You've nailed it. The tires are 35mm tubeless Bon Jon Pass' Extra Lights. I have nothing but good things to say about them thus far, I just wish I wasn't feeling so darn gothic when I got the black sidewalls, I think tan sidewalls would've really complimented the "paint." The powder coating was

You've nailed it. 35mm tires but who's counting. Def an ass saver to do the bare minimum. Also the brakes are the dia comps riv sells. I relly dig them. Super familiar pull vs grab. Paul's are stronger but are also way grabbier. Dig 'em for my mostly-pavement routes. On Sat, Jan 23, 2021,

Nah, you won't lose much more range in wind, it's the hills that sap it. But even there with a system this powerful it's negligible, honestly the BBSHD with a good battery is a little ridiculous. It's not a bicycle as we understand them, it's a motorbike you pedal along with. I like them for

Thanks, Joe and "J"; I'll store this information away for the day I have to decide what to choose. Good to know that at least a few electric assist systems can eke out 40 miles -- it wouldn't be worth my while to get anything that couldn't do that distance. Joe, good point about fixing flats and

I’ve got the bbshd on a Appaloosa frame. I don’t know exact mileage but I think that depends on battery and terrain. I’d think my setup could do 40 miles on a full charge, but like Joe said it’s all relative to your power setting also. I bought a mighty mini chain ring to keep the motor
