    Yeah, about that. Thanks, Bosch. Schmucks. I didn’t record any of my settings before the update.

    Moab is now open!

    Had a trail worker let me know that there was a ranger around that would ticket me in crested butte, but he personally didn’t care if we ride there. We don’t ride in Utah all year but in our week long trips for the last 3 years all we’ve gotten is shrugs. Ahab is awesome 🤩

    Moab is now open!

    The fact that rental shops have racks and racks of e-mtb’s and “that’s pretty much all we rent”, means that no one is paying much attention to the closure rules.

    Moab is now open!

    I had a trip planned for Moab in 2 weeks but a 3 day trip to the western slope of Colorado resulted in 2 lacerated legs, a separated shoulder, a broken finger and a small bump on the noggin. Head bump not serious, but index finger is jacked so no single finger braking. Hell, between the shoulder...

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    After a mishap earlier in the summer, my thumb needed surgery. I then proceeded to talk myself into a new fork. Said fork needed a front wheel with a big axle, so I talked myself into a new carbon wheel (to partially offset the weight of the fork)(very partially). After waiting a while for the...

    e thirteen chainring on Bosch Gen 4 CX has come loose, not sure why

    My pivot shuttle came with an o ring between the chainring and the motor shaft bearing. No o ring between the castle nut and the chainring. My LBS showed me a new stock castle nut that was black, aluminum and was stamped with 35 Nm. They were not thrilled when I said that the shop in Sedona...

    It’s a sag indicator (!). The shock body moves the o-ring down to the red line on the plastic doohickey.

    Hello from Colorado Springs

    My brother owns that bike and lives in the springs but unfortunately he is perversely opposed to doing his own maintenance. I have to top up his sealant or remind him that it’s time for such things. Sorry. 😁

    CX Race Edition Questions

    My recollection is that you lose one of the normal modes when getting the race mode but the normal modes are not changed from the torque values in the non-race version. What might be different in all modes is the longer over-run. I don’t know if that is unique to the race mode. A highly...

    Santa Cruz Vala

    My local shop just spent a week in Phoenix at pivot. 15 people riding emtbs all week, both LT and AM. To a rider , men and women, they all liked the AM more. The older motor, the bigger battery, whatever, they said it felt more satisfying and less work than the LT. Also difficult to get used to...

    Yeah, that’s what I meant. Titanium is the bomb. Well, and the praxis carbon ones too. I just put on the alloy praxis 150’s. Haven’t ridden them yet so we will see how they go.
