    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    As another user said, if you are totally on your own with no chance of getting a new front triangle from Amflow, then fixing the crack is a pretty simple and cheap DIY repair, although it might not be super pretty looking. If you aren't DIY inclined, there are a lot of companies doing carbon...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    A lot of the super cheap "premium brand" products on Ali are just straight up counterfeits, rather than real ones that may or may not have failed Q/C and then were diverted "out the back" of the factory. Specialized did a big expose of this a few years ago, cutting apart "Specialized Tarmac"...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    Transferability of warranty depends to some degree on the brand, and also the local laws in the purchase region. Having said that, even if the car is not covered by the original warranty, per se, a manufacturer is not free of responsibility for major product flaws, particularly if they are...

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    Yeah, I've seen the same type of thing from both Specialized and Santa Cruz, and know people who will only buy from those brands for exactly that reason...because they know they'll be taken care of if there is a problem. Both those companies will go out of their way to figure something out and...

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

    Did the chain fall to the inboard or outboard side of the idler? If the gap between the idler and surrounding chainstay is unequal on each side, did it fall to the side with the bigger gap or the smaller one (I looked at your pics in an earlier post and it looked like the gap was bigger on the...

    Amflow general questions and answers

    Yes, that is correct. @Amflow_Support started the thread and was admirably responsive on it up until the beginning of 2026. Then the stopped answering, which was very disappointing. Even worse, they did not seem to make any sort of official announcement as to why they would not be participating...

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    There has been a lot of media from Eurobike over the past few days, so i can't recall where I saw it, but in one of the interviews relating to the Avinox gearbox/eCVT they said they were targeting late 2027, so on "2028" models (although model year designations are increasingly irrelevant). I...

    Is there a "Classifieds" section on here for forum members who want to sell used bikes?

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I was looking for a special section for classified ads, and didn't see that it was included in the "General" section. Cheers:) (y)

    Shimano EP6/EP8/EP801 compatible replacement motors — has anyone tried Gaobao?

    Is your Shimano motor broken, or do you just want to upgrade for some sort of enhanced performance? In regard to the latter situation, unfortunately, even if there were motors that fit your bike, the battery, display, and controller costs would be substantial. If you just have a trashed motor...

    Shimano EP6/EP8/EP801 compatible replacement motors — has anyone tried Gaobao?

    Hi Greg, can you double check that there are no Bafang motors that use the Shimano mounting bolt pattern? I am not super familiar with their offerings but thought I had heard reference to at least 1 of their models being compatible with Shimano mount frames, but perhaps I was misinformed. Either...

    Is there a "Classifieds" section on here for forum members who want to sell used bikes?

    I was interested in seeing if any forum members are selling bikes that could be well suited to my purposes, but I don't see any section for that in the categories on the main menu. Are there classifieds here on emtbforums?

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    A few of the retro randonneuring companies have started making new friction shifters, and some of the influencers in that world have been extolling the virtues of how they make you more "in tune" with your bike and require less maintenance, so that debate is still going on (albeit in a very...

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    A lot of the range depends on what power settings you are using, but 6k feet is a figure that a lot of people report for current motors with an 800wh battery, which is the largest currently available from Avinox. When the M2s motor launched, there was also talk about a new 900wh battery, but...

    Current Avinox MG Prototype Bikes Don't Support Battery Regen

    Hub motors have always been way more popular on road and commuter ebikes, whereas mid-drive has seemed to be the preferred solution for EMTBs. I have never been totally clear why, other than hub drives will add a lot of unsprung weight.

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    Your assertion only holds true if the "entire cycling industry" is going to switch to e-bikes, which is basically impossible due to the cost increase associated with this tech, and many riders aversion to electronic complications. The impact of this design will absolutely be limited to "just the...

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    I agree with you on the "Wait and see" part, however this type of eCVT is wholly different from the "Derailleur in a box" that Honda was using. Plus pro DH bikes get rebuilt after every race anyway. I'm not saying there isn't room for anything to go wrong with these eCVTs, but it should be...

    Looking forward to hearing your take on this thing!

    Avinox Gearbox.

    I can see where you are coming from in terms of the shifting hopefully being more stable on a gearbox, but electronic shifting already reduced the need for cable replacements and adjustments, and people still bring their AXS and Di2 bikes in for tune ups at the shop, no? Electronic gremlins...

    Avinox Gearbox.

    Wow, there are a lot of details on this thing, things are really heating up!🔥 Sounds like it is more than just a concept. It will be interesting to see if the Avinox "MG" is similarly far along the development cycle. The charging speeds are really next level compared to the Avinox 700wh, which...

    Avinox Gearbox.

    Anyone got any links to these leaks? Someone said it was on the Canyon website, but I just took look and didn't see anything obvious. I found this article but it seems like AI slop probably pulling from speculative conversations like ours, with nothing new or conclusive...
