    Veloboy internal bike rack / bike carrier

    Was looking at one of their 2-ebike racks but couldn't justify the cost. Ended up making my own desiginternal take for less than €100. Works great and have fit 3 bikes with no problems.

    Rib Injuries

    I had a fall on flat ground that broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung! Crazy, I was only going about 5 kmph on a gravel bike and hit the edge of a stone path running parallel to my direction of travel and sticking up about a half inch, hardly even visible, and it threw me down so fast that I had...

    Article Next leap in battery performance for ebikes?

    Hey Knut7, Thanks for your videos! I enjoy the thoughts and opinions of a fellow eMTB enthusiast. About the agressive comments above from @csj I understand what you are saying and agree that a 48v system will be more efficient and the battery will charge quicker at the rated 4 amp output of the...

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Well, I ended up buying an SUV and built a bike rack to carry 2 eMTBs inside with the front wheel removed. It's not as guick and easy as a van would be but the comfort of the SUV makes up for it.

    It can happen anywhere.

    I sure would have liked to have had a chest protector on during my incident but who wears one when gravel riding?

    It can happen anywhere.

    Yep...can happen anywhere! I went for an easy gravel ride with my daughter and had the front wheel wash out on a 1/2 inch ledge the was parallel to my direction of travel but well camouflaged on the edge of a puddle. The fastest I have ever gone down and ended up with 3 broken ribs and a...

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Its just the A/C thing in the T3 really...other than that it is very comfortable, like a big land yacht. Well there is the lack of power too. 70 horses of raw turbo diesel power keeps you creeping in the truck lane up anything that resembles a hill! That is not comfortable......

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    I hear what your saying...I actually have a T-3 Westfalia Hightop that I need to restore and love the space and versatility it provides. But it suffers as an everyday car and the layout is not good for storing bikes inside...and no air conditioning makes summer travel less and less fun as we...

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Was going to buy an SUV as a primary vehicle but now want to carry our ebikes inside vs out in the elements and for eveyone to see...! Anybody using a midsize SUV with 2 large Turbo Levo sized eMTBs? I'm also looking at a Mk4 Caddy maxi which might be able to transport up to 3 riders and bikes...

    Upgrade saddle for 2020 Turbo Levo Comp

    Well I went ahead and purchased the SQLabs 611 Active to help with the lower back and hip pain on long rides, as it advertised and WOW, the difference is night and day. I've done a couple of rides to test, a 38km gravel/trail ride and 52km with it mounted on my road bike which gave me the most...

    Upgrade saddle for 2020 Turbo Levo Comp

    I have been trying several saddles from my other bikes because the Spec Phenom Comp was giving me troubles. During this I found the Spec saddle has a bit of flex in the center which I countered by raising the front a couple of degrees, compared to my normal seat angle that I have been using on...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I ended up adding in a set of Ergon GA2 grips in nightrider blue and some reasonably color matched Spank Spoon pedals into the order. Unfortunately the DebonAir kit is not in stock so might be a little longer wait for that upgrade...still have at least few more weeks in lockdown anyway!

    35mm Nukeproof Horizon stem, 2021 Debonair upgrade kit and SKF Seals for my Revelation.

    Article Next Generation: Forestal Siryon

    Not so sure they are using a much lower Kv motor as the motor noise indicates a higher frequency...gearing could negate the need for a lower Kv due to higher battery voltage. 100% agree with the lower heat generated due to approximately 25% less current for a given power output. I2R

    Leaking wheel

    When changing the rear tire of my Salvador XC bike, purchased with tubless back in 2012, I counted 26 visible or detectable to the touch punctures...and I didn't have a single failure on the trails due to a puncture. The tire failed from de-lamination of the tread to the casing causing a large...
