This isn't about D v R. The Dems deserved to lose, unfortunately. Trump is 'rumbling' with too many people. The Trump-friendly Supreme Court handed down a 9-0 decision to return a Marylander from an El Salvador jail for some old-fashioned due process. What's the administration waiting for? I'll...

I think ppl here have a lot more to digest than e-bike purchases. Some already understand the irreversible damage wrought by a Liberation Day dog-and-pony show. I'm not saying that Trump is incorrect in noting tariff disparities, but the approach is irresponsible. Two great factors contributing...

Trump hates Maryland. After a long process that awarded the new FBI location to Greenbelt, MD, Trump capriciously rescinded it., The NIH, of all things, is in the crosshairs. This is called 'eating your seed corn,' which people won't figure out until the 'best and the brightest' look elsewhere...

You are definitely not alone.

I had the same thing happen with a Bosch motor out-of-warranty and had to walk the bike back. Swapped in a new (to me, had 2k miles on it) motor and all was well. Not sure why you should assume drivetrain. If you grab the pedals and rotate manually, do you hear unhealthy sounds despite lack of...

Not the vast majority of voters. A vast majority of state electoral votes. It's not one vote/person. The same ten states or so 'decide' US presidential elections. If you live in a state like Maryland, where Kamala Harris's vote share exceeded that of her home state California, you are a mere...

People will buy, but the quest for mass adoption is dead in its tracks, taking infrastructure investment with it. There's no cogent vision to even consider investing in, whether in boutique domestic initiatives vs what I suspect will be the new normal: whack-a-mole shipping diversions to...

I guess I'm lucky. I've never had it happen w/ over 30k miles on Bosch bikes. Is 8k when you clipped the post?

FSA 170mm. Not hard to get at all. It does say "for R&M" as though there's something special, but I doubt it. Check out...

For anyone interested in IDs. Here is a 2019 Nevo Rohloff CX engine cover. The HS omitted the CX and did not substitute with Speed, although other brands had covers with the Speed designation. I cannot vouch for this directly but was told that RM did not want to draw attention to the 28mph, as...

Well, if past patterns are any indication, let's say a $999 Lectric-type bike now sells for $2.2k but a Euro-bike currently at $10k moves to $11.5k.. The former currently enjoys market share, the latter is a bit niche, and probably close to new sales saturation. Just look at this thread...

Not sure how some of these expensive European brands can make it here.

The bike is on ebay. The description describes it both as a CX, then at the end, Performance Line HS. The cover looks like the HS, actually. A little background: RM intentionally did not use the Speed designation at that time. The CX cover said PL CX, and I don't see the CX. The bike was...

OK, the Nevo is the Class I (20mph) not Class III (HS 28mph). I think it's priced a bit high.

Crazy question -- then what are the buses using the front-loading racks for???? One major disappointment is that I'm not permitted to bring a cargo bike on my regional rail. There is tape on the railcar floor marking the bike boundary. I believe the Load60 would fit, but it is verboten. There...

Are you getting any kind of warranty with these bikes? What year is the Homage listed first? I used to own the 2019 Nevo Rohloff. Be aware it has a Gen2 performance line motor and the 65Nm torque cannot be upgraded. As you note, any PowerPack can be used as a second battery. Mine had a front...

Update! I went to look for more detail. She did not run out of battery. She took a wrong turn and flatted. She initially abandoned the bike, but after going around in circles, decided to push the bike and made it to a ranger station. Not likely an ebike -- I wonder if Debra Staples is even...

I don't think you'd get that attitude if you'd suffered a mechanical failure on a non-e bike. Running out of battery makes you look foolish and subjects you to shaming. Responding to @Stefan Mikes

Something I've always worried about: https://denvergazette.com/outtherecolorado/news/woman-stranded-for-30-hours-in-desert-after-e-bike-stops-working-on-remote-trail/article_e493829e-01c3-11f0-bfe5-3b4b05771721.html Not familiar with this park, but the mountain west is tough for ebikes...

Hi, I'm sure you've resolved this by now, but 595 is a cable issue. Since this happened after picking up from the shop, I would first check the connector down by the shifting unit. It is routinely disconnected while working on the rear wheel. If that's not it, the faulty cable is usually found...
