Today I headed over to my local LBS here in Belgium to buy some maintenance items for my analog Koga trekking bike that I bought in September. I leave my Trek allant8s in Greece for obvious (battery) reasons. Had no intention on purchasing a bike but as I was there they were unloading a whole...

Ah ok thought surly named that model that way. Between surly ice cream truck and surly big dummy I got lost lol. Anyway your cargo builds are very well thought out and quite nice. They look more sturdy than the urban arrow cargo ebikes I see all over the place. Seems like a great hobby and also...

Nice build. Is that the Surly big fat dummy?

Who are James Johnson, Maria Martinez and David Smith?

I use the Ergon ST gel and have no complaints. https://www.ergonbike.com/en/product-details.html?a=saettel&anr=44040030&s=sttouring

Yes it does, it’s literally the same exact component. I purchased an extra one and it’s the same exact product number. For the 8s the 104mm/46t is stock. If you want one that has less teeth trek’s livechat feature is very helpful and they could tell you definitively if any other chain rings...

You made a great choice, Cube builds fantastic ebikes.

Oh ok understood. 45kph on off road trails is very fast in my opinion but if you feel safe by all means. I carry pepper spray for the dogs and a handgun for trouble makers. That being said chipping a Bosch CX motor is very risky and could invalidate your warranty or brick the motor. If money...

What is illegal in Greece and the EU as a whole is chipping a 25kph ebike to go higher than 25kph. Class 3 are not illegal in Greece or the EU. Many class 3 ebikes are sold by dealers in Greece but you need to have insurance and license plates for the ebike. Except on certain islands (Chios...

You are correct, this was the employee’s oversight. When I purchased my allant8s the staff at the trek lbs was superb however they were very limited in their knowledge of ebikes in general. This was March 2020. I was expecting the same issue when I went to go pick my allant and poof there it...

Dallas eh?

Very nice setu Very nice, those handlebars definitely increase the comfort. I’ve always heard good things about the Bontrager panniers. Just as good as ortliebs.

Send one to @Court so he can do a review.

Looks like it’s just been freed and heading under its own power to the wider lakes area of the canal. Supply chain catastrophe avoided thankfully.

Yea sure Evergreen is the name of the shipping Company and the ship is Evergiven. I know about marinetraffic.com for decades. As of Monday 16:00 local time it’s only 80% re-floated and the stern is still stuck in the mud bank. Their waiting until tonight for high tide to free it completely...

I’m very confident my source is more reputable than your references. Especially since 27% of the global merchant marine fleet is registered here in Chios, Greece. You may be right about the desperate part since supply chain disruptions existed before this dilemma in the suez. Dry bulk is...

Its a combination carrier. The wood pulp is in the containers as well. You are thinking of an oil tanker or natural gas tanker ship.

Yes forgot about that one.

It’s a dry bulk carrier. Dry bulk is the world’s largest freight market in terms of volume so it does make sense. Unless someone figures out an easier and cheaper way to transport 180,000 DWT of dry bulk at one time ocean freight will remain the easiest and most economical way to transport dry...
