    Dash cams for bikes

    So after using it for a week, I LOVE it, and i really like the setup that im using. I use a 30,000 mAh battery that is in a bag above the bike's battery, it is protected from the elements there. the bag has a design to allow cable to come out (for headphones) so that is where the usb for the...

    Front Disc Brake not grabbing after cleaning, 1000 miles

    looks like the pad is not past the frame to make contact with the rotor. I have to see how i can move the pad closer to the middle.

    Front Disc Brake not grabbing after cleaning, 1000 miles

    i wouldn't say they got soaked, they may have had some alcohol when i was moving the rotors to clean them, but really not much as i was using a spray bottle to apply the alcohol. Yeah seems weird that it happened after the cleaning. I did take the wheel off and put it back on, maybe i bumped...

    Front Disc Brake not grabbing after cleaning, 1000 miles

    hello all i did major cleaning of my chain and than cleaned my brake rotors with rubbing alcohol. I took the bike out for a spin and didn't notice it until i was pretty long into the ride, but the front brakes were not grabbing at all, just cutting off the motor. I made it home using the rear...

    Dash cams for bikes

    Amazingly i got the package today from Alibaba. Everything installed and it seems like a great product. Just wanted to let everyone know that they can buy it from alibaba and save about $70 to $100 and the shipping was about 15 days. They estimated 1 month but also that it would arrive in 10...

    Dash cams for bikes

    I decided on ordering the blueskysea dv988, the newish one with 4 inch screen. It was $200 with a $30 off coupon on Amazon, so I decided to look at AliExpress and it was $145 there with gps. I looked even further at Alibaba and they had a sale with discounted shipping, so it was $95 and $2 for...

    Tall Pants for Fall/Winter, Rain pants 36" inseam

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about a rain cape, i have watched a lot of reviews and that seems to be a really good option. Velcro straps could be a great idea with safety built in. REI is having a labor day sale so i was thinking maybe some other stores are also having them and...

    Tall Pants for Fall/Winter, Rain pants 36" inseam

    Hey all, wondering if there are any tall riders that can recommend some good rain pants. REI has 1 tall rain paints, but they arent rated that great and i absolutely hate shopping for clothes, especially pants because very few stores carry 36" inseam pants. I used to use 5.11 pants that were...

    Walmart ebike with four year protection plan

    i think most bike sellers only provide 1 year warranty on most parts. And i'm sure batteries are the biggest problem besides the motor so with regular use i would almost assume that one will die within 4 years to get a full replacement, which is unlike any other offer from sellers. I also...

    Walmart ebike with four year protection plan

    yeah but the whole point of this thread is about the 4 year protection plan. And if a problem occurs, like battery or motor going bad, the whole bike should be replaceable. As in if the battery goes bad 1 or 2 years down the road, instead of contacting them about replacing the battery, the...

    Walmart ebike with four year protection plan

    Yeah that's key. If they can take it back via store it could be a great deal. 1 year from now if let's say battery or motor does, just put it back in box and take it to Walmart customer service. Once they take it back, a new one should be sent to you in theory. That is what I would want. I...

    Walmart ebike with four year protection plan

    I just got the rideal for 999, it's better than the rad mission. Check out the recent reviews, 750w motor and good off brand battery. But I am with you on the desire for a Walmart back up. I have little experience maintaining bikes so it could be a way to go for a cheap base bike

    Walmart ebike with four year protection plan

    I am very interested in this question for real. I really feel like this might be the best way to have an electric bike for years. Questions are... 1. If a problem with motor or battery occurs, most likely you will have to send whole bike back or better option can u walk it into a Walmart and...

    Squeaky fork and possible suspension fork upgrade?

    Hello all, I'm about to hit 500 miles on my Rideal bike and I have an annoying problem. Seems like after installing fenders and tannus armour to front wheel I have a really annoying squeak. Seems to be from the fork. When I move bike gently left and right, front wheel only, it squeaks. If I...

    Dash cams for bikes

    Yeah you have lots of room! Mine is very crowded and i even installed a handlebar extender lol. It does seem like looking at motorcycle gear could be a better way to go. The motorcycle cameras/monitors are better weather sealed it seems than the ones geared towards bikes that have it's own...

    Dash cams for bikes

    To be honest I have issues with my mirror that I need to overcome. I love it a lot, but within the first weeks of using one I had it very tight and secure but it over hangs past the bars, and I was on a walking path with a retaining wall to my left and I avoided a frog at night and lightly...

    Dash cams for bikes

    I just used the DJI today on the ride into work for the first time. I will give a more detailed review later, but initial impressions are i love it. You can set it up to loop record at 1 press of a button WHILE the camera is OFF, that is a pretty nice feature. I ride to work and keep the bike...

    Dash cams for bikes

    i am leaning towards getting the garmin now, but the one thing i WOULD like is protection to record incase of an accident with the chance to get a license plate or to identify the car. It seems like most of these "1080" cameras can not get high enough quality to do that. Also i am a...
