    Got my 15yo son the Wired predator. Did i make a mistake?

    It is for private lands only, Utah ranch all off road. He will die or kill and that unlawful motorcycle will be confected as evidence. Have him first take the CHP class and pass it at 100% or no way Jose. Darwin Awards 67,32.0. Bicycles work pedals...

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    I will live stream. It will mostly be NCA Division 1 Volley Ball players at first. Going mostly for either the Brazilian or Hollywood looks. Some are also beach volley ball players in the Summer off season. It is high demand, and someone needs to do this dirty work, like stepping up to jump on...

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    I have some unsightly hair and wrinkles down below, so I need that same hot wax treatment with Botox injections in all the wrinkles for the Cure.

    True Love in Color

    I am working on nice XL Giant for a 21-year-old who is taking it back to college in NY. It is his main transportation. It is getting a tune with bunch of refinements and upgrades. He is slim 6'6" and 21 so he does not need an eBike. Analog is just fine. I am truing the front wheel now and it was...

    Do All eBike Motors Have Issues?

    The heavy Aventon Adventure II had a harmonic issue only at 12.5 Mph. The fat tread matched the rotor frequency. There was noting adventurous about that bike. It was a fat trailer park leisure throttle bike sold as a 'mountain bike' because of the large heavy tires and pogo fork.

    What brake pads do I buy???

    I have high viz gloves that breathe and have palm padding. But that is not working on something.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    Do you have access to a used peanut butter or instant coffee jar? You can heat your solvent to 40C and put on some Latin music with your chain in there.

    What brake pads do I buy???

    I was eating my lunch with two female associates and somehow the topic of rubber gloves came up. I said that I can't because I need to feel what I am doing. They laughed for ten minutes.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    I am learning that there are four types of hot wax treatments: Regular, Brazilian, Extended, and Hollywood. Now that I am all set-up in my workshop with my mini-crockpot, I can begin offering them.

    Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

    @BurroBabe, I have a couple of things in common with your Donkey that others may not fully appreciate. Stopping must match going. A 180 disc is better than a 160mm disc at stopping. It's about leverage and torque. A properly set-up and adjusted 700c rim brake is much better, in most conditions...

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    Okay, obviously I am joking. But it would be fun to plant bikes around town with hidden cameras and to have them set-up with glitter bombs. So the thief is covered. It could also release a supper stink that is engineered with only one special antidote, so it lasts for days. An accelerometer...

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    So when you use your bike key that is what cocks the hammer? At least hemorrhoids would no longer be a problem! Three cell mates were discussing their specialties. The guy without an A55 said, I was a bike thief.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    When loosing my wife, my kids, my savings, my house and while being attacked from every angle in the divorce I did not want and would not fight. She said I was being erratic. How does a rabbit run when it is being chased by dogs?

    Looking at this from another angle, what do Proctologists ride?

    What brake pads do I buy???

    @Chazmo, The bike I am working on has O-rings. Look for them and remove them. The screws that hold on the calipers often have a stack of washers and the mounting block. That is all preassembled before it goes to the factory. And it is secured by little O-rings so everything does not fall apart...

    What brake pads do I buy???

    I am about to replace some pads. The first thing I did, just now its to wash the area first and rinse it well.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    No one needs to follow me. Yes, actually I do clean them, but only as part of washing a bike, not as a special chain thing when giving a bike a rinse. My clients like that it is not petroleum because they are a bunch of Nor. Cal. hippies. One bike that came in yesterday is from Berkeley. If I...

    Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

    That is only while you move it to the new bar. It is humor, so you will forget that it is electric while working on it. I have purchased this handlebar 14 times. I put it on my Vado after trimming an inch from each end.
