As a kid I was buying some mints and the casher asked if I have bad breath. Retailers do not know who you are buying for or why. Denture cream, condoms, formula, they should just look down and shut up.

Tighten the inside on mechanical all the way every week, then back off a click. Then tighten the outside all the way and back off two revolutions of the barrel adjuster. A littlie intitaiall rub is great. It won't last 20 applications and will stay tight for a reasonable time.

Yes, like the three lovers seeking a little privacy inside the hydraulic cardboard bailer. Lamination is not preferred once, let alone a second time like @Jeremy McCreary , but a Cartesian-way of being is so less complicating with only the X, Y to deal with and not all the multi-dimensionality...

It is thankfully a rare Cartesian condition that only happens in cases such as when a sheet of plywood falls on a worker as the steamroller is passing. Bloody Stupid Johnson invented the bike with a Pinon Box to a Belt to a Hub-Drive. Hint, you only need a belt if it needs something stronger...

I liked Tiffany Aching, Moist, and Bloody Stupid Johnson. I have seen some of his bikes.

I thought it meant someone who is laminated.

Some people do not know how to listen to their intuition. It has evolved from many millions of years of accident avoidance and it works.

I really like internally geared hubs for some applications. The down side for me is that they are heavy particularly given their limited spread. And they can be very expensive. I purchased a IGH bike for $150 used and sold it in two days for a bunch while I was still converting it. I am reminded...

He knows how to roll-off his bike. That is exactly what I did in my most recent crash at the beginning of the pandemic. I was in a rush to get a part like pads, and be back for an appointment. Lots of people were getting dogs or taking long dog walks with dogs who have never been out on MUPs and...

I like to downshift as I apply brakes. It is sort of like on a manual transmission car, using the clutch and brake with the same foot when setting up for a corner.

I have another luger. He has not shifted his bike in three years. And it has always been in high gear, so all the pressure is on the fewest number of teeth of any cog. The chain measures as fine. It is just the smallest cog that is worn. It is funny that yesterday coincidently I met him and his...

I normally do not use throttles except for the elderly and disabled. But I could make a special rheostat just for that. If it were Bluetooth it could be remote or tied to the torque sensor.

Eagles know how. https://www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles/ Let's see some more real bike photos. And not faux-toes. I still might need to get one of those Good, Good, Good, Vibrations saddles for a special customer, without mentioning it. Just let her find it.

I guess the next thing is wheels and tires. That Pashley Prospero came in at 41.7 pounds. I topped the amps at 17. She is 75 and is not going to go over 24. She just wants to ride with her old friends. Another thing, there may be internal limits if a throttle is enabled. I have never installed a...

Here is a recent DM02 build. Susan is 75 and took it on 12% grade single track MTB gravel trails. She has a $5500 Specialized SL Vado and loves this bike 5X more.

I was in the Yukon the third week of June and it made me sick. The sun never set. And mosquitos. Plus being so close to the magnetic north where north was straight down. I had to get back to the 38th parallel.

I know someone who got a clear tote and used two tiedowns inside it so the dog couldn't jump out. The dog was little apprehensive at first but now loves it with ears flopping in the breeze. That is right about the bedding; you could start by putting the tote on the kitchen floor with the bedding...

It is a nice bike. Do you have local service support? How large is the dog?

Make two identical paper airplanes but on one lightly sand the upper frontal surface. See which flies furthest. Take a bike to a 5% long grade. Coast down in a T-shrit, then again with a sweater. What was the maximum speed?

A shaved sheep has the about the same wind profile but is smaller, lighter weight, and less daggy. A goose or Albatross uses micro-turbulence to its advantage, just like dimples on a golf ball make it go twice as far. Idiot roadies shave their legs.
