Gimme a holler if you like, I could show you some stuff. Heads up, though, this is basically no e-biking allowed at Targhee and the other trails in Alta. (WY). The Big Holes is where it’s at.

I heard the reason most EP8’s fail is a simple lack of punctuation.

I commented on a plan to introduce class 1 e-bikes to about 27 miles of trails on Teton Pass. Most of those trails were pioneered and built by a fairly core group of builders, who, as far as I can...

I have the Rocky, and I still want the 250 add on powerpak.

If they actually built that, cool as fuck. But if it was built by MTB-r’s, that’s lame as fuck.

Just converted my Rocky to Mullet, and ordered a speed de-restrictor. But before anyone’s panties get bunched, we have many hundreds of moto-legal trails here that SUCK on a normal bike. So there is...

Does anyone know for sure if Deore or SLX cassettes have proven to be any more durable than XT, or for that matter, Deore or SLX chains vs. XT or XTR?
It’s pretty well established that the pricier...

TBF, my parents had absolutely no idea when I was out after midnight when I was that age, and yours probably didn’t either.

Not there yet, but getting closer.

OMG, BOYS, I POACHED SOME TRAILS!

lol, I rode this thing up a gravel road to the top of Snow King for giggles (I work a concert up there tomorrow) I didn't feel like riding back down the road, so...

Many carbon frames have become as strong/stronger than aluminum frames these days. Most of the difference is that aluminum is a bit cheaper.
Aluminum just fails in different ways.

Yeah, not here.
Electric ANYTHING are for dumbocrats, bro

Shiiiit, the Trumpies around here wouldn’t be caught DEAD on an ebike, they are for those limp-wristed Mountain Dudes, Fey commuters wearing neon vests, Yoga moms going to Whole Foods, and 13 year...

Well, DH bikes only do one thing...go downhill. I like a super-flickable bike going uphill as well.
Apples to Oranges.

Are there any other Rocky Mountain Powerplay Dyname 4 owners on here?
I have an error code that I don’t know how to fix/clear. (199).
Basically is seems like the torque sensor needs to be...

I’m spoiled with 108NM

I love the power of my Rocky, but it’s WAY too much bike *most* of the time. I wouldn’t want something with less range or power, but it’s a pig in some ways. Once they have 42-45 pound bikes that...

“35 is the new 65…you gonna card me?”

Acoustic bikes only on even days, E-bike only on Odd days? :rolleyes:

One curious dynamic I see locally is that some of the board members (and FS trail managers) are getting older, and finding e-bikes in their own personal quivers. They are the decision makers,...

Same here, and almost everywhere. Aside from the fact that they have no enforcement budget, it’s almost like they are conducting a compatibility experiment without going through the PITA process that...

However, the top 10-15 fastest guys on Strava locally are also fast as fuck racers. Not many sandbaggers.

Grinch should really wear this shirt ironically.

I LOVE the photoshopped bike and charging cable.
Stay klassy, Ford!

Looks super fun for moto trails..,

I would do it in a minute if it were 10 pounds lighter...

Has anyone ridden a Kona?
Considering one for the Moto trails.

But I never went coo-coo for cocoa puffs.

Wow, someone went off the reservation.

Oh, dear god, I can only imagine what he would say about ebikes.

HBD, Bunion/NotBunion!

There are people who could repair that battery with new cells. I don’t know any offhand, but I will search...are there any identifying numbers on the battery that you can share? Maybe pics?

“Methinks thou doth protest too much”

Awww, shucks, but don’t be fooled, I’m an asshole! :FIREdevil

Turns out it appears that is EXACTLY what happened.

For the sake of full disclosure, I got a DM from Sean. He claims that Pete was poaching the closed DH trail as well. Interesting, but in my mind, irrelevant. Sean was poaching as well, just in the...

Absolutely. He worked for me for years.

Yeah, this isn’t really about ebikes vs. non ebikes, it’s about shitheads who don’t take responsibility for their actions.

So, my buddy Pete was riding DH at Tamarack a few weeks ago. Some fuckstick was riding his ebike UP the DH trail, and hit Pete, breaking his finger, and now he needs surgery. (NO EBIKES ALLOWED) Dude...

You can’t add discs to that setup in an economically smart way, unfortunately.
(Disc tabs would need to be welded on frame and fork).

Looks great! But I wonder if their investors are still on board...

That totally depends on your soil type, IMO.
And if it was legal.

Haha, I have my reasons as an ex shop owner...and I don’t get them at pro-form:FIREdevil

Except ONE thing..,FUCK specialized.

No sub 37 pounds with a full 750 watt battery, no care

Until all the other devils catch up...

If only it could be from any other company...

Whataboutism?

I would think the double track chundery section below the overlook would be hard to find a good climbing rhythm in...I rode porc in 94’ as well, on a Klein Adroit Hardtail with a mag 21. Beat the...

If there was a day with no downhill traffic, I would do that once for posterity as well. I bet it had some...challenging...sections!
