Do people from Balaclava eat baklava and wear balaclavas? 🤪

How cold have you had the 21700 pack and how much degradation have you seen? I'm riding a Grin 750wh 52v battery with 21700 cells and while I haven't had it out very often below -20C (-4F) I have ridden regularly in -5 to -15C (20-5F) and haven't noticed a big drop (maybe in the 10-15% range)...

Still no real accumlated snow. We're currently getting a snow/rain mix that will turn to straight rain later this afternoon. This is the top end of the huge weather front that's pummeled the east coast and has now mostly gone out to sea. Winter 2024 in NB, warmer, less snow (so far) and no...

My local trails are very wet and sloppy. We had rain/freezing rain/sleet and finally a little snow last night. It's been like this for much of December, a bit warmer than average, not enough snow to properly cover and not cold enough to freeze solid ... so still just a cold sloppy mess with...

Like the comment earlier ... there are good and bad cadence based systems. I ride one that ramps power up no matter what the setting, so it's safe and comfortable to ride no matter the cadence level selected. A throttle gvies me instantaneous power, the amount being controlled by my hand. The...

Virtually every commercial torque sensing configuration also has some sort of pedal movement (cadence) sensing, whether it's a separate sensor or some sort of analysis of the waveforms from the torque sensor. As PU says "it is a safety thing". On the surface it just makes sense for the logic to...

At 3 bucks you get to completely ignore the snickering about them being "womans". Besides they're a base layer so all comments are pointless. As for the rest, I'm envious. The combination of time (inflation), USD to CAD exchange rate (~30%), and just generally a bigger market with more...

Lousy quality zippers or ones that wear/fail permaturely are the bain of my existence. It affects all of my fall/winter/spring activities and makes still very serviceabe coats/fleece tops of all sorts unusable. I haven't had the zipper in a pair of pants fail, yet ... but don't talk to me about...

Nice and festive but you're looking a bit green and thin. :D

Buy a Surly Bridge Club. Add a BBSHD or more preferably a CYC mid motor kit (the CYC is a newer slightly lighter design with more flexibility in it's installation/use). Add a good 48 or 52v battery and you're all set (perhaps using two). You might also consider a simple solar charging setup to...

That's a pretty cool place to store a cover. Unless I'm fully "kitted" with all my rain gear I figure how well my helmet/cover combo works is going to be the least of my issues. Well almost the least, since keeping your head relatively dry does make you feel better. Getting drenched from the...

I use a slightly thinner (but less rain protection on it's own) "head gaitor" than that nice Sealskinz one that m@Robertson mentioned. Instead I also have a thin rain cover for my helmet. This provides reasonable wind and rain protection as well as an insulating layer (air space) when it's...

Nice pic. We also have a number of oaks that still have all/most of their leaves (and now also very red) ... they stand out well against all the white ... :mad:

What is this "green" you speak of? Went to pickup a 25lb bag of dog food this afternoon. We had 10+cms of snow a few days ago and it's been quite cold since (well below freezing as the highs). That left nicely packed side streets and the MUPs were a bit icy with a very thin hard packed snow...

Yup, appears to be the same here (so far) on the east coast.

I've had a problem with every "gaiter" style product I've tried, they don't effectively cover the tongue area enough to be water proof under heavy rain conditions. A longer area to cover the tongue is a good start (most don't even have this) but they also have to sit firmly against the shoe and...

Or the new rear All-Axle DD motor which seems to sit (power wise) in between the two. If I was regularly commuting in traffic (so keeping up in moderate speed traffic would be important) I'd seriously consider a DD. The new rear All-Axle with the flexibility to be installed in a wider variety of...

Not paying enough attention and saw "b" instead of "d" in the online info - correcting my post above. Thanks for the background as I'm now cluing into the reason for the b, c, d designations to go with wheel diameter. The imperial vs. metric labels (and the end users who don't pay attention)...

The brake power cut out/off features are a simple safety feature but aren't always present in many DIY installations. They are a form of "belts and suspenders" approach to the risk of the motor moving your bike when you don't want or expect it to. For most folks (especially those with some...

There have been times when a heavier wrench wasn't available that I've used 2 or 3 cone wrenches wrapped tightly together to remove a 15 or 17mm nut. Most cone wrenches are made from a reasonably hard steel but can easily slip when they are less than perpendicular to the flat nut surfaces, and...
