    eMTB Options For 2024

    Anyone hear of or know much about the Fazua motor? I started reading about the system and there was a lot to like and some not so good. The good is that the motor and battery fit into a insert that goes into the downtube and connects to a gear box. The whole battery/motor combo can be removed...

    Those Pliers are only for their Airless Tires. My Tannus order was supposed to arrive today but due to Winter storm that's made it's way in it's been postponed for a day. I watched the installation videos a couple times, happy that @PDoz confirms it's as easy as the videos make it out to be...

    @Browneye This set of rims should work I think. It's a set for a non electric Trance 2 which has rims 30mm inside width vs yours at 35mm. You should be fine with 2.4 or 2.5" wide tires.

    I was thinking this also as I road yesterday and the eMTB rear suspension floated over all the pavement irregularities that I'm usually dodging on my no rear suspension Evelo Aurora despite seat post shock thingy. The difference is jarring, literally. :) Keeping the Evelo Aurora if just for...

    Some mud is usually a given near me pretty much any of the four seasons. I like the bolt on idea mostly because a) I need some kind of protection and b) if I want to ride any decent trails I have to transport bike and finally c) my hitch mounted bike rack grips by front wheel. Constantly...

    Pro bike cover, also covered up truck tail lights

    Back to your cover. I found this with supposed clear panels. It's pathetic. Big red blobs of light.

    Big Pączki Day around here tomorrow. Buffalo NY is known for it's large past immigrant populations of Polish, Germans, Irish and Italians. Their heritage is still alive and well today in many parts of the City, though much has changed. Still have Bakeries doing it up fresh.

    Ordered and dispatched and should be here shortly, getting shipped from Amazon UK, but RRP makes mud guards and have a model for the front that gets bolted to the front fork bridge and eliminates the zip ties. It's designed to be bolted to certain forks, Fox 34 and 36 are in that list. :) My...

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Been itching all Winter to get a decent length ride in with recently acquired BH eMTB that I purchased December 2019. I got 25 mile ride in, mostly paved trails. It's just so blah out this time of year. Everything dull and gray looking. No greenery to speak of. It took the blue of the twin Grand...

    Well, one learns something new every day. At the moment I'm fully vested in Plan A. I have the 27.5+ higher volume tires and like to be able to run at lower psi when I want. Tubeless was a given. Everything you say one needs to bring on rides is spot on. As for Plan B, I just researched the...

    Big Five Ten fan for years. I have the Freerider Contacts now but for years rode, and still do, wearing the original Camp Four or Tennie Canvas. C4 rubber, hard friction sole, but they work. I prefer the overall fit of the old vs the new. Still not convinced quality hasn't taken a hit since...

    That was a good negotiated price. I see I can order one on Giant site and pick up from nearby LBS (I'd have to drive 450 miles to Maine :) ) for $5100 including tax......so yeah, you did well. Deciding to buy a bike that fit your needs rather than spend stupid money was a smart move. Enjoy and...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    All local places near me, and by that I mean up to hour drive, are State/County owned Parks or State/County owned forested land. The trails are a result of many years local mtb's pleading their case. No plantations, but like any valuable timber areas have been logged at some point. Some of the...

    I have not ridden 29's on an eMTB. 27.5+ are higher volume and tend to have more responsive handling which is more conducive to the wooded tight rolling hills trails near me. I live in the Great Lakes basin btw. Besides that , 27.5+ were the trend last couple years, now it's 29 or combo.
