    CurrieTech - How to adjust Dash rear brake??

    I would rip mine off and buy it straight from your shop if you had it...preferably the same system as our Peak's (or close).

    CurrieTech - How to adjust Dash rear brake??

    Thank you, lilrich...these posts are what make owning these bikes seem like nothing out of the normal.

    Are protected/buffered bike lanes a good idea or Not?

    I would offer that if mass transit (historically) was ever indeed paid for on anything but borrowed funds, sustainably maintained/replaced or operated privately to control costs...you probably wouldn't need a bike to make your commute today. Since the truth that I have just put forth is proven...

    Are protected/buffered bike lanes a good idea or Not?

    I'm a little old fashioned...in that I'm more worried that roadways already in service be sustainably maintained since we have absolutely no money to 'build them out' further for bicycle specific travel. If a road needs to be replaced and it can be widened through reasonable cost/added future...

    Wall Street Journal weighs in on ebikes blurring the lines with cars

    (re: Fuji's new Denny)"...The company may have to modify the design to ensure it meets industry requirements for world-wide sale..." Somebody was asking recently as to where the next 'Model T' is (ebike comparison) and why it isn't necessarily here already. I would offer that the people who...

    Electric Bike Carrier Racks

    **Update on the Saris SuperClamp (2 bike rack) recommended by ChicagoLand Ebikes (thank you)** I finally socked down the threaded 2" hitch screw and took it for a ride. The rack is still somewhat wobbly but an expected function of the rest of the assembly/parts and not what necessarily counts...

    So where will e-bike tech go?

    Wow...it would be hard to find somebody (let alone somebody working for a distributor at the point of purchase) that could claim the above AND be involved/experienced in the technology for that long. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this board. I agree wholeheartedly with...

    Body Float Suspension Seat Post Thoughts

    Thanks for the input. I suppose that we'll have to see what Len starts offering with his bikes absent any further input from the BF factory rep. here. $130 vs $250? As Brian alluded to earlier...either give us a shootout or a side-by-side darn good sales pitch to spend that (significant) extra...

    What are the Best Electric Bike Resources?

    The solution to sustainable maintenance issues on public lands is very simple. Take the money out of (cough) 'non-profit' hands and any government employee equating the overseeing of such as a career worthy expense for the general public. Force private enterprise to compete for these very...

    What are the Best Electric Bike Resources?

    We're being told that the focus is on. What makes said 'focus' so "exponentially more complex and difficult to deal with"...is that: 1) It is a 'focus' (conversation) that does not include the riding community at large...and 2) It is a 'focus' which does not have the light of day shining upon...

    What are the Best Electric Bike Resources?

    At the risk of going off-topic and in the wish that said topic would be discussed elsewhere despite my constant urging (to no avail) I'd like to clear up a few things regarding your response, starting with Ravi's quote that you referenced below: Here is Ravi's quote: "...Being vocal is...

    What are the Best Electric Bike Resources?

    Thanks, Ben. Maybe this will wake some of us up as to how the conversations should begin NOW...as opposed to later (when even more ebike bans are in place locally and hearts/minds have already been won over). I'm beginning to think that a lot of young people today are...not very interested in...

    To Peak or not to Peak that is the question:

    I went with the 45's as I believe they were closer to the OEM size if not exactly that. I'm not enough of an enthusiast to tell you what happens when one strays from there. I may be wrong but I believe that these tires have a blue 'wear indicator' as well. For some reason (probably from here) I...

    Any details yet about the Dash city kit?

    I have had a great experience with Currie in general yet this city kit should have never been announced...a model change ago. Court was apparently allowed to hear about it "late last year" when he visited them in person. I'm guessing they are sorry that they ever promised it (April) especially...

    New California Law

    "..When passing cyclists, give 3 feet of space or slow to safe speed.." If it's such a great law...what's the 'safe speed' as defined by bicyclists...(vs) as defined by the person with the power to pull you over/fine/arrest you...(vs) as defined by the motorist simply attempting to get to where...

    New California Law

    I don't live in California so I have no idea whether laws are enforced as written there or not. Where I live...there would be no question whatsoever as to whether you would get pulled over or not if the law was written as such (nor would there be any argument on the general public's part after...

    To Peak or not to Peak that is the question:

    I'm a bit biased as we have been blessed to own both and am admittedly stuck in '2014' technology..but the Dash seems more suited (between the two) for an hour plus ride one way due to the tire design alone. We changed the stockers to Schwalbe Marathon Plus from day one and run at least 60 psi...

    New California Law

    ...and what low speed (exactly)...is a 'safe speed'(?). In other words, one either crosses the center line doing exactly the speed limit (a judgment call involving oncoming traffic that can very well get you puled over...for nothing)...or 'take your chances' that one is deemed to be traveling at...

    OK...I like all the new bikes coming out...but are the "Bells & Whistles" worth it?

    When you look at the best non-electric bikes on the market..I'm guessing that the very best ebikes (surprisingly) are pretty comparable in price and perhaps why they are commanding these figures. As for the topic...I think it gets to the point (post #5) where you want to ask everybody (point...
