Backwards gooseneck always looks funny to me... but it's not like what way it faces really matters. If I have one complaint about my e-bike is that it feels too short. There's just not enough distance between the seat tube and head tub. You certainly don't have that problem! :D Since you've...

The vast majority of products are either built in the same factory, or built with components from the same suppliers. Very few if any products are true one-off's particularly if manufacturing is done in China. It's a bit like TV's. There are really only three companies that develop panel...

I didn't even know riding on sidewalks was legal anywhere until I joined these forums. That's not a "thing" to my knowledge in NH or Taxacusetts. Just like the "alternate routes" bull as if there's magically more than one road going to every destination anywhere outside planned urban areas. Or...

Then why the blazes did you start out in your very first post in this thread making those assumptions, and why are you getting so upset that I'm challenging them? Your lack of self-awareness is appalling. Anyone needs a flipping che-checkity check yoself in this thread it's you! From your first...

Was a decade and 100 pounds or so ago on my 26" non-electric cruiser. First set were from the LBS I no longer trust for... much of anything, forget the brand. Schwab or something? I remember joking "is this a law firm or something I stick in my ear?" I thought it was just that brand, so I got...

And as I've said many the time, it must be nice to live in that sort of fantasyland where you have infrastructure, high street densities, places where those backroad streets aren't MORE dangerous than the mains... But no, you have to open right up with your first bloody post assuming everyone...

I don't know if it's my riding style, where I am and the type of ice we get, or what... but I have NEVER found that "studs digs in" thing to be factual on any icy conditions I'd ride across. Flat out does not exist. Not a thing... They don't dig in and slide across like nails on a chalkboard...

In other words people who live places like I do should never ride bikes in the first place unless they can load it up on the back of a car/pickup to take it where you're going to ride? Oh yeah, that's a great huffing answer.

Or fatties. Fat tires at 5psi just roll over snow and the increased surface area works wonders for ice. Studs are great in snow, but am I the only ones who finds they are a death trap in just icy conditions like after freezing rain? They don't dig in and just reduce your contact patch. As to...

I would actually say no. In fact it's that "death grip" on the bars that causes most shoulder and arm injuries on bikes as it increases the chance of a "elbow lock". It can even prevent you from twisting during the fall to an angle where the upper arm takes more of the hit than the shoulder...

It's that or not ride from mid October through to mid to late April. Having cycling off the table six or seven months of the year is a bit excessive for "But baby it's cold outside" You get used to it eventually. Our friends in Europe ride in snow and ice all the time... 1) they're used to it...

So outing yourself as a racist on top of your effete elitist "f*** the cripples and elderly" attitude? Confirms some suspicions.

I feel like I'm in noodle doodle crazy-land. I'm sick of people who have local shops they can/would buy from and trust acting like everyone has a choice of dozens of them in every town, when for many of us it's a two hour round trip at minimum. I'm sick of people who act like bicycle...

My point was that your 40:12 is roughly equal to my 53:15, the third highest on mine. My 6th gear equals your eighth give-or take... Basically if I want the cadence you're riding at the same speed, I downshift. Making more of the cogs on the rear useful, whilst giving me a higher top speed...

When I lived up near Fairbanks, AK that happened more than you'd expect. It's also scary how often a small car would get totally wrecked in such a collision, when the moose was just fine. Don't see that as much here in NH, though I remember a "funny" headline from the Worcester Phoenix back in...

Do not let ambition shave your prince's lock! I sent Moses to destroy a city, he returns in triumph. I sent you to build a city. Where is it?

Which strikes me as odd since I got it so that I could go fast enough on roads to get to paths, or so I can go shopping with it without feeling like I was getting run off the road. I've found people in cars seem to see me more on the e-bike and not get as pissed off with my presence. But that...

I end up using all the settings since there are no long uniform runs of terrain anywhere I can even ride. From roads where going less than 30 will get you harassed, run off the road, and possibly killed JUST to even try to get to a bike path (crossing main street and/or rt 101 for example), to...

Which is why it seems weird -- but entirely expected -- the crazy nonsensical fairy-tale nonsense mid-drive fanboys seem to outright fabricate in their attempts to throw shade on hubs. Which ends up surprisingly weaksauce at 1:3.75... It's all about ratios and a 60 means nothing with a fat-ass...
