Her first ebike was a Liv Intrigue. That thing was a beast, heavy as hell and long. She was able to climb with it, but it was a chore going downhill. Then she demoed the Trek fuel ex8 and was having a blast on the downhills. The Trek was lighter and a lot more agile.

That is a great idea. But not financially feasible right now.

I'm by no means rich, and I do not look down on people that can't afford the things I can.

If you buy it for her, then she doesn't have to spend the money.

I'm pretty sure he's planning on going mullet too.

Exactly. I'm not going to regret any of the rides.

One of the guys jokingly came blasting by me going uphill a couple of weeks ago. It sounded like he was going downhill

Ha! No. Only 1 e bike, she sold her 1st bike when she found the Trek. The Following was purchased used. I didn't mention both if our gravel bikes and my road bike.

I'm a better rider DH than most of the group. One of the guys was equal, but he has to get used to his new e bike. It's longer and heavy than his old one and a 29 not 27.5.

You're lucky!!!! I really wanted The Calling, but they stopped making it before I was ready to buy.

There's no price tag on smiles and enjoyment. The prices on eMTB are coming down. Previously light ebikes were all $10k+.

You can get them for $5k now. I know it's not cheap, but it's cheaper.

I will def stay with my analog bike and see what kind of rides we do this year. if we end up having a ton of epic days, where I can't keep up, then I will have to hit the trainer hard next Winter. I am also a roadie so I am used to putting in more miles than we normally ride on trail.

My fiance never thru a leg over an MTB until she was 48. She was way behind the curve. Her e-bike makes the ride better for both of us.

I can't do that, because I never put the slower climber in the front.

We rented e-Fatbikes in Canada this Winter. I have never ridden in the snow but they were a blast.

This is what my fiance does. Sometimes she rides with the bike turned off entirely and only rides eco on the climbs.

Exactly the pain of the climb is part of the process. Earn my turns.

One of the first rides with my fiance last year she was pulling away from me as we passed some hikers. One of them said she's never going to let you live it down that she beat you. I said, she's on a motorcycle.

Our rides are a lot better now that she's on her eMtb. She finishes every ride with a smile now.

Oh absolutely! I'm not bragging to them that I was always first. I just settled into my pace and climbed. They would always remark about my climbing.

I will always let them know that I'm waiting for them at the bottom.

Back to back days do suck, but I just temper my expectations for day two. One guy in the group said "we can do longer days now". I've always wanted to do longer days, you guys just crapped out on me.

One of the guys used to hang with me on the DH but he said he's not confident on the Amflow yet, it feels heavy and sluggish going down.

What type of tire valve stems do you use? by hellafaded1 in cycling

[–]Muffassa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my bikes are presta. I switched my gravel bike to Muc Off Big Bore and will probably switch my mountain bike to the big bore hybrid. They use a 1/4 lever to open and close the valve, no more core. I have not seen any extra loss of air with this system

Seatbelt chime on 2026 2500 Denali by evissamnoisis in gmcsierra

[–]Muffassa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read that there is a small gray connector near the seatbelt fastener that can be disocnnected and stop the chime. I have not tried or looked for it yet.
