    I don't usually have cars not see us on the tandem. I think this is the first time I was able to lock up the rear wheel on the tandem well except on gravel and such.

    Shimano Linkglide for e bikes.

    man, serious climbing ability. Now we can spin up 18 to 20% grades keeping the rpms above 80 or so the more is the most efficient. On hills, we can spin up them or go faster plus with the little larger chainring we got the bike up to 28 mph on a flat peddling at 100 rpms.

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    the rockbro's make my feet feel like a bird on a perch 😅The peddling innovations work great but in the rain the grease on the main bushing washes out after a couple of months even if I use marine grease.

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    with the peddling innovations I don't have to worry much but for really stiff cycling shoes they don't grip well for me or my wife. but the pedals are large enough I don't need the stiffness my feet don't curl around the pedals like they do on most pedals.

    How to make brakes less powerful

    no that's not the case. the longer the levers the more fingers they are designed for. at least with me I can't get full braking with one finger on a 3 finger lever. a single-finger lever is short and takes a lot less effort to pull. this is a single-finger brake lever and I can stop our...

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    I used to have some Shimano sandals that were easy to walk in but when I bought them again when I got e-bikes (for the stiffness) they kinda sucked.

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    I found as soon as I started riding e-bikes I did the unclip move after years of not riding at all.

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    I only fell over once it was like 20 degrees out I went to put my foot down and the wind blew me over on the opposite side. On the tandem no way I have to stop too often or as happens a lot I am stopping at a stop sign and the cars that don't have a stop sign want me to go and I am fumbling...

    How to Switch to Clipless Pedals

    I got myself several times with my monster pedals but even I learned not to do it. But my pedals are large enough that my feet don't flex on them. but I found non-grippy soles tend to not catch well on the pins. so cycling shoes are out. I liked how my feet were always in the right place when...

    Shimano Linkglide for e bikes.

    just got the new Shimano Linkglide installed on our tandem. We were wearing Kept wearing out the 13t cog at about 2000 miles as that was our cruising cog. Since we changed the motor from the 20mph to the speed motor I can see even more wear on it and the 11t. Older it let us change the 36t...

    Brake bleeding without bleeding ports

    the lever that large headed screw looks like the port. I dont see one on the caliper but there has to be one or they could not be assembled.

    Brake squeal

    but the brake cleaner will strip everything off then you have to re bed the pads. so then you have to go through the bedding process all over again.

    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    I just dont see how this would work. you going to stand around and watch your batter for 5 or more hours to charge it? most of them could not be locked up or secured. then some type of cage would have to be added. this is America it would have to be very profitable to to make it happen.
