    eMTB Options For 2024

    Except the Orbea doesn't have a motor. LOL All this whining about motor noise...and I'm nearly deaf from racing 2-stroke motors with no muffler. :cool: I have both Stance and Trance - the former has the sport motor - nearly silent. The latter the pro motor and it buzzes and whines. Something...

    Yes, tires degrade. You KNOW that. 😊

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    "Need" or "want". The bike comes with default assist levels. I've never changed mine. [shrug] This is like saying I don't want to change the oil in my car cuz one time they left the drain plug loose. I have never had an issue with firmware updates, with 6 bikes over three years. Also a shrug...

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Lots of different iterations of android OS - try another device and see if that gets it going. The app isn't really needed for riding. Sure, it has some cool features, but I don't even bother with it anymore, I just ride. [shrug]

    Wow...Husqvarna now in the ebike biz... https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/motorcycles/2022-husqvarna-mountain-cross-7-first-ride-review/ar-AASLvL8?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531 I might have to have one of these. My 2010 Husky TE630. I put about 9K offroad miles on this one.

    Known Issues & Problems with Giant Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yep, never heard of chains falling off, and it never happened on either of our bikes, hundreds of miles. [shrug] Now both are sold - the MTB's do have chain-ring guides.

    Camping, Glamping, Bikamping

    A couple of thought as an class-A motorhome owner over the past 20+ years... 1. Sprinter campers are indeed expensive. And they are still cramped, and way limited in capacity - water, sewer, power, space. 2. Truck campers are great for some offroad travel, but still very cramped. Works out...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    For sure. They come on this forum asking how to un-limit their C1 ebike. Roadies are one thing, but for casual riders and mountain bikers it's simply ludicrous.

    For all but an expert or competition rider, whom don't ride ebikes anyway, a few pounds is easily made up with the assist. Sure the hardcore enthusiasts go for the lightest most agile bikes, but for the vast majority one way or another is insignificant. Suspension and geometry, componentry, hits...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Their website shows zero stock in any sizes - that means there aren't any in the system, at dealers or otherwise. Did someone indicate there would be any to order? Maybe next year? Think about Orbea Rise - some arriving early 2022. Or maybe even what might be coming in at YT Industries. You...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I think they're still way downhill oriented - make sure that's what you really want. There were rumblings here about it being different than years past, but before it was a really spread-out design. Even our 29" StanceE isn't nearly as snappy as my Trance. For my general trail riding I know the...
