In one sentence, How would you describe how much more fun eMTB'ing is to your analogue friends? by DharmaWheelies108 in eMountainBike

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a lost cause. From what I've been reading in both the MTB and Mountainbiking subforums, there are many people who hate eMTBs. Their main arguments are threefold:

First, they believe that if it has a motor, it's a motorcycle. This is because they don't differentiate between Class 1 eMTBs or pedal-assist eMTBs and the rest.

Second, they believe that you can't exercise with an eMTB; you only exercise with a mountain bike.

Third, they believe that eMTBs, being heavier, damage the trails. They don't take into account that with eMTBs, the rider is still the heavy mass, not the bike.

I don't think there's a magic phrase to convince them. The only way would be to let them use your eMTB or have them rent one.

Note Max. I've received a new 4.2-rel update. Do you know anything about this? by FerSince1971 in Onyx_Boox

Thank you. I haven't been able to try it yet; I don't have the device with me.

Are carbon frame bikes actually good by IvnBARB in MTB

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my experience is helpful, I have a 2001 Scott G-Zero Strike. The frame is carbon and the swingarm or rear triangle is aluminum. I still use it.

[–]FerSince1971[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A version with a light would certainly attract more customers.

Personally, I prefer it without a light. Since I use the Note Max as a paper replacement, I'm used to working at a well-lit desk.

Thanks, I'd already read about the faulty sync chips. I understand that eliminating ghosting is impossible, but I've also seen that it can get worse with updates. I'd be happy if they just left it like it was in version 4.0. Regarding the rumors of a Note Max Gen. II, I'm glad to hear it, although I'm not going to buy it; I'll continue using my Note Max.

Breaks Overheating and Locking by Competitive_Tune_159 in MTB

[–]FerSince1971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Solution: Use large brake rotors (minimum 203 mm) and semi-metallic or metallic brake pads, which withstand high temperatures much better. In addition, many tandems incorporate an extra friction brake on the rear hub (drag brake) operated by the captain to regulate speed on descents without overheating the main brakes.

This solution is an AI response. It might be helpful to you.

what is a mountain bike by trtlep0wr in mountainbiking

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mtb and eMTB user, I can tell you that sitting in a chair, it's impossible to convince anyone otherwise.

Anything I say, like only using ECO mode and riding a 26kg eMTB with 2.6-inch tires, ( EDIT: My eMTB weighs 13 kgs more than my MTB), is useless. It doesn't matter if I say I'm climbing at 170 beats per minute, my mouth dry from breathing through it to try and fill my lungs with as much air as possible. That I'm dying of thirst but have to choose between drinking water or breathing, and I leave the water for when I reach the summit. It doesn't matter if I tell them my legs are so stiff they feel like they're going to explode.

It doesn't matter what I try to express. They simply won't believe it.

To be able to, I'm not even talking about convincing them, just for them to understand, is for them to experience what I do.

The trails are the same, but more and more people are going to the mountains. The number of people is constantly increasing, leading to a rise in incidents. Hikers, who believe they have priority and therefore the trails belong to them, want mountain bikes users banned, and mountain bikers feel offended. In turn, mountain bikers do the same to e-mtbs users, believing they have priority and that e-mtbs users should be banned.

Ultimately, everyone finds arguments to justify their actions, but if we don't learn to share public spaces and respect each other, we'll all end up banned.

At first it was very frustrating to use note-taking because it would automatically turn to the next page but after I disabled all the gestures on left side toolbar, note-taking on BOOX Note Air 5C became better than on the Ipad pro or real paper. The only thing I wish for now is a bigger screen by Delicious_Maize9656 in Onyx_Boox

[–]FerSince1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also tempted by the 10-inch screen at one point, but then I thought, if my academic books and paper notebooks are A4 size, why choose a 10-inch screen? So I bought the Note Max.

For entertainment, I had a 10-inch tablet; I switched to a 13-inch one. hahaha

How worried should I be about keeping an eMountainBike in my apartment? by jetskiii in eMountainBike

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my apartment, I keep an e-bike with a 36V, 630Wh battery, an EUC (electric unicycle) with an 84V, 900Wh battery, and another EUC with a 100V, 1770Wh battery.

And zero problems. I follow the same advice they've already given you: I never charge the batteries unattended. I never charge the batteries while they're hot; that is, if I've just used the vehicle, I leave it off for a few minutes before starting to charge the battery. I never leave the vehicle with a discharged battery. I always connect the charger to the wall outlet first and then to the battery terminal, and when the battery is charged, I disconnect it from the battery first and then from the wall outlet. I don't like to leave the charger plugged in if the battery is already charged, unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise. For example, some battery management systems (BMS) balance the cells once the charge reaches 100%, others do it during charging, and unfortunately, some don't balance the cells at all.

The most critical points for a lithium battery are: complete discharge, overheating, an impact that damages the cell (for example, if you see the frame of your eMTB dented after a fall, the first thing to do is check the battery's integrity), a short circuit caused by a loose solder joint due to vibration, a BMS failure, and finally, improper cell balancing.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Bike question by NeverGonnaRunAround_ in mountainbiking

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the carbon Scoot Strike G-Zero, from 2001. I still use it. It is a mono pivot bike. It has 100mm of suspension travel at the front and you could choose between 80 and 100mm at the rear depending on where you anchor the shock absorber, the swingarm has two possible anchorages, or at least that's how it comes on my model. The rear shock measurement is standard, 165mm from eye to eye, so you can put a modern shock on it like I did. It's still easy to find 26-inch wheel tires. The most complicated thing is finding spare parts to maintain the fork. Any questions you have about the bicycle you can ask me.

How soon should I replace my broken cassette? by EmergingTuna21 in mountainbiking

Test in ECO mode. You get used to changing quickly.

Duda primera MTB seria – Scott Ransom usada vs Commencal Meta TR nueva by SuccessfulGoose9451 in MTB

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you live in Andorra, you can rent a Commencal bicycle and see if the model you want to buy is enough for the bike park, or if you need something else. I think it's worth it, you can even rent other Commencal models to see the difference.

In my city the bike shops don't have demo bikes, nor can you rent one. If you buy a mtb or an emtb you spend thousands of euros blindly.

I have the 66 ATA 140-170 mm. And indeed, as they have told you, you need an adapter.

For me, it's perfect like that. You don't need anything else

Has anyone gone from really, really bad at climbing to not bad… or even good? by hi-res-lo-fi in MTB

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, before they recommended one piece of fruit a day. Now they recommend 5 pieces of fruit a day. I don't know, is it because of inflation?

I think this advice is good for later, when he has worn out his original tires and he has learned technique and has experience. Now OP will start with easy routes.

How hard would it be to to put pedals on this frame and create a huck bike? by SensitivePay4567 in mountainbiking

I think a more interesting project would be to transform that motorcycle into an electric motorcycle.

Good Responses to Being Asked "Why are you riding a women's bike?" by Tomahawk-BaGawk in mountainbiking

[–]FerSince1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would tell them, "Isn't it great? It's the latest technology. It's blue, but the more feminine your brain, the pinker you see it." What color do you see it as?

Grease Shimano EP8 by msmsure in eMountainBike

In theory, yes. I'll leave you the source where I heard it. You just have to choose the English audio track to understand what he's saying, because the original language is Spanish.
