i have been killing it 2-3 times a week. had some broken parts on a big climb , somehow rear derailleur got in the spokes. shimano drive motor has a bit of over run , that can be adjusted. i climb some big shit and that little bump is helpful getting up wet rocks , ledges, etc. bad part is overrun keeps going when you hear the crunching . pulled 2 spoke nipples right through the wheel. so i go for a wheel, needed a driver for nx drivetrain which is the same as shimano old stuff. found a spank 359 with that hub on it, but aluminum not steel. ebike needs steel. i figured i would get back out there at least as my drivetrain was still in good shape. i did put a gx derailleur with the wheel. it took no time for the cassette to chew up the aluminum hub. creaking and clacking , had to go. so i bought spank hub for gx, gx chain , and a sram front ring. set it up perfect and it's a dream. that shit was costly , and for the moment i'm a little gunshy about doing it again. still tearing it up and having so much fun. our trail system runs through some resorts . the one brings a hip nyc crowd. not my peeps but i ride through on a saturday and the women are all in the woods walking on our trails. lots of them and mostly attractive. they are shocked that i can ride through the roots or climb up the hill leaving a sweet spot called the ice box. nice waterfall. couple saturdays back i was heading back to where i park , and the woods had people all over, in the creek, thumping dj up on the hill in the woods. i'm ripping down a rough section and see some people so i slowed a bit. girl on the side was so gorgeous i almost went in the woods . i told my buddy i felt like a had blue balls after i saw her , lol .
