Another Russian navy vessel joins the Moskva at the bottom. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-claims-harpoon-missile-attack-on-russian-navy-ship Really interesting that there was an anti air system onboard. Not functioning, or did the Harpoon's get through an operational Tor-M2KM...

I agree, a proportional brake lever would make a lot of sense. They have been discussed for a few years now, I'm surprised that a reasonable ebike oriented one (small, simple, waterproof, etc.) hasn't shown up. I think having regen capabilities in a number of popular controllers combined with a...

No, probably not the same amount of heat as going up but it's still adding some heat, where in the past when coasting downhill the motor was cooling off. I agree, and we've generally been referring generically to regen as providing either or both functions (recharge voltage to the battery and...

I saw that. Plus there's a meme floating around out there that's basically one of the factory safety signs with the title "Number of days since last Russian general killed". The number never seems to get very high.

I wonder if more folks investigate the use of regen whether we'll also see more use of heat managing/reducing items like hubsinks and Statorade? I mean, when will we give the motor's a break? You climb the hill and everything gets hot and now going down the other side with regen enabled the...

Jo, what have you been reading (and consuming)? The Ukrainians have been getting mucho equipment from a lot more folks than just the US. Their armed forces aren't just sitting there with rifles. "Low on 155 ammo" - who says? and in what context (low at the front, low in country, what?), low on...

25mph average is indeed a lofty goal. With a road bike like setup (700c wheels, sub 40lb ebike weight, 500w hub motor, 750w battery, and a 210lb human) I can with about 125w of my power and 200w of assist average 35kph/22mph over 50k of open (no traffic) but rolling terrain ... and using around...

What the @#$% is that? I've got soooo many questions and comments, but I'll try and keep an open mind so we'll start with just one ... what is the use case for the owner?

I like the idea of a bigger more robust BoB for those 10lb+ batteries, especially for Aluminum or CF frames. I see you're not bothering with any use of existing nuts on the frame, so just straps. I also like the increased surface area on the "outriggers". That design should work on a variety of...

That number is going to be cadence limited. With experience analog bike riders can sustain over 100rpm with higher numbers for short periods. The most popular top end gearing for a road bike is 53x11, but there are some higher ratios available if you want to put together something a bit more...

Me too. I have however seen 65mph (not sure of the exact top speed as I was watching the road more carefully) a few times in Colorado on some long downhills on an analog bike with 700x20 or 23 tires. Funny what goes through your mind at those speeds (contact patch size, tire quality/condition...

Now if we're all finished discussing fast food ... Vlad the Impaler ... https://theweek.com/political-satire/1013689/vlad-the-impaler

I was thinking the same thing ... plus the idea that if the Clown doesn't believe in you anymore, you're done. 😄 😆

I keep hearing this idea, and I just don't buy it. Well at least in that it doesn't remove the threat. First define "lifespan". It doesn't mean "doesn't work", it seems to define "may not work as originally designed". An interictally designed multi stage thermonuclear weapon doesn't need to work...

True, I was trying to keep it simple with the idea of all the western companies pulling out and no one investing in Russia. I changed the line item to better reflect this.

Putin's Spring 2022 To Do list 1) Reduce the size of Russia's military 2) Reduce the size of Russia's economy 3) Reduce the number of customers for Russian oil and gas 4) Reduce the number of Russian educated workers, especially those in hi-tech 5) Reduce the number of pesky yachts all his...

I believe it was even offered to Egypt as well. There's going to be a lot of pressure on a bunch of middle eastern governments to accept cheap available grains. Empty bellies make a good starting point for revolutions. If the west was smart there would be a strong program to help feed the...

My chuckle of the day ...

I was waiting for a memes/images like that ... It's just sooo obvious. 😄 I was thinking of an image of the parade route with a whole column of farmers on tractors turning and saluting the dais with a raised finger, with Putin turning to a general "who invited them!"
