As we change in body or mind, we must change our lifestyle. Not fun, but no one asked us whether we wanted to grow old; it just happens. Well, hang in there and do what you have to do!

Very interesting calculators! Thanks!

I just got some WTB Vulpine gravel tires put on. 700 x 40. WTB website recommends 25 to 50 psi, but I assume that is for tubeless use, and I am still running tubes. (The bike shop tech didn't think my rims were compatible with tubeless, based on the inside ridges.) The tech said he wouldn't...

He really could do sh*t on a shoestring.

Oooh, a Trekkie! Well, sort of. 🙃

By all means, STAND on those pedals. Just don't brake hard suddenly while doing it... 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🤪 I'm so glad I never bought an Alfine or Nexus. It could not withSTAND my leg power. :cool: Should I have gone into STAND-up comedy? (Don't answer that) 😌

Let us know if they cover it. My local Yamaha dealer wouldn't touch mine when I brought it in for a loose headset (which needed spacers added) and they said they no longer even had a way to select warranty repair (for reimbursement) in their Yamaha dealership software.

That is exactly the information I was looking for today. I want to change out my current CST E Series Pro tires for something that will not struggle on dirt & gravel (mostly hard packed I hope, but one never knows when a loose area might present itself). The LBS has some WTB Vulpines (not the...

Bugs are free protein. Get 'em while they're fresh! :D

Oh, well that explains why you're not using it any more. 😉

That's the thing: when they're being removed and reinstalled on a regular basis, they don't have time to weld into place from galvanic corrosion. It's when aluminum and brass are kept mated for at least a few months that they can bond to one another. I write this as a PSA for those who don't...

You speak from personal experience? :D (You walked right into that one, LOL!)

It depends on your expectations, partly. If you have owned and enjoyed riding a bicycle in the past, you might want to look for an ebike that will be of similar size and style. So for example, a lot of people seem to like their Lectric XP folding ebikes, and they're affordable (about $1000...
