A small issue here is the chart ends at 20 mph :) The other is the chart refers to a specific cassette. Not applicable for another cassette. Also, the whole purpose of the drivetrain is to help the rider to maintain a proper cadence, so I'm not sure whether the chart would be practical on the...

An old thread but now I can contribute a little. My friend and a riding mate for two year now, Tommy, is totally deaf. Yes, he has an implant in his head. To communicate, he needs to attach a receiver to his skull and hang the electronics on his ear. The two years of riding together was a...

@2wheelsgood: I need to rectify the matter as a single thing I said before was indeed wrong! Of course, there is no danger to the motor at your low pedaling cadence when the motor is cut off. Sorry for that. With the 44T chainring and the 11T cassette cog you would hit 45 km/h at the cadence of...

I have tried the calculator i mentioned before. Wheels 38-622 Chainring 44T The smallest cassette cog 11T You will hit 35 km/h at the cadence of 67. Now, if you replace the chainring with a 46T one, the cadence will further drop to 64. Are you aware it is mashing and it is bad both for you and...

Yes, Tomasz/Tomek prefers being Tommy (he can speak English). His last name of Mazurek means "a Mazovian" or "a Masur", very Polish. We even have a cake by that name! As I said, I don't like the direction taken by the brand. Levos are good. Creo 2 is good. Apart, the e-bikes have become...

The Friendship Pond When my friend Jerzy was alive, we found our Friendship Square, which was equidistant (20 km) from our homes. Now, I've known Tommy for over 2 years now and we've become close friends. So we have designated another equidistant meeting point (14 km): The Friendship Pond in...

@2wheelsgood: before you do anything... I'm sure your existing AXS can report to the app in what gear you were mostly riding. Check this and consider if a bigger chainring would really meet your needs. With a smaller chainring, your chain works at small cassette cogs, which are equally geared...

Yet another KOM :)

Just you make you aware: none of these systems (as an automated solution) is perfect. For instance, the Spesh system is very conservative during the early ride phase (providing too little assistance just to make sure) while it is often the full assistance during the last phase (to meet the...

Not making any comparisons but... The latest Bosch e-bikes can calculate the ride distance and elevation gain by the route plan and take you there on the battery charge (by automatically adjusting the assistance). Specialized has had Smart Control since I think 2019: enter the ride distance and...

As I said, I cannot wait to see the video! It would be better than EMTBN as you guys didn't use a whole crew to help you en route! Also, the Isle of Rum video should be splendid!

You have earned my deepest respect, Charge! You are an MTBer by heart, and what you are doing is truly impressive! (I cannot wait to see your video about the trip!) I've watched a video about the collapse of Raleigh Cycle Company. When Specialized Stumpjumper was out, the Raleigh board had a...

It is all about the assisted speed, not the actual speed. The assisted speed is the maximum speed at which an ebike motor is still allowed to engage (it is cut off above). Let me give you an example. This Spring I participated in a "gravel e-rally" (a race without the podium). It was 63.7 mi...

Lovya, Charge! ❤️

Turned 65 today. Not retired. You can spare me b-day wishes :) (This headset replaces my XM4 one as inexpensive and better than the XM6).

No, it is a known flaw of Garmin. Advanced users equip their Garmins with a separate temperature sensor. Meanwhile, Summer In The City 😊

Garmin is off with +5 C. The actual temperature measured is 99 F, still hot!

No doubt it is hard. Would an equestrian climb it? (A poor horse...) Besides, have you already posted your Isle of Rum video?

It's 8 kilometres at an average 8.3% in rough terrain. Tough. You should do it in TURBO and a low gear provided you are pedalling persistently and never stop. No chance to try it on asphalt first?

We have our own share of road rage in Poland. I'm glad the cycling infrastructure has been built and it is growing in my country. We have self-entitled cyclists as well. Those are guys who believe bike paths have been made to "throw the cyclists off the road" and who actually treat the bike path...
