Hi all, Per the subject line, just wanted to share a few things I learned at my first-ever bike fitting today. 1. The first thing I learned is this: get one done! I had been considering getting a bike fit done for a while, just for general usefulness and for my own knowledge, but hadn’t...

Hi all, Now that we’re getting close to winter, I’m considering getting an indoor trainer. The one I’m looking at - the Wahoo Kickr Rollr - doesn’t have a power meter built-in, so you have to use a separate power meter if you want to use it with any training apps. (Before you ask: the reason I...

Hi all, In planning for an upcoming trip to Chicago, I came across info about the Lakefront Trail: https://www.bobbysbikehike.com/blog/chicago-lakefront-bike-trail-and-bike-rental-guide/ Although I’ve been to Chicago many (many) times and am quite familiar with the city in general, I’ve never...

Hi all, New owner of a Trek+ 4s low step here! If I understand things correctly, I have three official options if I want to increase the range for long rides: 1. The Range Boost battery; 2. The TQ HOR Range Extender; 3. A spare Powertube 500. Is that correct? If so, then I’d love to hear...

Hi all, I recently had the handlebars raised on my bike in order to have a somewhat more upright riding position (the bike is a Vintage Electric Cafe, if that matters). That’s working great in and of itself; but I noticed on my first ride with the new handlebar height that my position on the...

Hi all, My Vintage Electric Cafe bike has developed a metallic knocking sound (and accompanying pulsation that I can feel through the handlebars) coming from the front wheel when applying the front brake. It only happens with the front brake; if I apply the rear brake alone, I do not get the...

I have a Vintage Electric Cafe bike. Any suggestions for a small-ish but useful trunk bag that (1) would fit/connect easily to the top of the rear rack, preferably with some kind of quick release and (2) would better match the aesthetic of the Cafe than the black trunk bag I’m holding in my hand...

Wasn’t sure exactly where to post this since there isn’t a dedicated Lemond forum. Anyway, hoping for some input: I bought a Vintage Electric Cafe bike a few months ago and really enjoy it. I wanted to get a second e-bike both just ‘cause, but also because, due to some pre-arthritis in one hip...

Does anyone know how much the Vado Step-Through IGH and Step-Through regular/non-IGH models each weigh and how much their respective removable batteries weigh? I was surprised to not be able to find these specs on the Specialized site or by Googling. (But perhaps I’m just bad at searching: I...

Hello, I have a Vintage Electric Cafe. I’d like to raise the handlebars by maybe 1.5-2 inches to get in a bit more of an upright position and decrease the reach. I already have the seat forward as far as it will go and the seat is positioned correctly in terms of height (I have long-ish legs...
