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

    Alibaba is a $400B mega-corporation serving a billion customers per year across 200 countries. What's your threshold for defining a website as "legit"?

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

    Yes, it has nothing to do with the seatpost. You cannot force a perfectly straight crack thru a properly made carbon structure unless the structure has a perfectly straight flaw in the ply stack. There are only 2 possible explanations: either the plies were misshaped/misaligned such that...

    GOBAO ECVT EMTB Mid-Drive Motor

    The "C-rate" term is specifically intended to bypass this myth. From the cell's perspective a 1 hour charge is a 1 hour charge no matter what the S/P arrangement. The only meaningful difference is the size of the wiring between the battery and the charger. And at the limit a 4V battery will...

    GOBAO ECVT EMTB Mid-Drive Motor

    Even for the charger voltage doesn't end up mattering. The FETs and capacitors inside the charger are sized by either voltage or current so the circuitry ends up being about the same size regardless. The wire and connector going to the bike could conceivably get smaller with higher voltages but...

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

    Gray market is the manufacturer's official sales channel. Again people, these are not stolen or counterfeit bikes. Amflow aggressively pushes gray market sales thru their vast network of grey market distributors. This enables them to expand their market reach, distance themselves from bad...

    GOBAO ECVT EMTB Mid-Drive Motor

    This is a common misconception but in practice, voltage is completely irrelevant to the consumer as it makes no meaningful difference in size, weight, power, efficiency, or charge speed. Manufacturers pick a voltage based entirely on the way they want to stack the cells in the frame - that's it...

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

    Wow, tough crowd. The pics are not fake, the bike is not fake, this is a very well-known flaw affecting M/L PL's in both black and silver. It has nothing to do with droppers, riders, or clamps - they simply failed to properly overlap or compact the material plies at that seam. It likely only...

    Avinox SRAM AXS Motor power Cable (M1/M2 Variants)

    Wow, that didn't take long.

    Do 12 speeds still make sense for full powered EMTB's?

    It's real. Canyon, Comencal, Mondraker are showing them tomorrow. CVT, though - not gears. CVT sounds like the last thing you'd ever want in a MTB, at first. But small gas scooters have been using them for decades with great longevity and surely for MTB use they'd discretize the shifting into...

    Do 12 speeds still make sense for full powered EMTB's?

    For me that's the greatest drawback to 12sp - way too many gears! All those gears take too long to cycle thru, and with only 14% difference between cogs there's rarely ever a reason to shift just once. Certainly we need the 10-50T range, but divvying that up across 8 gears instead of 12 would...

    WARNING - Do not pay AmFlow via direct bank transfer and expect a refund

    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...

    WARNING - Do not pay AmFlow via direct bank transfer and expect a refund

    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...

    Avinox M2S: 1,500W, 150Nm, and a PR Offensive

    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?

    Avinox M2S: 1,500W, 150Nm, and a PR Offensive

    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...

    Which replacement dropper seat post cable?

    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...

    38t chainring on Amflow

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

    38t chainring on Amflow

    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...

    Amflow general questions and answers

    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 general questions and answers

    @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...

    Amflow frame bag - anyone have one...recommended ?

    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...
