Oh wow! Good luck with the sale, Chris!

outstanding!

Well, guilt or no guilt, I’m glad you do, Charge. Some of us enjoy riding vicariously through you. I have no interest in any form of competition when I’m riding. To me, it’s a matter of enjoying my time in the saddle. I do challenge myself occasionally with a moderately difficult trail, but...

Sounds like you’re having a lot of bad luck, olbriar. Good luck with your solution(s).

Specialized, I would think. ??

Oy.

Give ‘em a call! If nothing else, they’d point you in the right direction.

foofer, I think the confusion might be that the black is the wheel itself, and the silver coating was on top of that. It seems to me the coating got ripped off when the tape was removed, and that’s what looks weird/crappy. I don’t know what the silver coating was originally for but it does...

Figures right? :)

Charge, this feature showed up on RideWithGPS…. Just a heads up. I don’t know if it’d be useful for you or not, but thought I’d mention it. I’m not sure how the fire information is sourced and/or whether it’s accurate, but it sounds interesting. In any case, stay safe, man!

Actually, Sandy, I’m not sure about my “maths” either. I know the power ratings from one of these Avinox motors is about 1500W (which, at ~2HP is nowhere near a car’s engine). But you were (correctly) talking about torque, and that is not the same thing. It’s been a very long time since I...

Sandy, I think you need to check your math here… If I’m not mistaken, we’re talking about 2 horsepower or so… Certainly, more power from a mid-drive means more stress on the drivetrain. But I don’t think we’re in the same ballpark here as auto or even motorcycle territory.

I ride with no hands very frequently. I’m not sure there’s any “purpose” other than relaxing the back and just chillin’. Of course, my bike has fat-bike geometry which makes it easy. @Marcela you’re right that old “10-speed” bike geometry was very different than today’s. I’m not sure how...

Hahaha! Love it. So, what makes a chain hate-worthy, Pedal?

Some nice customizations there, Sandy!
