    Any negatives to buying a Bulls older model like Bulls Iconic Evo TR 2 ?

    I bought a Bulls Iconic Evo 2 speed in the fall. I can highly recommend it! It is much better than my over priced 2019 R+M charger , but not as fun as my Full Suspension Moustache Samedi. I paid more for the other bikes and so the Bulls currently seems like a bargain. The only thing I did to...

    I spent the month of November in Encinitas a while ago. Nice spot. We Went to the Del Mar racetrack for Thanksgiving dinner on the patio. Torrey Pines park was cool.

    I carry a Powertube spare in an Ortlieb pannier with the commuter insert for extra padding. I have no issues but I do suggest using a few zip ties securing the bottom corners of the panniers to the chainstays to avoid the clip jumping out of position on rough trails, This week I hit a washed...

    If you want to go fast and far and carry a lot of gear you still need two batteries. The price seems very fair for a bike with those quality bits.

    Bike tires? Puncture proof? Skid proof?

    I must agree with your estimation of those Super Moto - X . I am a big Schwalbe fan but I tossed those tires that came new with one bike.

    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    Nice Ebike! My personal favorites are Raceface Chester pedals (on 3 bikes) , Ergon GS1 grips ( on my FS bike ), Serfas RX saddle (on all 4 bikes).

    Ouch! That is a nice looking bike you have there and it looks like new. But I thought Haibike had pulled out of North America years ago?

    Question: If the back wheel goes sideways in an emergency stop ,which brake am I pulling too hard? I have been told different things by different people. Some say 50/50 braking pressure and some say 60/40 front /back and some say 60/40 back /front ?

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    It took me a long time to convince my wife to get rid of the handlebar mirror and switch to the Take a Look " compact " eyeglass mirror but now she would never go back. The field of vision is exponentially greater and you can easily pan behind you with a slight turn of the head.

    You will surely enjoy the mid drive experience once get used to really using your gears more on hills and weaning yourself off the throttle. I started with a hub motor bike but now I am picking up my fourth mid-drive on Sunday. Kudos to you for trying to go with a beautiful super light bike...

    Which of these 3 bikes would you make better use of:

    Bike 1: Tern GSD with Bike 2: Bulls Iconic evo TR 1 . Bike 3: Moustache Weekend dual eq ? Do not use cost as a factor .

    Share a recent frustrating experience that made you want to switch bikes!

    Ya there is no substitute for power. I am used to a Bosch CX now and I could not pull the trigger on a new bike with a smaller motor.

    When I was a teen I borrowed my uncles high quality ten speed ( without permission) to cycle out to New Westminster with my friends in search of firecrackers . We had no luck so we headed to Surrey over the Patullo bridge. On the approach to the bridge I managed to get the front wheel wedged...
