    QuickrStuff hitch bike rack

    Not yet, I'm about 115 down in the production queue. That's a lot better than the several hundred where I started.

    Bike trailer

    That has to be the prettiest trailer (of any type) I've seen. If you meet him again on the trail, ask about the approximate weight.

    Sondors changed brakes on new Rockstars.

    According to Arda from Ariel Rider, if you ordered brakes (video made in mid 2021), Tektro wouldn't be delivering them until 2024. Watch this portion of the interview until around 13:14:

    Bike trailer

    Slick! It looks like it's based on a Wike trailer or Wike DIY kit.

    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    I find that freshly ground coffee tastes better. Yes, it's a little more work, but worth it to me. If you are going to grind coffee a conical burr grinder is highly suggested. I even have a manual burr grinder for carrying on the bike: https://handground.com/

    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    If you are buying pre-ground coffee then you want to purchase espresso grind. But if you are purchasing whole beans, you have the option to tweak the flavor by adjusting the grind. Knowing what happens when you go too far either direction (sour/bitter) helps.

    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    With practice, you'll learn when it's about to start gurgling. I take it off heat at that moment and run a little cool water across the base to stop the brewing/extraction process. Experiment with your coffee grind to find what suits your taste. I use a fine grind similar to what is used for...

    Satiator sale a rare chance to save $80!!

    Not my forte', but the adapter right below the XLR to Rosenberger states: Would this not work with the Specialized SL?

    Why: Copious heat energy generated ( wasted ?) by my TV CABLE BOXES

    Most LEDs used for indicators run between .06 to .09 watts. The average SMT LED is around .07 watts. Remember that a flashing LED draws even less.

    Why: Copious heat energy generated ( wasted ?) by my TV CABLE BOXES

    Cable companies have little incentive to reduce the power usage of the cable boxes / DVRs. They buy massive numbers of boxes and instead focus on the cost per unit. Users expect instant on which in reality means always on rather than using a sleep mode. Some of the combo DVR unit use more...

    NEW SONDORS LX

    I carry this on the bike: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZFQJQRV/ I gave it a workout today when I pulled the valve cores to add FlatOut to the tubes. Those big beasts take a lot of air.

    NEW SONDORS LX

    One thing about big fat tires is that they provide a lot of air cushion at the expense of rolling resistance. If you bump up the air pressure closer to the 20 PSI max, you might find that it's easier to pedal without using the motor, but you give up having as cushy of ride. I'm experimenting...

    NEW SONDORS LX

    I have a set on order. The last I heard was late November shipping. But with the port delays, I expect (much) longer.

    NEW SONDORS LX

    My LX (finally) arrived today. Of course this is one of the busiest days of the month for me so I only have one mile on it so far. At least it's now in my grubby hands rather than sitting on a ship or dock.

    A Teenager Hit Six Cyclists While Trying To Roll Coal And Was Not Arrested

    While not useful to repair a bike, it could fix a bad situation. LOL.

    A Teenager Hit Six Cyclists While Trying To Roll Coal And Was Not Arrested

    I agree with this portion of your post. I'm not looking for trouble, but am prepared for it. Just like I'm not looking for a flat on my bike, but carry a battery powered compressor, tire levers, and patch kit should they be needed. A firearm is just another tool to carry.
