    A few hours in the sunshine after you finish washing will do wonders as well. Glad it all worked out.

    best pump

    I have Lezyne with the gauge and it is hard to read. I used a Sharpie to mark it right where I want the pressure. The pump is outstanding and IMHO is worth the extra weight.

    Need your views on E bike

    Yes an e bike will help with your commute. There are lots of nice bikes out there. If your emergency electrician friend had a bad experience with an electric bike maybe he should give it another try. When I started looking at electric bikes I rented one and rode it for about 20 miles. Rent...

    Looking at ebikes - need more info

    For the OP: Your goal is certainly reasonable. I am posting a link to a bike that is about $2600 list price, but I know you can get them cheaper. You might even be able to find a 2018 for under 2K. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes-explore-eplus I have ridden this bike. They are very...

    The speed of freedom is 32 KPH.

    My son decided not to wear his helmet as an act of rebellion. He crashed and scraped his face pretty bad and tore a hole in his scalp. He is OK now and all healed up. He wears his helmet now. I am grateful that his lesson was learned at a lot lesser expense. At 17 it would be tough for him...

    Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 Delivered as Class 1, not Class 3

    I find 20 MPH is perfectly fine. The only time I go faster is on the downside of a big hill. Enjoy =D

    Quick-E+

    The 2019 Quick-E is a sharp ride. I have the 2018 with almost 1000 miles on it. I have no complaints about the bike. I was a dedicated Trek fan but I got the same impression as you. I just could not justify an additional $2K for brand loyalty. The tires on my Quick - E are just a little...

    Hi ! I live in so.fla. Bin ridding for decades.regular bikes that is. Went to a electric bike shop in Port St. Lucie. One test ride ,it was all over.

    I like this handle bar. Jones SG 2.5 Aluminum Loop H-Bar Lots of real estate for gadgets and a horn. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Keep the earphones out of your ears and use this helmet that transmits sound through your check bones. The best thing I have...

    "E-bikes to face speed limits on popular Seattle trails"

    We already do. Vote and leave it to law enforcement. Anything else is vigilant which is criminal.

    Ergon grips

    I love mine. Make sure you check the application one set is for straight bars and the other is for angled bars. I am sure it is not that big of a deal if you get them switched but you might as well get the most for your money.

    Long Commute - 70 miles round trip for eNoob

    R & M Supercharger and put skinny tires on it. This bike has 1000 wh of storage. If this one won't do it you may want to consider a custom job: maybe full carbon and a faring of some sort. Weight and wind resistance will be the primary concern IMHO. There is a formula to get you there and...

    New bike...shipped

    Funny, I lived about 30 miles from Purdue. I have some family still there. My Nephew is a campus cop. He says there is always someone getting tricked into trying. Kinda like hunting "snipe."

    New bike...shipped

    I won't speak for Gunner, but I have some experience. When you work with livestock it is important that you get a kind of relationship with the animals. When they associate you with being fed or at least being in the same proximity in a non-threatening way, then the animals become easier to...

    New bike...shipped

    That is a nice ride my friend. They are a lot quieter than ATVs and dirt bikes so your woodland friends won't be spooked near as much in and out of hunting season. Enjoy

    Juiced Bikes 40 mph!!

    Ouch! And for those who would dismiss this,... imagine if it were a toddler on a tricycle or 3 year old twins in a wagon. I have seen both on my bike trail. 20 mph speed limit and pedal-assist only on bike trails/paths.

    Yes and those cars as well. That has to be the widest bike trail/bike path/bike lane I have ever seen.
