    Bike impossible to ride due to resistence

    Should the chain be on the other side of the metal tab? Make sure the chain isn't rubbing on this tab.

    Larger Chainring

    I don't think you'll find anything larger that 48t with a 104 BCD. I had to go to ebay and found Shimano made a 52t, 4 bolt chainring. It's not a 104 BCD, but the chainring came with the proper spider. Starting from a stop isn't that bad. especially if you shifted to a lower gear and get...

    How does torque sensing work?

    Torque sensing pedal assist is the closest thing to feeling like a bike. The difference is you feel like superman. Cadence sensing on the other hand, just detects whether the pedals are moving and go up to the preset speed depending on the assist level. Torque sensing detects how much power you...

    Finally found one! XTR 52T, 4 bolt chainring for a mtn ebike

    I wanted something larger than 48T, 4 bolt chainring. I wanted to go around 28 mph and not spin my legs too fast. I didn’t want to go with a 5 bolt chainring because they’re meant for road bikes. I have a mountain bike. It’ll look funny if I have a 5 bolt chainring on a mountain bike. After...

    4th flat in 2 months

    what if I told you that flat tires are a thing of the past? would you believe that? it's called tubeless tires (not the "slime" type). i've been running tubeless for over a year and ride 2-3 times a week with no flats. the only thing you have to do is check the tire pressure and check to make...

    Happy with my 2015/16 base Turbo...

    hmm... are you sure about "Top speed is around 35mph at cadence of 100 rpm" with the 44t chainring and 11t in the back? When I use the gear calculator, I get around 29 mph.

    How I put a Bionx brake sensor on a Shimano XT disc brake lever

    This one was a tough one. There was not a flat surface to attach the sensor and have it be aligned with the magnet button. So I heated and bent a piece of ABS plastic to 90 degrees. I attached the Bionx sensor to it and then mounted the brakes to the front of the fluid reservoir. Lastly i...

    Brakes still squeaking

    If you tried everything and the brakes still squeak, you might need to buy new pads. Another thing... is it just the rear? My rear would start squeaking even though I put new pads in. It turns out, my rear disc brake mounts were too weak. They would flex ever so slightly when you hit the brakes...
