    Please share your itinerary. How do you split up the trip? I was thinking of taking a hotel in Wellsboro, doing the trail in one day, and then having pine creek outfitters drive my car to Jersey Shore. Though that shuttle is quite expensive at $125, so I am thinking there may be a better idea...

    Is there interest in a pine creek gorge group ride in mid-october? Myself, I would stay overnight somewhere along the way.

    Any jetski owners on these forums?

    A jetski will undoubtedly be my next splurge. Any owners on these forums? What do you own, and what do you like and dislike about it? BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand I know nothing about these toys, except that I love riding them around Vancouver "fjords." Reminds me of Norway (for a...

    State Farm 'telling' people 'what are ebikes' (pretty daggone cool for the industry)

    Is that ebike insurance only available in california? I took out a velosurance policy but am regretting it...after reading the fine print I am skeptical they would pay out in a loss or theft...lot of little technicalities in the policy.

    What Are We Paying For?

    I was shocked to see some of the specialized turbo creo models start at 15000USD. You can buy a compact car for that money. It will last a couple hundred thousand miles longer than the bike. Crazy

    Cheap bikestand solution

    The guys at Embn say it is no problem to turn the gears backwards (at least on a Yamaha motor). I have done this myself at least a dozen times to degrease and lube the chain. I am starting to realize that there are very few mechanics in the USA that are truley knowledgeable about eBikes. I am...

    Anti theft GPS

    I still don't understand how you would recover a stolen bike if it is in the thief's house. If it ends up at a pawn shop, the tracker would help. No judge anywhere in the USA is going to issue a search warrant for a cop to go knock on the thief's door based on an unproven GPS technology. It...

    Locks and Security Solutions for Electric Bikes

    I disagree with the 10mm chain idea, here is Bennetts review of the Abus 10mm chain, and it isn't pretty: https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/products/security/motorcycle-chains-and-locks/tested-abus-granit-citychain-x-plus-1060-review The Pewag 10mm chain is probably the only 10mm...

    Anti theft GPS

    Say the GPS tracker pinpoints the stolen bike and you know exactly what house the stolen bike is now kept in. That would not be enough for any judge in the USA to issue a search warrant for the police to enter the house and search for your bike. I could see how the GPS would be useful if the...

    Anti theft GPS

    In the US at least, I don't think the police will go hunt your bike down based off one of these gps trackers. The technology is not proven to the point that the cops will go get a search warrant to investigate the potential criminal's house. Likewise, say you track your bike down after it is...

    Anybody tried this? https://steerstopper.com/

    I looked into this as well. Let me know what you think. It sure is expensive but looks really useful. The alternative is the feedback sports handlebar holder thing

    Rack options on a Giant Fathom Hardtail eMTB

    Might as well chime in again that with the old man mountain rack, the entire load is carried on the thru axel. Its a rock solid design. I don't see any reason to buy a rack other than old man mountain.
