New bike day!

[minizoom]

I can't wait to get this on the trail. I've demoed the YT decoy, decoy 29, and rail 5. I like the bosch motor better than the shimano. YT did have awesome components though, for the price. Just don't know if they'll be still making those batts in 4-5 years. At least with bosch (bigger company), I should be able to find a battery when it's time.

Nice !

I had to look up where you are .. never heard of it .

"Yorba Linda is a suburban city in northeastern Orange County, California, approximately 37 miles southeast of Downtown Los Angeles. The suburb's most famous resident was Richard Nixon. His birthplace is a National Historic Landmark, at his presidential library and museum located there."

Just a few miles away from the presidential library.

Really nice looking bike.

How is the access for emtb in your area?

 

[Simoto123]

Very relaxed here in the UK. Pretty much access all areas.

There are still some places that are illegal to ride. It's beginning to be more widely accepted though.

 

[Intermtb]

So you're pretty local to me.
my local trail are Bonelli park and Marshall, no problem with ebike there (LA county).
for most part emtb is OK in a lot of places, except Orange county park, no Aliso, no Whitting. but recently an ebiker got a warning riding at Santiago oaks, so becareful there. I've seen a lot of ebike there, and ranger did not do anything, maybe changed now.
I recently rode Floop on ebike, wow felt so much better with ebike pace, and there are some jumps by the dam.
probably I will see you (your bike) soon on a trail.
we're lucky to be able to ride pretty much all year round here in Southern California, what a blessing.

Chino Hills State Park is my backyard. Santiago Oaks is very close by also. I can't to ride this. I'm charging the battery now. It's been over 5+ hours and still not done.

 

[Borist]

big battery and slow charger

 

[Borist]

what bike carrier is that?

Rockymounts Solo. I'm not sure I trust it yet. I did upgrade the 1.25"-2" adapter to full 2" all the way to the carrier.

Lot's of traffic going up the 57fwy from Yorba Linda. Maybe next time. I'm gonna do Chino Hills at 3p and test out the range.

And not far from Corona, where they make beer and viruses

You'll love it! I rode 20 miles with 2898ft of elevation gain and still have 3 bars left on the batt. Oh, I rode it mostly on Turbo!

 

[Growler]

My Rail got warranty claim on it before I even got it, sloppy rear shock so all being replaced.
In return for the delays the shop will convert to tubeless all for me which is nice.

Which Rail do you have? When I rented one in Vegas. McGhies had only 1 Rail 5. The employee said the other Rail 5s had issues with the front shocks.

Rail 7, in New Zealand, brand new out of the box and sloppy as hell.

I'm glad the dealer is taking care of the issues. One of the reasons I chose the Trek.

 

[Growler]

I got it

Itching to finish work so I can go rip it up, spent last night setting it all up properly, it came with like 400 reflectors on it, I am sure I shaved 5kg taking them all off

I had the dealer remove all that and spoke protector.

I don't recommend the Rockymounts Solo. The rack moves around too much in normal driving conditions.
