    Kindernay versus 11-42T for Hydra, worth the money?

    While I have no experience with it yet, I'm thinking more like 100,000 miles

    Kindernay versus 11-42T for Hydra, worth the money?

    I did end up selecting it on the order. I'm sure I'll love it when I try it.

    26x4 tires

    @pushkar Are you mounting fenders on the newer version of the Crosstour? The photos don't show them. Also, what is the option regarding 26x4 versus 26x4.8. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts and input.

    26x4 tires

    Thank you! That was the size I was interested in. For general running on pavement, trails and single track which size (4.0 v 4.8) do you think is preferable?

    26x4 tires

    Yes, it does look like there is really no room for play there. I'll wait to hear if others have a different experience or a small change in frame dimensions on the rear but it looks like you're spot on with that observation.

    26x4 tires

    I have a Crosstour on order with the 26 x 4 tire option. Based on how tight the parts supply seems to be getting, what width tires can I use on the rims that will come on the Crosstour? Am I restricted to just the 4" width or do I have a little room to play?

    I've narrowed it down to Hydra or Crosstour, what do you guys think the main pros/cons or differences between these 2 are?

    Looks like only the Ti is available now, if I was running a non-ebike the Ti might look good. With all the grips, shifters, brakes and throttle on the Crosstour, all that lovely Ti won't be seen.

    I'm guessing he'll say "yeah, heck yeah, lets go there and do this." Told ya.... Take a look at the Surly Moloco bar as well. I have the Jones H bar on another and while it's nice, it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

    Hydra - Pulled the Trigger

    Actually, I've moved my order over to the Crosstour. Same specs as before but now I'll have the Kindernay with the Gates Belt Drive from the get go. Combining that with the Dominion A4 brakes so I can stop before rolling into the swamp. I know from your earlier posts that you're looking for...

    I've narrowed it down to Hydra or Crosstour, what do you guys think the main pros/cons or differences between these 2 are?

    While only Pushkar can say for sure, I'm thinking an XL with 29's could be accomplished. I think the only limiting factor at the moment is the Kindernay being delayed 45-60 days due to shutdowns over the pond. Might have to make the rear triangle larger to accommodate the larger wheel but, it's...

    Looks close to mine, except I've got the short persons version and doing 26x4

    Actually Reed, I agree with you regarding the riding position and after talking with several people with more knowledge about my intended use they've said to head down the Kindernay path with belt drive now if possible. That said, I've changed my order to the Crosstour. In speaking with...

    Top Speed - Kinderlay versus Shimano

    I do not and Pushkar for liability reasons probably won't comment on it either. The Bafang M620 Ultra is capable with the right power and gearing of exceeding 40 MPH, I've witnessed it.

    Top Speed - Kinderlay versus Shimano

    No idea yet, still waiting for it to be built. I would expect in excess of 30 MPH though. I thought I caught a comment from someone on here that they were going 39 and that pegged their fun meter for the day. I cannot confirm that speed or capability though.

    I ordered the Kindernay option for the Hydra.

    Where’s my bike ? Why haven’t you shipped yet ?

    Possibly, but sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. As I recall while Job was patient, a lot of bad s*it came his way, coincidence? I think maybe not. :cool:

    Where’s my bike ? Why haven’t you shipped yet ?

    Doesn't it kinda seem like we are all Watt Wagon crack heads watching and waiting as the cook is making another batch of the good stuff in front of us on purpose just to keep us hooked. I do the same thing as Reed, I see the link and drop everything to go see what's there.

    Delivery and Pushkar shoutout

    Merle, I'm still waiting like most of us. My post was an inquiry regarding how the bike is shipped and what assembly is required once you receive it. The last part was just a Homage to Pushkar for the product and the way he conducts business. I think it's interesting how we all look at the...

    Delivery and Pushkar shoutout

    Quick question, once you receive your bike in the box, what setup or remaining build is required? Anything I need to know with regard to setup (brakes, Kindernay, Archon, etc) to complete the bike? Also, I just made a change from the Shimano to Kindernay and working through Pushkar for this is...
