    New tires

    FWIW, I contacted the Amazon seller about the bubble in my Schwalbe super moto x tire. Since I bought the tires last Sept, I'm well past the return window. The seller suggested I contact Schwalbe north America which I did... I filled out their online warranty form with copius pictures that they...

    Barrel size matters

    The fish were FINE... LOL.. That was an expensive hobby! Fuzgazi when the flood happened

    Barrel size matters

    Wife used to put the 50 gallon trash can in the bathtub so if it overflowed, it would run down the drain, for some reason, this time she didn't. We got home and water was dripping out of the light fixtures in the kitchen. RO machine was upstairs.. Fish were fined though. :)

    LOL.. we had an RO water flood too. Left the house on vacation with the RO machine trickling into a 50 gallon garbage can.. Overlfowed and flooded the house while we were gone

    Barrel size matters

    Well, the OEM charger has no screws holding it together and there is no fan so I'm afraid disassembly might could destroy it or at least make a mess. It's just a black plastic box with a green light and a red light. I hate dumb chargers but this is all I have at the moment. I'd love to be able...

    That's pretty cool. TBH, I'm never far from the battery while it's charging so simply setting an alarm on my smart phone has been fine for stopping a charge. The worst that can happen is I miss the alarm or it doesn't go off and the battery charges to 100%

    I did contact grin a few days ago and have yet to receive a reply. I contacted both their US distributor and the company itself

    Doing the math really isn't very difficult. My charger charges my pack 1% for every 2 minutes on charge. I simply note the charge remaining at the end of the ride and then set an alarm to remind me to unplug the charger. I could get real fancy and put a timer on the charger. LOL. Of course...

    Yes, I believe someone else w/ my battery bought a satiator and when connected voltage was 12.5 and not the 48+ volts that the battery was actually at. I don't think he was able to get the satiator to start even with the "force start" feature. Bad handshake I guess? I would hate to spend all...

    Barrel size matters

    Indeed. I use basic math and a timer to charge to approx 80% or whatever level I want/need but being used to hobby grade chargers with a plethora of information and then going to the black box "green light" ebike charger is kind of a bummer. I do like the ability to monitor the charge progress...

    Yeah, that's the worry. The handshake isn't the same and even trying a "forced" charge won't work, this after cobbling together the correct connector if I can find one

    I'm running into similar issues. I want to by a satiator but can't find the plug that would fit my battery. Someone mentioned they make one called "other small three pin" but I can't find it on their website. My charger plug looks like an XLR but it is not

    Seth prefers Schrader valves

    When I want to blow 50 bucks on valves for my two tires, I buy muc off big bore hybrids

    New tires

    If I didn't have that stripe I probably never would have seen the bulge

    New tires

    I'll do that. I had the bike shop install them but I didn't expect them closely when I picked them up. The bulge could have been there after the install or after one of my rides, I don't know. I didn't hit any curbs or anything. Max pressure is listed at 65 psi and I have them inflated to 60 psi...

    New tires

    Yeah it feels like the rest of the tire, it doesn't feel weak in that area, it's a very small bulge but it still bothers me. I've messaged the online seller but no reply yet. I'm going to bring the wheel into the local bike shop and have a pro give me his diagnosis. There's no wobble or anything...

    I'm guessing with such a small bulge in my tire it's safe to ride? I'd hate to have a front blow out at 30mph though. Most info I can find on speed rating for the super moto x is that it's rated for "high speeds"

    New tires

    Just noticed a small bulge in the sidewall of my front tire. What do you guys think? It's maybe bulging 1/16". I only noticed it because of the ripple in the reflective stripe

    New tires

    Thanks for posting that.. I agree, just looking at the hurricane and thinking about leaning over in a corner looks like it might be a little scary with that tread pattern. The only problem with your chart is that it doesn't show compatibility on pavement or I guess that's what they consider...

    New tires

    How do you know the transition to cornering on asphalt is tricky with the Hurricane? Is the super moto X better for this? And why does the big ben plus tread look exactly like the super moto x tread? Is the allgrounder less competent on pavement or the same as super moto X... I get confused by...
