I also have a Ritchey handle bar on mine (WCS Venturemax) and I'm running the same tires as you. I've also waxed my chain (Silca). I also changed out my stock aluminum wheels for a carbon set (Yoeleo). Even after 4.5 years I'm really happy with my Lefty Love the yellow seat and handlebar tape...

Or a snow version with studded balls. :p

Because he can.

The sh*t show, better known as Watt Wagons, has finally come to and end. Good!

GeraldS1, just curious, how cold is it in Germany during the winter? I live on Vancouver Island, on the west coast of Canada and we're pretty well the only place in Canada that doesn't presently have snow. I'm able to ride all year long, until the temps drop below 2 degrees C. Below that, I...

It was making a hell of a racket on the next to last couple of rides-enough that other riders in my riding group commented on the noise. Interestingly, on the next ride, after washing the bike, the diff didn't make nowhere near as much noise. No idea why.

Both are great ebikes. 👍

I think that eventually every Kindernay hub will leak and that's probably the reason they went out of business-they could solve the leaking problem.

It's been at least six months since my last drain/re-full, but I didn't think the fluid was low because I've only ridden the bike a handful of times since the re-fill and I haven't noticed any leaking. After the first hub leaking problem I check after every ride. Something to think about...

I don't know if it's my imagination or that my Kindernay hub is getting progressively noisier. Here's a video-does the hub sound noisy, or normal? The hub has less than a 1000 miles on it and the oil was recently changed. No oil leak. This is my second hub. The first one was replaced under...

I have a Redshift suspension stem on my Giant Defy and I really like it. I'd love to also add a Redshift suspension seat post, but my bike has a 'D' shaped seat post (thanks Giant), so the Redshift seat post won't fit. :mad:

Is your wife's bike carbon, or aluminum/steel?

I have two WW bikes with the 2300W X1 controller and I also only ride in the eco mode. Every once in the while I'll go up to a power level in sport mode, but for the most part I ride in the lower power ranges. If I had it to do again I would have stayed with the stock Ultra and not ordered the...

The Skarper motor cuts out at 15 mph (per European regs). This would be a deal-breaker for me, even if the price was a lot lower.

I can't believe that WW's website is still up. If I'm not mistaken, WW folded up over a year ago. Note to the founders: the website shows that the Helios is coming. 😂🤣😆

Without seeing the rubbing I'm going to guess it's either the rim is bent or the tire casing has failed, casing it to bulge in one spot.

Did the wheel always rub, or is it a recent problem? If it's recent I wonder if the rim is bent. I also have a Hydra, with a Kindernay hub.

Bad luck-sometimes you get a bad one.

I agree with fooferdoggie-proper gearing is very important when doing steep climbs. Also remember that Bosch motors need to spin to produce peak power. This probably holds true for all mid electric motors.

The only thing I'd add is buy an extra gasket, because sh*t happens. ;)
