    Derailleur Upgrade

    @Johny Rocket I'm sorry. I should have probably started a new thread but I searched the forums and my original question related to derailleurs and so I posted here to avoid a new thread. Then, I thought I would just continue with the gearing issue, but I didn't mean to break the rules or...

    Hands going numb during a trail ride

    Hey guys, thank you all for your responses. I forgot to mention I was not wearing any gloves so that might help some. I think it was my first 3 fingers starting with the index finger. Now that you ask though, it's hard to remember which part. I want to say it was the whole finger because I...

    Hands going numb during a trail ride

    Hi Guys, As many of you know - I am new to biking still. I went to the trail today and noticed my left hand fingers go numb even with bar ends (I use the Ergon GP3). My wrist dont hurt and Ive tilted the handlebar grips a little downward to get some ergonomics. But I still have 3 or 4 of my...

    Derailleur Upgrade

    Hi guys, I hope it's okay to continue this thread (let me know if I should make a new one but this is kind of a related question). So I was out just now and im digging the motor and speed a lot. I have a few adjustments to make with stem height, etc, but the thing i wanted to ask you guys is on...

    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    100% --> and if not someone is going to ask about it to a lawyer friend or post on a forum. Specialized probably has a lot of leeway with what they can do and void on warranties, but you make a great point that you guys can still probably go to a specialized authorized retailer or technician...

    Upgrading hydraulic brakes - dIY

    Hey guys, thank you both for your advice! They are hydraulics already but 180 rotors. I never thought of the modulation aspect before. I'm going to have to test the ones I have now and see how they do. Right now I'm doing anything close to downhill single tracks lol. Someday I'd like to...

    Upgrading hydraulic brakes - dIY

    I've got an allant+ 7s, but not sure what connector it uses. I can say it's a bosch performance speed motor. I think it's a 3rd generation. That's all I know though. I'm not sure why I thought upgrading the brakes was important - I've just been reading a lot of MTB material, although the...

    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    That makes sense. Sorry, I missed the mark on that - I forgot how unique and proprietary bike parts are these days.. Thanks for explaining that @Stefan Mikes and @kahn

    Derailleur Upgrade

    Yeah, sorry about that! I didn't want to make a new thread since it seemed so similar to this one. I'm learning still 😛,and I think if I made a new thread for each question I had, that you guys would all truly "head (run) for the hills" 😄

    Upgrading hydraulic brakes - dIY

    Thanks for your help @RunForTheHills! I think you answered everything i needed to know. So metallic might be even noisier it seems. I think my plan for now is to just use what I have. I was thinking with winter coming up, that maybe I should upgrade but I don't think that's the case anymore...

    Derailleur Upgrade

    Just curious what determines if a groupset / full drivetrain upgrade will be worth it on a particular bike? I have the allant +7s, would I see any benefit by changing our the entire drivetrain?

    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    This is the part that I don't like... even though it's a different brand they could still do something for the old customers that already used Mike's. The new company could've carried over the warranties or offered equivalent ones through them (obviously they aren't the same manufacturer but...

    Upgrading hydraulic brakes - dIY

    Hi everyone! So my brakes in the back were squealing really bad (I used car brake cleaner and about to go see if that did the trick or not)... Anyway, it had me thinking of upgrading my disc brakes but I was unsure of several things and wanted to see the communities thoughts. 1. Obviously a...

    Ebike Chain Lubes

    So, waxed-based chain lube is good to use right after cleaning the chain? Is it like a protector and you still use regular dry lube before you ride, or is it in place of your regular lube?

    Anyone been "busted" riding a Class 3 bike?

    Is this true?! I thought bike shops had to sale ebikes that were street legal? Now I'll need to go see what my state says about ebikes. I wish they would just make all class 1 and 3 legal, nationally.

    Kiox Upgrade

    Thanks for the info @fooferdoggie . Looks Like i'll have to stick with the SPH for now. IT's not a bad unit, I just prefer having my phone up and the basic display is a little bare bones. Thanks again.

    Switching to the Allant + 7S

    I love those tires! That's what I need for this winter. The traction on those almost look like they are studded, so I bet they grip really well. What kind of tires are they? Also, I love what you did with the fender in the front - moving it upwards. I haven't used mine enough to notice how they...

    Kiox Upgrade

    Hi Guys, sorry to repost, but I think I'm going to jump on a kit i found online and try to install it (kiox). Does anyone know if the mount will work with an adjustable stem? Also, I'm trying to figure out how to get the wires out of the SFH, I looked in the manual and it says there's a...
