    Another Direct to consumer brands that are good would be Poseidon bikes and they offer great value bikes that meets your requirements for a beginner is Poseidon bikes. It’s a small business company based in California that offer good support for their products according to my experience. You can learn a lot on doing maintenance and upgrades watching UA-cam. But anything major just take it to your local,bike shop. It’s good to have a relationship with your local bike shoo they can help you a lot.

    Greetings, Today I used my Ace during a group ride. While drafting the person to my front I noticed as I move to the left or right side of his wheel the number would change; the lower the better. I was able to maximize the draft the entire ride. Now when I had to pull, those numbers looked like my speed because of the headwinds. I’m all about innovations so this new device is what was needed. I was ringing that bell 🛎️ today. Everyone was like 😳 it has a built in bike bell? Yes 😂. More updates are on the way for this device, but for now I’m just going to keep enjoying it. My old devices are element roam v2 and garmin edge 1040 plus.

    I have a garmin 1040 and I hate it. The touch screen is sensitive to rain drops and when it rains my screen cannot be adjusted. I want buttons like the wahoo has. I also like the bigger screen. I’m not blind, but an easier to read screen when I’m riding is great so I don’t have to stare at it for too long. 30hrs battery life(or almost maybe) is an improvement, but I don’t really need it. Is it worth $600, I don’t know. I want it and once I read more reviews I may get one in the spring, but I’m not in a hurry. Thank you for your thoughts.

  • @matthewcheever5719
    @matthewcheever5719 Місяць тому

    Powered hubs are flatted on two sides so they don't rotate in the dropouts. Rear wheels are just a pain with the dirty chain/derailleur. Unhooking the connector isn't too bad. I use silicone grease to prevent sticking. Buy a single box wrench for that size nut and toss it in the tool bag. I wish I could say it will prevent flats😁. Tubeless can be plugged without removing the wheel and tubes can be patched - unless it's dark, raining or snowing. Any breakdown is a nuisance. Nice bike.

  • @SHWELL11
    @SHWELL11 Місяць тому

    I went Tubeless many years ago and I HATE it. I was doing it because I let the talking heads on the web convince me that it was "BETTER".. Not worth the hassle, and definitely not worth the mess. FOR ME.. I still have a couple of bikes that are tubeless, but only because they havent failed me in a few years and Im not looking forward to cleaning them when the time comes.

    • @Spinistry
      @Spinistry Місяць тому

      That hasn't been my experience at all. Tubeless has been a blessing in my book. No system is perfect but tubeless is much less hassle and more dependable than tubes. I doubt I've ever gone more than 6 rides on tunes without a flat. Tubeless will go years.

  • @alimantado373
    @alimantado373 Місяць тому

    If It aint broken dont fix it, there are inserts for air tires. Use them with air and not sealant. If you have the correct PSI the correct Tires you dont puncture. I ride trials not trails, have puncturers 2 times a year, And I ride concrete edges, walls etc. and commute 365' a year. A tubeless puncture is 10, 20,mins, an innertube, 5 mins at the most. I learnt that at Local Bike Shops most engineers are pissed and under pressure, so I decided how to maintain my bike myself. I suggest you do the same. After all it s a tire problem not an E-Bike problem.

    • @Spinistry
      @Spinistry Місяць тому

      I've been doing tubeless for 20 years and it works great. It has been so long since I had a tubeless flat that the plugs had gone bad. That was the point.

    • @alimantado373
      @alimantado373 Місяць тому

      @@Spinistry Different disciplines I guess, but I ollie onto 90degree walls and land on the corner, and because of my Tire pressures I never get a flat,a pinch flat, with inserts with air. Im not riding downhill, so I cant attest for thorns etc. But Im riding through glass everyday, doing big drops also. Maintain your own bike, it will be cheaper in the long run. Im a senior rider too. If that helps any. Plugs , Ive never used them on a Bike, on my car, sometimes.
