My two Mirrycle rear view mirrors (on separate e-bikes) need replacement. Both were beaten on crashes. It was never the glass that was shattered. It were the holder parts that became bent. I need to adjust the mirror position with my hand but bent is bent and will never be good again. It was so...

Let me describe the sad story of a person who I know very well, and who lives in a good neighbourhood of a North European country's capital city. The man owned as many as two Bosch E-Bikes, Smart System, Flow App. One night, he forgot locking his garage. His two e-bikes got stolen overnight. He...

As I said under another thread, the new Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v3 turned out to be a lemon for me, and I returned it to the seller. However, I wanted to understand what the flagship (e-)bike GPS computer of Wahoo Fitness could be like. My decision was 'If it is a lemon, too, I won't just keep it'...

A good analysis of the latest case as discussed by DC Rainmaker: DC Rainmaker has brought many good points, two of them being very important: It is one thing to get a patent but it is very difficult to defend that patent; You do not poke an 800 lb bear (Garmin) without a good reason. Should...

The 7Anna Group of Poland, the owner of Rondo, NS Bikes, Creme and Octane One brands has just filed for bankruptcy protection. I can remember how @Rás Cnoic was excited about the Rondo's "revolutionary" ideas. If I'm not wrong, @PedalUma was delighted with the beauty of Creme. You do not win...

I took the plunge and ordered a Wahoo Roam 3 (not ELEMNT anymore, not v* either). In the quest of the "latest & greatest" I was considering a purchase of a Wahoo ACE but eventually was reasonable and practical. If I needed to carry a brick on the handlebar that would be a smartphone :) I checked...

I have just watched an extensive video from a Bosch E-Bike expert (in Polish) and he explained everything. Assistance Modes Overall, there are 13 Bosch Smart System assistance modes. Exceptions: SPRINT is only available for SX motors. This mode prefers a high cadence. CARGO is available for...

Well, that certainly requires a well controlled environment to come to the right conclusions but is the SL 1.1 motor that loud under a typical riding conditions? During the video, you can hear a car passing by. That's loud! :) Listen to the wind, the shifter click, to the tyre noise...

Having owned a Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v1 then Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt v2 and now Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v2, I have now bought a Garmin EDGE 540. Reasons? GPS Bike Computer E-Bike Compatibility While all Wahoo ELEMNT computers worked perfectly with my Specialized full-power and SL e-bikes (Vado and Vado SL...

My Vado SL 4.0 Gen 1 came with a 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain. As there were big jumps between some gears, and I also needed a wide range cassette, I replaced the drivetrain with a 11-speed Shimano M5100 drivetrain with a 11-51T cassette, a new long cage derailleur, and an appropriate...

What do you think?

As the Forum "Search" feature seems to have stopped working, let me create this thread about dropper posts and related matters. For a few for you who might not be even aware what the 'dropper seat-post' (the dropper in short) is for, a short explanation: Mountain bikers need to be able to ride...

As I can see it, my Roam v2 is everything I need.

I've just watched 'Rebel Ridge', a 2024 Netflix action/mystery movie. The movie starts with a scene where Aaron Pierre rides a gravel bike 'worth at least two grands'. I enjoyed watching that movie!

To be able to determine the elevation gain of our ride, we need an altimeter. These are the altimeters that we can use for e-biking: E-bike barometric altimeter (available on some advanced e-bikes) Smartphone altimeter (will work with ride trackers such as Strava, Komoot, RideWithGPS, or a...

As I recollected a Tero X 4.0 demo ride I had a year ago, I could remember it was a very heavy e-bike even for Specialized standards. As I regularly carry my Vado 6.0 (26.4 kg or 58 lbs) upstairs, I have the weight in my muscle memory. If Tero X 4.0 felt so heavy to me, what would its listed...
