    V brake ok on an ebike?

    V-brakes are convenient to maintain, but I´m big & since there was a mount, I put a manual disc up front & a HD caliper rear. A disc on the rear can make it a real chore if you need to change a spoke. You may have to remove the disc & caefully manage the tiny screws just to get at some spokes...

    Protective Bike Gloves

    I got a surprisingly good quality pair of motorcycle gloves on ebay, $12 & change, warm & durable leather that will save my hands if I have to lay it down, . They have a zippiered cuff that extends well up my wrist. Tried finding ´em in ´my ebay´, but too far back to show. They´d make good ski...

    Seems Joe is taking a lot of heat for not getting anything done. Why do you suppose that is? Couldn´t possibly be the ongoing obstruction by those who oppose the right to vote,,,,among other things?

    Fierce lookin bunch, I wouldn´t want ´em huntin´ my hide. They look like they´re proud to serve. I´d much prefer China as an ally than an enemy.

    The Green Room

    Down deep in my heart I think the only thing that will get folks committed is when things become so terrible that nothing will help anyway. Glad I´m old & probly won´t be around to see it. For now the only solution I see is a pandenic or war with such high mortality that 2/3 of humanity is wiped...

    The Green Room

    Don´t look at me, I´m rather disgusted with politics & politicians in general, whatever their party. They can´t seem to make much relevant progress on climate change or any ´green´ issue´. As I´ve said all along, if anything is to be done it is the people themselves who will have to do it.

    That´s so cold ...Thing is, in my area there are sereral naval installations with vessels coming & going from all over the globe including the orient. Westerm WA. had the 1st cases of C-19 in the U.S., & yet it seems among the first to show strong recovery. I think SARS has been here for sometime.

    Patty, is that because peolpe here are the most vaxxed, or the most heathy? Could they have all had it already? Could it be an asymtomatic carrier infected them with a more benign varient giving them immunity? I have no answers. Post office here took down the mask requirement sign. ?

    Indeed, all those who feel at risk should be vaxed. My region, the western shore of Puget Sound had the least new cases of any in the entire lower 48..

    First dog attack

    Options that may or may not work:: 1) slow down when approaching a suspect dog & speak to it in a calm soothing voice. 2) Hit the throttle & go like hell. 3) Carry a balloon or squirt gun full of ammonia. 4) get bit & sue the dog´s owner. 5) Call animal control & demand the dog be destroyed. 6)...

    I try for the middle ground, things that might reunite the country though i admit to leaning left. Nothing pleases me more than when I get a ´like´ from posters far right & far left. There is really a great need to set aside our differences. It is the only road to real progress.
