    Too Many Posters Asking Others To Do Web Searches For Them

    The same is happening all the time in many other forums but the worst is in Facebook groups. I have been chastised many times by moderators when i respond with https://letmegooglethat.com/ links filled out. I'm getting better at controlling my inner snark, but sometimes I just can't.

    Best Wireless Earbuds for Ebikes

    Unbeknownst to my wife, who has been complaining about her earbuds, i bought her some Shokz Openruns and test rode them today. Loved 'em and she may never see them... Just kidding, as my Opencomm ones showed up while I was out riding. Tested them on a few calls and both sets are staying, even...

    Bionx - Can I swap batteries of different Ah and Watts?

    If you are anywhere near Calgary, I know of a very good ebike mechanic, who is very familiar with BionX and can help you. You can message me if that's a viable option for you - I can send you his contact details. I just sold my old Townie with a BionX 36V system last Sunday. Served me well...

    Best Wireless Earbuds for Ebikes

    Shokz now have a "mini" version of the Openrun Pro, where the band is not as long. I wonder if that would lessen the bounce, as I too, am not willing to compromise my Speedframe Pro either. Best fitting helmet I've ever had. I ordered the Opencomm version (on sale) as my headset I use for...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    A little cloudy and cool, but got out on the trails today for a change. I've been getting some therapy on my neck and have supposed to be taking it easy so have been sticking to MUPs for the last month. Today I have been given the green light to rejoin my golf team in our competitive league...

    Happy Canada Day

    Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadian e-Bikers. 🇨🇦 Will likely go for a small ride this afternoon, before a simple BBQ dinner. (making this a post that includes bikes) June is over, so perhaps our typical June weather silliness is over (here in Calgary at least). Cheers!

    Best ebike repair stand

    Got one of these the other day. Works well on all my bikes - other than it won't lift the bike up for you... Well priced at $199.98 CDN + tax (Amazon.ca)

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Update on bars - I think they are doing what I wanted with one minor niggle. When I am riding streets or when riding with certain others, I sometimes want to use a mirror to see what's behind me (neck issues make it difficult for me to simply swivel my head). I am a big fan of the Mirrycle...

    Throttle problem - doesn't activate from a stop

    On my wife's controller (KT-LCD7): So I googled KT-LCD5 and got to THIS pdf. It looks like it has the same options - but of course, I am guessing on your setup a little bit. Good luck

    The Joys of MS...

    Finished the carrier with some spare lumber and paint (and some reflectors), and the trike is loaded to go for a test ride. I reconsidered my original layout as I had the front on the exhaust side of the car. As the wheels hang over the side of the carrier, I decided to reverse the layout...

    What a great start to the day. Cafe Latte, oatmeal with blueberries, and @David Berry posting on EBR again. :D

    Tools you always have on your bike?

    My water bottle holder has a built in multi-tool holder, so I always have that. LINK That's what I use for local rides (i.e. walkable to get home). If I am further away, but still in the city, it's a tube, pump, levers etc... for tire repair. In a back pack. Non-urban trail riding, it ratchets...

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    No throttle and no way home today... :(

    @Jpar ^^ What he said. There will be people you will learn to just ignore, and there will be people who you put on your Ignore list when they go too far. Civility on this forum has deteriorated quite a bit lately, but sometimes you just have to have a laugh about it. I find the more...

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    I still golf, but at a much lower standard of even a few years ago. Cooking and Wine pairings are still something to enjoy. I also enjoy watching British TV - most North American stuff doesn't interest me.

    eMTB Options For 2024

    My dropper was a bit sticky lately, and rather than doing a teardown and service, I tried some WPL Forkboost lube on it. Worked a charm - VERY responsive again. I'll do a service soon...

    It's been a while since I posted a ride, but yesterday's short but fun ride needs some sharing. The weather forecast was foreboding as Environment Canada had posted a "weather watch" so I had to keep an eye on the weather coming in from the Rockies. When the lightning started west of me, I cut...
