I rarely ride any great distance but, nonetheless, I want that bike fully charged, just so it is as primed as possible, in case I were to want to travel relatively far. Battery capacity lifespan is not as important to me as a full range always available. Even if I never use it. From...

I toon pianners wherever I can fine them. Yogurt cultured me says thanks. I is. Am truly enjoying the new Brooks. Makes me feel like you: a hardpan, hardass, bicycle primalist!

I have owned two different, ancient, American-made versions of this sort of fog horn in the distant past. Both sounded VERY loud and very expressive, depending on how you cranked. A Zound horn works on the same principle: that of a striking reed. The horn of both my ancient rotary fog horns...

Opinion essay. Our batteries require occasional balancing charges. Charge to 100%. If we do not balance charge on some sort of more or less regular basis, then any weak sister among the cells is liable to reverse charge on a deep discharge and cause the pack to shut down. Point: if battery...

I sure have thought about and missed you, Andy. Glad you are riding. Post more often. You have been missed!

He was brainwashed by the Jetsons!

Wish you would share that material here!

It was a different era. Mores were upheld against eternally-present greed and corruption! What would Washington say, if he were to come to life today? Grin, you just know I have some ancient video homily to project, ha ha! The key word is projection of the ego. I say it's good if the...

And that is so right! Here is my paternal grandfather in Chicago, high school graduation, 1907, he was born in 1889. These thing, relics, recalls, do not matter. But they do, inasmuch, at the prime basis: we reproduce soley to continue ourselves. Why? Because it's fun to re-cycle...

"After the fair is over," refers to the 1893 world's fair in Chicago, the Columbian Exposition. My own kin, a four year old grandfather, was there. In a sense, because we all are their determined posterity, we all cycled then and there, and all we have to do is to remember and also appreciate...

Listen to the voice of an active youth. He is of a growing minority in his own age set. I looked up what it would cost me to own a car again. Firstly, in Miami the cheapest auto insurance provides only "10-20-5" protection, laughably small public liability and zero collision protection...

What do you think of dedicated bicycle lanes? Would draymen respect them? What about the new self-powered vehicles? Perhaps the first proposal for bicycle lanes, https://archive.org/stream/bearings165181897cycl#page/325/mode/1up Notice, too, the maximum speed of the electric wagons...

Gears is gears, as Bruce notes. In my one-bike experience, engagement of the geared hub motor seems to vary depending on the relative internal positions of the not-always-perfectly-concentric internal parts. Is the carrier of the planet gears out of perfect concentricity by a thousandth of an...

Do you have favorite models of the Cloud 9 range? There are so many of them, from very wide, to medium-narrow.

I am fortunate to have a CCS in that it comes standardly with a 52T chainring. And I have gone up to 56T and could have gone 58T. But what I have allows a reasonable cadence at 28+ mph. However, as said by rich c, the power required to go faster rises exponentially. I would be surprised if...

https://swhs.home.xs4all.nl/fiets/tests/zadels/index_en.html#Brooks_b17_narrow https://swhs.home.xs4all.nl/fiets/index_en.html In reaction to what Wouter Scholten of the Netherlands (pages of his genius linked above ) did to a splayed-out Swift, I have minimally laced my new Swift today. Now...

Look at the range of them available on Amazon ? Here is a more athletic one that, if I were buying, I would choose. Here is a more relaxed one for men of normal size, more for upright riding but still good for athletic pedaling. Here is a cruiser type seat, fine for fully upright seating...

Yes, it is OK. Just remove and set aside or discard the steel clamp assembly from the rails. That is only for steel bike seat tubes, old bikes in general. The C9 should fit your existing seatpost clamp fine. There is only standard spacing for saddle rails. You have a lot to gain by trying...
