Bicycle lights are manufactured in such a way that they do not dazzle oncoming road users.

These are not STVZO certified lights, just to be clear. I am currently testing a bike light with high and low beam. That's a step in the right direction at least. Video will be out in a week or two.

I was able to lick up a used on fb, like dang there new plus it had some nice upgrades, hope rotors, bar stem, grips, pedal strike crank covers. Garmin mount and more. So far this bike has surpassed my expectations. At 53 uts way more capable than I am and I really fancy the aesthetic look. One of the most impressive things for me at 225 lbs is the super beefy reinforced head tube. Not many know of it or talk about it but if you get a chance you'll see the design. This helped me decide on a hardtail. Way to go Trek!

Hi there. I know this is an old video.. But was looking around and stumbled on this one. I've noticed you said about these following ones was not tested by you. Bu...what about the Entry level ones.. Which one is the best to start with and is reliable? Recon, Reba or Judy? Something I can do XC without worries. Thanks in advance
@MTBs 10 күн бұрын
Yes, that was an old video all right! ;) The Reba is a bit more modern than the Recon and (don't quote me on this) I think it's the same chassis as the more expensive SID but with cheaper internals. So for XC riding, I would take a closer look at the Reba.

I've been thinking about getting a levo carbon for the frame. I've seen new 2023 models for 4000.00 us dollars. I've got the alloy comp. I was going to swap components. I've got cascade link, where it's bumped up to 160mm with a vivid ultimate and 170mm zeb ultimate. I thought being a couple pounds lighter would help with getting more playful on jumps. You didn't notice that between the 2 bikes?

I have this bike it's awesome but the spokes are sh1t, I had to replace the wheels on it with Sapim Strong spokes because my front spokes failed within weeks. It's the weakest part of the bike. Also you are incorrect the front rotor is 180mm and rear is 203.
@MTBs Ай бұрын
Thanks for your input. You would think DT swiss spokes in general are sufficient, but apparently not then. Interesting info about the rotors. The larger rotor is always at the front on MTBs. Maybe the fork can't take more than 180.

Looks good but I've tried my share of chain driven mid drive motor ebikes and the torque wears everything out much faster than a human could alone. Ebike maintenance must be easy for mass adoption, this thing won't be easy to work on at all. Personally I'm looking forward to combined geared motors with belt drives and the deployment of next gen batteries that charge faster, hold more charge, are less affected by temperature, can't burn up and can last more cycles. Until then I won't spend 6K+ on an ebike that is still going through rapid evolution and devaluation.
@MTBs Ай бұрын
I kind of agree. A belt drive would perhaps be a better option, but that's often more expensive up front. On the flip side, spare parts for the 10 spd Deore drivetrain are very affordable. The Bosch batteries are very durable when it comes to degradation and will last for years (know this from personal experience).
