    New wheels, how about these?

    I was shocked to see they weren't much wider internally than my e13 stock rims, but the fit and finish and feel are entirely different. The weight of my wheels or my bike for that matter is the least of my issues until I shed another 30lbs or so, but I'll still be the heaviest part of my set...

    New wheels, how about these?

    I must say Hunts customer service is top notch. We had some issues with one Rep telling me I didn't need a microspline hub, then I found I did for sure, they upgraded me free of charge. The wheels are very nice, don't seem any heavier than the e13's I took off, yet the quality feel is much...

    New wheels, how about these?

    Yes, the original wheels you posted about. They are the only ones I can get soon enough to ride more of the summer before work resumes, so why not. Plus, while a little heavy, their weight will be the least of my problems. [emoji12] I was going to go with the 395+ Spanks that are on my other...

    New wheels, how about these?

    Well, you sold me on them. I was looking at having some built by Pro Wheel Builder, but wouldn't have had any for a month or more, so I ordered these. Not worried about weight as much as durability. The stock e13 rims that came on my YT Decoy are cracking at the nipple holes, so I needed...

    Has anyone bought an Ebike without riding one ?

    Almost 2500 miles since this pic and have loved every one of them!

    Tubeless Sealant - shelf life?

    I had some Truckerco that was still working just fine after 2.5+ years and finally used the last of it. Shake well before each use and you should be fine. Solvent has nowhere to go in a well sealed container. I would keep in a cool place and not think twice about it.

    Heavy guy, what tire pressures?

    I run 20psi on the front, but 30psi in the rear. Depending on what I'm riding, I adjust rear a little softer or firmer. I'm 240+lbs kitted up (not sure what that is in kg's).

    Tire Question

    Picture isn't doing it justice, it's coming from the seem in the tire and not the bead. Leaking from a few spots along the treads too. Tire is nearing the end of its time of service, so I'm not too concerned, just wondering. Always check pressures before I ride and it rarely needs air, maybe...

    Tire Question

    My maxxis rear said it was tubeless ready, but about 500 miles ago, it started seeping along the seem near the bead. My Trucker Co was getting old in the bottle, so I ordered some Stan's for the most recent refresh. Now I feel like it is seeping worse. I'm planning a new tire in the next...

    E8000 still worth it?

    Approaching 2500 trouble free miles on my e8000. Like above, I only notice motor when it's in boost, other than that it's smooth to me. I wouldn't worry about it being obsolete, it's proven and reliable, all the hiccups have been worked out and it has good support online. I'm always nervous...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    It dropped a washer... [emoji12]

    Sore wrists

    If you want another hand position option, check out TOGs. I never use them on anything technical for obvious reasons, but long single track, roads, etc they work very well.

    Sore wrists

    I splurged on the revgrips and like them, they help with little stuff like gravel and vibrations, but won't fix hand numbness on long rides. I don't know if they are much better than my Fatgrip foamies, but I like their color. :)

    Sore wrists

    You also might take a pencil and mark your bars with the seem in your clamp, then rotate the bars slightly one way or another. It is amazing how much just a few degrees either way can make in your comfort level. I thought I needed mine rotated up and it ended up being the opposite through trial...

    Sore wrists

    I have to constantly check myself for "heavy feet, light hands". Also watch for wrist angle, back of hands and forearm alignment helps.

    Sram Guide Re problem after bleeding

    Well there goes the extent of my knowledge. I will be following though, so I can learn something I'm sure I'll need in the future.

    Tyre/tire sealant remover

    I figure any left behind is helpful in possibly clogging a hole. At least that is what I tell myself.

    Tyre/tire sealant remover

    I just roll it up with my thumbs and make nice latex booger balls.

    Sram Guide Re problem after bleeding

    Are the pads locked against the disc? Rear wheel locked up?
