    Do they make head lites that...

    You can get mounts for lights that go on the forks. A Google search should bring up options. It is then a matter of finding a suitable light.

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    Good to hear ... what little I could find on the topic was pretty much unsubstantiated marketing-type commentary: XYC manufacturer makes an e-bike tyre, so that is best for one's e-bike type arguments. Trying non-ebike specific tyres does increase the options. The other aspect my bike is...

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    Thanks for the feedback. Thinking about this, I have done 1,000s of kilometres touring on outback roads on my Surly Long Haul Trucker with various versions of Schwalbe Marathon tyres of over the years, so something along the lines of the Byways really should work for me.

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    I am curious about the Byways and how they handle the gravel, including loose, sandy and muddy conditions. The slick centre-line does not translate easily in my mind to good gravel road riding

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    Your mention of not E Ruban raises an interesting question. Is it really necessary to ride with e-bike tyres or are 'normal' tyres just as fine?

    What tubeless tyres are you running?

    This thread is not a tubeless versus tube tyres debate thanks; rather, I am just interested in what tubeless tyres folks who ride tubeless are riding. I am fishing for options/brands/models to consider. I am looking around for future options to replace the Schwalbe Johnny Watts 27.5 x 2.35...

    Outfitting a drop-bar ebike for recreational use

    I may be the exception, as commonly tour with the daily kilometres between 80 to 150 km on my Riese and Muller Supercharger 2. If it had been an option at the time of purchase, I would have gone for a drop bar bike, similar to the new Salsa bikes. For context, the bike I have done the most...

    Do You Have Bike Libraries In Your Area?

    First Flat!

    I have purchased a bottle of Joe's No Flats Super Sealant which is meant to be usable inside tubes. Yet to apply it and see if it helps. My preference is like @rob feature to go tubeless. I will probably do this when I need to fit new tyres. My rims are tubeless ready so an easy change.

    For Those Of You With Handlebar Mounted Mirrors, One Mirror Or Two?

    All three of my bikes have a single mirror mounted on them. I have not found to date the need to add second, given that I need vision of the side where the traffic is coming from.

    Supercharger Garmin Varia rtl515 Rack Mount

    I saw that option as well and got all excited till I saw the price and then thought about the wiring issue given I have a Bosch drive unit on a Riese and Muller Supercharger.

    Supercharger Garmin Varia rtl515 Rack Mount

    This thread is about mounting for a Garmin Varia. That should be a big hint :) From what I can find, there are none from DCRainmaker or GPLarma other than some basic. These are the unit-type videos from about a year ago. That said t makes no difference to me, given I am looking at mounting...

    Outfitting a drop-bar ebike for recreational use

    Sorry, I cannot help much with the phone mount as I haven't bothered with one until now. That said, a quick Google search brought up this article at Gear Lab. It might at least give you some ideas.

    Outfitting a drop-bar ebike for recreational use

    I have had numerous drop bar bikes and never had any issues mounting a headlight, phone holder, bell or mirror. There are numerous well-established manufacturers, including K-Edge and Garmin, that make mounts for headlights and GPS units. I have never removed any bar tape to mount these items...

    Supercharger Garmin Varia rtl515 Rack Mount

    A lot of alternatives? Do you mean such as the Bryton Giardia R300L, the Trek CarBack, Magene L508 (I have not heard anything about this one, which speaks volumes to me), IGPS SR30 (does not make the shortlist), Tutuloo W100 (never heard of this one before now ... not going to cut it). In my...

    20" Rims

    That is disappointing. Another possible option is to enquiry at https://www.bentrideronline.com/ as they are 'common' in the recumbent world.

    Is this for use on the bike or at home? It does seem to be quite a substantial device.

    Schwalbe Smart Sam vs Johnny Watts on SUV bike

    I have Johnny Watts on my Riese and Muller SuperCharger, and they are OK off the bitumen (mostly gravel roads, a bit of single track) but are neither 'fast' or 'slow' on the bitumen. That said, I am considering when they will be due to be replaced trying Continental Race King ProTection tyres...
