I am always impressed with your posts. Whenever I see them, I don't know if I should be more impressed with the rider or the bike.

Could you share your setup? I have a Garmin 540 and 1030 for a Creo. I haven't checked with the 1030 but the 540 doesn't show the Range Extender battery data in any form. It isn't a primary concern to see the Range Extender data but if it is available I would like to set it up. I was...

I am no expert on this bike or any bike but if you look at the Wabash RT(no suspension) it has a similar stand over height (818 mm) for medium. Small is 781 mm I have a Specialized Creo medium with a standover height of 759 mm and I feel comfortable and safe on this bike. I also have a...

I actually haver several variations of a repair stand. I usually clean my bike the most but not often enough so I use this mount to just hold it in place. If more stability is needed I use the other mount. I usually do most maintenance in the enclosed front porch but I do have the...

This has been in the works for a while. Not because of the difficulty but because I was in no rush. I have an old Park repair stand with the old style fork mount. Park makes a thru axle adapter but it is for a 12x100 mm fork/axle. I needed one for a 12/110 mm axle. It would probably work...

Thanks for the comments. The connector going into the battery protrudes too much preventing sliding the battery in upside down. The tolerance is too close with the PVC pipe.

I can never find a good place to store the battery extender. It normally rolls out of place or takes up more space than I want it to. I cut a 3.5 inch PVC pipe to fit and used a cut piece for the bottom to keep it from sliding through. If you never (or even if you did) cut PVC pipe before...

I visit the island of Kauai in Hawaii often. So often that I decided to take a bike there and leave it there. Unfortunately, it isn't an electric bike. I could use one there. I was riding one day on an isolated road and saw a person with a motorcycle stopped on the side navigating a drone...

I agree. It isn't even safe if a person isn't out to get you. I take a different approach to a Varia. There is no certainty in knowing if a vehicle in back of you will jeopardize you. I use the Varia to help me keep aware of things in FRONT of me. For example, if I were to make a left...

I have a Garmin 1030 Plus and it does show a cadence of 1 with no pedal movement but not always. As the image shows, there is no speed but the cadence shows 1 when stationary. As far as their being a difference? Yes, the difference is 1. Does it matter? Maybe. If my bank statement shows...

Before I take my bike in which I really don't want to do, I thought I would ask here if anyone has encountered this concern. Twice on different rides, the power setting was locked in the Sport mode. I couldn't go up (Turbo) or down (Eco or off). Both times, I just rode it back home in the...

Am I to assume that no brake lines were disconnected? What size is your bike frame? Did you get the larger case to be safer? Any pictures of YOUR bike in the case?

I was looking into purchasing a spare chain but didn't feel like counting the amount of links on my bike. Thank you for checking. Like I mentioned, I am not ready to count the amount of links but by comparing images, mine also looks like it has 114 links.

I did watch the video prior to posting. I applied the front brakes, rocked the bike and didn't notice any movement. I even inserted a piece of paper under the bezel and didn't feel a change in resistance. I didn't try this same procedure while riding and going over bumps being I probably...

Just an update. Maybe not the proper place for the fix but you were right with this noise concern. As mentioned above, the noise started with a clicking/rattling/knocking noise while climbing a steep grade. You would almost think that it was related to the rotation of the pedals since the...
