    Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

    @BurroBabe, I have a couple of things in common with your Donkey that others may not fully appreciate. Stopping must match going. A 180 disc is better than a 160mm disc at stopping. It's about leverage and torque. A properly set-up and adjusted 700c rim brake is much better, in most conditions...

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    Okay, obviously I am joking. But it would be fun to plant bikes around town with hidden cameras and to have them set-up with glitter bombs. So the thief is covered. It could also release a supper stink that is engineered with only one special antidote, so it lasts for days. An accelerometer...

    new discbrakes for Spesh

    So when you use your bike key that is what cocks the hammer? At least hemorrhoids would no longer be a problem! Three cell mates were discussing their specialties. The guy without an A55 said, I was a bike thief.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    When loosing my wife, my kids, my savings, my house and while being attacked from every angle in the divorce I did not want and would not fight. She said I was being erratic. How does a rabbit run when it is being chased by dogs?

    What brake pads do I buy???

    @Chazmo, The bike I am working on has O-rings. Look for them and remove them. The screws that hold on the calipers often have a stack of washers and the mounting block. That is all preassembled before it goes to the factory. And it is secured by little O-rings so everything does not fall apart...

    What brake pads do I buy???

    I am about to replace some pads. The first thing I did, just now its to wash the area first and rinse it well.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    No one needs to follow me. Yes, actually I do clean them, but only as part of washing a bike, not as a special chain thing when giving a bike a rinse. My clients like that it is not petroleum because they are a bunch of Nor. Cal. hippies. One bike that came in yesterday is from Berkeley. If I...

    Recommend me handlebars with back sweep

    That is only while you move it to the new bar. It is humor, so you will forget that it is electric while working on it. I have purchased this handlebar 14 times. I put it on my Vado after trimming an inch from each end.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    The melting point is 160. It can be touched up with Muc-Off dry wax lube. And it totally stays clean. I am doing stuff that has not been done or documented. I do not need to follow a recipe someone else created to move forward. I screw up frequently. That is how I learn.

    best security ideas for ebike

    A $165 helmet was stolen off a bike handlebar, with a $65 light mounted on top. There were a dozen stoned hobos close by. Two weeks later my friend who owns a coffee shop asked me if I wanted a helmet that was left at her place. It was mine. The one they took. I sanitized it. I didn't eat that...

    The chocolate cake is topped with gold leaf. I know it is counter intuitive, but dog meat makes great meatballs, expecially I they are young and still tender.

    I have never ordered one by that name. I was wrong. Ducky does not have an omelet that is sharp cheddar o'gratan.

    If you never had an LGBTQ plus sandwich you should order one at your local deli.

    The one called Ducky is an omelet with steamed spinach and a smoked duck breast. They are all like that sort of thing.

    Try placing your order now. Conditions have changed. Also know your cells and BMS. The case is only what its packed in.

    There is a volcano of melted cheese under the other toppings on those California fries. This is what I eat for breakfast before a ride. The BLT has guac and queso so it is actually an LGBTQ plus sandwich. The queso is local brae that is melted into the free range apple smoke bacon.

    Here is what my town looks like in early December and an order of Mexican Fries. Welcome to the Poutein California! Zoom that.

    I live in the Southwestern part of Sonoma County with easy access to Western Marin. It is all rolling hills to the coast with places such as Tamales Bay and Point Reyes. One of my favorites is to take the single track gravel trails in Putnam Park to Chileno Valley road. We call that ride chili...
