the correct term is amish bike

there is only one roam but 2 bolts. bolt 2 is most likely the one you have…

rides under trees and complains that the device is neither accurate nor able calculating the speed correctly. oh the irony.

(your speedometer problem can be fixed by using a proper sensor for that on your wheel)

sheesh, don’t let wade see this

not the same but same direction: https://www.adidas.de/five-ten-freerider-pro-mid-mountainbiking-schuh/H02024.html

just zip tie the crank to the chainring on your ebike to lube your chain cam, problem solved…

complains about losing a battery on the trail - drives his car to ride his bike

claims to be interested in the environment, releases beer in cans…

this needs apple find my integration

NO RX INSERTS, NO CARE

wasn‘t there a totw season pass you could upgrade your bike park pass with? is it day passes only now?

no problems at all in switzerland, most stuff is available with next day delivery at our distributors

I've found the 7iDP Sam Hill pads to be the best at staying put. The Sastec insert is removable for washing and the surrounding padding gives more shin and side-of-knee protection than most.

As far as pants go, the Nukeproof Blackline are really great value if you're already placing a Wiggle/CRC order. Close fitting but super thin and stretchy, keeps pads even more secure.

i also have the sam hill pads, they stay on all day, feel just like some cycling knee warmers

I think people buy all of their shit on line to get a smokin deal and when it doesnt fit they can't return it but they did get a great deal on knee padz that don't protect, IMO they all fit different so go to a bike store to try on all the knee padz to get some that fit and pay list

IME non bike specific shorts or pants blow out pretty quick

why can’t you return it? don’t you have consumer protection laws??

id chose the lightest supplest version i can get my hands on

gravelking slick or ss

This^

If mainly road with light gravel thrown in the ss is fantastic as the centre runs smooth on roads and you can turn the bike on the side nobs to get bite cornering on gravel. 

I have the sk on right now and it is noticeably slower on roads and I don't need the extra tread on gravel 95% of the time. The side treads are identical, it's only the centre that is different so really you are just getting better climbing and braking traction on steep gravel with the sk.

yep, and you don’t have the annoying noise of the sk when it picks up fine sand and throws it against the downtube

Ha, I had completely missed that that Orbea is an e-bike the first time I looked at that photo, I just thought the water bottle looked funny ;-)

Very nice spacious workshop as well, Sethimus.

i won’t use the range extender much. after a few tests i expect 1500-1800m vertical meters if i use it mostly in eco/trail. saturdays ride i used the boost mode for about 700m and still managed to get out 1250m vertical with around 10% left. 

those light ebikes will be growing in numbers in the coming years. they ride so much more like a non motor bike and having less capacity you automatically try to reduce the output

Other than the pointy downtube bend (which could just be the photo) that Transalpes looks cleeeeeean.

it uses a super tiny motor from a swiss motor company, they also provided the motors for the last mars rover. sadly i couldnt get a good deal in them

my 2022 ride, just build up <3

Nice looking ride. That’s the most bike looking e-bike I think I’ve seen. I had to zoom in to confirm it.

check out the bh i-lynx

or the transalpes e1:

both also members of these new light emtb breed with reduced battery and output. there will be even more when bikes with the new fazua motor will be out.
