    The transition

    How comes Poland doesn't. You are talking the Russian propaganda language, Charge. One guy nicknamed Lenin had a description of your alikes. Could you remind me what it was?

    The transition

    Which has silenced Russian social media troll farms, pretending to be a real opposition in Poland. -- Our servers are burning, Mr. President! What are we doing? -- Go in the analog mode! The three Russia supporting Polish politicians not getting any more instruction from Moscow. As I can hear...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I'm a traditionalist :) I have no possibility to simmer the chain in the wax where I live.

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Photos of me from the Warka ride I know how I look like, and it is rare I get any flattering photos of myself. A mate from the ride Karol did his best! Riding a gravel connecting segment on the way to Góra Kalwaria. The Supernova headlight was as bright as I had to tonally balance any photo...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Some Trouble with Vado 6.0 All seem to have been resolved. I've realised 2026 was my big Vado (Roadrunner) year, with Vado SL ridden a way less. I was able to completely neglect checking the chain stretch, which resulted in over 1% elongation (shudder!) I was afraid to have my 11-46T, 11-speed...

    I wasn't really offended! :) (In a non-verbal communication, the punctuation marks and emoticons do matter, though...)

    Because they are so cheap? Five grands buys you a good e-bike. Well, if someone thinks $1,200 is the right price for an e-bike...

    Because perhaps it has not been adjusted in the factory? With every new bike, an owner should give the ride "a 100 mile" check. Fixing the screws, bolts, adjusting...

    Just adjust it (electronically). The real deal with the Di2 2x is it has eliminated poor front shifts for good, why not make use of it? (That's why road pros use Di2; they cannot afford failed shifts). Not interested with your cadence, leg power or calories burnt? :) You have got these...

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

    Totally incompatible. The Full Power Range Extender is 59 V while the SL Range Extender is 48 V. A completely different system.

    Fun with AI

    Not eaten in Poland :) I removed the AI posters involving some of my friends. Two of them are graphic artists and do not appreciate their persons in AI creations.

    An impressive ride, Rab! Not only because of the distance but also elevation gain and max grade! Glad to hear you can understand the assistance and can plan your rides accordingly. I wonder how deep could you discharge the battery? 20% is certainly not the limit and I guess you could well ride...

    "Alfer's Apple" Ride: The Photos Just a few, the most representative ones. On a gravel alternative to road cycling, a trail bypassing Cieciszew on the Warsaw - Góra Kalwaria route. Those guys first had no idea what I was riding. As MTBs are rather slow, I shot forward in just 40/80% Power ECO...

    Liam Carpenter is the man! I've watched him since "In Germany we don't say" times. @Chargeride: Willy: The only reason you have a German passport is 'cause of me Liam: Keep it. Liam: You know what? Actually, I might need it. Brexit. :D That bald Pole's smirk! :D His first Poland's reel ❤️

    Warsaw MTB Training Ground The "hopping garden" at the bottom of Kazurka Hill in south Warsaw. The largest city of Poland is located in Flatpoland (as it is ironically called by enthusiast cyclists). Many of the active part of youth crave about mountain biking though. While the hill itself...
