    Suspension Seat Posts

    I have a dropper seat post on my full suspension mtb. I ride all terrain from paved paths to single track. My seat post has three positions. I use all three depending on the situation. I have trained my self to lower the seat to the bottom setting when stopping so my feet can touch the ground so...

    No motorized vehicles allowed

    We have ridden the trail twice this summer on my wife's e-trike and my e-bike. Both times there were other e-bikes on the trail. I do not turn on my bike unless there is a strong head wind. The trail is almost flat with little grades. Here is a video...

    Choosing a Moustache, who would have thought it was so difficult?

    I would question why the LBS won't let you ride in the wet weather. I test rode the Rad bikes in a Seattle drizzle. The wet weather should not bother a well made bike.

    Whos changed their disc brake pads? It's so hard!

    I got it from the SRAM website. I have a Specialized Turbo Levo with a SRAM drivetrain.

    Whos changed their disc brake pads? It's so hard!

    Did you break the pads in per the manufacturer's instructions? This helped even out the pads and calipers on my emtb. I also replaced my pads before 600 miles.

    Las Vegas E-bike ride at Red Rock

    If you don't care for the bright lights of downtown, but would like to see the desert areas, does anyone have recommendations on a place to stay? My wife is disables and rides a trike. She needs a paved trail. We have never been to Las Vegas.

    In the National Forest by me, the gate will be locked with a sign that says no motor vehicles. If you can ride around the gate on any motor vehicle,it is legal. This is from the Forest Service Office.

    Who's the oldest and youngest rider here?

    I may be heading to Montana later this month. Can you provide areas to ride for visitors? I will be stopping in Butte and Bozeman to visit relatives.

    Transporting A Trike

    I know what you mean about tight areas. I have a Grand Cherokee I pull the trailer with. I could barely get in and out of the REI parking lot in Medford, Oregon. Fortunately the Cherokee turns sharp and I can jack knife the trailer without hitting the Cherokee. We probably haul our bikes 3000...

    Transporting A Trike

    We transport my wife's trike and my emtb in a 4x6 cargo trailer. We do not worry about weather or theft. The trailer weight about 800 lbs, but there are lighter trailers. The only problem is my wife keeps adding items to take on our trips.

    Confused About "Class 1 Legality"

    The State of California classifies class 1 & 2 as bicycles. But local authorities may change the rules? Someone from your area should chime in. I ride singletrack in a California State Park when I visit. The enforcement ranger told me he was looking to get an e-bike.

    Go For $$ Or Not?

    I went from a RadMini to a Specialized Turbo Levo since I ride 60% dirt and gravel. The poor Mini is wasting away. I bought my bike as a rental in Hood River last September with a good savings and a new warranty. It had been charged 10 times and ridden 165 miles. You might shop around for used...

    Need recommendations...

    With my wife, I would give her a card with a gift certificate for a bike. No way would I try to fit a bike without the person riding it present.
