    Tannus Armour arrived today. Got a roll of Gorilla Tape permanent adhesive sealant 4"x10'. Berryman tire sealant. I'm thinking tomorrow will be a good day to install.

    Kindness shown to Lectric rider

    So, I got loaded on cheap beer @ the park with strangers. Struggling home after dark, I'd fell a couple times on freshly graded loose gravel lol. No headlight, just moonlight lol. The next day I woke up w/ a pulled groin, chipped bottom canine, gravel scratches all over lol. Lost wallet (new...

    Ever think of getting a companion to the XP? Of course you have.

    Less than $1000. 120mi range. Underrated motor (according to the review @Electrek). What do you guys think? Add one to the collection? Here is the review.

    Bent Derailleur Guard (not what you think)

    After removal, fix tube flat, repair tire, & reinstalling the rear rim. I chose to leave it off. Eventually I'll delete the fenders, rear rack & install whitewalls. Something to do after the weekend of the forth. With all of these rides to the River this holiday, the rack & panniers are...

    Bent Derailleur Guard (not what you think)

    I agree. However, I use the folding feature often and like the protection. Without the guard, I'd have to lookout for the derailleur every time. Peace of mind.

    Bent Derailleur Guard (not what you think)

    I'd changed a flat and noticed my rear lugs were only finger tight. Also the real derailleur guard's mounting plate was slightly twisted & bent. This was pushing the derailleur mount 'out' forcing the chain off of the chainring in the XP's highest gear. So, now that the derailleur mounting plate...

    Not as of yet. I haven't made any effort to take the rim off of the bike, or even make it by Harbor Freight to grab a patch kit for that matter. I'd missed the tire order by one whole day. So, I guess I was sulking about it for an afternoon (as I'd wanted to get this flat repaired before the...

    All tires unavailable or sold out. Too bad the US doesn't make these things. Oh well, not going to get bummed out. Just accept it.

    Delay in Assist?

    I adjusted the setting for less revolutions before the motor kicks in and let me tell you. I'll be setting@ an intersection & if my peddles move AT ALL, the bike takes off. Not cool. I put that setting back to default.

    Looking for a solution for lost key

    So, my $45 chain lock has a serial number in case I'd ever lose the key. But, my $300 battery doesn't. Why?

    Cleaning.

    Anyone silicone the hole in the frame under the controller? Wish I could find a grommet to fit, for waterproofing... Curious.

    Any chance of yourself having a template I could borrow, if'n I wanted to do something similar? Thinking full logo, fender, rack delete w/ whitewalls. 😏
