On the 6 pin TSDZ2 the tan wire and the purple wire are almost exactly the same color. You need to check in full sunlight.

For a cyclist I have it pretty good. Also everything grows here. I bit off half a dried fig and put the other half in the ground. Now I have a fig tree. We also have things such as redwoods. The down side is for people with allergies. Again, because everything they are allergic to also grows here.

Another thing is where you ride. If that is not bike conducive, the bike may not be used much. I ride daily all year. https://weatherspark.com/y/619/Average-Weather-in-Petaluma-California-United-States-Year-Round. Late afternoons and nights are cool all Summer. Winter is a green flowering...

Stripping away redundancy in the name of efficiency has a certain ideological appeal. But there is a practical reason aircraft have redundant systems: Back-ups of back-ups with a little added weight and some inefficiency. I do not want the lightest tires and fewest spokes, the lightest chain, or...

TQHPR40 bike motor https://electrek.co/2025/06/28/newly-unveiled-electric-bike-motor-is-worlds-lightest-most-efficient/ Solid State battery https://www.quantumscape.com/technology/ I want something higher performing by a factor of 2 or 3X, even if it weighs a little more. A six-year old who I...

As some of you already know, I am preferring the DM02 motors. One of the things I can do is adjust all of the variables regarding both the cadence sensor and torque sensor to get the feel right for any particular application. Four of these motors arrive today. One is going in a cargo bike. I am...

When people who do not ride bikes and do not know how to pedal and may be older buy an eBike, they might like a cadence sensor without torque, so they can ghost pedal. That is a big demographic. It is like one of those electric keyboards sold in shopping malls in the late 1970's & early '80's...

$2,000 is the spot just between low-brow fat-short legs, and high-end big forehead trim long-legs. Is the bike for around the low lands flat trailer park or on single track upon a mountain trail's lofty heights? Cool! This is what a guy said about my service today with five stars: an hour...

The Pace 500 is the most popular bike in America. It is comfortable and well put together. It is not high-end. It is for the middle market of Gen-X and Boomer folks new to eBikes. It is a little like wine or guitars. A $12 bottle or $250 guitar will be fine for 90% of the people. Then there are...

For the same money on a hub-drive look at the Velotric. It offers higher levels of refinements and comes already with a commuter rack and fenders.

It is like swimming with scuba flippers,

Those pedals make all the difference.

There are so many variables it is almost imposable where to start. Better bikes are all mid-drives. What class 1,2,3? What weight? Junk tires can be sliced with a thumb nail. What range. Do you know how to pedal like a pro? Commuter bikes have full sized tires that are not fat. They have fenders...

That is a real bike. We will get some with an O-ring on the stanchion of a non-adjustable pogo-fork, with plasi-chrome parts that do not do anything.

Welcome. I would enjoy seeing a photo in its wild habitat.

The state store system is weird. I got carded today and told them my DOB was 9,9,99. They said I was lying. And I said, so, I am old enough, or not? Input what you will.

Self-reply, not generally good and very rare. We ate a giant cake made from freshly toasted pistachios, crushed and pressed, baked, then topped with thick dark melt-in-your mouth chocolate after a gravel section. That was after riding to another place that makes their own ice cream from local...

We had a birthday party by bike today riding all over and enjoying sights and treats. This little town just got ranked a one of the best to visit. I never heard of the Star Wars Collection. But they are right about the food. https://www.cnn.com/travel/petaluma-california-best-towns-america-2025

Yep. Set the limits without the cable attached. Then set cable tension. Not indexing can be caused by cable friction, internal corrosion, or sometimes an over zealous cable zip tie on a shift housing. Also lube the derailleur pivot points. REI hires big kids to assemble bikes. They will apply...

If the old chain was the correct length, I put it over a door and cut the new to the same length. Stretch is internal between the rollers and pins, not overall. I make an old piece of spoke into a chain hook. It is about 75mm long with hooks on each end. That way you can size on the bike...
