    do you require them to be removable or foldable? have you used pedals in the past you prefer? are you seeking MTB type pedal or road type pedals? any other requirements besides being larger?

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    🤣 this thread is all over the place. as someone who lives on some nice infrastructure i can say… the “they” and “them” that some people might think aren’t doing their part of delivering to the masses. it’s you. waiting for infrastructure to show up will do nothing. act locally. the...

    Tires for the 2.0

    the CST Big Boat tires are less knobby, they are an all purpose tire with reflective sidewall and some added puncture resistance in the tread area (according to their marketing)…. they would be fine for pavement and packed gravel use.

    JUIN TECH Hybrid Hydraulic Road Bicycle Disc Brake

    is it correct however, that full hydraulic would not work if the intention was to preserve the foldability of the bike snd handlebars? my sense was that folding full hydraulic lines may present potential issues but i haven’t validated that with anyone with more experience. i have full...

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    i concentrate my efforts in the trails close to me and my areas of interest. that is also where i can have the most success and direct impact snd be an integral part of the solution. i don’t put my own time against issues in other regions or at the national level because my influence and...

    "Potentially Delayed" bike "Potentially Lost" by FedEx.

    my advice is to call and ask politely to be escalated to the support manager, director of who never is in charge. the regular phone answered are limited in what they can really do by the scripts they follow. it’s difficult to appeal to their emotions when their hands are tied.

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    i don’t quite understand the analogy? apologies. cars going 50mph on the road is not the same as people with pets on a path walking 4-5mph, cyclists at 5-10, and ebikes at 10-30 in mixed traffic. most of the local regulations aren’t really about the top speed of the bike as much as it’s...

    Class 3 Bikes: What Do Manufacturers Know That We Don't Know?

    The matter isn’t really about logic or emotion or what we believe constitutes a bike. The matter is about whether we believe the land will be locally governed, that while some things are regulated federally, vast majority of things that affect our ability to go about our daily lives, are...

    Shipping Lies, be prepared

    What did Aventon say when you called them? I had a bike enter “shipped” status (because i created a fedex account in their app and i can see when a shipping label intended for me is created, even if i didn’t get an email from the vendor) which means the vendor has printed a label which tells...

    Tires for the 2.0

    I had an email conversation with customer service back in june, they mentioned that while the 2.0 was initially intended to keep the 4” tires, they made the change to 3” for improved maneuverability and to accommodate the suspension fork they had sourced.

    JUIN TECH Hybrid Hydraulic Road Bicycle Disc Brake

    the Accessories for your XP thread has several mentions of the Juintech. people seem to like them. cables and all that stay on. it’s just the calipers and pistons. bolt on. should go pretty quick with no unusual tools.

    i mean, 🤣🤣🤣🤣, i rarely would do a big cut and paste like thst, but it was a unique situation where the evidence thst refuted the argument of another was the withdrawl of said evidence by its author as fraudulent. it’s kismet.

    has this theory been upheld by case law re: masks and/or vax status, HIPPA and protection from discrimination? i am not aware of any viruses where catching it and going through the treatment is better than getting vaccinated for that virus. maybe there are some i’m not aware of? i’m personally...

    global warming

    my point was not what you believe but why you believe it. i guess from the various responses i can piece together the answer from a few if you. i was merely trying to take this away from a red/blue political 💩 and towards something that was a bit more about how we form our opinions instead...

    global warming

    eh i’m not interested in playing logical fallacy games today. no such law exists protecting the vax status. ergo business can set their own policies on that. it’s legal to discriminate based on vax status under current laws. businesses can’t ah, make murder legal in their store because...

    how do you get that? it’s not legal to discriminate based on gender, race, etc. it is legal to discriminate based on vax yes/no it’s not my rule. i’m just okay with it.
