    Mind-blowing Big Bang Cosmos data

    'Why a sudden ‘Big Bang’ – of what? What was the Motivating Factor behind it? Science speaks about electromagnetism but cannot say from whence come such energies which appear and disappear. Where do they go? Why do they come back? From the human perspective, there appears to be no intelligible...

    Mind-blowing Big Bang Cosmos data

    Mind blowing would be an appropriate term. The human race is of two minds, or a split mind. Hence I referenced betting on the wrong horse in a tongue in cheek way.

    Mind-blowing Big Bang Cosmos data

    You ever notice when you are in a dream and many things are going on, then you wake up and it all took a second, or very short time? There are many parallels between what the human race thinks is reality and truth, except they are mutually opposed and exact opposites. Nothing like betting on...

    My ebike journey and the holy grail (for me)

    I've found the faster I go on the trike, the more advantageous vs the diamond frame and you can give the spandex crowd a run for their money. Getting the wheels parallel helps also, and tight spokes and straight rims. The transportation is the bugger, I have a 8' wide bike path that goes...

    Survey says, buy the 14.5' X 42.5' mobile home.

    2-3 gph is not bad. Must be in the boost above that. Really starts to suck the fuel.

    My ebike journey and the holy grail (for me)

    I took my Catrike out the other day after a long while and remembered how fun it is. I'll have to ride it more. When I was looking at trikes, I test rode an ICE suspension trike and couldn't believe how smooth it was though I ended up with the non suspended Catrike expedition and see no need...

    Survey says, buy the 14.5' X 42.5' mobile home.

    What's the fuel burn per hour on something like that?

    Where does the speed restriction occur in the Vado 5.0?

    Go to the lbs in US and they might be able to hook your tcu up to their computer and flip a switch, that is all I understand stands between class 1 and 3.

    2022 Vado 4 Review (after 1000 miles of ownership)

    It's a competitive market. With the internet most everybody is informed. If you can't provide something or an experience at a decent price it won't sell. I saw diesel at the highest price I've ever seen it. I don't feel bad hauling groceries or running errands on the ebike anymore. If...

    easy-rolling ebikes when unpowered (what brands)

    I believe any of the Specialized with the Brose motor. I pedal quite a bit unassisted on a Vado and Como.

    Look like drain holes.

    Cough cough, that’s a chunk of change. I’d like to have something nice like that.

    Need an entry port and exit port, push the grease in one end, out the other.

    Gates Belt Broke

    Interesting. I've had accessory drive belts for alternators, water pumps, and oil pumps that had wire woven length wise into the fabric, kind of like what you see here but looks like carbon fibers. These were so strong they can damage the part if too tight. Wonder which is stronger.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    The park tool had the female threads on the jaw cross threaded, like not centered then another set of threads over the top of them, made the mating of the two pieces kind of trial and error. I notified them and like the great company they are they are sending a replacement.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Here's what I did. Ordered the park tools bench mount bike repair stand, then decided that only solved part of the problem. The chair lift came out of a handicap van and had it on craigslist for $100 just to get rid of it and no bites so thought hey, part of the problem solved right there. It...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    I've gone to the wax side. I was using the straight dry lube with MoS2 and don't think it was doing the job. I cleaned the chains in solution then put a magnet to it. All the stuff that came off was magnetic. It doesn't attract dirt at all but it must be burnishing the metal or something...

    Roger on the heavy. If they could get it down to about 30# they'd have a winner!

    2021 Vado 4 Axle torque question.

    Yesterday I was doing some chain work and removed the rear wheels. When I reinstalled them I used the 130 in lbs, which is almost 15Nm, or about 10 ft lbs. That is not very much for an axle bolt. Maybe if you have trouble removing the wheels on the trail take a cheater bar:)
