    Best Rock Ever? Nominations, No Air Supply!

    I came of age in the late 60's and early 70's and usually gravitated towards the folk/ballad/country rock styles over hard rock. There are so many groups, musicians and songs from that era that I still listen to regularly, that I can't really name a favorite. But here is one of the early ones I...

    Sena has "dumbed down" the Sena R1 Evo helmet.

    I haven't noticed any degradation tied to number of users. I have 5 helmets and on occasion we have had all 5 linked on the same channel. Of course, if a rider gets out of range or if the terrain and other obstacles interfere with the signal, the user will drop out. With the mesh connection on...

    My wife has a Evelo Compass trike that she likes. It is mid drive rear wheel drive with differential, 3 speed IGH shifter, throttle, mechanical disc brakes and 2 batteries. https://evelo.com/products/compass

    PA eBike Rules for Trails Finalized

    Sounds like good common-sense regulation to me. I like this line: "Therefore, DCNR’s policy is focused on managing behavior, not devices."

    Old Newby

    My wife loves her Evelo Compass trike and has a little over 1000 miles on it now. She has never had a fall with it, but like all upright trikes it has a fairly high center of gravity. So she learned early on to slow down when turning. It tops out at about 15 or 16 mph which is plenty fast for a...

    Old Newby

    75 and been riding my Gazelle ebike for 4 years now, and looking forward to next spring so I can start year 5 of ebiking! My wife is 78 and after several falls with her 2-wheel ebike a couple of years ago, we "upgraded" her to an e-trike and she still goes on most rides with me. We are very...

    Nyon Retrofit

    If anyone is still looking for the original Bosch Nyon that uses the same mount as the Intuvia, it looks like this seller from Austrailia has 3 more of them for sale in "new" condition. It's the updated 8 GB version including the thumb control ($220 "buy it now" plus $20 shipping to US). (Note...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ Schwalbe Energizer Plus Tires

    I just leave the Schrader adapters on my Gazelle Arroyo. I know it isn't recommended to do that, but after 4 years and 2000 miles, it hasn't really caused me any problems. So for me, I guess convenience has won out over best practice. I check / top off tire pressures pretty regularly but I don't...

    Arroyo chaingard adjustment

    Just out of curiosity, does your Arroyo have the Shimano Nexus 8 speed IGH shifter? That is what my 2017 Arroyo has and I noticed on my last few rides that it is making a noise in 8th gear, even if I am just coasting and not pedaling. I am hoping that is an adjustment and not an indication that...

    Arroyo chaingard adjustment

    When that happens with my Arroyo, my LBS tightens the chain. It only seems to last a while before it gets noisy again. I bet my LBS will recommend replacing the chain the next time I have my bike serviced. I have ~2000 miles on my Arroyo, so I suspect the chain is somewhat worn/stretched. I plan...

    I yeeted my AXA cafe lock

    I like the cafe lock too. I bought the plug-in cable so I can secure the bike to a bike rack or post as an additional deterrent. So it is like having 2 locks with one key. I have worried about losing the key, but so far it has worked well for me (after owning my Gazelle Arroyo for 5 years).

    Forum location error?

    I think you are right ... this is probably not controlled by the web site determining your location, but by whatever was typed in the search box and then carried from session to session with a cookie. I don't remember ever typing my zip code in the search, but I probably did at some time and now...

    Forum location error?

    Recently, the "Ebike Shops Near You" ads at the bottom of the EBR Forum web page started showing bike shops on the USA west coast (I am in Iowa). I am not using VPN or anything else that would mask my online location. It is not a big deal as I know where my local LBS's are, although it was...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    Here is an example of a used gen 1 nyon on ebay. This one is the newer version with 8 GB memory and includes the thumb remote. The first release of the nyon only had 1 GB of memory, although that was sufficient storage for the way I use my nyon. The nyon in this listing ships from Germany and is...

    Replace or Upgrade Intuvia

    If you can find the original nyon and the required thumb control (either used or new), that would be an easy replacement for the intuvia and a worthwhile upgrade IMO. Installation is simple and requires no rewiring except for replacing the thumb control which is a simple task. The first gen...

    Nyon Retrofit

    I have to agree. I love my gen. 1 nyon, and the install was a piece of cake. That is why I also bought a spare just in case the original fails. The only thing I do with the spare is plug it in to a USB charger a couple of times a year to keep the battery topped off. I never understood why Bosch...

    Nyon Retrofit

    Here is a rare find ... The original Bosch Nyon (first generation) including the remote thumb control ... listed as "New" on eBay auction (ships from Australia). This is the Nyon version that can replace the Intuvia using the same mount as the Intuvia. A couple of years ago, these were easily...
