    Front Bike Camera - Specifications

    I have seen those posts which I have found informative. I would, however, prefer a camera without a case which I can 'lock' to the bike with a security bolt to save having to remove it all the time.

    Front Bike Camera - Specifications

    Thanks. I am curious about your reasoning for 4k 60fps, which I assume is demanding for battery life. Maybe less of an issue in daily traffic riding, I guess. Looking at the Akaso Brave models, for example, they have a separate charger (USB) plus come with two batteries out of the box. I assume...

    Front Bike Camera - Specifications

    If you were looking to buy an action camera for the front of the bike today, its primary use would be daytime riding on the road, and its secondary use would be capturing footage of interesting bikepacking/touring rides. What specific features/specifications would you consider a minimum? I am...

    Using Copilot AI to find my next eBike

    This is interesting. I had not considered using AI to assist with such a comparison ... now I can see myself doing a phone comparison, an action camera comparison and an active watch comparison just to get started :)

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    Thanks for the reminder that I need to sort this out with school starting in two weeks. Reading https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/abus-granit-x-plus-540-review/ put me off the Abus, but your suggestion was handy for sizing information. So, having read further at The Best Bike Lock, I have...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    I have considered them, but they may be overkill for me here in Perth as where I will be locking up the bike is already semi-secured plus the excess on my insurance is less than the price of the lock. Other than touring (low risk) I do not tend to leave the bike unattended for other than maybe...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    I plan to use my Supercharger 2 to ride to law school (campus), and whilst it is 'locked' in a bike cage, it still needs to be secured with a lock approved by my insurance company, such as the Abus Ultra 410 U Lock SH34. I prefer a D-Lock rather than a chain for convenience, but I am curious...

    Stolen e-bike batteries could be made worthless if Bosch was less greedy

    Not sure where you are getting that idea from. The article refers only to a digital lock.

    Battery recharge with dynamos?

    My experience with two bikes with dynamos is that over a day of riding (mostly touring or Audax), the dynamo will keep the lights on and maybe maintain the battery charge on the GPS or at least slow down the drain. Turning the lights off does help with the GPS charge, of course). I cannot see...

    Pannier bag update, the ultimate hack!

    Here in Australia, we would call that a MacGyver after MacGyver of the TV series.

    c02 Inflator Question

    If it was for motorbikes, then it would likely be for Schrader value. It also looks like it is for a Schrader value as well.
