Texas Rockpile Johnny Winter And Heart

Thanks for the tech ... question, sir ... upgrading the 2018-2019 R750 rear shock ... you were able to fit a 190mm DNM where a 165mm A5 was simply by lifting the fronts of the brackets to increase the spread? Does the bike sit slightly higher? Does your shock pump require you to dis-assemble the...

I was able to combine my love of moonlight with range curiosity ... took the 750 kush out for long distance range test 2 night ago ... mostly level concrete bike path (10 % asphalt ), modest hill and dale along one of the West's great rivers, 20 psi in stock Kenda's, 100 % battery power only -...

The M2S comes in a full suspension model for the same price. It's a very good deal. Rack will be fender.

Thanks Al -- You made a Great choice, in my opinion ... the step thru has the same "750" motor, but the slightly shorter tires will give you much needed low end torque. I just got a new FS 750 Kush, & w/ the fat 26"s, it has good mid & top, but lacks off the line or trying to crawl. Also, you...

I just ordered an AT FS R 750 hubby, have same question ... also, could the rack for the hardtail be modified ( front wires bent) to work on a FS?

The leaves are turning at high altitude ...Ring the Peak trail

I think such a van would be at considerable risk in many areas, especially trail heads.

I became aware that technology had made ebikes practical around 2005, so I looked at some data & reviews, but was not in a bike -friendly situation at the time. During a trip to Redondo Beach, on a whim, I went into the Pedego dealership just to look at the motors, but the owners were so...

Thanks Steve --- I was using a zip tie over electrical tape, with the ties "knot" as the thumb rest. For 3 bills this works.

I haven't heard of anyone else doing it this way, so I'll share what I've worked out... I have a thick rubber bed mat ... ( I really like these), and the quick - adjustable handlebars are great for this application. I found the light aluminum ramp online for about $50. Of course, the battery...

Vision realized, part 1 -- ebiking far into the Rocky Mtn. wilds in pursuit of fish; usually catch & release. 8 th 20"+ trout this summer. This bike draws awe, curiosity & perhaps ridicule, but rarely ire. Currently angling for Bigfoots & cougars with a warm piece of meat attached to some shiny...

My real world experience is 30 miles range at a moderate speed w/200lb rider no pedaling, moderate terrain is achieved with a 750w DD hub motor & 48v 12ah battery. Keep the tyres aired up & ride for mileage. Throttle only, the best of all possible options. Some of the companies George mentioned...

Before my ebike allowed allowed me to overcome my physical limitations, I had a negative view towards any support or funding for bicycle infrastructure in my community. Now that the ebike lets me get out on the city bike paths/lanes & enjoy that percentage of my tax $$, I'm a vocal advocate for...

I like where you're going --- DIY engineering for cost effective improvement. I don't know you're aesthetic requirements, but louvers are a cool, retro, & functional ---- but you'd need fab shop to stamp them into your sheetmetal. Consider lightning holes, maybe in a pattern? Also, a finned...

My limited ebike experience is ... K.I.S.,S. --- I believe that bicycles are a delicate instrument in a harsh environment. Take a realistic look at the technology on your bike. Will it last through many freeze cycles? Salt spray? Intense vibration & shock? In the ebike marketing arms race...

Here are a few pics of the guts under the bonnet. I took the rear wheel to the LBS & had it trued up for $15, well spent.

Thanks Ann --- only a few random spokes were loose, so no, I didn't go to the opposite side -- actually, I followed http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesday--Five-Minute-Wheel-True.html --- particularly step 3 for my current situation. I think I should have asked " if my rear hub motor...

I put a 29" rino rim & matching retro ride rubber up front, & added red & white pinstripes. I'm considering painting the spokes red if I can't find the right colour/length of soda straws like I had as a kid in the 70s. Here's my problem - this is the 750w X 48v, so it's real ass heavy -- my...
