    Can't remove TREK ALLANT tire!

    Schwalbe tubes come with a valve stem that looks exactly like that. @graydond As Stefan linked to, the foot stomp method works well to break the tire off the wheel. Don't forget to loosen that nut on the valve stem

    Mixed use Ebike under 45 lbs.

    These guys in Ballard have a Como SL 4.0 in your size that would be worth a test ride to see if the geometry and weight/assist ratio works for you. They list it for $2400 right now, but the Spec website has it on sale for $1800. The 5.0 is also available online for $2350 and gets you under...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    A nice evening at the waterfront. Watched seals playing in the surf just off the beach and the heron who hangs out on top of an old piling in between hunting trips over by the ferry dock.

    Does this forum need regional split?

    I think it would help quite a bit if folks could at least put their general location in their profile. I try to not give advice that doesn't apply to someone's region, but a lot of times you can't tell where someone is because they haven't input that in their profile. I do wish the mobile...

    Bosch Date Codes + Diagnostic Reports

    Not sure if you're asking me or Aushiker but this is not the kind of stuff I fantasize about... I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption that this battery was officially 'born' at 19:44 on 4/28/21 in Poland. The first 5 digits of the serial number on both my spare batteries match the date...

    Bosch Date Codes + Diagnostic Reports

    I think you are looking at the part number. In your screenshot, your Bosch part numbers start with 02750 and the serial number field is blank. Once you have your bike the easiest way to find the SN is by clicking on each component in the My eBike section of the eBike Connect app.

    WTF! Why do people cheat on fitness apps?

    You're forgetting that Gionni doesn't give a f**k as he so frequently and vociferously reminds us every time Strava is mentioned.

    Hey I rode by our wooden troll today! There are several more around the Puget Sound area. One of these days I'll track them down

    Customer Service Issues with Rad Power Bikes

    That was a couple decades before I got here. I probably didn't even know Seattle existed until Mount St Helens blew. This is where he passes the other 2 on a hill and pans to the right like you described. It's about midblock between 36th and 34th Ave's NW. You're talking about this moment...

    America Has An E-Bike Problem That Can’t Be Solved With More E-Bikes

    Watch out for right hooks. The most dangerous part of my commute are the 10 blocks where the MUP is a 2 way protected lane between parking and the sidewalk. Subject to both left hooks and right hooks. The city restriped it this summer and removed several parking spaces back from each...

    Customer Service Issues with Rad Power Bikes

    Because I ride in that neighborhood all the time. That's what I meant when I typed "my personal experience riding there." As mentioned multiple times in the video, it is in Seattle. Specifically, the part you mention is on NW 65th St between 36th Ave NW and 34th Ave NW. I'm sure you can...

    Customer Service Issues with Rad Power Bikes

    Look, I don't want to dissuade you from your opinion of RPB or deny your experience with your own Rad but, FYI, the street in the video review is about a 9% grade according to city data and that is consistent with my personal experience riding there. Maybe it tops out at 10 or 11% mid block but...

    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Looks like it was a great ride! Does Sai always ride with her taillight on the seatstay like that? I've been daydreaming lately about the Canyon Grizl:ON which has built in lights down at the bottom of the seatstays.

    "Current-based" cadence-sensing from Ride1up

    Which is pretty much what several people have already described in this thread. I think you're getting caught up in the semantics a bit. Maybe you're taking the term 'current based' literally? Think current limited vs speed limited instead - more descriptive of how they function but would...
