Normally I'd never make a reply that will be as politically charged as this, but it's extremely relevant here, so here goes. The US is heavily politically-oriented. It is very much a Left vs Right thing. The Left (the democrats) have been pushing for 50+ years to force themselves into power...

I have ridden it; in fact i just went out to check the tire pressures, and actually both tires are like within a tenth of a psi of where they were when I last set them two days ago. Nice, maybe I don't have a problem anymore. (knock on wood -- maybe that fallen tree across the trail)

Thanks. As I live in a small RV with no bathtub, I may have to just go with the more sealant approach.

It's been a while but figured I'd update. I got a whole new wheelset and put new tires on it... the Assegai EXO+ front and DHR II EXO rear, and used a Cushcore in the rear. Installation was NOT all that hard. I did watch that video that was linked here in this thread. It got me started, and...

I had to go directly to the Maxxis website to find it in EXO+. BUT... since I already have one in EXO on the shelf, would it not be better to run it with a Cush Core than to run an EXO+ without? I'm about ready to order another Cush Core.

This is what I ordered... a custom set from The Lost Co. I ended up having to get a new cassette because the old one wouldn't work with the new hubs, and thus the current derailleur wouldn't work either. I had been considering upgrading those anyway, so just as well. I'm prepared to order up...

Well now I'm more confused. So it sounds like I have to have a cushcore to run the EXO in the rear... as there is no EXO+ in the Minion DHR II. OR, I return that tire and exchange it for another Assegai which does come in EXO+ (and I have for the front). I haven't installed anything yet; I...

There was so much negativity towards cushcore that I canceled the order.

I ordered a cushcore for my rear wheel... I also ordered new tires F/R. For tubeless, do I need to install the rear tire without the core first, add sealant and give it a few days to do its thing, then remove the tire, and install the cushcore? Or is there another way to do it? Thanks. Rob

Next up will be the FML... Freakin' Mega-Lite.

I guess... but given there are still "regular" bikes that cost 2x what my ebike cost, and you see kids in their later 20's and 30's...

I'm surprised that the bulk of users are in my age range! I'm 53. And the second-largest group is the next group down. 'Course, it's all the young whippersnappers that are still riding them old-style "full manual" bicycles. ;)

Are you asking if I have evidence that tickets have been issued? If so, of course not. But I've read about the penalty in more than one place. It's frustrating because I'm not that far from Park City and would love to pop up there for a few days and ride, but I'm not quite in the mood to...

Everybody I've talked to says that ebikes kick ass on downhill runs. I'm like RebornRider in terms of skill level, maybe not even up to that point just yet. For theft, I agree... I went ahead and insured mine. Got liability and also medical payments (since I don't have health insurance)...

True, but you'd still have to spend a bunch of money hiring an attorney to defend you.

100% agree!! Only problem I can see with that is in Utah, at least two places -- Moab and Park City, they've made it a Class B Misdemeanor to ride an ebike on their precious non-motorized trails. Penalty is six months in jail, a big fat fine, and loss of your bike. A bit extreme, I think.

Despite what you might think, population is actually going to be decreasing. The birth rate in the US is down dramatically, and I saw a video recently talking about how China's population is about to nosedive due to their "one child" rule. Here in the US, the Baby Boomers are getting old and...

Not that it'll do any good, but I sent an email to both of my state senators yesterday (Arizona) asking them to tell the USFS to allow ebikes on trails. I haven't gotten their canned response yet. I did it after realizing that all of the cool trails around Sedona are managed by the USFS and of...

Assuming Specialized used good-quality cells, these batteries should easily last 5-7 years or more. I bought an "SOK" brand 206 amp-hour LiFePo4 battery for my RV a few months ago, and it came with a SEVEN year warranty. In addition, it comes in a metal case that can be opened so you can...

Hmm, so I went over to the Mammoth website to read up on their policies, ready to fire off a fairly polite email of disappointment, until I found this in their FAQ: Are eMTB's allowed? Yes, class 1 pedal assist eMTB's are allowed on all of our mountain bike trails. Riders must follow the same...
