    Cafe clamp/lock for XP 3.0 folder.

    I know these type of locks only prevent someone from rolling it away. Still, if I’m in sight distance/restaurant outside, this would be ok I think. Are any available/fit over the 3” tires ? If I go into a grocery store, I will use a chain or similar. Thanks. And any other suggestions welcome.

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    I’m in the process of selling my last MC. It has conventional ( no ABS) brakes. I am so used to these (55+ yrs riding), I don’t have to think about how much pressure I use on both front/ rear. My newer motorscooter of course has both brakes operated by handlebar levers ( no foot pedal). Typical...

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    Thanks for the replies. I have no problem with how it comes from the factory. I’ll swap hydraulic lines an bleed if needed. Would be easier if thr e-bike I was looking at still had cable operated disc brakes, but reciently up graded to hydraulic.

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    I have been riding MCs and Motorscooters for over 55 yrs. The handlebar brake lever on the right side operates the front brake. Just the opposite of bicycles. Why is that ? I have been swapping my bicycle brake cables around so they are the same as my MCs/ Scooters. Thanks for your replies.

    Escaping th ebike restrictions

    Do small “disabled” plate/ decal(s) exist that could be purchased and displayed on front/ back of an e- bike that would let others know ?.Being old w/ white hair and beard should be evidence enough that I’m not out to rip the trails up or terrorize others.
