    Body Float Suspension Seat Post Thoughts

    Gee mine has never slipped and I'm on a quick release. The machining of the collar creates horizontal grooves that seem to help slippage if anything. I had to use a $30 locking collar on another bike (bike jewelry, could of got a cheap one).. so maybe you can tighten it down or email them for...

    Highest Mileage Stromer

    I've always thought that running low tire pressures to compensate for a stiff ride was an engineering workaround or afterthought. I'm running 60 psi on FS and love it. Maybe there will be a Full Suspension ST3. BodyFloat is basically mandatory. -S

    Does Schlumpf chainring provide 2.5x benefit for rear hub motor, like numbers imply?

    I imagine (actually read that) folks turn to the schlumpf drive when using larger motors (wide magnets & body) that limit the number of gears that can be installed for the axle width, or more accurately the bottom stays. The caveat being 2.5 is a pretty sizable jump up or down. Like having a 45...

    Does Schlumpf chainring provide 2.5x benefit for rear hub motor, like numbers imply?

    Multiply or divide, think of it as a 2 speed front derailleur, just with internal planetary gears. The Stealth Fighter uses them as OEM. I've often wondered how the two ratios would work in daily use. Something to consider in a powerful DIY build for sure, would be nice to demo an existing build...

    Haibike XDURO RX 29 Review

    I measured and increased my wheel size to that value. Turns out I was going a tad faster that previously reported. BTW - since I'm running a circuit the cutoff is irrelevant. PM me if you have tuning specific questions. -S

    Stromer ST1 vs. ST2

    While I doubt that will happen I agree with the idea of opting out of the techno cellular stuff that I've been living just fine without. Still sporting a flip phone with texting disabled, no leash to work and no devolutionary conversation vollies. -S

    Haibike XDURO RX 29 Review

    I've only seen the arrows in the glint of the LCD display, never illuminated, so probably not supported with my unknown firmware version. I do not have access to those other diagnostic values either. Set my wheel size today 2225 cm, will be interesting to see what my typical speed and distances...

    BTW - Wheel diameter must be set with the controller on the bike. -S

    Body Float Suspension Seat Post Thoughts

    Unless things have changed BodyFloat only comes in one size diameter seatpost AFAIK, you will need a spacer with an outside diameter of 31.6 and the inside diameter of 27.2, I think (from memory). The spacers are pretty common at bike shops or you can order one online, including from the BF...

    Recycled AA batteries,..

    So this TV advertisement has been buggin me lately, a major mfg calling their batteries recycled but it says right on the pckg '4% recycled'. 4%! WT% - are they just using the metal wrap? If they were 40% recycled well ok but this 4% does not represent a recycled product IMO. Please feel free...

    Bad Road Stops My Commute Plans

    Adding 2 to 4.5 miles to your commute for safety reasons could be worth the fresh air and exercise IMO. Though you made need to build up to it, taking the long way home has it's rewards. Good luck and get a rear view mirror and daylight flashers. -S

    Turbo S or ST2???? (New to E-Bikes)

    I you can afford 2xST2s just have your chauffeur follow you in the limo with spare batteries. ;) Funny that this is in the Specialized section. -S

    Brake sensors

    Funny because the ones I've looked at are NC (normally closed) reed switches that require a magnet in the lever. BTW the long leads could mean the connections are deep in the frame, like the bottom bracket or motor. I'll be interested to see what you discover. -S

    ST2 Commuter

    Sounds like you are blowing past a lot of traffic! Will be interesting when long distance stats start to come in. I'll probably demo an ST2 (local shop just got a few), but I'm quite happy with my full suspension Haibike so I'll have to bring cookies and beer in compensation. -S
