    Would you buy a bike that can't be derestricted ?

    Yes I would. I could derestrict my current bike, but see no need to do so. 25 kph limit.

    Shimano e8000 voltages

    There are just 2 wires from the 6 V light connector leading to the USB connector, which is mounted on the top tube. https://www.canyon.com/en-fi/gear/bike-parts/spare-and-wear-parts/spare-wear-parts/canyon-gp0115-01-usb-powersocket/10002759.html

    Shimano e8000 voltages

    I am not sure that it is wise. USB is supposed to have only 5 V . My Canyon has a USB outlet, I am pretty certain the connector has a voltage dropping circuitry inside.

    Harley Davidson (Serial 1) - Switch eMTB

    I wonder if you are supposed to ride it with assless chaps.

    New Spectral:ON 2022

    Ebike-MTB reviewers seem to be pretty much enduro or DH riders, who want very much downhill capable bikes. To me it seems that Spectral has fairly steep head tube angle, short chainstays and thus fairly short wheelbase for a modern bike. IMHO the bike feels like a very capable trail bike, which...

    My experience with Canyon customer support.

    So, this is a post I did not want to make. But since usually people only complain, I thought it would be nice to hear a different story. My 2019 Spectral on developed play in rear suspension main pivot. I examined it and found a broken main pivot axle. I also knew that it would take tools that...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    A new chainstay to replace one with broken main pivot threads and main pivot bearings and parts...

    Rattle can paint job or maybe taping over 😂

    New Spectral:ON 2022

    That is probably the one I'd choose, black and white are too boring. Not seen the red live though...

    A new model of EMTB frame with Bosch / Shimano / Yamaha motor?

    Basically the motor systems available in Europe are Bafang and Oli. Polini maybe in the future. Other systems are very hard to find and costly. E.g. Shimano E-800 at about 1200 € for the bare motor and I've only seen those available 3 times in single digit numbers so far.

    I keep running into rattlesnakes so I bought some snake proof boots

    Do they make them as clipless?

    New Spectral:ON 2022

    I would buy the CF 7 with 900 Wh battery and see how it rides before spending any money for upgrades. I tested CF 8 and while it was very nice, it was not light years ahead of my 2019 model. I suspect that my first major upgrade to the CF 7 would be the rear shock. Price difference to CF 8 is...

    New Spectral:ON 2022

    The grips and maybe saddle if they do not fit you. BTW, the CF 8 spec with the smaller battery costs almost exactly twice what I paid for my 2019 one and has the same suspension. Is it better? Well yes, certainly, but is it twice as good?

    New Spectral:ON 2022

    I'd get the 900 Wh and buy a 720 as second one, if you really are looking to save weight Upgrades: Contact points, as you need Shock upgrade Lyrik damper upgrade Wheels, when they get trashed Brakes, maybe Tyres when they wear out or get trashed Drivetrain when it wears out

    anyone gone back to a normal bike?

    A week ago I attended a Canyon demo day and I rode Spectral:ON CF and Spectral 125 and a Spectral 29. I do not think I'll ever go back on Amish bike, unless I change my riding totally and buy a DH bike and begin doing bike parks with uplift service. The 125 was a hoot though. I wish Canyon made...
