Shimano XT 11-speed!

Stick to the beginner trails until you get comfortable and slowly progress to more difficult/technical trails. The motor is a two-edged sword. The extra power lets you ride things which would be very difficult normally, but you can also be riding at an 'unnatural' speed which makes losing...

They are all overpriced, but those especially so. With the price of cush core I guess you do want to take care of them.

I imagine it's less about getting air into the tire and more about not showing up the insert.

I'm around 240 lb right now and have no problem.

Had my Felt Redemption for a few months/500 miles and can't see any reason that I would purchase another bike. There are things I might tweak, namely I'd like a battery charging port on the side instead of underneath, and a USB connector would be nice but it's generally been an awesome bike...

I have had the exact same bike for a few months, but an XL. I am almost six foot two and it fits me well. I have tuned my motor a bit but go about 35 to 40 miles on a charge, and I am a bit heavy. Don’t know about increasing the shock travel. Enjoy your bike, they are great!

You already seem to be somewhat adept at using the internet...

If that is the case then I think I would just stick with the garden hose. I know GMBN is sponsored by Muc-Off so that’s probably why people are more aware of them these days but I’m not particularly impressed.

I actually purchased mine from a bicycle shop in Wisconsin that was selling it through Amazon. My Amazon credit card gave me 18 months free financing, and I paid my local shop $100 to assemble the bicycle as required for the warranty to be valid. It is all Shimano and Rockshox, other than the...

Sounds like a PITA. Got my chain-checker tool on order.

Yep, bricked my computer as soon as I brought it home so couldn't ride all weekend. ST Unlocker is much more useful for tuning, and ST Ride is a good replacemote for Shimano's E-Ride app as well as for Strava. You do have to upload the GPX files into Strava manually, though.

I didn't really see a question, but good luck!

Been very happy with my Felt that I bought about six weeks ago. All Shimano and other name-brand components so should be able to get it serviced anywhere. Some brands (Specialized/Trek among them) are notorious for their proprietary components. Incidentally, I purchased through Amazon and was...

I have been able to connect my Android phone, default, and also iPad.

Lots of prime riding near you!

Where do you live?

Why is it that whenever someone inquires about a bike because they want to explore mountain biking people always want to equip them to ride the most extreme trails? There is a lot of fun to be had on a basic ebike, and many trails don't even require full-suspension. I love my full-suspension but...

I'll second that. Even if you purchase mail order, make sure it's a brand with major components that can be serviced by a LBS. I purchased my Felt online but the components are all Shimano, and my LBS assembled it for me (It was more involved than I expected). A guy I know loved his Luna, but he...
