Let's see your EMTBs!

Can @Norm or @Patrick change his "well know member" to "retro grouch". He should be proud to have earned it 😁

Easy now, I just have not reached the eMTB need!

And you have to admit, “updating” your rear derailleur is about as “e” as it gets.

Speaking of AXS, e-bikes and batteries, one of the friends I was riding with on Sunday has a Trek e-bike and the AXS derailleur has some sort of adapter on it that connects it to the main power battery of the bike. That seems like a nice feature.

I like it!

My Shuttle has a USB port on the top tube......so I can plug in my BT speaker

Nice! Then you can get double the hate.

Or... you could plug in a AXS battery charger to recharge your spare.

Who is going to be the first to get the full Sram auto shift system? I have seen videos of them but I have not the full system yet.

I'd be tempted... as it seems like I hardly ever shift when riding an e-bike. I am 99% certain I use the dropper post more often than I shift gears. But I also don't tend to pedal with a high-cadence, so a shifting system that is always trying to make me pedal faster might be annoying... or it might work to train me to use a higher cadence, by gradually setting the shifting limits or time as I get used to it...

Basically... I dunno... maybe, maybe not... depending on how it works.

Seems you don’t ride in north nj….shifting all the time where I ride.

Gears on an Arctodus is basically the same thing as riding an E-Bike though…😂

I do, but haven't on an e-bike yet. Still... French Creek has as much elevation change as any of the trail systems I've ridden in NNJ (Wayway, 'mooch, etc.).

Come ride Ringwood, Sterling or jungle and tell me you don’t need to shift….. BTW, lugging e bike motors is a really good way to kill your e bike drive unit….. they like to spin.

I don't need to shift 😘

Yes, a detour on the way up to Voorhees SP. I thought you might be the only one to recognize it

Oh no. There a fun switchback descent singletrack down to the gorge from there.

Oh no. There a fun switchback descent singletrack down to the gorge from there.

Yes, but i've only "climbed" it. Someday, I'll do it right by starting up at Voorhees and then descend that section (slowly 🤪) to Columbia Trail and Nassau. Or, climbing up to Voorhees the other way.

Congrats, does that mean you're not riding with me and Dan anymore. Unless ...

Thanks. I am still riding with Dan. I normally keep it on ECO mode and try to start last unless specifically asked to lead.

It's kinda fun to say on the left while upshifting on the uphills

I've been given the one finger salute plenty of times.

I'll also stay after everyone else is finished and go ride a few more miles.

I don't either, my SS has a strong hike-a-bike system...
