  • The Via Vandelli is a former military road built in the 18th century by Domenico Vandelli. Originally used to transport troops and goods, Steve Jones has repurposed the road to test the Shimano EP801 motor. Venturing through the mountains and ending at the Carrara Mable quarry, where a scene from 007 Quantum of Solace was filmed. This breathtaking ride is bound to make you pick up your eMTB and head to the nearest mountain range!

      Please ask Steve if he could just verbally compare the guide Santa Cruz versus the canyon CF8 that he wrote. I’m torn between the two and only got one shot at the correct decision. Thanks for your help!

    Via Vandelli is 170 km. long. Starts from Modena and arrives to Massa Carrara. Normally you need 2/3 days to be ride it all. Specially the first part includes beautiful trails and roads in the hood.

    Tuscany looked incredible to ride an ebike in, well handled on the tight corners and loose rocky descent comined with beautiful scenery in Tuscany the perfect bike road trip holiday. Next big road trip for me? Probably next year up in the Highlands of Scotland somewhere, thanks for this episode, really enjoyed! 😁🤙

    Beautiful place to ride but for some of us the distances and expense are out of our budget .
    I think some US cities have done a great job of promoting areas and building trails along rivers and wooded areas !
    Bicycling has never had it so good for all age groups !

    ive been pondering the "Hyperglide vs Linkglide" question myself.. As im looking at a new wheel set up for my E-mtb.. Currently running Hyperglide SLX/Deore.. It would be pretty cheap to switch to Linkglide.. So should i order the new wheels with HG or stick with Microspline and SLX/Deore..

    • @tonyo4984
      @tonyo4984 9 місяців тому +1

      I switched to Linkglide a year ago of my Vitus E-Sommet. I had a use for XT/SLX 12 spd on my MTB build and was also able to swap the freehub on DT Swiss 1700s so it was not a big outlay for the benefit. I don't miss the HG on my eMTB at all, the 11 spd Linkglide works well and I have not broken a chain so far (still on the original in fact) I previously broke an SLX chain on the HG set up.
