I've straightened a couple derailleur hangers using a large adjustable wrench to disperse the force and gently straightened. Like any aluminum part it would be susceptible to breaking if manipulated too much/too many times. I'd buy a new hanger before wasting my time with a bike shop. I'm...

I've carried a small gel pepper spray. For rides in remote areas where bear and cougar can be present I have carried larger bear spray canisters, some are smaller than others and easily carried in an accessible location. Never had to use either the pepper gel or bear spray. Dogs are the most...

If you like your current Roll bike I second Pedaluma's TSDZ2 suggestion. From experience with my two TSDZ2 motors that I've put on several bikes I can say that it compares well with my Yamaha PW-SE powered gravel bike. Relatively inexpensive with natural feeling torque sensor assist...

Unfortunately my wife had major orthopedic surgery a month ago and isn't confident enough to let me take a couple days away for the Crater Lake ride. That's OK, I've done it several times and the crazy diesel prices make it a fairly expensive trip. I might still put a TSZ2 on this bike at some...

I've ridden with up two two dogs on regular leashes with a resultant disaster or two and have a couple walky dog devices that I've used numerous times over the years with dogs as large as 70+# who could run with me for miles on gravel paths at 20-25mph. The Walky Dog isn't perfect but it does...

Strange that two bikes exhibit the same fault unless it is normal battery voltage slump related. It does sort of sound like the battery voltage is dropping below the low voltage cut out when you are on longer rides using more power and the bike works again after the battery is rested a bit when...

Were you riding your friend's bike with your battery or theirs when the fault occurred? When your friend rides their bike do they have the same issue? How about if your friend rides your bike with your battery, same issue?

Thanks for the help!

Bottom right corner connector in the image. Can anyone tell me the center to center distance between the posts? Length, width and height of the posts? Thanks for any info.

I'm hoping to ride around Crater Lake again in 1-2 weeks during the "ride the rim" east road closures. Last year I rode around it 3x on closure and non-closure days with a TSDZ2 equipped Walmart Schwinn Avenue hybrid. This year I'm planning on bringing my BH (Yamaha) gravel bike and this...

I agree in that in case of a battery fire I'd rather have insurer or other go after Yamaha than me with a generic battery. In my limited experience I've seen a insurer go after a manufacturer when there was a product failure resulting in damages (washing machine failure not ebike related). A...

FWIW and not to be contentious but Marin does make a Stinson ebike, ~$1600, rear hub motor, 309wh battery on rear rack. A plus compared to most hub motor bikes is that it is torque sensing. Pedaluma's TSDZ2 conversion on a Stinson 2 ($699) has better derailleur with wider (9s 11-46t vs 7s...

When I've gone alone I camp, several camping options. When my wife has come, diamond lake resort or other cabin in the area.

Regarding the east rim road closure: "access will be temporarily reopened for special events like Ride the Rim on September 9th and 16th" I've ridden entirely around Crater Lake when normal traffic is allowed. It's a much nicer ride on the Ride the Rim event dates.

A ride to not miss, Sept 9 and 16th this year. I've done it 4 times, only once with an ebike last year. When I first did this ride several years ago I saw no ebikes, few years ago (pre-COVID before the ride was cancelled for a couple yrs) only saw one couple on ebikes, last year a majority of...

I'd be confident that the glitch in your new tsdz2b is fixable. When the problem is resolved consider posting your overall impression of B vs your other one. I have two of the non-B versions, a 36v 500W and 48v 750W, both work great IMO. Smooth, natural torque sensing and provide very good...

It doesn't seem like there would be much difference. Both the older version and the newer B version each have two clutches. As far as I can tell the B version has both clutch bearings contained in the main gear. The older version has one sprag clutch in the main gear that allows the motor to...

Was the only reason you switched to a "B" version was to gain a throttle? You could have just switched out the controller from a 6 to a 8 pin version to gain the option for a throttle. It sounds like you might have a defective controller or torque sensor. FWIW I don't see any real advantage of...

Nice solution, I hope the inexpensive carbon fork proves durable and safe for you. I once bought an inexpensive full carbon fork on Amazon (Toseek) but returned it because the disc brake caliper mounting points didn't allow for proper alignment, I'm not the only one who had that problem per...

Wouldn't work because the square taper would be reversed, crank bolt recess would be on wrong side and it would still be a LH thread for the pedal (reversing the crank wouldn't change thread direction).
