    Shipping Container of New Biktrix FS Model Stolen.. Help track down the thieves.

    So just to be clear, there are not any of this particular model legitimately on the street yet? Nobody has received one that they purchased from you? So if we see this model in yellow today (4/20) it is one of the stolen?

    Juggernaut Ultra DUO 3 in blue, arrived more purple, Biktrix made it right.

    Read the email about valuing my feedback and waiting for my feedback before issuing the GC. As you are aware I left neutral feedback and no GC was issued. Note this all occurred before the $450 refund was issued or even discussed. Not that I would need the GC anyway as I am no longer going to do...

    Juggernaut Ultra DUO 3 in blue, arrived more purple, Biktrix made it right.

    In my opinion, this issue is entirely your fault. IMHO, you are the one that posts misleading photos on your website. How hard would it be to post authentic photos that accurately depict the colors of what your selling?

    Why not donate the money I paid you to the Maui Strong foundation to help the fire victims here? https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong

    Juggernaut Ultra DUO 3 in blue, arrived more purple, Biktrix made it right.

    The overlay photo I posted speaks for itself, not at all as described on your website. You gave me the refund so you would not have to deal with a chargeback, so don't come here and tell lies. Here's an idea, post more accurate pictures of what you're selling so you don't continue to have this...

    When Maui Calls....

    We are all good and the house too. We live in central Maui were there were no fires. Incomprehensible how fast the entire town of Lahaina was consumed by the firestorm. The gusts on Tuesday were above 60 mph. West Maui is isolated by the mountains so there is really only a two-lane road to the...

    Cane Creek Thudbuster ST G4 clamps are poorly designed

    I am ordering the B67! Had a chance to try a friends Brooks Flyer and liked it, but the width of the B67 will suit me better I think.

    looking to buy an infinity saddle

    There are other saddles with similar designs in the $80-$150 price range online. Similar in terms of the openings on the seat to create a hammock effect to relieve pressure on sit bones. Doubt these knock offs are hand made with Italian leather though.

    Problem with new saddle fitting

    Try a 3-4 mm layer of tightly wound duct tape on each rail just at the clamp points, not the whole rail. I use the black color, so it does not look too cheesy. Solved the issue. If you apply it anywhere other than the clamp points the tape will unwind eventually.

    Cane Creek Thudbuster ST G4 clamps are poorly designed

    Ok, applied black duct tape to the rails at the clamp points, wrapped tightly to a 3-4mm thickness. Now the clamps work better at the recommended torque. Should a $179 suspension seat post need duct tape to work properly??

    Cane Creek eeSilk Suspension Stem and Seat Post

    I had to regularly apply mineral oil to the bushing to stop the squeaking.

    Cane Creek eeSilk Suspension Stem and Seat Post

    I have the same issue; problem is the clamp design pinches the seat rails horizontally instead of clamping down on them vertically. If you over torque the clamp bolt your flirting with disaster should it snap while your going fast.

    Sprung seat suggestion for Spec' Tero 3

    The Brooks flyer is a very sturdy sprung saddle made with a high-quality leather which will break-in and form to your specific anatomy over time. It is also seamless so there is no stitching that can irritate your skin. Around $100 on Amazon.

    Sprung seat suggestion for Spec' Tero 3

    I would be careful with a noseless seat. Most assume their hands gripping the handlebars is how a rider controls a bike, but gripping the seat nose with your thighs is important as well, particularly on descents.

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    Ya, I do use padded shorts if it's a long ride. The Brooks saddles are very good, and we don't have LBS's on Maui with a library of bike seats where you could get fitted. But the issue you brought up is exactly why I was wondering if it's not just better to get the unsprung B17. I mean I paid...

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    Roger that, don't think I mentioned anything about a seat post dropper. Thing is I have no need or desire to get a full suspension bike with my style of riding and the terrain I prefer, so why spend the extra money? No, rest assured my friend, I bought exactly what I wanted. Plus, you can't...

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    Wow, this is a very informative thread. I am currently on my own Ass-to-Saddle journey in search of butt Nirvana. What I can confirm from my experience, as others have stated here, there is no point in even attempting to solve this problem while you are injured because you can't feel anything...

    Cane Creek Thudbuster ST G4 clamps are poorly designed

    Recent Amazon purchase but having issues with the clamping mechanism in terms of securing the saddle. You have to severely over-torque the clamp bolt (25Nm instead of the 16Nm recommended) or the rails will work loose. Problem is this Thudbuster clamps to the rails horizontally as opposed to...
