I have a '22 lyrik ultimate with a DSD runt. I haven't found the sweet spot with it yet but I feel like it's an improvement.

Great writing. Will there be a long term review?

I just ordered disco's ceramic pro pads. Have you tried these pads?

2022 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay Review - March 2, 2022, 5:05 p.m.

Awesome review. This is the most compelling ebike on the market IMO. There is a local in my area with powerplay altitude. Going to feel an extra tinge of jealousy next time he rockets past me on a climb.

Good brakes and decent gearing. Everything else is a luxury.

Love the structure of your review. Well done. Now I want a Range!

The supposed improvement to drivetrain lifespan is pretty nuts

Find yourself a good PT. You're going to become imbalanced and tight as a result of favoring different movement patterns and postures to compensate for the injury. A good PT will do movement screens to assess your progress. There's more than just fixing your Achilles.

On the bright side, this can give you the opportunity to correct and strengthen your entire body. You could come back a stronger rider than before.

I took up daily stretching at the start of lockdown. As a lifelong runner, my hips were tight. I didn't know what I was missing until I experienced the improved mobility on the bike.

Jailbreak Your Rear Hub (or don't) - Jan. 17, 2022, 12:58 p.m.

Totally. Usable range is more important than total range.

For all the money bikers spend on weight savings, it's pretty ridiculous that these huge 12 speed cassettes are even a thing. They just add a ton of unsprung rotational mass to the rear suspension.

I have been thinking that a high pivot bike would let you run an even smaller chainring so you could further shrink your cassette.
