His coffee mill was made of tin. But tin was made to pack things in: No Model T ever died of being noiser than hell: a reminder in reverse extrapolation of our Bafang motors' unaccountably variable cacophonies and bids to be worrisome crotch vibrators. I am not making any fun of you, Fran...

Am so sorry that some are experiencing more noise annoyance than myself. My CCS actually has gotten quieter recently. Whether our motor is noisy or not, or whether it has this-or-that noise characteristic, don't worry. Noise is the expected result of straight spur cut planetary gears, as...

Maybe...name your bike OneLessCar (for example) :cool: I myself prefer Krylon Fusion and Colormaxx. It is almost essential with colors like yellow, to put the color coat over a base of white. Reds benefit from going atop a black or gray base coat. Black and white are perfect base coats...

It may seem daunting, but it is not difficult, really, to strip your bike down to the frame. Then prep the bare frame for repainting. Recommended is to find a local bike craftsman who will do the respray for you in a protected place so the result will look as good or better than factory work...

It gets warm. If you like, turn it on its edge, setting it on a pair of pliers (thanks, MisterBritcom) and put it in the breeze of an electric fan, grin... Yet, it won't be harmed even if you do nothing for it.

Inasmuch as you already have the tires, use them! They will be...35-ish in their riding qualities. The bike will roll great. A thin tire needs higher inflation pressure and so it is not so forgiving as a fatter tire. You will have excellent acceleration. Your tires are just fine for the...

I like your ideas! Today: I just won't leave the bike very long unattended in a high risk area. So, I just only use the cafe lock and its plug-in chain and the motion alarm. A motion alarm would "protect" a bike trailer, too, I suppose. I think it might be enough. An alarm is so key, IMO...

I say this toward our inventor-member Ravi, most of all: people who invent generally know it will come to naught for themselves. They will not gain, but they will know they contributed to others' future well-being. Here was my own g'father and this was the first of a thing we all know. He...

https://swhs.home.xs4all.nl/fiets/index_en.html By lacing my saddle while it was yet new and un-sagged my Swift will never sag. It cannot sag because its shallow sides cannot now splay outwardly. Now, if experience proves me wrong, I will say so in an edit to this posting. But Wouter and...

Mr. Harris wrote me a quick note to express his intent, p0ppyman above, we are of an age. Only, you have business experience and education I lack. I was born in May of your year. We are of an age of Crusader Rabbits.

I agree! Fortunately for me, the black on red frame Juiced logo is not obnoxious or dominating. So I can leave it. I Refinements to my CCS frame is the ONE thing I have not done to the bike. Wait. Correction: I mashed the chainstays so I can run 2.35" tires. That would be classified as a...

He did not have permanent magnets strong enough then so he used electromagnets for field coils. He routed all the current through the armature, which did not spin, through the field coils, which did. He had ball bearings where they were vital. He had his choice of steel...or silent...

First ebike, my 52nd birthday, May 2006, a Currie that I soon modded to go 23mph by adding another 12V (for 36V) of SLA batteries. It was not long before I burned up the little outboard brushed motor! Its replacement lasted better with a hair drier blower motor integrated to blow a cold air...

There is no excuse for JB neglecting warranty support. Warranty support trumps the value of new sales. Yet we know they mean well. To sell at such a relatively small margin while also providing good support is the elusive goal. Hope J.B.s finds a balance that favors their adopters.

The Reention battery system is used by many. Even if Juiced were simply buying an already =spec-built= bike from that named firm, and they certainly are having it spec-built to their specs by an existing ebike maker in China, I can confirm that Juiced Bikes keeps spare parts in stock: I was...

I wrote to the Dutch author of this site, (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) He is really quite remarkable. The Dutch have been said, by others, to possess the highest intelligence of humans today. Such claims are to be weighed by how a saddle fits, in our cases! Or assets! (grin). Wouder...

Lots of Brooks stuff here in the saddle thread

Call me an honorary Dutchman (yourselves, too!) Much more than 760 mpy on the bike. I experience much faster arrival times to short-distance destinations. Mostly shopping. As for parking, I have the frame ring lock and the hidden, under-seat alarm, so I will even just use a car parking spot if...
