Yes he really is a value to our forum indeed.

A little off topic but I read that it is never a good idea to leave your dropper post in the down position during off season riding and never attach it to a bike work stand by the post as well. I like to always follow that rule as a precaution.

I never could get enough of John Entwistle with the Who back in the day. Top of my list also.

A Warm Welcome Steve. A wealth of info here. Hope you find the answers you are looking for. Many experienced members on this platform. ;)

"that job was completed in July 2020 "-Way to go Mike!-Job well done and with 2000 mls on it to boot. Just goes to show you what bikers have to go through when your LBS decides to no longer exist. I recently had a close call with the shop I have been dealing with for decades. They just sold to...

Sounds about right, more market hype. Some posters were complaining the E-bike rated Shimano cassettes are retailing for approx $375-$400 dollars US. The equivalent of 7-8 non E-bike rated cassettes at that price point. Just crazy pricing IMO!

Sorry to hear that. Eventually you will find one. Sometimes local Craig's List or other bike selling sights have them in "used" condition.

Those are some very nice mods to fit your personal needs indeed! I am beginning to learn more and more about these tricky components that will need replacing now and again. Before this, I was oblivious to the choices or the lack thereof. I have been having to cross-reference and confirm OEM...

This is a pretty good recommendation if you are on a tight budget. I like the tire cradles that can fit plus tires also. 👍

I purchased my 1 1/4 inch receiver hitch mount from them and it was an interesting DIY, but everything came out just the way I wanted. Good company with a very large selection. They also have good expert opinions in this area on their website. Good Luck with your purchase.

Hey Mike- Impressive, but expensive list of gear for your next project. No cutting corners on these tools either considering you're going with PT brand. Does not look like your current setup would fit a 42t cassette setup. Hope all goes well for you. I am slowly building up a stash of bike...

"movie prop from those John Wick movies" Or the James Bond film with the helicopter buzz saw scene in "The World is Not Enough"! o_O

Oh yeah, this is impressive. As I always knew all along, Ravi would indeed "knock this one out of the park" with this Grand Slam E-bike! Go Chicago Cubs, oops I mean Ravi's Star Edition! 👍 😁

Wow those are chainsaw shark teeth indeed! Mike-Your Haibike came with stock Shimano drivetrain parts (chain and cassette)? Mine has KMC and SunRace stock parts. Was looking for a compatible Shimano cassette to replace my SunRace MS2, however, I went with the MS3 replacement. They are just about...

Thanks! Does anyone see any visual imperfections in the photos? I have been scouring the internet to get comparisons, and it appears the last 2 cogs are spaced out a bit more than they should be along with bent tips on those teeth.

Not quit sure about that Stephan. Perhaps someone else could chime in on that...

I took a couple snaps of my last two cogs (11 and 13t). I also noticed when I run my fingernail along the outside of them, it catches my nail as the pointed part is slightly bent. I've reached out to Modern Bike and other suppliers and they indicated they do not carry replacements for those 2...

I was asking the LBS mechanic about my front chainring removal. He said that as standard procedure, they just remove the crank for chainring removal. Using the special chainring nut wrench is not worth the hassle due to limited space to get behind it. They keep many different Spline BB tools on...

How cool is that "chainring canvas'. The artistic expression is coming out full speed ahead. o_O

From my understanding, the hanger was checked out and no problems found. I will mention that when I get back to the LBS. I started seeing skipping problems at approx 2,000 miles. I have also played with the shifter barrel adjustment as well, which actually did tweak it for a better finer tune.
