    Looking for a cadence sensor commuting bike-where did they all go?

    That was to make you guys understand why some bikes cost $1,300 but other can be five grands. I thought who like who but Americans would understand the price difference :)

    You as a road racer are an elitist per se :D

    I'm all on Charge's service, only he doesn't need my help :) My Vado SL has 11,490 miles (18,486 km) and 4 years, no single warranty repair required. My MY 2017 Vado (Gen 1) had two warranty interventions since 1st November 2019: Free upgrade to 2020 electronics (including deadly expensive...

    Hello everybody

    Alright Paweł! I can see you are a demanding, experienced and self aware person. Good luck! I cannot wait to see the outcome of your work! P.S. XTR Di2 is max 11-speed and the cassette granny gear is not 52T... Are you sure you really want it?

    Hello everybody

    Witaj Paweł! I'm not sure why you would like to modify that gorgeous and competent e-MTB that is already very clean? Yes, you could install the electronic drivetrain and dropper seat-post but what with the hydraulic brake lines and e-bike cables? Wouldn't your modifications affect the warranty...

    Como Turbo 3.0 wheel cracks after 4 yrs, 6500 kilometers

    @CrimsonKing your 225 lb weight plus the weight of Como and any cargo you might have carried certainly exceeded the 300 lb weight limit. I have been in a similar situation with my heavy Vado. The 28 spoke wheels are not strong enough. Add to it the enormous torque from the motor and you are at...

    If you ever bought the Gibson self tuning guitar you would deserve that moniker for sure 😊

    You didn't answer the Gibson self tuning guitar question but instead went personal. Did the Clik valve make you a better cyclist?

    Looking for a cadence sensor commuting bike-where did they all go?

    No electronic drivetrain. No TPU inner tubes. No tubeless. No Pinion MGU. No Clik valves. No Varia. Only proven things that work. Millions had no leg surgeries. Millions didn't ride eleven thousand kilometres a year 😉 And no, I can't play guitar anymore 😃 What about the Gibson self tuning...

    Looking for a cadence sensor commuting bike-where did they all go?

    You can certainly handle a guitar pick but can't handle such a simple thing as a Presta valve that millions have no issue with 😊 To reverse the situation: how do you feel about the lamers who needed Gibson self tuning guitars?

    I am an elitist. Who told you being an elitist was bad? 😃

    Dave, you are a lovely person but a lamer in some aspects 😊 I give you are an excellent guitarist 👌 Cannot help you are helpless about Presta. No one can be good at everything 😃

    Looking for a cadence sensor commuting bike-where did they all go?

    These are my life choices. I own no car. Live in a social flat. Yet my choice is to ride good e-bikes. I could have lost my left leg because of my illness. Still have it after 7 years post the last surgery. I was to Moscow three years post the collapse of the Communism. Felt a rich man there.
