What’s a good ebike up to $3500 for general use up to and including gravel, fire trails, single track etc?

I haven’t sat on either yet but I will. I am just trying to have a better idea before going in. Regarding the 2011 Krypton, I think it was a combination of both the long reach and lower stack height.

Yes, so I figured... then I used Merida’s sizing calculator (click on the bike link). The calculator put me almost in the middle of Large. EDIT: This may help. The bike that I felt way too stretched out on (the Krypton) had a reach of 405 and a stack of 595. With this in mind I can either...

Here’s an updated wishlist for an endurance/all rounder road bike up to $2k, disc brakes preferred. Bikes Trek Emonda ALR 5 Disc - 105 Alloy Disc Scott Speedster 10 Disc - 105 Alloy Disc Scott Addict 20 Disc - 105 Carbon Disc Giant Contend AR 1 - 105 Alloy Disc (All Rounder) wider tyre...

Probably not aggressive. I went from an Argon 18 Plutonium to a Krypton and preferred the Plutonium. No idea about tyre clearance. I’ve never had a disc brake roadie before. Sounds good?

Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear. I am after brand/model suggestions within budget. Usage will be road-only training rides, initially likely to be up to 40km at a time but longer rides may happen further down the track.

New only please Show me what you got

Yeah it’s working. I guess I was more just wondering about the mechanics behind it. Is the spring action caused by air or oil compression, or an actual spring of some sort?

Hi yall I am wondering if any possible fork damage may be caused by trying to turn the Lockout control from off to past what I now know is actually “on”? Basically there is about 1/3 of slack which I now realise turns Lockout from off to as-much-on-as-it-will. The point “past” off feels like a...

Tried one, unfortunately not enough space between top of my TT and bottom of my top headset cup. The bracket requires about 10-15mm and I had less than 10mm. Otherwise it was promising, shame. See above :) Hmm.. thanks. I only have about 15mm worth of spacer on my steerer, so not much...

Warning - boring stuff ahead for most readers: I am after a front mounted baby seat. I have been researching for a couple of weeks, and I have come to a bit of a fork in the road. My two options basically whittle down to one of two categories: 1.) Seat mounted to steerer/stem - seat turns when...

Greetings fellow Rotoberians I have recently acquired a new steel hardtail mountain bike to get my fat ass back into riding. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for "preventative maintenance" in regards to rust prevention. I live within 5-6kms from the ocean and I am riding literally...

Hi all, I am wondering what the most popular frames are - I've got a few ideas by looking at some of the PYR threads already. I am asking so I can use the models as keywords on Gumtree, Ebay etc as I am looking at buying one :) The more readily available/cheaper etc the better. EDIT: Been...
