Can't help with Apple, but on Android, when recording a ride select Settings and select Keep the Screen On. To center the ride select the button shown on the map. Now, try doing that with gloves when it is cold.......... Edit: Sorry, missed the update.........

Too funny,..........but wait until you're my age and it may become more important. I still may try a couple of Click valves.........................

I used Defender Series fenders on my old Specialized Pitch 650B and my wife's Cannondale F9. To keep mud and sand off the crank we mounted Planet Bike mud guards which are designed to be mounted at the top of the down tube. We mounted them in front of the crank instead. The combo worked...

I haven't seen the details on the MAX+ as it relates to thru axle compatibility. I have a Turbo Tero so the Swytch rides quite differently than my bike. I am about 180 lb and it has enough power for moderate hills with me on it. My son is lighter and it performs well for him. He gets about 12 mi...

I added a Swytch Kit to my son's Specialized Rockhopper 27.5. It added very little weight and performs well for a cadence sensor. Does not appear to add any rolling resistance with it powered off. Has limited range using the smallest batteries they sell so he carries a spare although they have...

lol ... I was going to refer to it as a "Tank Slapper" which is what we used to call it, but I figured I would date myself. .... I would assume the Lectric step through is the same inherent problem but additional flex in the frame architecture may also contribute. Unfortunately, maybe...

Actually, I misspoke, it was 50 years ago when I was riding small Japanese street bikes .... sigh.

40 years ago we used to buy steering dampers on some of the lighter Kawasaki and Honda street bikes. Wobbles were usually weight distribution related and easily solved. Check out this video: "My Lectric XPeak High Step Wobble GONE"

High temp today 31 degrees F. Early next week it may even hit 50 so I will definitely be out on it.

Just to put this to bed if anyone is interested. An ODIER Thru Axle Adapter M12 174-1.0 (12MM,1.0 pitch,198mm total length) from Amazon works perfect.

As ridiculous as this sounds, I bought an Elite Tuo trainer for use on my Turbo Tero during the winter months leaving the motor off. The Tero has a 12x148 thru axle. The Tuo comes with a skewer and adapters which I am temporarily using but I would like to find a thru axle that would work. Has...

I have used Topeak adapters to allow swapping between bikes and had good luck with it. I also have used the MIK adapters now that one of my bikes is a Specialized.

My wife has a 2 year old Turbo Como 3. A similar issue has occurred on hers but only 2 or 3 times. Unfortunately, she only has put about 400 miles on her bike. In her case the issue occurs when first turning it on. Bike appears to power up properly but there is no pedal assist when you start...

After fighting a recurring very slow leak and subsequent flat on my Tero and blaming the Presta valves as the culprit I finally did my homework. I went through 3 tubes, none of which leaked when I put them in water to try and find the leak (at an obviously lower pressure). Looking through the...

Our current bikes are both Specialized and have extended front fenders. However, on my old Specialized Pitch 650b and my wife's Cannondale F9 I used Planet Bike Grunge Boards mounted on the down tubes in front of the pedals. They were very effective acting as a "fender extension" and keeping our...
