Apparently the German company Kindernay has gone bankrupt. https://www.cyclingabout.com/kindernay-hub-no-longer-they-went-bankrupt/ There was a good amount of interest on here awhile back of those looking to delete their derailleur systems and took the leap of faith to spend $$$$ converting to...

Got a notice today that Bimotal is introducing a mid drive to the public that has some impressive specs. They also are making batteries available that look to be along the same lines in regards to power output/weight that is more than competitive with main market manufacturers. Early days...

Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty. I choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, "I'll bet a doughnut wouldn't have done this to me." Nothing spoils a...

There has been some press in the bike world recently about a new wheel standard that was developed by WTB and recently showcased at the made bike show in Portland by Moots of Steamboat Springs, CO that have been making Ti bikes for decades now. It has spawned quite a bit of angst amongst the...

This came up on my screen today. The DM01 is kind of a BBSHD with Torque Sensing. Weighs 6kg......Square taper cranks, when are they going to get with the splined program over there? Supposedly developed by an ex Bafang engineer. The DM02 is alot lighter @3.6kg or so and a competitor to the...

I have not been happy with the shifting on my LUNA Z1 since day 1. I blame it on the internal cable routing that is pretty much the standard today. The fact that now the cable is completely housed creates friction that makes the gear changes sluggish, especially in the middle cogs of the...

This wheelset is tailored for eBikes and another level burlier than conventional bicycle rated wheels. More material in the rim, more material in the spokes and attention to detail looks just right. I would imagine these will spawn takeoff's from other companies over time but WTB as a brand had...

When it rains it pours and I now fine myself embroiled in 3 distinctly different builds all of which I have had experience with in the past and hoped to re-visit some day but just not all at once! A guy on CL had this modified BOB YAK up for sale at what I thought was a decent price considering...

I am in the city for a bit and perusing CL the other night I came across an 06' Custom steel fat bike made by Vicious Cycles in PA. I am in OR so it has migrated aways. Price was too good to pass up for what was probably a $5k build when new, even has a Chris King headset....Nice paint job and...

Well new to me anyway. Years ago my first LiFePo4 battery came wrapped in duct wrap and I used it to power a 1000w Golden Motor wheel mounted in a BOB Yak trailer. It lived in a nylon Ammo type box on the floor of the trailer. For that situation it worked well but for my bike builds since I have...

This just in: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=117559&p=1731603#p1731603 Looks like the CAN puzzle has been solved thanks to this enterprising gentleman. At least if it works as advertised. Less than $150 usd seems like a fair price also. He is handmaking them so get your...

An industry friend got some rims, tires and frames made for a wheel size he was considering for his company. The rim he designated as 750d because that is the diameter in mm. With a 40c tire the overall diameter is 29.5"es which makes it over an inch more than a comparable 700c wheel. However it...

Just a bit of public service info as this type of battery is not that well known as the Hailong style case ones but can be a good match for tighter triangles especially...

First of all although I know how to solder and have the right tools but the hardest technique I have run into on my eBikes is shortening the controller to display cable that has many small wires. You really need the right size of strippers first of all and soldering isn't too bad but getting...

Figured I would consolidate here information about the stock 840wh battery and the quest for an even better version for use as a second battery at the least. The M620 I have decided is a wh muncher no matter how you slice it. Sure you can waddle along on Mode 1 for miles and get as good a range...

And not just on the road! https://techhq.com/2021/12/forget-about-evs-electric-bikes-are-topping-the-sales-charts/ Not new news nor even all that surprising and all on here are a part of it.

As seen on the PDX Craigs List: Original cost of $550.....the used Sondors market is up there!

Not sure how many of you have ever heard of Rob Warner. Short version is ex pro DH racer from GB that turned into the announcer for UCI WC Downhill racing as seen on your screen. He has a vivid sense of humour, as I find Britain folk are apt to, and now is producing a You Tube channel because...
