    I could smell my Vado motor about to fail

    Here is a more detailed Belt replacement video (sorry stefan ,no version info so probably best for you just to pay another $1300 since this would be beyond your skill level) I have 3 brose based bikes (2018 Bulls hardtail MTB (~4k miles, Brose T)), Izip Moda E3 Class 3(~4k miles, Brose TS) and...

    Help finding a mid-drive, torque ebike with a throttle and natural pedal assist?

    I find it funny that you call people on these forums hypocrites. You are by far the biggest hypocrite on these forums which I have easily demonstrated multiple times. You are simply projecting. Please puke and leave these forums...or at least anything where you are not the OP

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    I have found a Z1 locally in a size medium for a good price used. Im 6ft with a 32inch inseam. I know typical sizing based on seat tube is kind of old school. That being said, a typical 19" bike works for me with more old school geometry. Bike framesets which are different from this usually...

    Tire pressure question

    At 240# I use the following pressures, about 70% offroad 2.8 - 20psi 2.6 - 25psi 2.4 - 30psi 2.1 - 35psi This is rear tire pressure, I typically run about 3psi less in the front. This is what I pump my tires up to. I ride them till they feel low (about 5 psi lower) then pump them up again...

    Nasty decals

    A heat gun or hair dryer followed by wd-40 has worked on everything I have ever tried it on (bike frames, bike parts, tools). The heat gun doesnt really do anyting other than soften the adhesive to allow easier removal of the decal. Adhesive almost always remains which is removed with wd-40...

    I could smell my Vado motor about to fail

    Have you actually ever actually built a bike? Last I recall, you were not even capable of changing a tire without assistance from your brother. What exactly in your mind constitutes as 'building a bike'.? I consider building a bike anything starting with a frameset. What is your definition?

    You can also use a standard electric heater without a fan (several discharge levels available) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pelonis-1500W-Electric-Quartz-Radiant-Heater-with-3-Heat-Settings-PSH20Q3ABB-Black/344308112?from=/search

    I could smell my Vado motor about to fail

    To provide some history The 'smoking vado thread' was created as sort of a counter-culture way of poking fun at a specific poster who sh*ts on anything not euro based or specialized. The fact that it irritates him endlessly (as can seen from his response here) is icing on the cake

    Just found a cracked rim on my allant 8

    Unfortunately, the presence of eyelets isnt the ultimate deciding factor in rim quality/strength, rim design just isnt that simple There are many high quality strong rims without eyelets (i.e. Velocity USA Blunt35) https://www.cyclingabout.com/the-best-rims-for-bicycle-touring/

    My DIY builds: GMAC, BBSHD, 9C RH212, CYC Photon, ToSeven DM01, Grin All Axle

    RH212 update Got the new V5 torquearm today and installation was easy peasy. The old torquearm just wasnt the best on this bike (hoseclamps were not elegant for the dropouts so I carried a spare set and I needed to carry two 11 mm wrenches to get the torquearm off). The new torquearm needs an...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    FWIW, this was in the broomfield tech center, on the path/sidewalk that parallels 128. It was on a fun downhill section (I slowed down alot for him). I have encountered him before (the 20ft + leash stick in my mind), most likely faster. I have had several heated encounters in this area...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    Yes, I definately learned something....just best to keep on going and dont react to someone yelling profanities at you. I tried to be peaceful and logical and and leave with good karma and he wouldnt have any of it. First he threatened to call the police to which I said, "do it" which he told...

    My DIY builds: GMAC, BBSHD, 9C RH212, CYC Photon, ToSeven DM01, Grin All Axle

    Thanks for sharing the history 👍 RH212 update I decided to install a Erider Torque sensor BB and must say that it completely transformed the bike which totally surprised me. Sure I prefer the feel of torque sensors but the BBSHD cadence sensing feels pretty good (my favorite DIY ebike to...

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    North of Denver up to Boulder: 8/10 I live north of you in Louisville. Im amazed at what I can ride from my house, everything from the 36 bikeway to all sorts of gravel rides. Dedicated legal eMTB rides do require travel though. (Boulder OSMP is quirky and this is in quite the influx at the...

    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    I think one think to state which certain individuals seem incapable of expressing without insulting everyone (like I am one to talk :D )is that the lower power bikes like the specialized SL models are great if you want to just ride with stronger non-ebike riders. I never understood why someone...
