Government overreach and tyranny. Taking someone's legally purchased and owned property and destroying it because they were riding recklessly is a bridge too far. I've seen governments do this with cars too.

I have a friend that bought a $550 e-bike and it goes pretty good for the money, but it's heavy and handles poorly. When I helped him put it together, we could not get the rear derailleur adjusted right, no matter what we did. There are some gears it just won't shift into and I'm not sure why...

I store all of my batteries in fireproof battery bags, even if they're from a reputable manufacturer and UL listed. This includes not only bike batteries, but I have yard equipment that uses some big batteries (like for a lawnmower and leaf blower). I also cover them while charging with a...

This is insane. Over here in the US, New Jersey just banned e-bikes from almost all bike trails and are now treating all classes of e-bike as motorcycles. Knee-jerk reaction and nanny state out of control. I sure hope this doesn't spread to other states. I will be beyond livid.

Just the other day, I was riding on the bike trail, doing about 22 mph when three kids riding those electric motorcycles blew past me at over 30 mph. They didn't give any warning or signal that they were passing and got way too close to me. What if at that moment I had to swerve to avoid debris...

For me I got an e-bike when they finally started making light, low powered gravel e-bikes a few years ago. I still wanted to get a good workout in, but I wanted to ride further, faster and more often, while also maintaining the handling of a lighter bike. Ride further: The area I live in has...

Weather is turning nice, especially today, so all the horses are coming out. The only thing is, the trail is kind of soft right now due to all the snow melting and some rain, so the horses make deep indentations that are very rough to ride over. Then there are the occasional horse pies...

It's like the thing is alive and is recovering from "surgery". 😬

So as of today, this issue seems to have fixed itself. Now the battery discharge settings are working like they should. They did not work on the past 3 rides, but today they're working. 🤔

Without fenders.

On my 4.0, there is a lot of clearance on the front. It's the rear that's narrower.

I have the Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH in 45. I'm using them without fenders.

I had my bike serviced back in January and they updated the firmware. Now, it seems that the battery discharge settings don't stick anymore. I have a range extender battery that I like to use on both short and long rides. When I do a short ride of around 25 miles or less, I can do the whole...

I have Pirelli gravel tires in 45 on my Vado SL 4.0 and they fit fine with plenty of clearance. They have a noticeably softer and more compliant ride than the 38 Pathfinders. I just installed them about 6 rides ago and haven't been able to fully test them out on the dirt and gravel that I...

I'd totally try to jump that.

I believe Fizik has a no-question return or exchange policy. The guy I ride with who has one had to exchange the first one he bought since he didn't like it (a "short nose" saddle).

Speaking of saddles, has anyone tried the Fizik 3D printed saddles? I ride with a guy who has one and swears by it. We've done some long rides (50+ miles) and he has no issues. I still have the factory saddle on my SL 4.0 and while it's OK for short rides, it can cause saddle sores if I do too...

I just installed Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RH tires on my Turbo Vado 4.0. The original Pathfinder Sport tires were a little too narrow and not quite as aggressive as I would have liked for the terrain I ride on, which is mostly crushed limestone hardpack. The original Pathfinders are 38 mm...

Passed these guys trotting along yesterday.

I have the same issue. I bought my bike at a similarly glizty shop in a fancy town, where the "rich" folks go. After bringing it in for service a couple times, I was not impressed with how they were trying to nickel and dime me to death for stuff I didn't need. They also tried to charge me for...
