    Is it possible to mount rear rack on 2024 Domane+ SLR7

    I looked into this for my Giant Defy carbon road bike and from the information I came across it looks like mounting a rack to the fender mounts is not recommended. The only decent option I've come across is the Tailfin rack, which attached to a modified thru axle.

    CF Racer1 Road Delivered Today

    Is the front wheel a 12x100 thru axle? I was thinking of ordering one of these sometime in the future, but looking at your bike has got me thinking about reaching for my credit card. :p I have an inexpensive Giant Escape that I'm in the (slow) process of turning it into a kinda Frankenstein...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    I really like this product, but one of the major drawbacks for me would be finding a shop that could do the repairs, if needed. A derailleur has drawbacks, but at least any bike shops can repair or replace derailleur parts. How many bike shops will be able to repair a Pinion gearbox? An...

    SKS Speedrockers - A German Example of Ingenuity for Fenders/Mudguards

    I've run a pair of these on my carbon road bike, which doesn't have any fender attachment points. I found that they fit okay and do a good job of keeping the bike and rider relatively dry/clean, but they do need tweaking on a regular basis to keep the rubbing to a minimum. Not the best fenders...

    Ebike rack

    Very good price, and the great thing about Costco is it's easy to return if you don't like it. If I didn't already have a heavy-duty ebike rack I'd order one of these.

    So what's the guess on the new Lectric ONE product coming March 12?

    I'd forgotten this bike comes with a throttle.

    Saddle pressure, numbness, and maintaining sexual health at 59

    The type of saddle you purchase can depend greatly on what type of bike you ride. Example: I have a "skinny" Fabric (name of company) saddle on my light drop-bar road bike, which I find very comfortable, even on 70+ km rides. Since I like the saddle so much I decided one day to install it on my...

    Zen Photon review

    @ProSa, what do you think of the display? My wife hates hers' She says it's very hard to read on a sunny day. Zen does have a better display in the works and she'll definitely buy one to replace the one she has.

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    28 (and a bit) pounds for the road bike version, with pedals, is very light, considering the price.

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    One problem, especially with cheaper carbon framed ebikes, is that the bottom bracket hole is not a perfect, but is slightly oval. This can lead to bottom bracket creak over time. This even occurs on very expensive carbon frames, especially those with press-fit bottom brackets.
