    2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Hmm, all this talk of natural hazards and I realized I never posted about last week's ride up on Whitehorse Trail. My son was taking a standardized test at a school about an hour north so I took the bike along to ride during the 2.5 hr test. The day started inauspiciously when I found a flat...

    Just for fun...

    This was an 8-10ft wide trail, it kept getting narrower and narrower until the clear space was only about a ft across.

    Stuck Nyon Button on 2021 Trek Allant+ 7S

    PS: if it is the power button on the Nyon that is broken there are workarounds that do not require replacing the Nyon if all you don't need to turn it off/on mid ride.

    Stuck Nyon Button on 2021 Trek Allant+ 7S

    No, those are both SmartSystem Kiox. You would want the original Kiox IF your computer is actually broken. The Nyon has 2 buttons, main power and the headlight button. The handlebar remote (which is the same for Nyon, Kiox, and Smartphone hub) has the +- assist buttons and the <> and select...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    The commute home today. One of those days where you want to keep riding into the sunset. I didn't quite make it to the water before the sun got down to the mountains though.

    henry

    henry set out to paint 1000 sasquatch heads in the PNW in 2025. He asked people to register if they wanted him to paint their property and had to shut down the registration in May after getting 1500 requests.

    Racing eMTBs: Taking On A Special Challenge

    GNCC (motorcross ) has had an emtb class since 1999. Used to be sponsored by Yamaha, but I think Spec is the primary sponsor now. They limit competition to oem ebikes and specific brand drive units that are white listed. That pretty much eliminates on the fly power changes since drive units...

    We split time between Grand Rapids and East Lansing area while there. I usually get 1 morning in each area for a good 2-3 hr ride, and then maybe one or two 60-90 minute rides before the family gets going in the mornings. The dirt road was east of Grand Rapids(Egypt Valley I think?), the farm...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    A couple shots from my rides a few weeks ago during a visit to Michigan. They take their dirt roads - sorry, Natural Beauty Roads - seriously. I waited on the shoulder while they finished grooming the road. Presumably, they had heard I was in the area and would be borrowing my in-law's bike...

    MTB trail layer for RideWithGPS

    I dont think this is intended to show DIFFERENT trails than the unpaved layer. What it does is add color coding if the trails have been tagged by difficulty rating. You can see it adds a lot of value in a mtb park that has been pretty well tagged. Sample of Duthie Hill with the new mtb off...

    stompandgo's Pinarello Nytro E5 Allroad build thread

    Wow, that 9-45 cassette looks really nice and about 100g lighter than the 11speed XT. Does TQ support the Auto Shift or the Free Shift features that Shimano lists with the 8260? That would certainly add to the argument for the long cage hardwired one.

    Sounds good, let us know how it turns out!

    Felt Sport-E 50 Commuter Conversion / Shimano EP8 / Alfine Di2 Hub...

    You mentioned the Felt is a lightweight commuter? Sport E-50? Those seemed like nice bikes. I don't know what the Rohloff gives you over the Alfine if you don't need the extra gearing besides making your bike a pound or 2 heavier. It's not my time or money so here's a dumb idea: sell the...

    2025 Vuelta a Espana

    Thanks for the explanation. I tuned in just after he got his primary bike back and was trying to piece together whether he had 2 mechanicals or no team car or what. I wonder if they are carrying both aero and climbing spares for Jonas on some of these stages? Seems a lot less common than in...

    Is a 2022 Medeo Blue Tooth Compatible?

    As Stomp said, it's a propriety cable from the motor to the Kiox/Nyon, and also a cable from the display to the handlebar controls. The Kiox and Nyon connect to phone and eBike Connect app via Bluetooth, but also sync with the eBike Connect server via wifi. Nyon is self sufficient with its own...
