That’s a beautiful bike. I’m happy for you that it fits you well. It appears, from the picture, that it has a proprietary stem. Would that be correct?

I don’t know that I’d want a Fugoo, but I’ve ridden the Foothills Trail enough that I can avoid the root heaves without looking! The stretch from South Prairie through Buckley is the best. They’re scheduled to start on the bridge crossing the White River about now, which will extend the trail...

My mother used a pressure cooker quite often when I was a kid. My wife and I use one, but not often. I’m not sure why we don’t, because it’s as easy and delicious as @duggie says. Nah, not the same. We have one of those too, along with just about every other kitchen gadget known to man, and I...

It can be added to any bike, though you would need to connect to either a phone or a computer. I don’t know if it can be paired with the Vado’s TCD. There are a variety of mounts available, so it can be installed on a seat, a seatpost, a rear rack, or even many bags. I bought the taillight...

My S-Works Creo has the “unpainted” top bar. I’m not crazy about the look, but I believe it is clear coated, not raw carbon fiber (hmmm…I could be wrong though.) Seems that would technically be “painted”. Also, as to UV damaging carbon fiber, wouldn’t paint, even clear coat, block UV...

Yes, I did go to a professional. He convinced me I needed a smaller seat, which I believe was correct, and moved it up and forward, and fixed the angle. That helped me stay in position on the seat (stopped sliding forward), which eliminated occasional perineal discomfort, eliminated knee...

I installed the Ritchey stem today. I’ve been having a problem with tingling fingers and tired upper back muscles. After a short ride (10 miles) today, I noticed an improvement already, but I think I will need to further increase the upward stem angle (currently approximately 12 degrees). I...

Previously in this thread, I spoke against using an adjustable stem, due to safety concern. That being the case, I’ve been trying to decide what length and angle of fixed stem I should buy, but struggling with it. I then thought “why not try an adjustable stem as a temporary measure, to see what...

It may not matter to the OP at this point, but I have the S-Works Power Mirror seat mounted on the Roval Terra Carbon Seat Post. The two have properly mated rails and clamps, so there aren’t any warranty issues. This post offers 18mm of compliance. While that’s not a tremendous amount of...

What some don’t seem to understand is that little in life or nature is black-and-white (For example, scientists can’t explain why were there no named storms in August, for the first time in 25 years….wasn’t global warming supposed to create more than usual?), and listening to opinions from all...

Yeah, it’s pretty silly of me to think that we should have adequate infrastructure in place for current demand before ADDITIONAL demand is mandated. Meanwhile, oil and coal obviously aren’t options, groups are lobbying to destroy dams and resisting a move to nuclear, solar and wind aren’t...

Hydro? We certainly can’t count on that. There are factions trying to force the removal of dams in Washington State. Fortunately, even our idiot governor is speaking up against it though. I guess that’s because his political career is already near its end anyway, so he’s not afraid to say what...

I pulled out my old Trek 1000 road bike last year, and had it serviced. New wheels (one was damaged), tires, and cables even. I rode it a few times last year, then hopped on it this Spring….once….and realized it had gotten too difficult to climb the hills, so I gave it to my nephew. I used to...

Have you tried it with the bike in an upright position, thereby keeping some weight on the wheel while tightening?

It looks like you knew what you wanted, and you’re all set! Enjoy!

One downside to the Thule Easy Fold is the 2 trays are rather close to each other. My Creo and my wife’s Rad Mini wouldn’t both fit on it without making contact, no matter how I positioned them. I no longer recall the exact dimensions, but I bought a Kuat Piston Pro to gain about 1.5-2.0 inches...

it uses Bluetooth, not WiFi. I’ve had one for several months, and have had zero problems. If it isn’t connecting, it’s likely in sleep mode. Pressing a button on the remote wakes it, and it then connects with BLEvo just fine. I believe Bluetooth range is about 30 feet, so as long as you’re...

I have no actual experience with this, but I have a Kuat Pivot Pro rack and considered purchasing a swing away unit. I see no reason the swing away should be considered to be brand-specific. The only thing I’d point out is how far the rack extends from the vehicle when this is added. If I’m...

Yeah, but that’d be a tough position on a bike. 😊 Maybe this should be in the Throttle thread.

Well, as I said (though perhaps not clearly), you don’t need to use your phone to change the assistance via BLEvo. You can purchase the O-Synce remote (about $75 USD) to control BLEvo, and step the assistance up or down while leaving your phone in your pocket or bag. The phone will even audibly...
