    Long cable dropper options with MM compatible 1x remotes?

    I'm very happy with the Bike Yoke 160mm in my (non e-) bike. It works super smooth, the remote lever is a good one and can be attached to Shimano or Sram brakes (you can choose the version, I've got the one with a clamp since I'm using gripshifters). The "revive" option takes a few seconds...

    Pedals? Ebike

    The same as on your non e-bike I'd say ;) Why change what works for you. For me that means flats. I bought the new XT flats for my Merida but had a lot of pedalstrikes, still running the original 170mm cranks. On my other bike I have NC17 pedals (Sudpin III S-pro) and these are 1cm less wide...

    E8000 - What’s your range?

    27.5 vs. 27.5+ - What should I get

    Riding a Merida E-Onesixty with 2.8 Maxxis tires. It's my first experience with the plus-sized tires but I'm very happy with them so far. As with an e-mtb the weight isn't really an issue there are not many disadvantages I think. Maybe in muddy conditions skinnier tires will perform better, but...

    Berkshire Cycles, bike preparation for delivery to customers.

    Perfect in the sense that for a brand that sells as high-end I would expect top quality bolts to mount the motor, not bolts that you as a mechanic think need replacing before delivering the bike to the client. I wasn't criticising the shop, just the opposite. I really appreciate the work that...

    Berkshire Cycles, bike preparation for delivery to customers.

    I appreciate the extra work a good bikeshop does to deliver a bike. But I also think that the bike manufacturer should be the one to do that. Specialized makes good bikes, but they ask a price for it. When I get way better components on some other brands for the same price I at least expect a...
