    Gazelle Ultimate C380 Plus Front Axle size

    Court always included specs in his EBR reviews from that time period. 15mm thru axle. Stomp described removing it pretty well - sometimes it binds and you have to push it back in then try again. When it does come out you'll wonder why it seemed difficult in the first place.

    Rad has new owner

    More details here, where they correctly refer to it as US assembly rather than manufacturing. The new process should save on tariffs, offsetting the higher labor costs, but more importantly it essentially allows them to pay as they sell product instead of paying tariffs up front on stuff that...

    Can 36v be better than 48?

    ?? How does that work? Maybe your definition of direct drive hub is different than what I'm used to seeing... The Radmission uses a geared hub, the current Abound uses a geared hub and I don't think a cargo eBike would make much sense with a direct drive hub...

    Winter Sucks

    You're Polish, so I assume you mean pickled eggs. Here in America we only eat those in dive bars after you've had enough Coors Light to sufficiently dull the senses.

    All this talk about throttles as a backup for component failure reminds me that my daughter's bike stopped working one day and she had to pedal the heavy thing home from school along with her 30lb backpack. Turned out the failure was the throttle itself. Once I disconnected it, the bike had...

    The bib shorts that are almost, but not actually, white really confuse me. As does the multiple shades of orange that look like like 1 color block unless you see an up close or still view of the rider. Why use shades with so little contrast?

    Moustache weekend dual suspension dual battery suitable for touring?

    That Weekender is very nicely equipped, but I too would be concerned about getting a XL given your height would seem to fit nicely into a L size frame. Of course a 2021 bike would function just as well today as it did in 2021, you just don't have access to updates or upgrades since the old...

    Gazelle Active line plus motor , Intuvita controller, intermittent motor drop out

    Yes, clean the contacts between the Intuvia and its mount. Sometimes you also have to adjust the cables going into the mount to ensure the contact points are making good contact. The Intuvia in particular has a rep of being sensitive to dirty contacts or even the contacts wearing if you...

    The earlier stage replays are there. Caught up on stages 2 and 3 tonight. Stage 1 was pretty good, really nice to see Biniam off to a good start with NSN. Don't bother watching the time trial Stage 2: due to high winds they announced the times wouldn't count towards GC so many of the riders...

    stompandgo's Pinarello Nytro E5 Allroad build thread

    Small correction on my part: the rotors with integrated magnets are the EM810 and EM910. Essentially the same as the MT800 and MT900 but the center piece has a built in spot on one arm for the magnet assembly. @Chazmo the black coating allows Shimano to differentiate the XTR/DuraAce level...

    Just finished watching the last of the Mallorca Challenges. Beautiful scenery there too, though I bet the peloton was tired of looking at Remco's backside by the end. Early indications are that Red Bull is going to be tough this year. I think their challenge might be trying to spread the...

    stompandgo's Pinarello Nytro E5 Allroad build thread

    Looks great! I'm putting a 2nd wheelset together so I can have a nicer road set and use the old wheels as a winter/off-road set. Got a pair of MT900 rotors for the new wheels. The CL's look a little cleaner to me, but the MT900 is available with the speed sensor magnet I need on my Bosch (and...

    Air travel with ME1

    You also need to figure out the battery since a 418wh battery is too large to fly with.

    Turbo Vado 2 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0?

    I don't have a Smart System bike. But no, you can choose to adjust any of those 5 settings independently or ignore them as it suits you. For instance, one could set the max watts to 320 and the max torque to 50 if you were riding with someone on a SL bike. Of course, just like in...
