    Stupid E-bike games?

    I'm constantly playing games while riding my ebike. I typically ride the same route from home and I know exactly where my battery should be at each stage of the ride. I hesitate before every shift to protect the drive train even though I have shift detect. The shift detect is a little slow some...

    Fat STREET Tires are WAY BETTER for Riding on Pavement than KNOBBY Off-Road Tires

    I cross country ski and ride my snowmobile. Keeping the driveway clear keeps me in shape

    Fat STREET Tires are WAY BETTER for Riding on Pavement than KNOBBY Off-Road Tires

    I'm with PCebiker on this. It's just too damn cold out there in N Michigan. Personally when it goes below around 45-50 degrees F.. I'm done for the season

    campagnolo crisis

    Yeah, there's no campy stuff on ebikes. They lose a lot of market share by not embracing ebikes. EIther that or manufacturers won't use Campagnolo stuff because of cost.. Again if they had a value line of components, they'd be in better shape

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I wipe the wet lube but not the chain wax. Works really well

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    For anyone that might be interested and suffered the pain of reading all six pages. The wax lube does seem to form some kind of "shell" on top of the wet lube. I have no scientific data but the chain stays cleaner than just using wet lube and also seems to wear less. That's really all I wanted...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    Good bye smorgasboard... You refuse to let it go.. Enough is enough.. Find some other thread that bothers you. In fact, I might just start one. hehehhee

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    LOL.. you're a real piece of work smorgasbord. Instead of posting chain care threads, why not start a thread warning others about the dangers of not following the manufacturers directions when lubing a chain and the potential harm that wax on top of lube can cause. I'm sure you have the data to...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I think your inability to let it go is telling. Why don't you start your own thread about the proper products and technique to lube a chain instead of continuing to throw mud on my thread... I'm quite sure EVERYONE knows how you feel about mixing wet and wax lube. If it makes you feel better...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I've been using it for 8 years on bike chains.. No mess whatsoever compared to wet lube alone. I use the chain wax alone on my motorcycle chain (katana 1100) Zero fling off, zero mess. My test method has been called into question though so proceed with caution. The big advantage of maxima chain...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    Apply the bar oil and then torch it with a propane torch to create a gummy membrane so there's no fling off :)

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I think I'll try that next just to see if smorgasbord blows a gasket

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I'm quite sure you're an expert on "science" so there's that :) By now, I'm sure everyone here is well aware of your stance on this subject. Sweet and Low was also discovered quite by accident. By combining o-sulfobenzoic acid with phosphorus chloride and ammonia (tasting random chemicals is...
