Here are a couple photos of my handlebar stem. I have raised the stem angle which has helped to create a more upright riding position on my Ultimate T10+

I too like a more upright posture but not to the level of a cruiser type bike. I accomplished this by moving the stem to a more upright position. I will try to get a picture posted that shows this. Other modifications have been to use a more padded saddle and SQ Lab 710 grips. As far as...

I enjoyed the Mallorca series. Lighthearted with a bit of intrigue.

I am not at all surprised at your experience. I have the Ultimate T10+ and have ridden up Vail Pass in Colorado a few times. It is a 10 mile climb. The bike never struggles or lacks torque when needed. I have not experience with the bike in colder weather. The roads here have mostly been...

Check out the Hollywood Destination E-bile Rack. I am very happy with the design as well. I considered the Thule racks as well but the design would not work with our two bikes Hollywood Rack

I would definitely recommend a test ride if able If this is what you mean by an "electric scooter" I would personally prefer an electric bike. I think it would be more versatile in the end.

I am not surprised that you could not get a 9 speed chain quick link to work on your 7 speed OEM chain. Chain width varies significantly by the chain type. https://www.statecyclist.com/bike-chain-size-chart/

Quoting PCeBiker "I think you should reuse everything and rebuild it the way it came apart. There was nothing wrong with the wheel except for the short axle, and it's probably got better quality components/metal than what's commonly available today." I think this is the way to go. Assuming...

For a torque wrench, I went with this unit. It is only calibrated in in lbs so a conversion is required to torque fasteners in Nm. I have been happy with the quality of this tool. This company has generally had a good reputation on the BITOG forum. I did look at several bike specific torque...

Congratulations on your new bike! I am also riding a Gazelle Ultimate T10+. I think you will be very happy with the bike.

I also feel much safer with a left side mirror. I went with the Mirrycle with the mirror itself mounted below the handlebars and rotated in. This limits the mirror being bumped and to my eye looks less intrusive and much better. This gives me the ability to watch for oncoming traffic and to know...

When reflectors are not enough. :cool: https://www.getccled.com/

Here are the pertinent laws I could find for Colorado: As to the minimum necessary equipment in order to legally ride at night, C.R.S. § 42-4-221 requires the following: A white headlight on the front of your bike that is visible for at least 500 feet; A red reflector on the back of your bike...

The details on this photo appear on review to show that a part of the cover may have broken off from the cover. Perhaps this piece could be epoxied back onto the cover? This may salvage the cover and get you back on the road.

The variations shown makes me wonder if all the derailleur's had a clutch and/or whether it was engaged. My bike has a Shimano Deore derailleur which has a clutch but I do not feel the need to use it on the conditions I ride.
