Thanks. Yeah, this is the way I’m leaning (no pun intended!). I think I’ll try very small incremental changes to try to get to a happy medium. I’ll first try lowering the handlebars just a little bit below the current height (but still well above the original height) by removing 1-2 spacer...

Interesting, thanks. When the handlebars were raised, I also replaced the stem with a Cane Creek suspension stem that was around the same length as the original stem (80mm, I believe). So, I could try swapping it out for a longer version of the Cane Creek since they come in various lengths...

Thanks. I will definitely keep this advice in mind. But again, so far, my experience has been the opposite: raising the handlebars even by a relatively small amount has noticeably decreased the particular back pain I was experiencing on this bike. In my case, I have chronic sciatic pain on my...

Thanks! I’ll try adjusting the seat angle and will also take another look at the angle of the break levels.

I may consider that at some point, but at least so far, the raised handlebars are accomplishing what I wanted to achieve in terms of significantly reducing lower back pain and discomfort. I’m not yet prepared to give that up. So, I’m looking for a way to keep those benefits while adjusting other...

Thanks for your responses thus far. Any thoughts on what I should try adjusting to compensate?

Hi all, I recently had the handlebars raised on my bike in order to have a somewhat more upright riding position (the bike is a Vintage Electric Cafe, if that matters). That’s working great in and of itself; but I noticed on my first ride with the new handlebar height that my position on the...

Here’s the manual for the PulsarOne: https://wilier.com/sites/default/files/pulsarone_eng.pdf I’ve also attached a screenshot of the page from the manual regarding firmware compatibility. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear that! I just got a PulsarOne as well and it paired instantly with my LeMond Dutch on the first try and has worked flawlessly. My only complaint is that there is a noticeable lag - maybe 1-2 seconds - between changing the assist level on the PulsarOne and when the new assist level...

Because as you’ll see if you look at his post closely, his question is about a completely different bike: “I have also bought 10inch ape hanger bars. Now to install them on my new revi cheetah plus.”

I’m not sure how this thread drifted to another topic (I’m the OP), but jumping back in to note that I wouldn’t be so sure that “most of the time,” the stock cables have enough slack to raise the bars. They definitely do not on the Vintage Electric Cafe (which was the original topic); the bike...

Was this written by ChatGPT or similar? Or copy and pasted from somewhere? If so, it’d be helpful to disclose that. (And if not, my apologies).

I know this is a very old thread; just resurrecting it for one specific point for others’ future reference: I recently got a Brooks B67 for my upright Dutch-style bike. I had been noticing that the bike was creaking/squeaking while riding. I just assumed it was something somewhere on the bike...

I clearly didn’t read my Velosurance/Markel policy closely enough… Does this “locked to something affixed to concrete or stone” proviso apply when the bike is stored in a garage or only when it is outside of a locked structure? I don’t see how it would be possible to lock one’s bike to something...

I bought mine direct from Schwalbe’s website.

Lemond Prolog/Dutch are the lightest I’m aware of, at 27 lbs. https://electricbikereport.com/lemond-prolog-review/ https://theradavist.com/lemond-prolog-ebike-review/ https://lemond.com/products/dutch-grx?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIruXl7ufr_gIVrd_jBx0ZowXuEAAYASAAEgJK__D_BwE I have the Dutch...

I don’t own either one, but I do live in Pittsburgh and ride e-bikes here. I live in a part of the city (the East End) that has lots of gradual long mild slopes but only a few steep hills. Depending on exactly where “outside of Pittsburgh” you are, though, the hills could be *much* more...

This is coming from a relative newbie, so take it for what it’s worth. But: I have the marathon E-Plus tires on one of my bikes now. They replaced the Smart Sam tires that came on the bike. I ride 90% road/10% improved paths through local parks. I liked the Smart Sams; I *love* the Marathon...

Also: depending on many factors (type and frequency of riding, type of tires, storage conditions, etc.), two flats since fall 2022 seems like a bit much, in my (very limited) experience. I therefore wonder whether this might be a causation versus correlation issue. That is, rather than it being...

Timely post, given that I’m about to move my bike to the garage in the next couple days… (It’s not a Vado). I’m trying to understand the physics of what you’re describing. The Vado has a rear kickstand rather than mid-mounted kickstand, yes? Even if so, I’m having trouble picture why a flat...
