What I don't understand is, how do you measure 80% and 20% ? Do you use voltage or true capacity? The two are very different, since the relationship is non linear. Most of us use a chart like this posted here a few years ago: However, as lithium batteries age, the relationship between...

It looks like they are trying to imitate those stacked stones I see in many locations.

If it's located next to that paint & hardware store, you can get screwed, blued and tattooed all in the same place! 😁

If it were me, I would just fill the hole with JB Weld and drill it out to the proper diameter afterward. I think you would get a stronger bond that way

No bike racks around here either in this rural area. Even big outfits like Walmart don't have any provisions for bikes. The best I can do is to use a cable lock around a bunch of shopping carts. Won't stop a thief with a cable cutter, but prevents roll aways and lift offs.

IMO, the ideal solution is a convertible backpack pannier, such as the one I mentioned in Post #52.

Pannier design has come a long way in the last decade, and new models don't look at all like the old saddlebags of the past. Many have quick release mechanisms that attach & detach in seconds. Rigid backboards keep them from "flopping" and away from the tires. Bottom strap hooks keep them...

The police told the husband they would do everything they could to get his wife's stolen purse back. He said "take your time , the thief is spending a lot less than my wife" !

I can't see the back of the display where the broken clamp attaches, but I've fixed a few handlebar accessories using these clamps...

I've had spoke trouble on the last four Trek conventional bikes I've owned. I'm 250 and sometimes carry 50+ pounds of gear. I also ride rough trails and have broken 12 gauge spokes on 36 hole rims. All the bikes had a 300# rating, but I managed to break spokes anyway. When e-bike shopping, I...

I do a lot of night trail & tunnel riding. I have auxiliary lighting on the bike, but I often need to look side to side and need light when I'm off the bike. I bought this O light mini clip light for other purposes, but found it works well clipped to my helmet visor...

Wow! A heavy lead acid battery mounted that high and to the rear?? Got to have a negative effect on bike handling.

Velux here as well. Motorized open & close with automatic rain closure and adjustable blind. No leaks and perfect operation for over 35 years.
