R&M don't spell out handlebar width, but if I google the bars they claim are on the Mountain Rohloff it's pretty wide at 780mm. That's a mountain bike width. You could start by cutting down the bars which will also result in you being more upright. To give you some idea, a Turbo Vado has 100mm...

Same.

Not necessarily. If there was a pad material that squealed less at the cost of some performance they wouldn't choose it for the Tour.

Really? In that case you'd have to re-bed your brakes every time you hose down the bike. And to actually remove that material (if you did a bad job of bedding in the first place) people advocate things like sandpaper. I think it's just the brakes gripping and then slipping repeatedly (due to...

Ha, I was also riding in the Seattle area yesterday. Went a long stretch without needing brakes, then had to check up as I crossed a T intersection and at least the horrific squeal got all the drivers to look at me!

I am still happy with the Tero X. It is exactly what I hoped it would be when I bought it. I don't have the skills for hard single track. It is possible to remove the fenders, but the rear fender has an integrated light. To unplug the light from the bike requires opening up the motor. You would...

In hindsight, if I had a Tero X 4.0 instead of a 6.0 I don't think I would have lost any real capability. That's despite the fact that I'm heavy and I live in a hilly area. I never would have drained the battery, and I never would have run out of power. I use TURBO about 1% of the time and TRAIL...

There's a whole thread about it: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/anyone-have-experience-with-sram-eagle-transmission-on-any-specialized-e-bike.53455/ tl;dr It's the next generation MTB derailleur that can shift smoothly under full load.

I think the main think you'll notice is that the bike is very "pointy". It really wants to go where you turn it. It doesn't feel like a long bike unless you're fully stopped and trying to turn around. Compared to having a 29" in back, the 27.5" gives you another 5% in effective gearing, which is...

As far as I know, they never even made white in production. I've never seen one except in the promotional photos on Specialized's webfront.

Go to the bike page, look down along the right edge of the screen until you see "technical specifications". That will pop out a sidebar with lots of details.

Aventon lists it in their specs: 148 Link, 7 Speed. You'll probably have to buy two chains to get that many links.

The first thing I'd check is to make sure that you didn't lose a brake pad during the wheel change. You wouldn't expect the brake bleeding to be affected by removing and replacing the wheel

My Tero X 6.0 has the 90nm motor, so it may not apply to all bikes, but I ride in microtune 10/10 regularly and it's definitely more assist than "off".

If you're talking about Tero 3.0 specifically, they shipped originally as a class 1 (assist up to 20MPH) bike but increased it with a FW update to class 3 (assist up to 28MPH) which would explain particular interest in Tero 3.0 updates. 60-80 miles on a charge is definitely doable if you keep...

Since you're on the extreme end of sizing, and you want "a bike that rides like a bike", I would probably rule out the Soltera.2. Its only real advantage in your requirement list is that it has a throttle (which I think none of the others do) which is very compatible with "don't arrive at work...

It also helps to pedal more. This is why moving the seat back (which sounds backwards) is often recommended for hand numbness. When you're pedaling, the force of your legs is pivoting your weight around your butt, lifting up on the hands. A lot of bike fit guides assume you're pedaling hard the...

Forgot to answer this one in my first reply: It's a lonng bike and it has a very slack headtube, so if you park "nose in" to a rack meant to hold the front wheel, your frame will be quite far from anything lockable. The tire width isn't an issue -- 2.35" isn't really that wide (MTB are mostly...

I really wanted the white one but I didn't want to wait. So now I feel a bit relieved every time I see they still aren't making it. I can't say if it's "overly stiff". The suspension isn't squishy at all, though. I would say hand and wrist comfort has been the toughest thing to get sorted on...

There isn't going to be any one setting like that. Going uphill you'd want power to cancel out the weight. Going flat you'd need a lot less power (and mainly only when you start from a stop). Going downhill the weight is an advantage. I think your main choices are: Go into microtune mode and...
