The woman who is riding across the country offroad with her tent and gear took her bike to a shop a few days ago. They replaced the chain. She hates it. I boiled a new KMC e10 all of last night and am sending it ahead to her sister in Chicago today. The famous shop's co-owner said it was the...

Once I took a toilet seat cover at work and with scissors and invisible tape made a mobius one and put it back in the holder. Do you know what happens when you cut a mobius strip in half long-ways? This tool does it all but only when the mechanic is in the right state of mind. I really need to...

Funny you would say that because the paradox spanner can only be opperated by mechanics on shrooms!

This is my go to.

An old peanut butter jar with Dawn water with a volatile solvent stripper will remove the factory gunk when shaken and then rinsed several times. But then it immediately needs corrosion protection. A clean chain that is rusty is no fun.

New tire rear tire = new chain and gears. I just had this conversation: Patrice, I just ordered the new KMC e-chain. It is pricy yet fits the need. It arrives sometime Monday. I will boil it in wax and ship it. The number of links should be just right with no cutting. You may be able to Insall...

I have a $13 mini crock pot with wax. The unwashed new chain goes in and cooks. It has a broken coat hanger through it in several spots. I jiggle it several times over an hour. Little bubbles come out as the wax goes in. Then I hang it from my vice handle. Everyone has vices. What is cool as...

A head-on collision is so effed! Especially when you got your kid the $5,000 eMoto he was begging for, "I will be an A student mom, and the Football Captain too for that," and then he loses control going the wrong way, doing 50, when a beat up panel van runs over his head with a just a regular...

It is still a fun and funny cartoon. As far as I know, Karma has never been personified in art before. And I think it is funny that she is holding hands with natural selection.

The thing is people in the general public are saying eBike and blaming eBikes when they really mean eMoto. When it is the motos that are creating all the problems. So, the distinction needs to get out there. 350W of pedal assist is not 18Kw on a throttle with no pedals.

What is the difference between eMotos (electric motorcycles) and eBikes (assisted bicycles)?

I have a Sr. friend with a huge eTrike. We put in Tanus in his 4.5" 26 rim front tire. He was thinking that it keeps losing air. Really what is happening is that the Tanus is compressing. It starts at about an inch thick but will eventually compress to the thickness of a dime.

The answer is automotive split-sleeve loom or corrugated tubing as a full chain guard.
