    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    It actually acts very much like a Bosch bike, but on steroids. It has torque, cadence and speed sensors. The PAS level pretty much controls your rate of acceleration and top speed with maximum exertion from the rider. I provides less in all levels if you don't pedal as hard. Up to hitting...

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    The saddle that is on there now, the black H2 is the one that will stay on that bike. I took the brown one (also selle anatomica) off of my no e gravel bike to use on this till the black selle arrived. I don't even want to talk about that upper bottle cage braze-on boss. But since you...

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    I wanted a tire with lower rolling resistance and better on trails. The bike came stock with 26 x 2.8 and this was one of the few available in that size. Getting the rims seated tubeless was the only difficult part. I went tubeless on my Topstone Neo Carbon 3. In almost 4,000 miles no flats...

    Evelo Omega - 200 Mile Review

    My new Omega was delivered on June 22. It arrived in good condition with a minor paint scratch on the front wheel, something easily fixed with some matt black Testors model paint. It was an easy assembly, just mounting the handlebar, with stem attached, to the steering tube and installing the...

    Recommendations for ebike (lbs options... Trek, Giant)

    Well posed question with information about where and how you plan to ride and two good choices already investigated. I would say that it is hard to go wrong with Trek. Good company, lots of stores everywhere. Well designed bikes. Giant make some nice bikes too but It is hard to do better on...

    Too Many Posters Asking Others To Do Web Searches For Them

    Hard to believe how many folks never notice or recognize the magnifying glass at the top of a web page as a way to search for information already on site. At the very least noobies could be introduced to the search function. Then they could be encouraged to search the forum first rather...

    26x4 Tannus Flat

    Tubolito does not make fat tire tubes that I know of. 2.5" is as wide as they make.

    Too Many Posters Asking Others To Do Web Searches For Them

    It seems to me that far too many of the posters on this forum don't even bother to do a web search for the information or parts they need. Rather, they just do a quick post here basically asking others to do their searching for them. A request for advice about what works and what doesn't...

    26x4 Tannus Flat

    All Tannus armour does as a matter absolute certainty is dramatically increase your rotational mass, slow you down and use more battery on ebikes. With the compression of the material they do almost nothing to reduce flats on wider tires. I have two sets of Tannus Armour gathering dust in my...

    Supercharger 2 rohloff with a coho xc trailer combination

    What you need is the Burley Hub skewer, which comes in a variety of lengths. You will have to pull the skewer from the rear of your bike and measure it to get the correct length. You need to check with your dealer to make sure that the Rohloff Hub is compatible with a trailer attached to a...

    Earbuds and wind noise

    I knew you mentioned the cat ears. I was just offering real user experience. Aside from those, I know of nothing the does not either intrude into your ear canal (sound muting ear buds) or thoroughly cover them (really dorky and goofy looking). I guess I care less about my...

    Creo at 1000 miles

    I am happy for you, Dave. You seem to have found the perfect match for your experience, fitness level and taste. The Creo is one of the best ebikes made and with so many options and configurations.

    Earbuds and wind noise

    The use of the word "block" was a poor choice on my part. Reduce is a more accurate choice. There is no question the anything that is designed to reduce outside noise whether mechanically or electronically will shorten the distance within which one becomes aware, through sound, that a car or...

    Earbuds and wind noise

    They also block all other noises, including the sound of oncoming cars. I am convinced that anything that reduces your ability to hear what might be coming at you on the road, presents an unacceptable increase in risk and danger. I wish you luck with those foam ear plugs...you may well need it.

    Earbuds and wind noise

    You don't look like a dork with them on your helmet straps, more like a guy with '70s sideburns ;);)

    Earbuds and wind noise

    There is a very effective, low tech solution that helps reduce wind noise called Cat Ears by Air Streamz. It is a fuzzy strip of faux fur that velcros onto the forward down strap of a helmet in front of the ears and dramatically reduces wind noise without covering the ears at all. I have had...
