Welcome aboard, @GMA52 .

I had one as a child. I loved it!

Tough day to miss, @newts !! Had a gorgeous ride today. Hope you can button up the Gazelle quickly.

My ebike is awesome, Stefan, even if you don’t like it. Can’t argue about my cycling abilities though. ;) And, as for a fancy cassette, I can admire the beautiful metals even if there’s no way in heck I’d spend the money for one. :) Sadly, that is missing tungsten carbide. :D

As promised, above… Fall colors are a bit past “peak,” but the oranges, browns, and especially the yellows are astounding. I’m going to post a little photo essay (below) of one direction — due west — of my daily ride. Right now, I’m chowing down and getting ready to head home. It will be a...

Nothing good.

That’s slick, Chris! Sorry if you already posted it and I’ve forgotten (but pictures from the first page aren’t showing up anyway)… I think you said Di2 is a future for this bike? So, what shifting mechanism are you using for this Deore XT derailleur, and what does the shifting mechanism look...

It’s like a black and white Christmas! I have to say, as a huge fan of various awesome metals (Ti included) this just really cranks my tool. ;) (Apologies for the huge thread veer… I promise some spectacular pictures of peak fall from my ride later. Promise…. :D )

My goodness! That’s a crazy trek on a scooter… Although, I must admit I’ve never seen a scooter with bicycle wheels before. Oh, and it was only his 3rd longest ride!

Probably seems a bit silly, but I like your two-tone gears, Stefan! That’s cool.

Amen, brother. And my mileage does indeed vary! :D

FYI, I re-read it, Jeremy, and I still don’t see any mention about upstroke and rider power. I guess you mean that it’s implied by his comment about sprinting performance (and yours ;) ) and his saying “efficiency” is pretty much a wash…? Regardless, makes sense to me, but then I’m not a...

Good article. I always thought people gained power on the upstroke with clipless, Ras.. Might’ve missed it, but didn’t think I saw it mentioned in the article. That might’ve been a factor at some point. Anyway, very interesting, guys! I certainly agree that flat pedals seem fine to me. In...

Gocha’… Yeah, I’ve seen those. Thanks!

Charge, your British humor combined with those insane rides you do certainly keep us on our toes. Keep it up!

Ah, perhaps that’s what’s changed in the intervening years. The pedals I had, which were just bindings on a spindle, could not be used without the cleated biking shoes. I.e., they had no surrounding “platform” to allow pedaling with regular shoes. I think they made them that way for weight...

Are clipless pedals out of style or is it an ebike thing? I don’t see many (any?) of us using them. I was never much of a fan, but I did use them for a while back in the late 1990s and early oughts.

What a fun video! Really enjoyed! Not sure what to think of the virtual pedaling. Very interesting development (virtual pedaling) and I wonder where it’ll go.

Totally hear that, Jeremy. On my bike (75lb fat-tire ebike) it’s just not feasible for me to ride without power if there’s any uphill incline at all. Basically, I only turn the motor off on level trail or slight downgrade where I can pedal to at least 10MPH (about the minimum I’m comfortable...

Wonderful! Glad the new battery is working for you, @jwhy! So, in total, you only changed the display and the battery, right? That’s great. So, I’m not sure how much experience you have with lithium-ion batteries, jwhy, but try not to charge above 80% (55.4V) most of the time, and try not to...
