Here in Toronto (and lots of other areas in Canada), most mixed use paths have a speed limit of 20kph. (not that they're enforced much). The worst violators are not e-bikes, but roadies, e-scooters, and monowheels, though I'd take all of them over the clueless joggers & instagramming...

Just an observation, but: Teenagers being scofflaws AND thinking they're invulnerable? Inconceivable!

I thought I edited my earlier post to correct myself, but guess I forgot to hit update. Stupid work... :) The dropout isn't straight up and down though, as the rear of the bike is suspended in that screenshot... it's sloped, but not nearly as much as @m-robertson's example (maybe +/- 20...

Thanks for the reminder! Seriously, I forgot I picked up a small bottle of Loctite 243 a couple of months ago. It got stuffed in the back of the repair shelf after a stupid user error - got brake fluid on my front rotor after a bleed - what a horrendous sound!

:D That happens on my SO's bike sometimes. Her headlight will get loose and become a photon cannon. I really should find something to lock it down better, but the mount should probably be replaced.

Hmmm... if you're regularly blinding people on your ride, it's probably not the best choice for a headlight. :) I've been blinded by fellow cyclists who don't understand the impact their headlights can have, including a close call on a pretty busy urban mixed path (Toronto waterfront) due to a...

I think the pic I posted from the EBR review shows more clearly, even with the QR, that it's a closed, offset dropout. I mean, you can clearly see the green fork underneath the QR. If it were a vertical dropout, the slot would be an inverted U shape, not circular, and we see the bare steel of...

100% it's a skewer with obvious offset from the photo... Looked up the EBR review (where the pic is from) - "135mm Hub Spacing, 9mm Axle with Release Skewer" (and the same as the RR 2).

I'm not sure this is really an issue with the Rad Runner. All their models appear to be similar to the original...

It's a tragic situation, but the details in the article point toward a death by misadventure. Two 11 year olds double ride on a bike that isn't theirs, and don't know what they're doing when riding down a hill. Nothing in there provides solid evidence that the bike or the helmet malfunctioned.

OLight makes a universal mount with a pivot so the light can be either parallel or perpendicular to the tubing. It's only about 10 bucks. https://www.olightstore.ca/olight-fb-1-bike-mount.html It's not the one I have (mine is some no-name brand), but basically the same idea. As for the...

Already heard back from the developer, and it's possible to include the data, and he has the code to do so from another dev. Just hasn't had the time to implement it yet.

No experience with the Wind, but we'll often use a friend's JBL Clip when camping. It shares the same 5W output (probably the same audio guts in a different package), and JBL has always sounded pretty balanced to me. 5W should be MORE than enough for a handlebar mounted speaker pointing at you...

The watch is the Venu 2, and the app (or data fields) is Steps EMTB. https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/461743f9-b350-486f-bd87-613c7b0bab90 This is more of an alternative to a handlebar mounted display, and allows you to choose what data fields you want displayed. (I was wrong in saying it...

I'd consider a rechargeable tactical light like one from Fenix or Olight, and a handlebar or helmet mount, depending on your preference. I picked up a Fenix PD36R on sale for just under $100 CDN (currently $100 US), and have used it on my bike using some cheap universal silicone handlebar clamp...

After getting a Garmin watch (not just for cycling), I took the quad lock off my handlebars. The Garmin watch collects my biometrics, as well as better GPS data than my phone did, as well as e-bike data via ANT+ (using Steps EMTB data fields widget which can be configured to show different...

I love the Arundel cage! I've used it for various larger diameter containers, from spare water to a 1.14L bottle of vodka. Even a Stanley two cup cookset to make some cowboy coffee on the road after a long ride.

It really seems eMTB is where all the tech advances are appearing first. Would like to see this kind of lightweight/power ratio appear in something other than full suspension, though. Would love to see this head-to-head (range vs power) against the Orbea Rise M10 which shares a lot of...

I'll have to check the local shops to see if they're in stock... not willing to completely give up Same. Nuff said! Can't get anything done when the beast is in a mood. :)

I borrowed a spare pair of my friend's Shokz to try with my Cat-Ears. The added bulk of the Cat Ears put rearward pressure on the Shokz, which made it just a little uncomfortable, but the more annoying thing was on more bumpy gravelly rides, that pressure on the front created a pivot point...
