    For sale in Calgary: 2020 Fathom E+1 Pro

    $4000 CDN Local (Calgary, Alberta) pickup preferred - I am only posting here in the off chance someone local see's this. Shipping is more effort than I want to do. But if someone from a nearby location (Saskatchewan, Alberta or BC, or a nearby US State) is interested, perhaps we work a...

    Happy Canada Day

    Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian e-Bikers. 🇨🇦 Will likely go for a small ride this afternoon, before a simple BBQ dinner. (making this a post that includes bikes) June is over, so perhaps our typical June weather silliness is over (here in Calgary at least). Cheers!

    From their website: Researchers at the Mineta Transportation Institute, San Jose State University, are conducting a survey to gather your thoughts and preferences about cycling among older adults.

    Best Chamois for Male comfort

    For those of you who are male, if you haven't already considered these, you absolutely should. Bn3th North Shore Wow, just wow. Not the cheapest, but some of the best money I've spent on my e-MTB since the bike itself. Depending on your personal situation, it may be something to consider.

    Multiple Pumps

    As with many things, you often need more than one. I now have 4 ways to pump up tires. The emergency compressed air kit that is always on my bike on the toptube bag. The portable hand pump that's usually in my knapsack with the shock pump. The floor pump in my car for days away. Now finally, a...

    A feature length documentary about the beginnings of the MTB industry in Britain. Obviously not e-bike.

    EnergyPak Fit and Removal Tips

    My EnergyPak 500 in my 2020 Fathom E+ Pro, fits really tightly in it's space, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Good - very little dust and no apparent moisture ingress. Bad - it's a bugger to get out. Note - I live in a full winter scenario - bike is outside in non-heated garage...

    Corbet's Couloir on MTBs!

    I skied Corbet's twice back in the late 70's. Once with serious style and grace and once as a yard sale! I saw some guy in all wool ski wear and old school gear on telemark ski's really kill it one day. Most people stood their watching slack jawed until a local piped up with some commentary...

    Walk Mode

    I did post this on another sub-forum as someone was looking for assistance, but as it does apply more to MTB situations, I thought a double post is OK. EMBN put a pretty good video on the subject today, and I felt I have learned a few new tricks.

    Hardtail tire guidance for alternatives to current setup

    I've got 27.5 x 2.6 Maxxis Forekasters on my Fathom e1 Pro, and I also have some Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro's (same size) in my shopping cart at ChainReaction. My rims, according to Giant, are 35mm. Before I finish the purchase of the studded tires and have them shipped, I was considering another...

    Testing IPX7 Ratings on Ear Buds

    I have a couple of pairs of Anker Sound Buds, as I like to listen to audio books when riding alone. One of my sets are from Anker and are pretty good for battery life and audio quality. I have just finished a personal test of their IPX7 Waterproof ratings. I did not follow absolute testing...

    PNW Components - Excellent Customer Service

    I have a PNW Coast Dropper/Suspension seat post for my Fathom that I acquired "used" from @Stefan Mikes. Riding home Sunday, it stopped working and I found time today to bring my bike indoors (it's -14C) for a cleaning and some maintenance. I took the dropper out (it's an externally wired one)...

    Backpacks for MTB

    Has anyone tried out any products from USWE? It's a Swedish company. The mighty Google algorithms connected me to them and the MTB packs look pretty nice, albeit a bit expensive. I like how they can integrate a chest action cam mount and how they supposedly don't move around when you are in the...
