That's great!

I had a ONE briefly and recall the rear fender clearance was kinda tight. Not all tire profiles are created equal and you might bet stuck buying a tire, pulling the rear wheel, installing the new tire, re-installing just to see if it clears would be what I'd do if no one had a confirmed fit...

Like I told the wife. We got the time, patience, average quality furniture, fenced in yard and easy access to walking areas and a dog park. My cats would adapt to a dog? I think they'll figure it out. We do drop-offs of donation food to the local shelter twice a month, both cat and dog food, but...

I keep telling my wife to get involved in the foster dog program in our area. She says "What if I fall in love with the dog, then someone adopts it?"and I'm like either adopt it yourself or try to arrange a visitation at a dog park if the dog is still in the area. A dog would keep the wife...

We have this "Made in blah blah...." argument all the time on motor scooter forums. As long as the quality control is put into the product I don't care if its made in China. The company I work for takes the obsolete models and sends them to be made in China. Quality is the same as the German and...

That is weird. I see a bunch of Aventon ebikes in my area, both old and newer, and all the owners have nothing but good things to say about 'em. And these are regular,normal people, users. Some use them daily and some are fair weather riders. I've also seen some in the thousands of miles. Hope...

Thieves will cut down the power pole you say, you mean junkies! I was going to work one day and the pickup truck in front of me went off the road and hit a power poll! The pole came down across the front of the truck, and I'm thinking the driver had a medical emergency. Was I in for a surprise...

Ha ha! Broken spokes! I have 2 rear wheels for my Lectric Xpedition. One is currently off and waiting for repair, It has a broken spoke and some are now all off tension. The current wheel on the bike has a random hub issue starting. I think a torque arm is stripped out. Anyways, I go to pull the...

I've done the task of replacing each spoke, one at a time to match them up the same. Then I had a good wheel guy do the truing. This was a common bmx wheel though. No dishing or any other fancy stuff. I imagine a hub drive with a cassette would be harder. But that is a option (I guess).

I have yet to see a XP4 up close in person so I have no idea what size the end of the kickstand is. The 3.0 had a kickstand made of old cat food cans, the old nasty tin ones. Mine 3.0 kickstand broke so I ended up finding a nice Greenfield one that fit. The Greenfield stands have good sized boot...

I got the new Cox up and running, plus my wife pays for it so I'm fine with it for now. Still had to re-connect everything. You tend to forget all the stuff that has to be linked to the network until you have to do it. My old phone had a hot spot option, and it was super easy to link stuff to...

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.

Im on the web this morning watching a video when suddenly it freezes. I drop down to my laptops connection page wondering why I lost connection. I watched, in real time, my routers name get changed!? What the...... Spectrum merged with Cox as one of our internet providers. This was supposed to...

That movie was on one of those low key regular TV channels not long ago and you know I watched it! I stumbled upon it by pure chance and afterwards found myself looking at a CFR300L (L for lame). I liked that movie back in the day and I still enjoy it now.

For farting around on a $1200 priced ebike with mags (Heybike Saturn) would be fine for my needs. But I want reliable quality and a one and done ebike so I know to pass on the Saturn. I don't need a ancient Xpedition and a Saturn sitting around. Wife is now saying to just make the jump in...
