    Atherton s170e vs Orbea Wild LT

    High Rock Ruti Perhaps I've missed it, but I can't find a riding review of Atherton other than an Atherton being the rider, a ton of reviewers standing beside the bike singing it's praises, no one riding it, do I remember correctly that the first run is 50 bikes? I own beautiful Pole gold...

    Body armour. Again!

    High Rock Ruti Rib armor may reduce injury, nothing will prevent if you superman flat on to your chest or hit a protrusion, a rock or root. The force of the impact will merely transfer through the armor directly to the unfortunate rib, bone, joint, skin......Jesus what a injury list. Starwars...

    ECVT/MGU: The Great Belt vs. Chain Debate

    High Rock Ruti Chains are so good that I carry spare master links and a complete new chain in my backpack, I'll tolerate two breaks with master link repairs, before installing a new chain. Chains can't handle the stress of 600 watts never mind 1300 watts. Next bike; motor gear box and belt...

    Orbea Lifetime Warranty - only on paper

    High Rock Ruti 2021 Pole Voima two cracked rear suspension rocker arms they had one, Leo said okay, also $250, now he's gone silent. Worse yet "nothings covered gone bankrupt" worser still he's ignoring us now. BTW 7050 aluminum cannot be welded. $10,000 usd down the drain. Warm Regards...

    Chainsaw and bag for clearing trails?

    High Rock Ruti Nice pack, I've successfully hidden my chainsaws many times without loss, black trash bag all day/night long. My pack carries the saw inside which is a disadvantage compared to your pack on the shelf "exteriorally" (not a real word). Would love to hear from anyone using a...

    Stone the heretic. Unpopular opinions

    High Rock Ruti Mud Guards I ride 12 months a year.....oh except this year, snowed in for 6 weeks. The bike looks goofy with fenders, the rider looks goofy without fenders. Compared to my excessive body armor, the fenders barley registers. 72 this August, new bike, new peddle strikes, new...

    Canyon Strive On upgrade: Fox 38 to Zeb Ultimate 180mm fork worth it?

    High Rock Ruti Lucky enough to have new Pivot Amp'd, the $12k USD model, it has the new Zeb ultimate. Reportedly plusher than the new 38, can't prove it by me. No volume spacers, compression off 30-35% sag (Zeb runs much higher pressure than the fox), rebound mucked with, plush in not my...

    Which one to get?

    High Rock Ruti Just ordered the new Pivot Amped $12K, 3 1/2 (Piermont Bikes upstate NY) hours away, but the local shop JRA Cycles outside of Boston (great shop). I'd save money if you're just getting back, a used Amflow would be my suggestion. Under commit until you're sure your back for...

    Loose crank bosch ebike

    High Rock Ruti My E13's had to be replaced with another brand. They stripped out, E13 on my brand new Orbea Wild Team Ltd. E13 refused to honor warranty, after buying 3 times, I gave up! I used Race Face, I think and the reason I not sure is, I've never had any cranks loosen ever, since the...

    Decision between Amflow PX Pro, Pivot Shuttle AM and Pivot Shuttle AMpd.

    High Rock Ruti Pivot for sure, rode the $9500 amped last week, wow what a drive motor. I bought the first shuttle, gave it to a friend and it still lives 10 years old now. The DW rear suspension link is fantastic. I was able to ride back to back 4 ebikes at an event including the the bikes...

    Puzzled by Service from my LBS

    High Rock Ruti My chains and cassettes last between 450 and 650 miles occasionally I can get 2 chains to 1 cassette. My experience (only), e bikes eat chains and cassettes I do not take good care of them but with nearly a horsepower (750 watts) Bosch CXR 650 watts the wear seems...

    Scared about reliability

    High Rock Ruti I had a Brose rebuilt at the US Bearingman's Tennessee location. Looking at $400 or so with a two year warranty. Brose motors are absolute crap 2022 carbon pro 4 motors less than 1500 miles. On the other hand the bike is fantastic nobody had the refinement of the Levo, also...
