I have used Marathon Plus (and lately ePlus) for over ten years. Wouldn't dream of anything else. I retire them long before wearing out at about 10,000 miles but absolutely believe it is a 15K to 20K mile tire. In 50,000 mi I have had 4 flats in all city riding. In that time I've picked...

I recently installed a suspension fork on my Gazelle Ultimate T10 (replacing the stock monoshock). After two hundred miles I was "shocked" to see how much fine gravel had accumulated at the lower headset bearing, threatening over time to affect it. I cut a strip of inner tube and (simply) super...

I have been riding Marathon Plus Tires for 10 years on both analog and ebikes. This includes 4 pair over three bikes. The environment is Phoenix AZ (very dry) and strewn with road hazards, both man made (tacks, glass) and natural (goat heads). My mileage obtained is 10,000 to 12,000 miles but...

Update - now at 15,000 miles. On 7th chain. Upgraded (yes, it is an upgrade) to Intuvia. I have a second battery that I rotate every other day, although original battery is functioning as new. Wonderful bike.

Regarding a Gazelle Ultimate T10 at 15,000 miles; Chains get replaced at .5% wear. Currently on its 7th chain. All (so far) have been a KMC e10 (non EPT) cut to 118 links wiped and lubed (ProLink) every 100 miles. I have sourced these from Great Britain (5ea) and the U.S. directly from its...

I believe the parts would cost about $450, the single biggest cost being the wheel rebuild. Labor from a LBS would be $350 to $500 making the total estimated conversion $800 to $1,000. I believe these costs to be accurate and hope this information helps your decision. Regards

I have an Ultimate T10 (2022). I'm quite familiar with its components. What generation of Bosch drive do you have? If you don't know, what is the name on the left motor case? Active Line, Performance Line? Year of the bike? You need; 1. New rear Hub (which means rebuilding or buying a 28" ready...

It occurred to me that your shin contact could be due to start/stop technique related to riding a step through frame. Is that the case?

Jeepers! Are you slipping off your pedals and banging up your shins? That should be very infrequent if ever. Please consider looking into a pedal/shoe system. As I indicated (above), you will be "stuck" to your pedals under all circumstances. Just because a system like that is a "Mountain"...

Most folks see the pedal with pins coupled with a dedicated cycling shoe as an integrated system. Of course you don't need that kind of system, but the results are quite remarkable. Actually feels like being glued to the bike. I've used the same pair of Five Ten Freerider for over ten years...

Now, we will go beyond anal; Pair your charger with a "Kill A Watt" device. 1. Get real time charging wattage 2. Accumulates electricity used 3. Provides the cost for usage 4. Among other data

For the truly anal, I offer the digital chain checker. Basically analyzing chain stretch in 'real time'.

I might also add this consideration (at the risk of starting a firestorm); There is a 3 Class ebike system accepted throught most of the States. You can look it up anywhere, so I won't take the space here. Point is, if the Class system is used within a particular municipality and actually...

There is a tendency to over-buy. Bigger (or more powerful) may not be best for your circumstances. For the most part, any reputable LBS will advise you on the best combination for you, once you accurately describe how and where you will ride.

KMC e series for any ebike. My e10 (on Gazelle Bosch 10t) with 11,500 miles and the fifth KMC e10. Each is good for 2,500 to 3,000 miles with lube every 100. Complete confidence.

Good day, I suspect the large and hollow nature of the frame transmits such sounds making them hard to trace. My Ultimate T10 (2022 with 11,500 mi) was no exception. Padding the battery case - yes. Ensuring that the stem adjustment bolt was torqued to spec - big difference. I also removed the...

Bosch mid drive - Deore 10sp here - KMC e10: Wipe chain (and chainring) every 50 miles. Lube (ProGold) individual links (118) every 100 miles. Wipe excess. All by bike upright, pedal spin backwards. 2,500 to 3,000 miles per chain.

When I was running schrader valves, I installed pre-slimed tubes on two different occasions. Both times, eventually (within 6 months), the rubber surrounding the valve stem developed leaks. These were premium tubes. The leaks began by the expansion of the rubber (just before they blew out)...

Gazelle Ultimate T10 High Step 2022 This bike gets ridden. Alot! Two year report: 11,500 miles. Environment: Phoenix AZ USA (pre-dawn in summer). Paved and gravel canal paths and city streets. Riding style: Aggressive (for 72 yo), inner city, 65 avg cadence, 114 HR, 2,500 ft ascent/week, 14 mph...

Go to the hardware store and get a; 3mm (0.1 in) thick by 25mm (1.0 in) or so diameter rubber "O" ring. This should be a very close replacement for the original rubber strap.
