Replacing chain on my Magnum at end-of-season tuneup next Friday, 2400 paved surface miles in 6 months by a 175 lb slowpoke - 13-15 mph - rider. My chain is in the same condition as Christob's and my cassette is also fine. And I should probably get a new avatar photo, one showing my e-bike not...

Thudbuster LT, got it used for 1/2 price. 175 lbs riding paved surfaces, not really worried about breaking it off.

I've got the stock Schwalbe Big Bens w/tube on my Magnum, ride almost exclusively on paved surfaces, MUTs and roads. 2400 miles, 1 flat at about 2000. I think Denver does a pretty good job of sweeping streets but with all the construction going on there's plenty of debris around. My puncture...

I tried it, threw it out. Side to side, front and back, it's like being in a rowboat in a Perfect Storm.

Haven't installed yet, takes some rewiring, sorta worried about blowing warranty (6 most left) by messing with wiring.

At a rest stop at Hudson Gardens yesterday I ran into a couple biking with their two children. Mom carried the youngest in a basket on the front bars, giving the kid a view of something other than Mommie's butt but I loved the older one riding in a WheeHoo trailer. It lets them pedal along or...

Went with a Foldylock Compact from Seatylock. Childish name, good product, lower in price than Abus. http://seatylock.com

I've got Wald baskets also, no problems once I figured out how to mount.

Picked up a Thudbuster ST from my new elbs (Slo-Hi Cycle), took it for 30 mi test. Still needs some tweaking I think but riding it was as if someone had just resurfaced the path. My butt and back are in love with it. Even more because it had been on a demo for a month and I got it for $85.

Got my first flat (front) after 1900 mi. Of course had to make a big deal out of it - I had just installed Hexlox, managed to lose the key and got a flat the very next day, had to wait a week for delivery of new keys from Germany. Hadn't fixed a flat in 50-60 yrs but I guess it's like riding a...

Sounds like a song title!

Had my first 50+mi ride Saturday morning, it pretty well reflects my overall ebike experience. Was thinking about 20 mi when I left home so I dropped down to the Platte River and headed North to Clear Creek. Felt so good when I got there that instead of turning around and heading home turned...

On the "Best E-Bikes USA" fB page there was a post (Aug 25th) about booster batteries. Wondering if anyone here has done it, and results? Would it require changing controllers? I have a Magnum Metro w/48v 13ah batt fitted into frame. Here's some of the post explaining the idea : "We can add a...

39 mi day down the Platte to Bear Creek and west to the 13th tee at Homestead Golf Course, then home. 715ft climb in last mile out, twisty paved path, great views even on a hazy day. Most of Bear Creek is nice, long wooded stretches some open almost savannah areas. Had to stop at Grant Frontier...

76. That seem like middle age here.

At the shop yesterday and heard they are moving to Shops at Northfield in September. Bummer. One of the reasons I bought the bike I did was the close (1 mi) location of a dealer. I have a good lbs - Yawp Cyclery - close for regular bike stuff, not sure how I'll handle any electrical issues.

Bought thru Velosurance, got a policy with Merkel for my Class 3 Magnum. $24/mth, gives more than basic coverage. Have no exp with claims yet, thank God.

Shipping est fm Canada is 9-13 days, cheapest method.

It Was an X4, not E4. Creeping senility.

Ordered a Roxim E4 fm ebike.ca, $80 + shipping. Tried to find a Busch & Muller IQ X E but no luck.
