    Bosch CX vs DJI Avinox: motor comparison and enduro picks

    Really glad we are plowing down forests to build data centers so that we can talk in circles with robots about stupid bike questions.

    🚴 Why Don't You Ride to Work or for Everyday Commitments?

    This is one of the many reasons why having a dedicated (and not fancy) commuter bike is the way to go.

    2025 Norco Sight VLT CX

    Welcome to the club! Fork/shock setup for sure, combined with riding technique. Most common cause for nose dive is not committing/popping off the lip. Try approaching a jump that's giving you issues with less speed, and then popping/jumping harder yourself to make up for it and clear the gap and...

    🚴 Why Don't You Ride to Work or for Everyday Commitments?

    No option for "Because I use a different bike for commuting" There's a right tool for each job. Riding my fancy emtb with relatively short interval service needs would be quite wasteful. By using the right tool for the right job, all the tools end up lasting much longer. I actually have two...

    Scared about reliability

    Just FYI they make quick links for easy trail side chain repairs, quite a bit less dead weight in your pack.

    So frustrated that i didn't wait for the PX

    Most people who are serious about mountain biking don't buy Amflows.

    Optimal tyre pressure for commuting on MTB tyres?

    I'd go so far as to buy a separate commuter bike personally. Any basic hub motor commuter bike will get you to and from work, no need to be putting this wear and tear on your high end mountain bike.

    Scared about reliability

    Sounds like you are looking at the old first gen SL brose bikes with 35nm? If that is enough power for you those appear to be one of the most rock solid options for reliability. Lots of complains about the noise, but pretty much zero complaints out there about actual problems. Probably because...

    Arm pump/hand fatigue help?

    A lot like golf if you happen to play... a light grip is pretty key in mountain biking for a lot of reasons, including arm pump. Will also improve your general bike handling and corning . First instinct is to grip the living daylights out of the bar to maintain control, but you really only want...

    PinkBike Freak-Out on April 9th?

    You truly do not get it and you clearly are not done arguing.

    PinkBike Freak-Out on April 9th?

    Case closed, except in the opposite way that you seem to think. If the bike exceeds those power limits then it does not qualify as class 1. Pretty simple. The regulation pertains to the bikes maximum power, not to a setting available in the bike. That's like saying you can own a fully automatic...

    So frustrated that i didn't wait for the PX

    It's wild that you are this obsessed with having the "best" bike, and yet you bought a no-name Chinese knockoff bike. It was pretty clear at the beginning that the Amflow frames were just a vessel to display the motor while they waited to form partnerships with real bike brands. They made no...

    2025 Norco Sight VLT CX

    The outer bolt with the wide flange is not a cover it is the actual bolt. Agree, I'd pull it apart and check it out. If you aren't sure what's what, pull the other side apart to compare. Just checked mine to confirm and it does not spin freely.

    2025 Norco Sight VLT CX

    Ya, most likely not really a warranty thing so much as an assembly issue. Would make sense to hold your shop accountable if they were closer, but since they are not I think you'll just need to figure it out on your own/with help of a local shop. If you chase down the issue and it turns to be a...

    2025 Norco Sight VLT CX

    Really tough to diagnose creaking online. Any competent shop (Norco dealer or otherwise) can help you, only benefit of going where you purchased is they might be more inclined to do some amount of free labor. For a 4 hour round trip I'd rather just pay the labor at a local shop if you have one...
