    Trek Marlin+ 6 Vs Aventon Ramblas?

    Check out this review. You may be in the upper part of the height/weight of some of the "could improve" part of the Aventon. Possibly an easy fix down the road with a fork swap. edit: I have never ridden an Aventon, and honestly don't know anyone that has one. But the company seems to be...

    Trek Marlin+ 6 Vs Aventon Ramblas?

    On your point of Bafang, Aventon isn't using a Bafang, they teamed with another company to develop the motor. Which makes it a beta version bike. Seeing the range and power of the Aventon though is a tough time passing on if I wasn't going to be doing bombing runs down a singletrack.

    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I am curious, what do you wear for these long rides? Do you wear padding in the butt area for these rides? Any tips on attire for long rides?

    Evelo Omega vs Zen Photon Pro for next E Bike

    Honestly, lean towards the Zen. Many people have bought a bike from them and are happy. Plus they actually are here on the site to answer questions, and actually listen. Ravi is a wealth of info and does care about the ebike community. If/when I get a new ebike, my current choice is the...

    Mamba savanna anyone

    We are like minded cyclists, Just different ebikes. I found a something for the venom. Maybe a start. Also ask away, a lot of these bikes are more similar than you think.

    Looks like a generic ebike you can find rebranded. What is the issue?

    Rental cycle helmets

    Even if you get a rental helmet, you have no idea how many times that helmet was part of a full head to ground fall. Like a motorcycle helmet, you should replace the helmet after a big fall. Only way I would consider a rental helmet is if I was in an area that I had no idea I was going to...

    3.0 long range

    Jump to the 4:56 part on PAS strength settings. It may help even things out. But changing each assist level is not something you can do on the bike. If you unlocked it to go 28 mph, the option would be to reset it back to 20 to see if it changes things.

    New Portola Folding Bike

    I am 5'10" and have the portola. It is comfortable to ride, my issue is coming from a bike with wide handlebars to the Portola and it feels twitchy to me. I am sure if I rode it more that feeling would go away. But it is a spare for the kids so they can ride with me.

    Pedal suggestions for Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH?

    The pins with a pair of Vans skate board shoes are a less aggressive combo. I have five tens and vans. If I am just doing a short (under 10 miles) ride I'll wear the vans.

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    Honestly I retired my Sena M1 mesh for a Specialized Tactic 4 and shokz openrun pro recently. I use the shokz at work also so a win win. Phenomenal battery life on the headset if you are not looking for bass. I do have a second set of samsung ear buds pro for the non ride times and the...

    Another Frey Savannah Ultra - CC owner

    It was a slow progression of the chain starting to skip. When I did the chain ring swap, there were no issues. In the last 2 months I started to notice things. Luckily I haven't been riding as much as I did when I got the bike. The weather has been less than great on weekends this winter...
