    SRAM has a new ebike drivetrain.

    Probably not for me, but it appears to be a worthwhile progression. https://www.bikeradar.com/news/sram-eagle-powertrain/?image=2&type=gallery&gallery=0&embedded_slideshow=0

    Yamaha has a new motor for 2023

    A nice, fairly small advance. Lighter, more powerful and smaller with an automatic mode. https://electrek.co/2022/09/06/yamaha-mid-drive-electric-bike-motor-pw-s2/amp/

    Making it your own, unlocking your bike’s potential

    This being an ebike review forum, I thought that this would be a good place to display our modifications and provide our opinions. I have upgraded almost everything on my Cross Core. The bike is fine stock, but it is also a good place to start to make the bike that you want, but can’t find...

    Future Innovation, Where Are We Going

    Like anything restricted by class constraints, (speed, power, etc.), we are severely limited in how we can evolve. We can never become fast or powerful. People race anything, so I can’t say that there will never be competitions. Maybe someone has some insight as to how that might look. I...

    Cane Creek eeSilk Suspension Stem and Seat Post

    I have been using a Cane Creek Carbon eeSilk suspension seat post on my Yamaha Cross Core for a little more than 1,000 miles. Besides being nice looking, (my opinion), and light weight, it also works flawlessly. I never notice any movement, but I immediately noticed that the ride was much...

    Keeping it Legal for the Common Good, Staying Within the Legal Classes

    Through various activities, I have seen the Government implement tighter restrictions and penalties, not because the average participant was acting badly, but because of the few that were pushing the boundaries, and the authorities pushed back. Unfortunately, when the pendulum swings back, it...

    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    My hope here is that we can share the benefits that we derive from a cycling GPS and share tips and tricks as well as our experiences, good or bad. I was an old school pilot and sailer, (pre GPS). I took pride in my navigational skills and I still rely on them when I kayak, (chart, watch...

    Yamaha Supply Line Issues, No Wheel Until at Least September

    I had a mishap with my Cross Core a few days ago. It was a transporting accident and it took out my rear rim. I couldn’t find one in stock anywhere, so I reached out to Yamaha and they told me to call their customer service number, which I did. The person at customer service told me that I...

    Horn, Bell or Voice, how to warn others of your presence and intentions

    Within a thread about throttles, the conversation seems to have veered of toward horns, bells and verbal signaling, so maybe it’s time to open it up for discussion.

    Yamaha Cross Core Brake Issue

    Disclaimer, I am not a bicycle mechanic. I was a mechanical engineer and I have built high end mountain and road bikes, including the wheels, but I am not a professional bicycle mechanic and I make no claim to be an expert. My wife and I both have Yamaha Cross Cores. Both had spongy feeling...

    Happy to be among you

    I am an older, (OK, old), roadie/mountain biker that said that he would never have any interest in an ebike, (then I rode one). I won’t give up my road bike yet, but I have to admit that I was wrong and that my new Yamaha Cross Core is a lot of fun and I can ride with my wife again, (we can use...
