    Crestline Bikes

    Cool to see, and interesting to hear that Gwin now owns a third of Crestline. Will be cool to see where things go.

    Crestline Bikes

    I think I can safely get my K1 Voima down to 23-23.5kg with some part swaps. That includes some new carbon wheels I'm building up using DT Swiss 240 hubs with Berd spokes. Going to switch from DH casings to double down. and a few other things like that. And that weight is with using the 750wh...

    Crestline Bikes

    I would have thought the 3lbs of weight difference between the 750 vs 500wh battery would have been fairly noticeable.

    Interested in hearing your thoughts on the Vivid Rob, I have one on order for my Voima. Back ordered till May though.

    The Best ebikes for 2024

    You've missed the point of my post, your original statement was that a Voima is only for tall people. I'm 5'8" with a short inseam. I have zero issues riding a K1 frame size. Your post was inaccurate, then you post about a MITH saying that long travel ebikes with low standover exist. And again...

    The Best ebikes for 2024

    The MITH has what I would consider a long seat tube length which is something else to consider if you're that worried about stand over height. It's 40mm long than a similar frame size Voima for example. The smallest S1 frame has a 440mm seat tube. Their S2 has 460mm and the S3 jumps up to a...

    The Best ebikes for 2024

    So do you have to arch your back when you're standing to get your ass to get under the front of your saddle to be able to realistically meet these supposed standover heights that your showing?.....lol Why don't they show that standover height at the middle point of the reach which is usually...

    Not surprising at all. Shimano needs to step up their game.

    I really wish Crestline would offer a frame only option to the rest of the public. :(

    Bosch CX-R---what bikes?

    At the price point you're considering I would at least go to your local Orbea dealer and see what they would sell you a Wild M-Ltd for. It's a great bike and is highly reviewed and has won two ebike shootouts that I can think of. We sell Orbea and I know that they are offering dealers bikes at...

    Bosch CX-R---what bikes?

    I work at a shop and we get them in all the time, IMHO there's nothing special about them. They're not a bad bike, but nothing that makes it an awesome bike. I guess that's why I would have a hard time justifying that much for one. Other than just the frame itself, there's zero reason why a...

    Bosch CX-R---what bikes?

    That's so crazy to spend that much on a Trek. I didn't get a Crestline because I went with a different option but definitely contact Crestline to see if anyone local in your area is a dealer. At the very least you'll save $1200. Also, do you not have a good local shop that would at least...

    Bosch CX-R---what bikes?

    Crestline does have shops setup as dealers, contact them and see if anyone in your area is a dealer.

    Recommend me a bike

    "Lifetime warranties are the dirty little secret of the bike industry. Most of the time, it actually means the lifetime of the product, and then it's up to the manufacturer to determine what they consider the lifetime of that product. So, if bike brand X states that they consider the lifetime of...

    What is this?

    WeAreOne Convergence wheel build with Berd Spokes and Onyx hubs, very nice setup. The mechanic at our shop just did a similar build but used I9 Hydra hubs. It's crazy how this wheels feel with the Berd spokes.

    What is this?

    New Fluid VLT with the light weight Bosch motor. Hopefully the Sight and Range switch to the Bosch CX too. It always seemed weird that they used Shimano seeing that they are the Canadian distributor for Bosch.

    Hope, any good or average and overhyped??

    Sorry but Miranda cranks are shite. I’ve broken two sets of them, complete garbage. One set was two months past warranty and they wouldn’t do anything about.
