So I got to go to CES last week & bikes, specifically e-bikes, were taking over. Not actually really. AI took over & I hate it, but there were lots of bikes. I'd put most of these on the lower end of the food chain, but there was some nice stuff mixed in too. I'll probably spread these over...

Harder than that bike should ever be ridden. He got lucky lol. Seth also went through that bike with a lot of experience before getting on it. He ain't no enginerd, but he rides & builds a LOT of bikes. He does this for a living. 99% of people who get these will do the final assembly on a...

Started carrying this around a few weeks ago & am kicking myself for not doing it earlier. Sometimes you need to move a few electrons around while you're out & this is way easier than dragging out the charging cable, charger, unraveling the velcro, plugging it all in to see if the outlet works...

And there it is - they're getting out of the US market https://electrek.co/2024/11/02/yamaha-throws-in-the-towel-pulls-out-of-e-bike-market-in-north-america/

Something to consider. I live in an exception zone - close to a regional airport. Every time I wanna fly the DJI from here, I gotta ask permission. Sometimes I can get it done in a few minutes; sometimes I wind up not flying it takes so long. Play store software fiasco also cost me several...

I actually had a positive experience over several reps today and finally got the drone issue sorted (I think - haven't tried to fly but could finally install the app and it opened). Took them several hours, but they finally got me there. But - just the possibility of it happening again is a...

You can allegedly get it straight from DJI, but the download never works. Their software is a pain to use anyway - can take forever to get it to fly if you haven't flown in a while. Half the time I lose interest before it gets all caught up.

Did just watch the video though. Amazing bikes - all of 'em. must. resist. emtb.

I looked around for solutions for a few hours on vacation & gave up. Still haven't been able to get it working again since I've been home. Probably need to open a support ticket, but snooze. Even if I can get it working again, I can't live with the idea that this could happen to my bike. I...

I'll be sitting out on the DJI stuff. My DJI drone no longer flies due to some software disagreement between Play store and DJI. App just shut down. No replacement. They lost my business forever with that move.

We have awful goat's heads here. I've tried it all. Stans / Orange Seal & tubeless for the win - hands down. I've had several tubeless tires leak through the sidewalls - never been an issue. Sealant in tubes does not work near as well as tubeless IME.

Curiously low prices. I don't see how they're making any money on these - especially considering the extra battery. These have nice parts on them too. I'm super temped to order one, but I have this sinking feeling there's a reason for the fire sale. Are the batteries suspect? I noticed you...

If you're just going to putz around the neighborhood a few times a year, sure, it'll probably be fine. I wouldn't rely on it to take me anywhere though. Definitely wouldn't count on it to get me back home. At the very least, I'd want to go through every part on it & make sure it's not going...

I never say where we're going. They don't usually realize where we are 'till there are all sorts of airplanes a few feet away. I live in the neighborhood - get a fair amount of F-15, 16 traffic at times - makes a helluva racket. Sometimes they park 'em up by the restaurant. I need to take...

Yep - my favorite restaurant in the metro. And it's easy bikeshot. It's just soooooooooo cool. And the food ain't bad either. I do happy hour up there with some pals now & again. Dinner when friends come in and wanna do something different. They're always blown away.

I'd get out there on a motard. It's at Centennial airport. I don't know when they whipped it back into shape, but it was looking rough not even a year ago - figured I'd never see it in action.

I still have a copy of this. Don't listen to it much, but it has seen a lot of use. It made the rounds in hi-fi circles. Not a vinyl person myself, but have heard a lot of nice setups. I wouldn't consider vinyl to superior in any way to a good digital setup, other than the nostalgia &...

Was riding around & heard what sounded like karts. There's this old track over by the airport that hasn't been used in forever - can't be that can it? Looks like it can - they re-opened the track!

Just tried to post a photo - no dice. Search function returns the same error. Slow too

I've had the same experience with Trek. Reported an increase in the vibration at certain motor speeds and loads, but 2 shops said they could not reproduce it. When I finally got a hold of someone at corporate, they bounced me back to the shops & weren't nice about it. Seems their tactic is...
