Sethimus may have his own ideas about what made them bad, but from my experience on concentric pivot bikes, the pedal bob was insane, due to the lack of antisquat. This was back in the day, when bike designers/engineers were still figuring out what made a bike pedal well, and some of them...

Its not a super dramatic improvement to Wh/Kg vs. the current status quo, but did any of you guys see the new WeLion batteries shown at Eurobike? According to Seb at Pinkbike "WeLion's 1,080 e-bike battery is the same size and weight as a Bosch 800 Wh battery (around 4 kg). It packs in over 25%...

Yeah, I agree that there is clearly a problem with the seat tube itself, not dropper insertion. I would have figured that the dropper would have sort of reinforced and load shared the area enough to prevent the tube splitting, but it occurred to me that it might actually be shock and link loads...

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...

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"...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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)

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

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.

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...

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!
