    Thanks for the reply Jeremy. I know you have the previous gen motor, so was not sure if the app software was tied to the motor. but you know your bike and it is great to have control! 38lb RTR weight is decent for alloy. I am still trying to figure the % to make it the same as my Ibis Hakka. I...

    Awesome Jeremy! Great mileage! you had tons of battery to spare. What is your ready to ride weight? I know you have a rack and tool bag. so everything. Also, what power is your Sport power setting? The default 50%? I have been moving mine around in the app between 45 and 60% for Sport. My...

    Garmin RearVue 820 Radar Light impressions

    Here are my thoughts on the new Varia Rearvue 820...is good, but not great. I have about 4 long rides with it so far. Two of those rides had another cyclist riding with me. I have used the Garmin Varia RTL 515 for about 3 years, with a Garmin Edge 530, Edge 1030 and Wahoo Bolt 1. The good...

    I wanted to ride to the coast from my house instead of driving over with the bike and riding. It is about a 45 minute drive one way. So, I packed a bit of food for lunch and loaded the rack. I installed a Wolf Tooth Double Bottle Cage Adapter. So cool. I needed it since I was using the Battery...

    Rode over to Arastradero Park from my house. Had a short break at the pond. The weather cooled down, so it was a nice mellow ride. 26 miles, 1700ft only a few miles on dirt trails.

    I tried a new route yesterday. I knew there would be some climbing but this was intense! up to 16% grade. I used the micro tune setting to go to 90%, since my Turbo is set to 70%. I returned using a familiar trail but since I did not air down my tires at 40psi, I almost crashed in the rutted...

    Jeremy... coincidence, I had some tough 16% grades on my ride today too. also 16 miles! pix soon. What brake calipers do you have? The SRAM Apex on my Creo 2 are terrible. it is well documented online. I had mine bled after 3 rides. still crappy. terrible modulation. lots of noise, even after...

    I swapped my winter Vittoria Terreno knobby tires for the smoother Conti Terra Speeds. so this was my first ride. They roll so well. not as fast as my Conti GP5000s but very nice. And I tried a new neighborhood in Portolah Valley today, I expected it as I plotted the route, but a crazy steep...

    @Stefan Mikes I have an old Panasonic GX-7. likely succeeded by a few generations by now. I am not been following photo equipment since then.

    @Stefan Mikes, looks like a fun ride with your gravel gang. Nice to see your DSLR photos, such a different feel from phone photos with the default focus to infinity. I have been meaning to dust off camera and bring on a ride. I have a mini harness for my micro four thirds that I used on travel only.

    So funny, I was thinking the same thing!! I know landscape photos are best without vehicles. But it is also nice to the flavor of an area with traffic and people. I am guilty of waiting for vehicles to pass when taking photos which include the road.

    Signs of Spring

    Specialized S-Works Aethos 2 is the lightest production road frame in the world ... Frame Weight: 595g/1.3lb (56cm), Bike weight is 13lb 3oz., so add pedals and water bottles. So I can see how it can be lifted with one finger. I would love to ride one! But, for fun, I just lifted my Ibis Hakka...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    I have no clue Jeremy, but I had 4x stream crossing on a recent ride. Therefore I had something going on with my wheels/hubs, so cleaned them out. the squeak was still there. Hoping it was not my Bottom Bracket! So, not audible in the bike stand prior after my cleaning, I heard it from the rear...
