    Pic of the Day

    We recently had a wind event here on the coast and the trails are trashed so I have been doing what I can to avoid them....took a side trip to the light house today. Going to have to get to work though sooner or later.....cause no one else is going to do it!

    DH World Cup thread

    We did slalom on snow events on mtb's over 30yrs ago and it never went any further because it was a bunch of crap then as I predict it will be this round? However Fabio Wilmers run down the Streif he posted is pretty epic.....

    Bike Bells 🔔🔔🔔

    The big problem with bells is that few people understand why they are in use or can't hear them because their ears are stuffed with music.....if it was universally understood by trail users that upon hearing a bell from behind you would just move to the right, or left in the UK I suppose, and...

    Review Ultima Mobility with Valeo motor and Effi gearbox

    I realize that this isn't an EMTB but a comprehensive review of a pretty solid effort I feel at a motor/gear box type bike. https://downtown-mag.com/en/ultima-mobility-multipath-trekking-allroad-in-review/ The fact that it is primarily an effort based in France is interesting.

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    "I personally like the fitness aspect so will be riding mostly in level 1 with occasional throttle assist." You'll be getting all of that and at a snails pace to boot.....My Z1 without the extra weight is 0 fun to ride in level 1.

    5 broken ribs!

    A year and a half ago when I had my last rib incident about a week after it happened I was visiting my son and a certain movement made me yelp in pain. I wasn't holding it in and it really wasn't all that frequent but the noise I made was consistent. He has a couple of Shib Inu' dogs and...

    5 broken ribs!

    I've felt your pain man. Rib injuries suck.

    Its 2024. So where are the frameset emtb options from all the big brands?

    Having built many bikes from the frame up over the years I see the attraction, and a potential market, for a frame option but I would also add that it would include the electronic package as well? The attraction would be for those that have all the bits and bobs to finish it off, or at least...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    I've been riding ebikes for over 20yrs and have yet to have one with brake cutoffs and never had issue 1 due to that. My current bike is a 52v M620 powered bike.

    DH World Cup thread

    Well just watched my last CX races on GCN+ and as the Xmas season is prime time for CX it is time to make my decision on what platform is best going to fit my needs? The MAX @ $20/mo. is not an option for something that has commercials. The other option seems to be Disco+ and upon researching...

    DH World Cup thread

    Got an end of subscription notice from GCN+ today and it mentions a subscription service called U.S. Max that is going to be providing coverage for bicycle related sports starting in February. https://help.max.com/US/Answer/Detail/000002547 Doesn't look like any sort of a deal at $10/mo for...

    DH World Cup thread

    Kind of what I am anticipating here in the U.S.. There is a trial period available with $4.99/mo after or $8.99/mo without advertisement. Because I follow CX in the winter and have been using a VPN and GCN+ for that I am going to play that until the end and then do the lesser amount trial...

    Sachs RS motor

    I find it interesting that 48v is slowly finding its way into the marketplace dominated by 36v bikes. The Rocky Mtn. system is 48v as well and it seems that the ones that do exhibit more power? Even Specialized has a 48v system powering their Creo SL Road bike. Of course the bulk of Chinese...

    DH World Cup thread

    As much as I respect his career achievements to date it is plain to see that he is not as competitive in today's DH scene as he has been. Not sure this was his best move after being a Santa Cruz racer for so long he might have been better off to just bow out gracefully instead of moving on to...

    So new I'm picking up my first EMTB today

    While de-restricting, putting some more road oriented wheels/tires and gearing on that bike will make it more efficient for your 28 mile commute it may not be the best option for that purpose? I commuted on a drop bar bike with an unrestricted big hub motor about that distance and it was a...
