    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    If you mean how to ignore people yourself, I'm not sure I can help with that. 😂 If you mean how to add yourself to MY ignore list, just let me know and I'll do it. I'd be sorry to, though, because your advice is not only useful but is always given very politely (as I wrote you already) —unlike...

    Can petite women ride an emtb bike downhill confidently?

    You are right. And I was wrong. I read "Powerfly 4" and was thinking to the old model sold in 2021...

    Can petite women ride an emtb bike downhill confidently?

    consider also that Trek Powerfly (I have one, XL size) come in different sizes, like every modern (e)bike. Obviously the weight doesn't change drammatically with the size, because motor, battery and most of the electronic don't scale down. I wonder, btw, why are you looking to such an old...

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    Thanks for your message. However, personally, I wouldn't be so harsh over a mistake. As I said, that workshop has an excellent reputation in a city like Bologna, where cycling is extremely widespread. Also, some (not all) of the advice given in this thread turned out to be incorrect. And it...

    Is the Power War over ? Is 1500 peak watts, 150Nm, the new benchmark ?

    There are two aspects worth considering here. The first is that needs and preferences change with age, health conditions, financial situation, and many other factors, including personality. This is unavoidable, so in principle it is a good thing that different options exist for different...

    Greg's Friday Confession Booth: What's your dumbest bike purchase?

    well, once I ordered a saddle bag online, to discover later that by mistake I ordered one with the very same volume of the one, almost unused, I already had. I couldn't return it because it was ordered in a place that didn't allow return. So, now I have two almost identical 2.5 kg saddle bags...

    Greg's Friday Confession Booth: What's your dumbest bike purchase?

    well, I see some improvement at last: you haven't advertised to the whole community my body weight, this time... p.s. don't even "think" to do it now 🧐

    Greg's Friday Confession Booth: What's your dumbest bike purchase?

    come on, don't lie to me: I took this picture of YOU on your e-MTB the other day: (BTW, is that the "carbon handlebar" that saved 80g?)

    Greg's Friday Confession Booth: What's your dumbest bike purchase?

    Have you really "bought" a carbon handlebar and a Brose-powered Spesh??? Did you tell the moderators or you just stolen their credit card details or Amazon details??? 🤨

    Is the Power War over ? Is 1500 peak watts, 150Nm, the new benchmark ?

    Please, never use that comparison. There are some Italians on this forum... 🤨 STANDARD DISCLAIMER: Mine it's a joke. I'm a firm believer in absolute freedom and creativity in the kitchen (and in life in general). The only rule is that your artistic expression shouldn't become someone else's...

    Is the Power War over ? Is 1500 peak watts, 150Nm, the new benchmark ?

    actually I never rode an e-bike different from my 85Nm / 250 W Trek. I'm more interested in range than power. My question is: how does it feel a 1500 peak watts, 150Nm ebike? Is that "so" different? How often do you use this additional power? And how much do you really ends up needing it? At...

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    This is the past (about 90 deg wrap) and current (140 deg wrap) setting. The difference is striking. I took some pictures to remember which is the right position. Thanks again for the advice, folks. p.s. The friction is still off because I took out the wheel to put it in the car...

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    thanks! Actually is one of the two Trek authorized maintenance centers in the area, and have a good reputation here. A mistake is acceptable, as they also apologized. On my side I made the mistake not to carefully test drive my e-MTB before leaving the shop, that is this: Ferretti Bike Shop...

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    Picked up the bike from the shop today. Everything's sorted. A few of the derailleur adjustment screws had been set incorrectly, but they fixed everything and apologized. I tested the bike on a steep climb, including under the highest torque I can put through it with the motor in Turbo mode...

    Question about maintenance stands for heavy e-bikes

    Not too much, considering that it looks like a proper design manufactured using good material. I found something similar on Alibaba but I'm not convinced about it. Thanks again for your help. Apparently is one of a kind. I have to find out a way to get it directly from the manufacturer, except...

    Can We Please Stop Attacking Each Other & Being So Defensive Because We Have Different Opinions!

    Imagine that I even left a local cycling group because in my second message I used an asterisk when addressing everyone (in Italian there are masculine and feminine grammatical genders: the asterisk sometime allow to address both in one word...). Immediately two people told me aggressively it...

    Can We Please Stop Attacking Each Other & Being So Defensive Because We Have Different Opinions!

    And I added another guy to the list today... :rolleyes: The arrogance of some I-know-it-all-and-don't-even-think-to-question-my-opinions is unbelievable. Looks like a kindergarten. And this only because a small minority of guys (with some erectile disfunction probably) finds this sort of...

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    what's so funny about that, @Weeksy? It looks like some people here is still at the primary school. Really. And this forum is becoming a very unpleasant place to be. A pity.

    Chain skipping under load after bike service

    NO. Because I didn't want to touch anything before bringing it back to the shop. Otherwise they could have said I caused the problem.
