Now that I don't get many days here in the North East U.S. above 40 degrees anymore I've discovered it's a lot easier to only leave my batteries at 70% in order to enter long term storage. It's 40 degrees out there today and I'll be riding for an hour or two. But I'm start out with only a 70%...

A search did not turn up much on this subject. Yesterday, it was 50 degrees here and on my 1.5 hour ride my fingers still hurt. Decent cycling gloves, but into the wind at 17 mph, still hurts the old digits. Any recommendations on a thinner pair of electric gloves? I see on Amazon some are...

I saw this visibility pic posted on another forum, it's an eye opener. I have to ride roads to get to my local trails and even if you are on a trail . . . the earlier others see you the better. So I wear bright colors of red, orange and yellowish green for jackets and wind breakers. Also...

I have two Powerflys. The first one I've already had the Trek company store convert it to tubeless last season. It came with the Tubeless Ready Bontrager Line Comp rims (no tape needed). But before I convert my 2nd bike over to the XR3's (I really like these tires) . . . I have done 2...

Shipping to the lower 48 U.S. states only. I will split the cost of shipping since the farthest west of NY I have to ship the shipping increases as postal zones change. DMR Oil Slick Pedals Vault Lacon Signature 9/16th Alloy, Platform Flat Pedals. These were bought at the end of last winter...

I on the other hand am more of a toaster. Cheers to all the Dads out there for Fathers Day🥂

See, if he had an E-bike one would just click on Turbo hahaha

I had a spare e-bike but it was a Giant “hardtail” Explore GTS-2, so I sold it a few months back. I’ve been browsing Craigs List for a back up Trek Powerfly and found this 2022 FS 4 listed for $2900 with only 135 miles on it.. Seller accepted my $2700 offer as he knew it was a 3.5 hour round...

So frustrating . . . I bought two sets of Shimano pedals PDEF202. I like the pedals. For some reason they don't include the reflectors? Which ever site or country I tried to order them from "after" I was forced to open an account by giving each site all my personal info . . . I get a...

I guess It’s all about how you identify yourself now a days hahaha

How true is this pic?

Have others found this to be true? I used some of the Youtube reviews last year to decide which brand and model I wanted. But the problem with Youtube now is all these Chinese ebikes have taken over Youtube by giving these reviewers free crapola ebikes or free kit to push their ebikes. Seems...

I picked up my full suspension etmb from my local Trek shop last week after they replaced the pivot bearings under warranty. It started creaking at 500 miles and was growing worse after 900 miles. It was still creaking loudly after I took it for a ride a week later after the new bearings were...

I figure here in the north east USA, It might be 4 to 6 weeks before it’s in the 40s again. I’m not a fan of salt or ice so I’ve drydocked my ride 😢 So what do some of the members here do to pass the time until those of us that have a cold winter snowy climate can ride again? I’m already burnt...

My 2022 Trek Powerfly does 20 mph assisted. My Giant does 28 MPH assisted. I noticed the Trek sells a lesser model the Allant that does 20 MPH and an Allant S version that does 28 MPH. Anyone know Trek's thinking as to why they sell BOTH 20 and 28 MPH versions here in the U.S.? Their E-bikes...

Wow, this is the best idea yet . . . https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/Muc-Off-Launches-Stealth-Tubeless-Tag-Holder,5377?fbclid=IwAR3k49xIebf-xJaM7F2ow9JYiw9b6_Qa-JF-1uP1eE8fyxt4ypwGtlp57FI

Background: On 7/19/22 bought a 2022 Powerfly FS9 Equipped from a Trek store 2.5 hours west of my home. A month or two ago I tried to go tubeless. I couldn't get the bead to seat without having a compressor. Also, I unscrewed the derailleur hanger bolt and for some reason I couldn't get it...
