In use for months now with entire satisfaction, see the alarm @ 53 seconds in? And the frame lock and chain, great for short stops. I just don't worry. Am in an area at high risk of opportunistic theft, low risk of bolt cutters and angle grinders, especially for short term parking at public...

Sounds just like mine. These things are planetary geared reduction motors and depending on the luck of the draw when power is engaged, the drive may be virtually silent, or any degree of vibratory whine. When the engagement is whiney on my bike (for example, yours may be a lot different), I...

Irrigation stuff, sprinkler nozzles, toted home from Home Depot an hour ago, and unrelated: a 2.35" front tire running with only 15PSI. A pendant bag, on one side or on both sides, automatically gimbals. Thus, the bag/s do not much affect steering, so long as the bag/s do not swing hard...

Thank you for this really extraordinary report. Great material well presented! Also, I agree with your observation about the gearing. It would benefit from a lower low. And as for you, don't you wish for a taller top gear for such high speeds? Or instead you must be a efficient...

I have less and less need for the bus, thank goodness. But if I did need to use my Miami-Dade County free Patriot Pass *am a viet era vet*, I would let most of the air out of the tires so they'd conform to the bus rack's limited tire width carrier. Our Big Asher tires can run with very little...

Hi, devhead, the rattles of the open basket are mostly going to be prevented by the tension of a cargo net. And the joints of the basket are certainly subject to dry squeaking. Just oil if wanted (though I never do). The Wald basket is naturally flexible and will be reliably silent only if...

10-pack of the bags shown above

I think he pedals more than you envision? I sure do.

Ditto, I set it at 40V too and just watch the voltage as it coasts downward and s/pace my use of the remaining current, just as Bruce does.

Yes, that is my CCS in a crop of an image snapped today. So, the =thought= of the guide ring is that the gap should be narrower than the chain is wide. But it is wider than the chain is wide. So the darned chain falls outboard and slides slick as can be and you windmill and feel like you've...

Is it dropping off the chainring and getting in between the chainring and the guard ring? If so, mine did that half the time and I could not see any proper way to stop it. The gap between chainring and guard ring was spaced nice and wide, as if it was meant mess you up and take away your drive...

It is for me. There is a sweet engagement nearly silent on my bike. And there are two other possible engagements, more or less noisy and buzzy, telegraphing noise into the entire bike

I get my glasses cheap and well made from Zenni. Am always careful to wear glasses when biking. I don't really need them, but bugs and sand invariably strike if I don't have on my glasses. It is bad enough to gulp a bug. But in my eye, no!

The Big One truly fits the rear of the CCS after a lot of hand labor. No risk of rubbing any more. The fender was made to fit, too, after a lot of hand fitting to gain good clearances. Now that this ordeal is done I am glad I did it. But if I knew how hard it would be I...I guess I would...

This is so true. And the float. The float. You can run on the shoulder of the road if need be without getting ditched. The bike "feels" as if it runs over turf almost as effortlessly as on pavement. The bumps don't get through the huge air cushion. The bumps don't bump the bike. What...

Technical description of the clamp above, how it is expected to work and be used: The half-round concentrates pressure for a series, next to each other, of very small pressings, to be repeated until the wanted clearance is achieved. The outside of the tube is prevented from crushing at all by...

Well, we are a forum of individualists. We post to share our passions and prejudices and we tolerate the oddball seeker of the best of the best. I do not need the lowest rolling resistance tire in the world on my bike today. However, I want it. And I want to make the too-wide, lowest rolling...

Just arrived today: this over two-inch capacity bridge clamp. It weighs an ounce over four pounds, If I spoil the frame, well, so be it. I do not expect to spoil the frame. PS: I expect to find 25PSI to be a fine pressure for the 2.35" wide rear tire, because during this interim period I...

Opinion piece: Our motors today are better than ever. I have a worn-out roof ventilator fan, got it from Grainger in 1984. It ventilated the garage for over 25 years, on virtually 24/7. A G.E. sleeve bearing motor with ports to squirt the occasional oiling. Over twenty-five years on a...
