    Broken spokes 604 is out of stock

    you need the wheel rebuilt replacing the spokes won't fix it. find a shop that can do it it needs to be rebuilt by someone who knows what they are doing. but if it uses those big spokes it may be limited who can do the work.

    got the govee lights set up as it was a warm day today. they are longer than really work on the bike, but I made it work. they are for under-car use. but they have so much better colors and brightness and movement and flashing then the motorcycle cheapy lights I had.

    The third bike I got 14,000 miles on.

    ya my sore spot was the wheels. I chose it as it uses the batteries I already had for the extra battery. Plus there were not as many choices as there are now. but the 2" tires help especially with slick tires. but would have rater had 700c wheels.

    GPS vs Maps

    I never drove so my navigation skills were null when I started riding more. sometimes even following my GPS I miss things like I can't see the street sign so don't know to turn there or when I start you cant always tell what direction you need to start.

    Is mid-drive vs hub drive efficiency differential affect by pedaling cadence?

    The thing is, the mid-drive motor speed is set by how fast you pedal. The optimum speed is around 80 to 90 rpms cadence. . A hub drive needs to be at its highest speed to be efficient. that's maybe 28mph or whatever the gear is set at.. so if you climb hills or not going flat out it is never at...

    Anyone get glasses at Costco?

    One thing you are stuck with is the coatings that one provider offers. Two different providers used the same company to do it but offered different choices in coating, like scratch, glare, fog, and hydrophobic coatings. hydrophobic coatings are hard to find. but it is great for riding in the rain.
