There's no doubt low load and slow charging greatly improves battery longevity. I fly RC with lithium polymer batteries and although they can be charged at 5C as per the manufacturer, they last a lot longer if charged at 1C. My planes with very powerful electric motors are harder on the...

yeah o.k. smorgasboard. Isn't there a smorgasboard somewhere near you where you could go for a while? :)

I'm sorry your feelings are hurt by my humor :)

It works for me. I love the maxima chain wax so I bought a can of their chain lube and then I thought, hey, if I spray the wax after the lube, it might give me better results and for me, it seems to be workingl YRMV. but don't post anything about it unless you have a caliper based chain...

Just won't let it die eh smorgasboard? o.k.. you win, my chain checkers are crap, my system of lube then wax is crap, my posting in two threads is crap. Thanks for being so diligent in pointing out the actual factual truth. If anyone is taking this personally, it's you. Looking forward to your...

Hey man, I found a combination that works for me and thought I'd share it. You seem to revel in taking it down... Carry on if it gives you joy. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm just appalled you'd put so much time and energy into debunking everything I've said. Now as far as chain lube and chain wax...

Yes, o.k.. my chain checkers are junk. I've used them on other chains that show wear and they seem to work o.k. My point was with chain lube applied first and chain wax applied second, I'm not seeing any measurable wear but when using just oil based chain lube on other chains, wear is quite...

Well, no, not that accurate, one is from park tools, I forget the model and the other is a cheap amazon gauge. I'm sure I'd show some wear if I had a highly accurate gauge but my gauges are good enough for ballpark measuring and surprisingly, neither shows wear. On my 250 watt Haibike using...

Very happy with maxima chain wax. I actually apply the maxima chain LUBE first, and then hit it with the chain wax. 1,500 mi. on a 9 speed chain with bafang ultra motor and no measureable wear on either of my chain checkers

I switched out the Kenda knobbies that came on my Rize RX with bafang ultra motor. I installed schwalbe super moto x tires. The super moto x tires are a hybrid made for street and some dirt but IMO, they are strictly a street tire. The difference in ride quality and rolling resistance was...

I've been using Maxima chain lube (available from Amazon) which is a standard type wet lube followed by Maxima chain wax.. The lube penetrates deeply into rollers, pins and plates then the chain wax seals this lube in so there's no fling off or mess.. 1,500 mi. on a bafang ultra motor and 9...

Same, use a timer to shut off the charge no higher than 90% . A couple times each year I do a full 100% balance charge My one ebike battery is 4 years old now with no signs of degradation, at least that I can tell. about 4,000mi.

I pay a dollar a week for Reuters news. The most neutral news source that's available to us. If it's on reuters, it's real, it happened and there's no spin

I suppose you think this is all a fun game. The reason people are posting here is because they do NOT "feel better" most feel pretty terrible with the state of affairs but I guess if you just watch conservative media, everything is fine, trump is playing 4D chess,the golden age is coming and...

Trump claimed last Thursday that gas prices “hit $1.98 yesterday in a couple of states.” That wasn’t true. No state had an average gas price below $2.70 per gallon on Wednesday, according to data from AAA, which reported a national average of about $3.17 per gallon. And the lowest individual...

Autopen... LOL.. Only democrats use it,, never republicans. That's their latest "scandal".. weak

Notice how trump only goes after "fraud and waste" in departments he doesn't like?

As far as eliminating waste goes, yes, a good idea. However having mass firings only to hire people back when you realize their jobs were important and some aspects on society can't function without them is at best poor policy but we've come to expect poor policy from this administration. The...

Roamers is offering to "help" people by telling them to buy stocks when market volatility is at a high. The markets could completely collapse, or suffer a huge down turn at any time. Of course OTOH, markets could rise but I see little reason for them doing so in the current environment...

What a great way to live life, waiting to play the presidents next "trick" Manufacturing is dead, it's not coming back, at least not as we knew it
