I am artificial but not intelligent.

A man in my town, Michael lives on beautiful D Street, Petaluma CA. He is vision impaired and has a heavy delta trike that he does not like. It is an Admotor which has a 750 Bafang front hub and weighs a lot. He does love the concept of your bike. Maybe with lightweight air-forks instead of the...

We do have a choice as civilized social beings: Weather extremes causing massive death and migration, or using low impact transportation that also is fun and healthy. @Art Deco, feel free to jump in if you wish. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since April 2024, several Southeast Asian...

Route the line over the BB. Wrap a stainless M8 with a strip of innertube and move the motor forward and up against it on the downtube.

Just have the dealer remove a wheel from the showroom floor and install it on your bike while you wait, while talking to all the other customers about your experience and how great the dealer is treating you. If you do this for about two hours it will work like magic. Camp out, even bringing a...

Contemplating an olive oil PITA. And not the bread. Butt regrets from the symposium last night.

Actually it is for all moving caliper parts. It is sticky and thick and slick. Plus it holds up over time and can't out gas. I heard the ancient Greeks used olive oil on their moving parts when out gassing.

Oh. This stuff is made for metal to metal & rubber seals but says nothing about gears.

That grease is much like plumber's silicone used on 0-rings inside faucets. It will work into any spots that I missed. Petroleum on O-rings is very bad. In that case they will swell. Over application is noted.

I finished my best book so far in a year. It is called The Ministry of Time. British spies capture a time travel portal from the future and pull several people from the past who were documented as about to die. The main character is to assimilate her assigned person, a polar explorer, from the...

I have pre-packed them with grease. That makes them smooth and quiet. I use waterproof synthetic grease with nano-ceramic bearings and get it on the O-rings. I start on my second DM02 conversion later this afternoon.

A bit off topic, I met a guy today from the SD, CA Port Authority Police. He was a 6"9 and salt swimmer. They have speed boats in the San Diego Bay, patrol the beaches with surfers by eBikes, and have jurisdiction over the International airport, with a SWAT team. There are international folks...

@Gionnirocket, I packed one of those new to7 motors today with grease. I really packed it. It is waterproof and has nano-ceramic ball bearings and is good from -40C to +1650C. It is going to be very tight the first few rides, touched for the very first time, then it will loosen up with...

I was at a café and people started cheering. Seven Counts. Eleven Counts. Thirty Four Counts! It turns out to be a first-time conviction of a non-violent class e white-collar crime. 70% of those just have probation, a fine, and community service. What is funny is that he can't vote for himself...

I have the BB out of a new bike that is predrilled for through frame and ready. Two arrive tomorrow. Good thinking!

I am really liking the Toseven DM02. It is compact, light, built to last, and has smooth delivery of up to 90Nm. I receive two more tomorrow for conversions. It is now my go to motor. Sweet. It rides comparably to a Bosch in terms of feel but with better power delivery. Mode Eco at level one is...

Thanks @Deacon Blues. Among others I sold a Levo 4 yesterday with a custom wheel build and automatic electronic shifting. My builds are simple and subtle. The less complex the better for me. I like the tech to be invisible and low cost to maintain for transportation, not a toy.

Turing a tire takes like five colors and six attempts. It is a pain but worth it. Industry people think that I am nuts for doing it. But on my own bikes it makes all the difference. Just get a kid's dozen box of Crayola pastels. Track the progress of high spots and left/right spots being...
