Here's an example photo I found - Dono Be would have to confirm it matches/closely matches his wife's bike. Have a look at those rims with the 4.0" tires mounted on them. What do you think - 60-65mm or 80mm? I ask simply for fun and in support of helping Dono Be out. :) (and yes, full credit...

Hey there RRB, I'm out in Ontario Canada. Hope you don't mind - I will be speaking in Metric with you here. :) Another thread recently started has the same theme/questions you have. I just posted more details there of my experience...

Awesome post - thank you for the chart - saving this in my notes for future reference. I'm hoping Dono Be has 60-65mm rims to give him some great options for a replacement tire. While your chart does suggest 4.0" should be on a 65mm rim at most, there is websites about the Juggernaut 4.0"...

Key items to focus on for what you are looking for: -50mm to 60mm (1.9" to 2.35") wide tires with a good hybrid tread for road and light dirt/trail riding - the photo above by Dallant is an excellent example. -26" to 29"/700C - preference is based on height of you the rider and the...

Hey there Dono Be, Just looked at video of a Yukon 750 (nice bike by the way) and the rims look like 80mm? I have 3 fat bikes with 65mm, 80mm and 100mm rims and from what I see in the video my guess is ISO 80mm rims. Perhaps have a quick measure of the rim? Stand over the wheel, put the...

Built this bike last year. Building a better bike currently and will share in July when it's complete. Until the new bike is complete, this is my daily driver: Ibera Rear Rack, Top Bag and Panniers added to my Giant Toughroad SLR 2 using a Bionx D500 rear hub motor. On my longest rides I carry...

Tim Horton's drive through sign confirms my location in Canada (lol) - Building has sat empty for at least 10 years, never rented again. Original signage and window displays still in place. Wonder how long it's been since anyone has even gone inside this place and what the owner/landlord will...

You are an inspiration my new friend. I now not only hope to make it to 80 but hope to be still riding my ebikes and might even have a 50-something lady by my side. :) Riding ebikes last year started with me tipping in at 315lbs (6ft tall) from 20 years of desk jockey work and a doctor telling...

Happy to share vincent! The Burley Coho XC is simply amazing single wheel trailer. I have the mounting 'Burley Ballz' (that's their real name, lol - simply the 10mm replacement nuts for the rear axle on my bikes, thru axel option is available as well) on multiple bikes so I can pull the...

Me again OlePhart, Silly me - I took a moment to refresh my memory of the Ride1Up 700 - they come with swept back bars, correct? The grips I suggested would still be a possible upgrade of the stock grips. The Jones Bar again would be a further back sweep than the stock bar and an upgrade for...

Hey OlePhart, (still can't get over the name you chosen and love calling it out, lol) Happy to help with all I have learned and from first hand experience, all here in a thread where others can add thoughts and readers can see what we have shared. Lots to share here, in no particular order...

Fully agree. If/when I decide to add seat post(s) to my mountain bike/fat bikes (all hard tails) I will be choosing between Kinekt and the Thudbuster ST or LT, all great choices and often compared to each other.

Thank you! When work has me back in town for a couple days in a row I will bring my bike and enjoy these paths/trails. Cheers Shaun

Cane Creek has the ST and LT Thudbuster seat posts that have been reviewed many times here on EBR. The LT travels quite a bit and even the ST model has 50mm of travel - great for trail and rough riding I'm sure. For my road riding I wanted something for the long rides and when the pavement gets...

Hello friend, To show you the handle bar setup I replaced the above bike with - I went to a Jones Bar (so comfortable, swept back angles like a motorcycle grip, can ride for hours and hours) that as you can see below I bar wrapped the middle parts - use it to stretch my hands and switch grip...

You make us smile and blush a little with your wit and humour knowing you're 80 my new friend. 😂 I went digging for a photo to share, as it was a few years ago the last time I used these handle bar extensions - worked great for me on the bike I had at the time. I had my bike computer span the...

Thank you for all the replies. I will report back my experience once my order has shipped and been received. Cheers, Shaun

Previously I have used a separate rim/hub (non-e) that I swapped into the rear of an ebike, putting the rim with the hub motor aside for the winter and used it on a traditional resistance trainer. This winter I plan to do the same but with a new trainer with the resistance wheel and cassette...

Hey there OlePhart (Love your handle by the way) - I have used these extensions myself on a couple bikes and they work awesome. Not only more space but you can angle the arm up an inch or two for better viewing. One quick note -Note the lengths are only 10cm or 20cm typically depending on the...

Hello friends, The 'Is this too good to be true' thread gave me a reminder about online suppliers that are in fact scam operations. My search for a particular set of rims lead me to www.thebikeshop.com and no place else, at least on my first decent search. I did my basic homework, not the...
