    GOBAO P100 / P120 as upgrades for Shimano EP series

    I would love to know the price… definitely interested in swapping out my EP8 if I can!

    With these E-CVT's kill the rest of the market?

    FYI, I also had the same Linkglide derailleur fail in exactly the same place, and Shimano replaced it under warranty. It should not have broken so easily, and they agreed it was a manufacturing fault in the cast part.

    The Commencal tensioner looks great.

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    I was kinda disappointed to read that it has a 520% gear range... we really don't need that much range for MTB any more, now that we have the power and torque of modern motors. IMO 400% range is plenty, and would surely have allowed a smaller + lighter + more efficient design.

    Avinox Reveals its Motor Gearbox

    No way the chain is long enough on that Megamo... 🤔

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

    Where you getting that info from??

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

    I have been experimenting with this and I have discovered that a 11-36 10-speed cassette paired with a 32T chainring gives me all the range I need in my riding, and I ride in a pretty steep area (North-shore Vancouver and Squamish). Hence I'm planning to go to Shimano Saint 10-speed next. This...

    New Geometry Compare Tool

    Very cool! It would be good to be able to hide rows of the geo table that you are not interested in, so that you can see the key info all on one screen without having to scroll and hunt for it (on desktop anyway)

    New ibis OSO?

    It's the only e-bike on the market that combines the Bosch Gen 5 system + DW Link suspension + adjustable geometry. I'd say it's one of the most unique models available currently.

    Is it just me or did the 2026 bike releases disappoint?

    I don't know why the Ibis Oso has been such a stealth release... it looks awesome.

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    For the record, I think it's really cool what you (BeMoreBikes) are doing in terms of pushing the accepted wisdom about MTB handlebar position and trying new designs that are genuinely outside the box. This is how real progress begins. It's also clearly working in some way, with some big...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    12 degree back-sweep is certainly a bit more than the typical 8 or 9 degrees that MTB bars use, but it is not unheard of for MTB (e.g. SQLab make some with 12 degree sweep). Here's another example of a 150mm rise BMX bar with a 10 degree sweep. The compliance/flex of a chromoly handlebar versus...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    I think you can, if you start looking at what's available in the BMX world.... there is a whole world of bar designs out there in every height and dimensions imaginable. For example, if you combine these Rixin bars (which have a 150mm rise) with a super-short stem like the S&M Reneck FLT (which...

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    This is completely untrue. The stem and bars combine to define the positional relationship between your hands and the steerer tube. How they do that between themselves makes no difference whatsoever (apart from maybe stiffness in extreme cases).

    Weird Reversed Stem Geo / Chat

    What I don't understand with this whole thing is, if you want your bars in that position then why not use a riser bar and a "normal" stem rather than this bizarre looking stem and a regular handlebar? If you ran something like a BMX cruiser handlebar the bike would actually look good, rather...

    Where can I buy an Avinox motor seperately?

    I am aware that Avinox do not list their drive units for sale as a spare part, although they seem to list all their other components available as spares (depending on country). But I want to buy one for a custom build project... Does anyone know where I can get one? e.g. Chinese re-sellers etc...

    Velduro Rogue 170/165 mullet Enduro with DJI

    Is there a geometry chart available for when the bike is run as a full 29er?

    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    Has anyone tested the max seatpost insertion on an XL frame? According to the geometry chart it's 300mm, but I'm wondering if that's accurate in real world use. Reason being, I'd like to get a 240mm drop OneUp seatpost and run it slammed in the frame, but the insertion depth is listed as 340mm...
