On holidays right now, but I can find a link when I get back. It was from Alibaba. Not too hard to install, would have been easy if I would have gotten a bearing race and star nut ahead of time.

That's the hub drive version that's so cheap, unless I am mistaken. Was debating buying one when I got mine, as you save so much money. He brought a few of those in for a basic option, but the price jumps quite a bit when going MD. Nice catch on the new ones coming out on the FB site, I like...

Local shop, velocity cycle in Edmonton. They had these oddball 33dpi versions for $175Cdn and a buy one, get one half off sale, so they ended up at 132 each plus tax, or about $100 US

Thanks all for the help! First step for winter: Not the fancy 120 tpi version, but a 33 tpi. At half the price I could not pass it up

I've had an airbag vest for a number of years for motorcycling after I totaled my machine going around a deer. Light, fits over anything. Horse riders use them too. For cycling I wear my mesh jacket from my motorcycling days, lots of armor in all the right place, light, and (fairly) cool:

Is there a worthwhile difference between the 27 tpi and 120 tpi Dillinger 4's? Quite a price spread

Good advice. Anyone use the Dillinger 4's? It's a substantial investment, but I was very happy with my Schwalbe Ice Spykers on my regular mountain bike.

Interesting point! Probably better protected, and no oil to lose. How about theft? I really like the way it looks out in the open, maybe others do too.

Here's how mine is sitting after a summer: -Generic suspension fork (to smooth the ride) -Suntour NCX 12 seat post (ditto) -Mountain Cycling forward deflector (light mud shield) -Mucky Nutz rear fender (similar) -MEC Quattro front light -Garmin VIRB camera mount -Garmin watch holder (for heart...

Are you running your NCX's with the cover or without?

Thinking of continuing on with my 10 km commute this winter, bearing in mind it gets down to -20 Celcius (-4 Fahrenheit) pretty regularly. I used to commute all winter with a regular mountain bike with studded tires, but not nearly as far. What is needed to do this with an electric fatty? Was...

I have to say my experience with the crowd funded Biktrix has been great. Being an electric bike newbie, it seemed the best available option at the time for the price, and it has met all my expectations and then some. Can still see the crowdfunding supporting a lot of well priced and innovative...

Transferred over my monkey lights from my old winter bike, tested them in the garage:

I picked up a full face Bell helmet on sale in the winter for $50.00, after a co-worker fell so hard at speed biking she needed surgery to push her cheekbones back out. Find it surprisingly light and comfortable...

Nothing, one of those ones that went through. Probably doesn't happen every time! Ended up being 43.70 Euro plus another 2.50 for an extra cover, and 20 Euro shipping, 99.20 Cdn.

Anyone run monkeylights on their electric bike? Now that it's getting darker out I'm thinking of switching them from my regular machine, would seem like electric with the greater speed would be made for them. These are what I have, were a fun way to get through the dark days of winter...

In Canadian mine worked out to just under a hundred all in. They minus the VAT, which makes up for the shipping. Arrived quickly, about a week to Alberta. Got it from the same German shop I think. It's nice, I quite like it. Have to get used to sitting back in the rough stuff to let it work...

For alarmed locks, check out motorcycle suppliers, ie Revzilla or Motorcycle Superstore: ie: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-security http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/10980421/d/motorcycle-alarms

For gravel trails I'm finding my fat bike is astoundingly good, either the Radrover or the Biktrix should work well for you, depending if you want to go rear or mid drive.

I started on a regular longboard, upgrading to an electric board w/regular wheels (Evolve Pintail) a year later, Then when my commute grew, upgraded that to an electric board with rubber tires (Evolve Carbon w/roadie wheels). Do my work commute (22 km r/t) on the board if it's sunny, on...
