Watching the footage back I filmed in 2011-2012 with my Hero2 was enough to make me decide to never buy another action cam.

5/29/2026 1:48pm I think you are right. What is weird is that I still see tons of fully kitted out ebikes in my area, with the latest factory electronic suspension, wireless everything, carbon, titanium, etc. Which really makes NO DIFFERENCE on a 50+ lb ebike. But...these guys like the bling and they have already put every doodad on their Tacoma, so what's...

5/15/2026 8:21am Pretty much expected, there is no way they were going to sit idly by and watch Avinox/DJI crush them in that segment. Kind of just reinforces the fears that this will end up just being an arms race to the bottom. Also, the "trickcheck" feature? No words for that...

4/21/2026 8:47am I work on electronics as my day job. Having to set up a clean workstation, ESD mat, microscope, soldering station, etc in a bike shop seems like a nightmare. Plus having to hire someone who is qualified as an electronics technician. I don't see it happening. It would be nice if the manufacturers stepped up and were reconditioning these motors...

3/2/2026 7:36am Yup, commuted to work for years. Hit 3 times, last time was an ambulance ride to trauma and some permanent hardware. Done with that now.

The last time I had a road bike I was hit by an SUV going 55mph.... also it snows.

2/25/2026 9:18am DYAD on the Jekyll, Claymore and Trigger. I had a Claymore that I really liked, super fun bike. I would totally buy another if it came up, but I would also make sure to buy a spare DYAD to go with it - pretty sure no one services them anymore.

That is wild to me. Cool bikes I get the desire to support the project, but 4k for a frame? I would much sooner get a raaw.

2/6/2026 2:16pm Those frames are $4K, how the hell did they sell them out already? That's insane...

12/16/2025 11:47am I did until I cracked the frame in a crash. Canfield EPO built up as a 27.5+. Loved that bike, could ride even some of the rowdier trails in Phoenix with it.

12/16/2025 10:35am Cool thread. I often have multiple bikes just so I can keep one rideable when the others are broken. Right now: 2006-ish SC Nomad 2016 Kona Precept 130 2003 SC Bullit 2002 SC V10.1 2005 SC V10.2 I just disassembled my 2020 Ibis Ripmo AF and selling off the parts.

https://youtu.be/VD94rOJMwiM?si=6RiS2FRKjRXKrFs8 That was my pseudo-scientific effort into the subject... I'll summarise it for those who don't want to click... It's basically me mouth breathing for 5 minutes, trying to see if I could use an eeb for training zone blocks. Tldr: you can and it's surprisingly easy. But ... Since making that video, I tried quite a few times off camera and ultimately gave up on it. So a little context, I don't have time to ride AND train separately. I quite like my rides to be taxing even if they don't confirm to a plan or training block based...

10/31/2025 9:53am I'm not knocking what works for other people. If you are enjoying what you're doing, cool. The initial premise of this thread felt like another justification post for owning an ebike (others have pointed it out as well, so its not just me). It just feels weird when I hear people going on and on about the virtues of ebikes...

I think just from the people I know that ride an ebike the majority of the time, when they get back on a regular bike they say that its like riding on flat tires. Or riding through sand. And they forgot how much more effort it takes on a regular bike. Not sure how that equates to fitness but it seems to have an effect on strength. No doubt its still gotta keep you stronger and more fit than just sitting on the couch though. I think Its like what you were saying about how it depends on the way...
