    Which suspension post for a comfort upright bike

    Cane Creek has the ST and LT Thudbuster seat posts that have been reviewed many times here on EBR. The LT travels quite a bit and even the ST model has 50mm of travel - great for trail and rough riding I'm sure. For my road riding I wanted something for the long rides and when the pavement gets...

    I need more Advise, Please......

    Hello friend, To show you the handle bar setup I replaced the above bike with - I went to a Jones Bar (so comfortable, swept back angles like a motorcycle grip, can ride for hours and hours) that as you can see below I bar wrapped the middle parts - use it to stretch my hands and switch grip...

    You make us smile and blush a little with your wit and humour knowing you're 80 my new friend. 😂 I went digging for a photo to share, as it was a few years ago the last time I used these handle bar extensions - worked great for me on the bike I had at the time. I had my bike computer span the...

    Ebike and Home Trainer

    Previously I have used a separate rim/hub (non-e) that I swapped into the rear of an ebike, putting the rim with the hub motor aside for the winter and used it on a traditional resistance trainer. This winter I plan to do the same but with a new trainer with the resistance wheel and cassette...

    Hey there OlePhart (Love your handle by the way) - I have used these extensions myself on a couple bikes and they work awesome. Not only more space but you can angle the arm up an inch or two for better viewing. One quick note -Note the lengths are only 10cm or 20cm typically depending on the...

    www.thebikeshop.com - safe to order from?

    Hello friends, The 'Is this too good to be true' thread gave me a reminder about online suppliers that are in fact scam operations. My search for a particular set of rims lead me to www.thebikeshop.com and no place else, at least on my first decent search. I did my basic homework, not the...

    E-bikes for heavy riders?

    You may find many of the brands/models actually will accommodate your current weight. That is what I found when I started my research last year and I was much heavier at 315lbs. What I learned is in particular models with rear hub motors having shorter spokes are quite strong and capable of...

    Bionx battery callibration question

    Thanks for all the details RandallS, makes helping you even easier. I do love my Bionx equipment as well - even if the 3 bikes, 6 motors and 7 batteries I own are becoming 'collector car' like already, lol. This summer however may be the transition I am resisting - I'm building out 3 new fully...

    How do you store your bike?

    The models I have shown in my photo - you are correct, they are not mud guard friendly. Steadyrack does have a model that is compatible with mudguards. I have not tried it myself. In the video I linked you can see this model in action as well if it helps. Rated for 25kg it could still be an...

    Good stuff. Check out the video I just linked to as well to help make your decision. Cheers

    How do you store your bike?

    I was thinking the hooks (my first option when I started to research) would be a bit tricky with the weight of the ebikes and I worried about all that weight pulling on a spoke. The steady rack design took care of the spoke concern and what I learned (they have some nice video's that helped...

    Bionx battery callibration question

    Damn, I thought we had it as well. Just curious - the friend you are borrowing parts from - same battery type (voltage, dock, etc) as yours? As it appears to not be in the console like we thought, might be the propriety BMS/code in the battery? I had the opposite of you today. I was out with 5...

    What mirror do you use?

    Hanfy 2019 model (non-anti-glare) on Jones H-Bar - holds fine adjustments well and a big fan of their mount arm and shape. No rattles or any issues for that matter. Available on Amazon. Soon I will be mounting a 2020 anti-glare model I ordered to a new bike. I will add it's photo to this...

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Did my 3rd (metric) Century for this week. Tuesday was 100kms, Thursday was 116kms and today topped out at 141kms. Plans changed as I went - hit a stretch of 'fresh gravel, drive slow' which felt like snow under my 50mm tires (with my riding weight and gear loaded on the back) but thankfully...

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    50 clicks south of Owen Sound. Born and raised here, returned to my roots 5 years back (travel for work) making this an awesome home base. From here I'm 50kms to Owen Sound, 75kms to Kincardine and it's water's edge, 75kms to Sauble Beach and 75kms to Collingwood if I want to go east (great for...

    How do you store your bike?

    Last year as I added more bikes to my collection I searched and found Steadyrack: https://www.steadyrack.com/ Road, MTB and Fat Tire bike sizes. Can be installed 12-18" apart and the bikes swing left/right easily to pack them in so tight. I had 6 bikes in a 9' storage locker with space in the...

    Charging cycles - battery life

    Interesting link, thanks for sharing. The key instruction I have learned is not to charge past 90% 'unless needed' (i.e. a long ride planned and you want ever Wh available, lol). By charging batteries to 90% and not draining them past 10% remaining capacity is stated often to double the amount...
