    Silly to call that gravel, but I’ll be riding through it is “fun.” :D Now you’re speaking my language, Stefan!

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    Hard to say. It’s a stealthy “keep off my bike, thief. You’re gonna’ regret it” kind of protection device. Kinda’ messy too. :D

    What brake pads do I buy???

    Despite whining about the dirtiness of these lovely bike repairs… I’m getting pretty good at it. :D

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    They’re the ones with shotgun shells in their seat posts, Pedal… ;) It’s known as an “ejection seat” in the trade!

    What brake pads do I buy???

    Hey, thanks for that, PedalUma… I didn’t see any O-rings when I disassembled things. That would’ve freaked me out. And, yes I was able to remove the two bolts/screws from each caliper completely and easily. There were a few washers, and they differed between front and rear, but I don’t think...

    What brake pads do I buy???

    Disc pad replacement time for Fättie. After 2500+ miles, these pads that I took off weren’t completely gone, but the ones I took from the donor bike are quite a bit better (not shown). I figure I have at least another 1000 miles of life on them. I have to say, these maintenance repairs I’ve...

    Grizl:ON CF 7 - Puppy Delivered to Vet

    That’s exactly how my Juiced controller/display works. You set the wheel circumference in one of the menus. I assumed @Catalyzt had already looked into that, assuming it’s possible on that bike.

    Velotric Breeze 1 — a powerful lightweight cruiser

    @Underdog you might wanna try calling these guys up to find out what the minimum inseam size is, and bar reach adjustability. Yeah, definitely a step-through, but the seat height (and bar reach) will have to work for her. Good luck. 4’ 10” is gonna be a tough ask. I don’t know if there are...

    Now you’re talking some serious carbo loading. Good idea if you’re gearing up to ride to Pt Reyes (from Mill Valley). :D

    Rode to Pt. Reyes once. That was a long day on the bike. The Mex food ride ( :) ) sounds awesome!

    :D I have to admit, prior to my diabetes, I used to love fudge. I’ve never been much of a packer, though. ;) Back in the early ‘90s, I used to ride the fire road up Mt. Tamalpais on many weekends, Pedal… Marin is a fabulous place to live/ride.

    I’d say a 12ga. enema would make a strong deterrent. :D

    best security ideas for ebike

    To each his own, of course, but AirTags are the bees’ knees, IMO. I travel with firearms, and my case(s) have AirTags as well as my luggage. This is particularly helpful in airports re: peace of mind. Did my gun arrive? What about my luggage? Especially, “where is it?” Sometimes the bag...
