    Did you ride today?

    Hit up a local ride I havent tried in years due to fires, switched it up to a out and back since the loop here is a terrible forest road and steep as hell. This ride kicked my a$$ LOL. Brutal(for me) inclines for the length but super fun. First time I stopped on the downhill for a while, shew...

    So, are these DIY electric kits for regular bikes worth it? Or just go for a pre-built one?

    I ride the fat bike pretty hard and the drive terrain is holding up well after 2 years. Just like an analog pedal bike, try not to shift up hill under load, but not the end of the world if you do. Ultimately it will depends on what motor you go with, The Ep8 I run is a whopping 250 watts LOL ...

    750w is pretty common. I only went 900 because I know I would be targeting 20+ miles with vertical, a very heavy bike, big fat tires causing more drag and 6" + of fresh snow expected in some cases, for normal casual riding it would be way overkill. I use every bit on the long rides and always...

    LC 250 & GX550 Picture Thread

    That funny, I was in Aspen recently and while I don't see any 70's, there were tons of restored vintage defenders everywhere. The old school square style SUV must be the thing now.

    Spoon feed me on which mag pedal to get for the MTB :-)

    X2 LOL. Please report how they work if you find a set. I have been considering it but got a pair of five ten's a few years back and it's amazing how they stick to a good studded pair of flat pedals.... Kind of gave up and forgot about the mags.

    A lot of factors in this and you never know until you try:) I'm trying to convince my buddy to get a cheap Costco fat bike and add a Bafang motor. He's not biting yet... For that reason I like the idea. That and if your just using the bike for cruising or maybe a gravel bike? I don't know I...

    Weather is getting nice out! Time to crank up the rides a bit on local trails until we get through the mud season.

    What did you do with you bike this weekend?

    Finally got around to throwing on the 175 TI cane creek cranks and PF 30 BB. SRAM XO’s held up well but time to move on. I generally prefer blackout but black was already out by the time I got these cranks on a smoking deal.

    Did you ride today?

    Ran into a bit of sticky red mud with the consistency of dog poo. Made for a short ride but did get a chance to get out.

    Post up what you pedal

    Nice, that was my first ever bike I took out on the trails and started me down this 2 wheel obsession path. I hated that bike so much lol. I think it was undersized tho.

    E-KDSS

    I don't know it really matters but I'm just responding to the one comment of the idea of going with the Luxury+ package on the GX that has the set FRONT sway bar and dodging the cost and complexity of the E-KDSS is a better idea if taking the suspension and tires to the next level and possibly...

    91 Octane Requirement

    I was using 89 ethanol free on my 2019 F-150 (TTV6 W/ Raptor motor HO) thinking I could get by, it ran ok just driving around, but I would get an occasional rough idle. What did NOT work was towing. It was throwing codes on the highway. Seemed to be fine outside the codes. Decided to skip saving...

    Beautiful day out. Unfortunately springtime beautiful doesn’t always = great ride.. all that work building a trail covered in tons of fresh snow. Had a good short run where it was packed by the road tho. You can feel that freeze thaw conditions starting to creep in. Hopefully I catch some good...
