    Broken plastic RAM mount. Don't buy it for rocky terrain.

    I bought RAM products two weeks ago and found out the ball knob is made of cheap plastic, not metal, which isn't durable at all under rocky/downhill terrain. The knob broke on the GoPro mount and it has broken twice on my previous X-grip mount. On the contrary, the other part of the ball knob...

    About the mileage of KMC e10 EPT chain

    After about 1500 miles, my 3rd KMC e10 EPT chain is just on the threshold of 0.5mm wear. I've waxed them every ride and still the chain doesn't last long enough. It must have been some design flaw caused this because the cheaper Shimano HG95, which is under the same wax procedure, can last...

    Derestricted top speed: Speedbox vs Vlospeed vs Badassbox vs magnet

    Is there any difference of top speed between these derestriction method? I simply changed the position of magnet and keep the motor running at a "lower" speed. The GPS shows I'm around 28mph. The bike shows sensor error but the pedal assistance keeps going without problem after 100 miles of...
