4A charger for $85. Shipping included up to $15.

This battery has about 30 cycles on it. I generally don't fully charge or discharge. The Cannondale cover fits a variety of bikes, and is black.

SOLD

I got my bike back from REI. The mechanic found that the creaking sound I have been hearing is coming from where the battery and frame meet, and can be recreated by simply pushing near the seam. It doesn't seem like a big deal, whereas a loose motor bolt could be a big deal if left unaddressed...

You guys have convinced me that single-speed with a powerful motor is the way to go.

I really wish the Topstone had a gates carbon drive paired with internal geared hub. It would be worth the premium cost. I hate chains, and I hate derailleurs. I'd go single speed, but that doesn't make sense with a sub 2 kW ebike.

Two pints plus eggs benedict. I only charged for 2 hours, and it was just enough to get me home. All total I did 122 miles over nine hours. Some of it was straight up mountain biking, as well as carrying the bike up and down some stairs. I instantly passed out on the couch as soon as I got home...

I did about sixty miles from my house to North Bend, WA. I spent about thirty minutes trying to find a place to charge, so I could get home. Luckily, I succeeded!!! There are these outlets along the main st so that Christmas lights can be easily installed. It's also right next to a restaurant...

A few days ago I was pedaling at high speed, shifted, and threw the chain. It wedged between the cassette and chainstain, gouging the frame.

A few people have noticed with these bikes that a bolt inside the motor housing can work itself loose and start to make noise when pedaling. I think that has happened to me. It seems to be gradually getting more pronounced. I guess I'll take it into REI and have take off the motor cover and take...

Mine has held up pretty well.

The GravelKings I currently have on my bike have surprisingly good traction in a variety of conditions. They have a unique textured tread. The one exception is any amount of mud. They don't cut it in mud. I ordered the GravelKing SK, which have the knobby tread. They were on sale for $35 a...

The class 1 topstone I first had, those bolt holes had some type of plastic bolt in them. The class 3 I now have had open bolt holes, meaning water or anything could get into the battery compartment. If I had to guess those holes are for mounting some type of plastic down tube protector. I just...

This is the final iteration of my bike packing setup. I have my tent, groundsheet, and sleeping pad in the handlebar bag. I have my sleeping bag in the seatpost bag. The spare battery and chargers fit in the triangle bag. A few items, including water, will be carried in a backpack.

I was dealing with an atypically unhelpful REI at Alderwood. REI itself is generally on the up and up. However, I have had not-so-great experiences at the Alderwood, and Tacoma, locations. I'm too old to let anyone get over on me. I don't have time to waste not going beast mode. However, I...

The common denominator is always me. REI was unhelpful and unresponsive until I took the posture you abhor. I understand that people misunderstand their rights and are reluctant to stand up for themselves in a manner seen as litigious. Unfortunately, this only emboldens various entities to take...

These are definitely the "pure slick" version. These tires setup tubeless definitely roll with less friction. The bike feels noticably lighter when I pick it up. I imagine I will get a mile or two more per charge with the lessened rolling resistance. Speaking of charge I had a 4A Bosch charger...

My LBS ordered the wrong tires!!!! There are two versions of the Panaracer Gravelking 650x48. One is basically slick, the other is more knobby, and appropriate for gravel. My LBS ordered the slick version. Oh, well. I guess I'll ride these for awhile. I should get better efficiency.

I dropped my bike off at my LBS for service. I'm having Panaracer Gravelking 650 x 48c tires installed tubeless, along with a 80 mm stem in place of the 100 mm. They did not have a 180mm Shimano icetech rotor in stock, so that will have to wait. Bike stores in general are super busy, and I...

These bikes are heavy. I live in a hilly environment, and I brake a lot. Thus, I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to upgrade brake rotors. Any suggestions? I've never had a bike with disc brakes prior to this. It looks like Alaskan may have upgraded his from the stock offering.
