There is nothing wrong with Alivio. It is reliable and shifts great.

I know this is an old topic but if you are still wondering about upgrading you can use a 9 speed derailleur with an 8 speed or 7 speed drive train. Upgrade to an Alivio 9 speed. https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Unisex-Rd-m3100-derailleur-Standard/dp/B08CGYD213 You can still find Alivio and...

I would be interested in the fork

Wow, you are using a 12 speed. I would have thought that a 12 speed chain would not hold up to the torque of an E-bike. Time will tell. I still have concerns about my 105 cassette and chain holding up. The tiagra cassette is all steel I believe but the 105 is not and it is a risk for teeth...

Is this this one that you bought- https://www.wolftoothcomponents.com/collections/chainrings/products/110-bcd-asymmetric-4-bolt-for-shimano-cranks or https://www.amazon.com/Wolftooth-Chainring-Speed-Flattop-Chains/dp/B07WSYDB2V I have thought about going to a single crank but want a 50T for...

They tend to fail at the valves. What crank did you put on?

How do you like the TPU tubes? I have done a lot of research on them and they seem to not hold up.

I find it very interesting that you changed out the group set. I find that the 10 spd Tiagra shifts flawlessly. I thought about upgrading to 105 or Ultegra 11 spd but it will be too much of a pain. I upgraded my cassette to a 105 with narrower spacing. It is also much lighter than the stock...

E-bike tires are much more robust to be able to handle the weight. I am making an assumption that the S-works tires will hold up. They have very high puncture resistance and are heavier. I don't think that a 220 gram tire like the 5000's will hold up and they will be prone to blowout and...

I just bought a pair of titanium pedals that weight 170g for a pair off of Aliexpress (the stock pedals are about 175 grams a piece which is not that bad at all). I also bought a titanium seat post clamp and titanium stem bolts and computer bolts from Amazon. Got them in electric blue for fun...

I am having the same issue with my Civante. The fork creaks like crazy. It started about 2 weeks after I bought it 2 years ago and I am getting tired of it. Sometimes it is so loud it sounds like the frame is cracking. If you find a solution, please PM me. I finally contacted my dealer and...

Nice, I would love to ride your bike. Just upgrading the tires on my bike made a significant improvement in acceleration.

I am 64 and got my bike so I could keep up with my 30 year old son on rides. We only go for 20-30 mile rides and we will cruise at 20-22mph. My foot goes numb if I ride any further which is a bummer. If your bike is in good shape and you like it, replace the motor. I had a crash a year ago...

What is the cost of a new battery and motor? It has to be less than the cost of a new bike. At 7K miles you should get a new chain and cassette.

Hey Todbar, my son found an adjustable bike stem that can go straight up vertical. Scroll down to the bottom of the link to see it set vertically...

It has been a year since I bought my Civante and posted. I still like my Civante. I am curious what upgrades people have done. A year ago I posted that I upgraded the tires to Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLC 32c tires that I run with tubes, a Shimano 105 11-28t cassette and 105 chain along with a...

There is actually a good straight bar shimano brake lever that will work with the road hydraulic disc brakes but it is not sold in the USA. You can buy it in Europe but they will not ship to the U.S.. You can however according to my local bike shop, use Shimano Altus hydraulic disc brake...

I know that this is an old thread but I thought that I would revisit this with some additional options for any one in the same boat as there is really no way to convert the bike to a straight bar due to the brakes and brake levers. Believe me I tried. You would have to change out the entire...

The Suntour also has various springs...
