Agreed. Smooch it up, nerds. I created this thread to chat about e-bikes because the tech forum got sick of too much emtb talk. Now you two are having a pissing contest about nothing. Kiss and be friends or go battle it out in the emtbforums, not here.

Idk whats going on in this forum lately. Amaury: I'm using radials. Schwalbe: our riders are all using radials. Us: no one's using radials. My personal experience, riding them in every condition imaginable, including snow: the biggest improvement in mountain bike technology since we figured out 64 degree HTA could apply to non DH bikes.

FOX just dropped the Transfer Neo E-Optimized dropper for Specialized Levo’s that gets connected directly to the main battery. They say that integration with ‘other popular drive units are currently in development for launch in 2027.’ The post maintains the same adjustability like analog Transfer posts, where you can drop travel by 25mm in 5mm increments. It’s offered in travel lengths from 125-240mm.

7/20/2026 7:27am A lot of that dead band can be dialed out with the bit adjuster. There is certainly more with the B1 but most of that seems to me to be the power coming on more gradually and only feels dead, but isn't actually. Between my A1's and B1's I have the same measurement for reach and "full" engagement point but...

7/7/2026 4:22pm If a tire rolls slower in a straight line but because it grips better it rolls faster in a corner, what is that tire? Slow or fast? Or same with over roots/rocks? I think this speaks to why some view the drum test as invalid bc it really doesn't represent how varying terrain affects rolling resistance.

7/7/2026 6:50am I too have noticed about 10% less power with B1 cams in the A1 but for 90% of my riding the additional modulation has been great once I got used to it. It's really the long runs and long days in the park that I feel it. I'm thinking of going back to organic pads for some more bite but...

6/29/2026 6:57am I experienced the same, sadly. I've been on the new Eddy Current radial for a few rides and while it doesn't have the same grip level of the TC, it still looks brand new.

6/25/2026 1:01pm Still no one has tried Zee radials? Any reviews out there I've missed? I may have to be the guinea pig.

6/24/2026 12:30pm I think all the new tech coming down the road will all be here faster than we realize. Like the early days of the iphone, a new one every 6 months.

I've got mine set up with ODI Longneck push ons, and it's been great so far. I trimmed the mushroomed end of the grip to give my palm a little more room on the flat section of the grip, as the side of my hands were cramping up where they met the bar end. That cramp has gone away and the performance has been super sweet, noticeably less hand fatigue than without them. That being said, I've gotten them into the bike park and they straight up suck on jump trails. They have a tendency to poke my wrists or...

6/24/2026 10:11am New motor is much wider and doesn't retrofit into todays M1/M2 frames so that's probably not the case.

6/12/2026 9:17am The Albert performed SO poorly in the mud for me you'll slide off the trails LONG before you rub the paint off your links. 😄

6/10/2026 6:36am Beyond emtbs the industry has run out of reasons to tell us we need a new bike so they're consolidating. Makes total business sense, especially after many companies got killed after misreading the market after the pandemic. If 32" wheels or the next big idea we complain about around these parts catches on they'll build out their lineup again. It...

6/3/2026 10:13am Without whipping out a ruler is the spacing all that different than a DHR 2? My position would be more about the "soft" seeming to be very, very soft for a rear tire. An Albert Soft held up better but not substantially more. This is my first time trying a TC so maybe I should have expected this? Any who...
