    Any recommendations for replacement fat tire?

    All, After nearly 2k miles, it's time to replace my rear (and soon my front) tires. The bike originally came with 4" knobby fat tires. I mainly use this bike for commuting on streets... Sometimes my rides can be very wet. And at least for now, I've sworn off riding when there is ice/snow. Any...

    Bike racks. What do you use, and why?

    Are there any suggestions for transporting up to four (4) bikes (two ebikes and two regular) - aside from renting a van? The quikrack mach 2 looks cool, but it's probably expensive as hell and doesn't even seem to actually exist at this point. I do really like the potential modularity of it...

    Broken spokes - R750

    My bike is finally back!!! So a new set of Pillar spokes was about $60 from SunnySpokes. Can't speak highly enough of this place! LBS (Handlebars) rebuilt the wheel for about $50. Admittedly, I wasn't super thrilled about the response from M2S: "Spokes are 2.50/pc and nipples are .50/pc. There...

    Broken spokes - R750

    No dice with M2S. Spokes aren't covered. I get it, but it sucks. Definitely mixed feelings about the company wrt this situation. And to rub salt in the wound, it appears that I will be able to purchase SAPIM spokes from Sunnyspokes (I've seen this recommended elsewhere on EBR) for less than I'm...

    Broken spokes - R750

    After reading your comments, I'm trying one more time to see if M2S will send replacement spokes for free... I guess we'll see. But in the meantime, harryS, is there any reason you recommend replacing 12g with a lower gauge spoke? Saphim makes 12g spokes... I was thinking about going that route...

    Broken spokes - R750

    I know it's a little crazy. I was and still am fairly surprised by this. And I can't say for how long it was happening... Maybe they were gradually breaking over the course of the past few months. The only thing that pointed me to the spokes was a single snap that occurred just a few meters...

    Broken spokes - R750

    All, I'm about 10 months and 1300 miles on my M2S R750. A week or so ago I noticed the back of the bike felt a little squishy. Turns out there are 16 broken spokes on my rear tire - all snapped at the bend. I've read a few posts about broken spokes, but 16 seems like a large number. Also, 15/16...
