This is super helpful... but has a few omissions, and a few things don't seem quite right. There are a few things I have to think about more, but... Standard Modes (Linear Assistance) The Assistance factor is fixed for each mode: ECO: 60% TOUR: 140% SPORT: 240% TURBO: 340% To this, we can...

I remember when I was 14 years old and too cheap to buy lighter fluid for my Zippo. My buddy's dad had a rusted drum full of kerosene in the basement. It would work in the Zippo, but I quickly got complaints about the odor. Not very stealth if you're trying to smoke at that age. The...

I hear you on that. I am a little under 6 foot one inch, and I used to be 6 foot two. On the sizing tools, for two of my bikes, I've been almost between sizes, just over the line where I'm clearly a large. The Grizl:ON, in particular, was harrowing, because I know they run large, and there...

Hmm... the sx may have different parameters for adjusting than the cx. I can adjust: Assistance (I think it means the max power listed for each mode, but it's still not quite making sense) Dynamic (the amount of power it delivers when you start pedaling.) Speed (top speed for each mode)...

I may experiment with that. I'm using Turbo as my highest power mode, not Sprint, but I don't think Sprint would make much difference currently because I'm just using Eco, Tour and Sport for fitness ride, but that might be an interesting strategy for longer rides. My estimated range based on...

Funny this thread popped up again-- I just lugged Nightmare's motor for the first time 15 minutes ago. Total bonehead move, was thinking about something else or looking at the display... I was in ninth gear or something, way too high a gear, in Tour, the second level of power assist, on a...

Went back to stock. There's a little gap between Eco and Tour, but I did seem to use roughly 10% less battery power, and my own output was not much greater. I might add a little bump to the top end of Tour, as the gap between Tour and Sprint is a bit larger than I'd like. It's an interesting...

The biggest bummer in my neighborhood was when the local Food4Less shut down. I loved that place! There were people in line from EVERY walk of life. A lot of middle class blue collar, lots of seniors and very young people, I was somewhat in the minority as being white collar middle class, but...

Charge, your photography has improved a lot since I last was checking this thread more regularly-- and it wasn't bad at all back then, either. This looks like the Caspar Friedrich exhibit I saw at the Met in NYC a few months ago. The trees-bleeding-fog thing does seem a bit like North America...

I think I will have to tweak Eco and/or Tour slightly, but maybe when I switch back, I'll feel like, "Why did I even change these?" I think what Canyon is trying to do with this bike is that this motor is sort of meant for: Light bikes that should be as efficient as possible, using as little...

Well, the way I adjusted them -- lowering the pressure/cadence value that would cause Tour + to kick in sooner-- was interesting. This is a good setting for a fitness ride if I'm a little tired and need more kick from the motor, but... I think your starting point is better. ECO, TOUR (not the...

It is some obscure Chinese off-brand called 'Mokfire' that I got on Amazon. I did check Amazon to see if I could find a link for you but they are out of stock, and I can't find them at all online. The coolest thing about it is that it has a built in flashing light in the rear! (Though it is...

And photos, too, when you have a moment!

That is what I thought, it's what makes sense, super helpful to confirm this. When I picked up the bike, they said to me, "If anything needs adjustment, like cable tension, just bring it right back." I found that suspicious. Come on. How about get it right before releasing the bike? Look at...

Ya, but the technique for that is different on this bike. It's not a trigger shifter, it's the weird move-the-brake-lever shifting thing. It's more convenient because I don't have to change hand position at all, but the 'throw' in the shift lever, it requires a big movement, and it is still...

Just hit 37.8 MPH on a familiar downhill stretch with good visibility, leaving myself a large margin for error... Which was a good thing. Brakes are NOT as powerful as the Seeker's, at least not from the drops. Seeker has hit 38.9 on the same hill, but needed the entire hill to reach that...

This is Seeker, Nightmare's big brother. He's making a big fuss over his little sister, and insisting she avoid more dangerous rides, whether due to terrain or neighborhood. "I'll drive to West Hollywood this weekend," he announced. "She's not experienced enough for traffic, and her tires are...

This is Nightmare, a Grizl:ON CF 7. I've been blowing up my own thread with all kinds of observations about getting her dialed in right. She is fast and very smart-- maybe a little too smart for her own good, like a lot of us at her age. Between riding the hoods and the vibration dampening...

The controller may turn out to be a bigger issue than the power delivery levels. I do think the handlebar mini remote is something I have to get-- the simplest one is fine, it doesn't need to have a readout, I just need to be able to find a Bosch dealer who has it in stock, order it next credit...

A few people have weighed them-- somewhere, I can't remember where I was that-- and if the medium comes in just a little over 35 with pedals, it makes sense that the large would be about a pound heavier. I'm not sure how good my scale is, but I'm seeing 36.2 lbs. w/ pedals (and reflectors...
