    Where are the bike tire nerds?

    I ride super moto-x tire (27.5 x 2.4) on a R&M Nevo 3 and really like them. It sounds as if we're riding in similar environments, so I don't think you'd be disappointed.

    Deaf Riders

    I have the same helmet mirror, and love it. It initially took some time to get used to adjusting it. I also have a Mirrycle mountain bike mirror, and Garmin radar; I use all three.

    Bike radar

    I love the Garmin radar. It even shows multiple cars approaching from the rear, and has a different color for fast approaching ones. I also like that gives you a visual alert on your cell phone screen, a sound alert, and a vibration. Still, I agree with @fooferdoggie. Mirrors are still...

    Using a Pet Trailer with a Ride1Up Turris?

    If you're in the market for a pet trailer, I understand that Kristi Noem might have a lightly used one for sale.

    Garmin Varia on a helmet using Apple Watch app (ARadar).

    I'd check what type of electromagnetic radiation the Varia emits before I strapped it close to my head.

    Does anyone know if the port on the listed models is the same as on the Nevo3, which is not listed. Thanks.

    Encinitas City Council declares emergency for e-bikes, bicycles

    Had no idea who/what Ogmios is/was, so I followed the link. Then followed a sidebar recommendation to this bicycle related topic: . So many rabbit holes, so little time.

    Hypotheticals - would you replace your R&M with another R&M??

    I have had a Nevo3 for a year and a half. I have had no problems with the exception of a small IGH problem, easily fixed. The bike (1100 ah) has more range than my butt (I'm 79), but with front suspension, Kinekt seat post, and Brooks saddle, I find the bike very comfortable. And at my age...

    Hitch rack for Superdelite with fenders?

    I use the Thule Easyfold on my Nevo 3, which has fenders and is heavy. It works very well and Thule stood behind their product when I had a problem. The clamp fastens to the seat tube and holds it securely.

    Have to pedal like crazy to reach max speeds.... wrong gearing?

    I believe what is being referred to as a tensioner is correctly installed. It appears exactly as mine does. You can also check out a clear photo of it from Propel Bikes at 9:28 in this video: . Tension is adjusted with the two screws, one on each side and accessed through the circular opening...

    Have to pedal like crazy to reach max speeds.... wrong gearing?

    When I first got my Nevo 3 (R&M) I was unable to reach its 28 mph max speed. I corrected the problem by resetting the hub to full overdrive. It's not too complicated and Enviolo has a clear video describing the process:

    Traveling home from vacation with Giant ebike. Rain in forecast

    Light problem is easily solved with auxiliary light strips like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YXH8FHX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for about $26. Easy to install and seem to hold up. I've had much less luck with bike covers. Still trying to figure out how to...

    That's about right, but no US dealers listed.

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    This may be apples to oranges, but when I first got my Nevi 3 (class 3) which has an Enviolo hub (not automatic), I couldn't get close to 28 mph. I reset the hub to full overdrive and that solved my problem. Here is the information I used...

    Is TCD Compatible With Garmin Varia?

    The Garmin link doesn't seem to exist. I found several listings for the unit online but all were sold out and some state it was not going to be restocked. May be discontinued.

    Bike related Christmas gifts

    Bought my son and grandson Sena pi bluetooth headsets. My grandson, almost 14, tends to let his mind wander a bit. I thought this might might allow his dad to keep him on track while riding. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092P6N95X?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    How many miles have you travelled on the e-bike(s) that you currently own?

    Yikes!! I hesitate to post 1,300 + miles on my R&M Nevo3 since I purchased it November 2021 after RabH just told us he's almost biked around the world - at the equator. Of course I could chance it and play the age card (78), but RabH might tell us he's 99. OK, I'm taking my bike to Florida...
