You too @Powerslider. Watch that you don't slide right off your Taiwanese high horse as the distinction between China and Taiwan might vanish before you even hit the ground. And while communism, propaganda, and the systematic oppression of the Uyghurs are issues that the entire world should be...

Jesus dude, stop bashing Amflow just because they can't keep up with your schizophrenic purchasing behavior. You keep buying and cancelling then buying and cancelling, all while paying in the most bizarre way possible (carrier pigeon?). How did you even do that? Of course they're going to have...

You wrote on Tuesday that you will someday own an Avinox bike, but by Wednesday you had already bought one, had the frame replaced twice, sold it, and then bought a Trek?

There's a fair bit of misinformation in this EMTB article, why is the author not noted? You cannot simply "dig in the app" to enable Class 3 45km/h limits unless the bike was digitally registered in a country where this is legal. A Trek Rail+ is not a compelling alternative for people who...

If your cable just slipped on the set screw and unraveled a bit, you can likely just twist it back into shape just fine - it doesn't need to be un-kinked in the set screw region, just twisted properly inboard of that. But if it is mangled beyond recognition, you can just trim it a little...

Curious why OP milled out a couple millimeters then? Is it only the Eagle 38T that doesn't fit, while the T-Type does?

Wow, nice work! I'm just going to buy the SRAM 38 when it comes out in July and bend it. 😋 How does 40T get along with the computer? I'd expect it to throw some errors, but maybe Avinox isn't as uptight as Bosch, whose tamper detection algorithms will immediately disable the motor if you fart...

Thanks for confirming the power reduction, it cuts so dramatically and at such a high state of charge that I was worried I might have a bad cell or something. It's a big change from my Bosch which delivered full power all the way down to 3% and then nearly full power from 3% to 0%. It's odd...

@Amflow_Support I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but is it normal for the M1 to switch into limp mode at 7% charge? It's not temperature related (Mild 3 hour cruise in 20C weather) and no errors appear on screen, but every time I hit 7%, the power in trail mode suddenly drops to ~100W and...

It's exceptionally high quality, perhaps even too high. I'd prefer something lighter, slimmer, and cheaper with fewer features. The zippers are excellent and zip up into an impressive dirt/water resistant seam that is almost invisible. But yes, the dangly traditional metal zipper pull tabs are a...

Ah, found it! on the Avinox site. The animation shows the gears being brought together incorrectly but it does show the misaligned/aligned states of the thin black (Delirin?) anti-backlash gear:

Amflow had a nice animation of the M2S drive-side gears on their site but I think they may have deleted it. I wish I had screencapped it because it showed the gearing perfectly. Anyway, the final stage is now helical, as advertised, so there are no longer any straight cut gears anywhere. The...

Yes, my bike also displays ~1 mph above my actual speed, and cuts power at 27mph while the display reads 28mph. Being new to bicycles, I suspect DJI doesn't know the difference between radius and diameter. The radius of a 27.5" tire is around 13.3" when you sit on it, not 13.75" as it came out...

It's not fair to simply Google "the best battery cell" and compare it to some startup mountain bike brand. Molicel is a very expensive boutique manufacturer specializing in class-leading performance at the expense of many other metrics, such as expense. You can't buy a car, cordless drill, or...

Jeez, that Higo A cable would be worth thousands of dollars in the US if you could find a way to smuggle it in. Interesting that they went to 4 pins though. Existing AXS derailleurs have no way to use the pins but perhaps the S1000, Shimano, and/or future systems will have direct...
