed and hill climbing ability. I used bikecalc and a cadence of 90rpm at...

A bad side effect of these is measuring the cadence off the rear cog. In doing so, you get variable cadence depending on what gear you use. If one then uses cadence as a basis for determining human power and then uses this to determine assist, you effectively have assist which can vary...

If you really want to see how its done, the TSDZ2 open source code would be a good start. https://github.com/OpenSourceEBike/TSDZ2-Smart-EBike I played with this code awhile back trying several things. Ultimately I abandoned the TSDZ2 due to it being a POS. In a nutshell, this code determines...

I can understand that, not for everybody. Ironically the CA3 is WAY more complicated and has all the same features plus many more yet you praise it.

I have been night riding since 2006 when led lights were just coming out. There was a 5 year period when all my rides were at night due to weird work hours. All this riding was done offroad in challenging conditions. So basically, I am not new to lights and/or night riding. I just recently...

Despite all the eggrider haters, I think it might be the one for you if you want to change the bafang parameters from IOS. Pros: Nice and compact, makes for a clean minimalistic cockpit. Lots of features (trip statistics and IOS/Android App). Main reason(trip statistics) I went with the...

Winter in the SF bay area..whats that 🤣 (I lived/biked there for 10 years). Its more like rainy season/dry season. I recall it raining every single day for two months back in the mid 90s and then not raining for 10 months. Winter/wet rides amongst the redwoods(Big Basin park) was always...

Lots of variables in this. In the old days, 19mm rims were standard and we ran wider tires. I recently ran 2.35 Johhny watts on a 20mm rim and had no issues Correct tire/rim(wider) choice is more critical if you are running tubeless and lower tire pressures. Different tire manufacturers have...
