    New Feature: Bike Finder

    Incredible tool. It would be handy to add a link to the manufacturer website on the detailed summary page.

    Article Video: Teewing Flux 180mm, high-pivot, Avinox EMTB first look and ride

    I would prefer a new bike like this without an idler and with a 48v system and will keep on riding my old beater for now. Specialized has both nailed but too pricey for now.

    Coil forks 🤔

    ACS3 Fork Coil Conversion Kit from Mountain Bike Suspension and Mountain Bike Suspension Tuning I put one of these in my pike fork. The stiction was the most improved plus it overall works better for me and no more air so very little maintenance. I would like to try a lighter spring than the one...

    Oven of the Day

    Beware of cacti. Falling into them is to be avoided. I had one snag my glove a few years ago and was in pain for weeks on end and could not remove the tiny thorns. Even had a Dr look at it and told me you just have to wait it out. Thanks Doc.

    2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid 160 750 SL Review

    I updated my originally 27.5 bike to a mullet and like it. Seemed a bit different at first with the 29 wheel up front but got used to it very quickly. I ran 2.8 on the rear and just bumped it up to a 3.0 with a 40mm rim. Helps with pedal strikes and rim protection IMO. Original motor still runs...

    Shorter Cranks

    I am 5'10 195lbs with A 32" inseam and ride a shimano e8000 motor bike. I went from 175 to 170 crank arms which were only $50 on ebay. I would have gone with 165 if I could of found them for a reasonable $$$. I mainly changed for less pedal strikes and some other hype I watched on you tube...

    Shimano e8000 motor with half assist power

    I suggest to reset the assist to factory settings and only use SL for checking battery health. I use etube for any adjustment of the power levels. My E8000 system did not like adjusting the power with SL. And if you have an external battery like mine I use a pick to pull the connector pins on...

    Bike Bells 🔔🔔🔔

    IMO, Ear buds are dangerous to the hearing when played too loud plus hikers should know that there are cyclists so what are they thinking? Anyway, I always slow down to a walking pace unless they see me, have a bell that always dings and say "rider rider" on your left if I am approaching. Most...
