My friend's wife covers the car so the cats don't scratch it when climbing on it. Oh, I just remembered about one morning when there were horrible mechanical sounds, followed shortly by horrific human screams. A cat sleep inside the engine compartment of a car for warmth. Then the owner...

Most modern and popular bikes in stores today with hub-drives allow for either. It is just a matter of programing the menu: Torque sensor, Enable/Disable. You could have done that on the Level 2 and flipped the stem. Total time 3.35 minutes. Done.

If you are not getting power to the display, nothing else will work.

With those ones when you very first time turn it on it says 'receiving', then turns off. That is the controller synchronizing with the display, programing it to recognize each other. When you make a programing change with the display and hit Save, it says 'Sending', and turns off. So yes the...

There is something lost in translation. For example, Trek calls displays Controllers. But we all know a controller is the motherboard and junction box inside the motor and not on the handlebar.

@stompandgo, here is the black box. I can adjust the degrees of angle of kick-in and feel of the torque sensor millivolts, and everything, like milliseconds of overrun for smoothness. Download to expertly critically review me if I am F.O.Shite. You can't just do that on other bikes. Specialized...

Update: I dropped-off the bike to my friend's garage with the conspiratorial help of his wife, a H.S. languages teacher Jennifer. He is an Electrician. We covered it in a blanket for him to discover on his own. A whippy green dropbar skinny tire gravel bike is now effing bad-azz. I had it to 28...

I finished this one today. My friend's wife and I hid it under a blanket in my friend's garage. He does not know about it yet and will get curious to peek under the blanket. I took a dropbar bike and made it upright and gave it beefy tires. It has a DM02 motor and Shimano GRX gravel specific...

These cyclists do not have any helmets.

Here are gravity maps of earth. It does matter where you weigh a bike. More importantly it is the altitude of say a velodrome that effects speed. Because of air density. This map is really cool and shows where to buy gold and where to sell it. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11234/

There is a one legged duck. Because I ate his right one this morning. I just made a bike for a friend without him knowing. Along with his wife we will put it in his garage today under a blanket for him to discover. I know it is national hotdog day but I am having a steak later.

Is that a pickle in a hotdog bun, with chilies, and fries?

Meatball soup, albondigas.

Are you Hawaiian? I am partially related to 'John Frum' by a former marriage and shared kids and grandchildren. His real name was John Martin. He kicked off the cargo cults by building advanced runways in the south pacific.

The French mushroom/herb soup has brae melting in the bottom for a pre-ride breakfast.

Onion soup and toast. The mocha has chocolate bean nubs and its toped with sea salt and cinnamon.

Yes, use a normal 8-speed chain. And use the standard 10mm offset 42-t steel DM02 chainring to bring in the chain-line in to hit first gear. I am 35 miles north of the Golden Gate. Look me up on Maps and I can help you to order parts and give individual support before, during, and after. The...

This is the place to post your food porn before or after a bike ride.

I used a tubing pipe cutter to shorten a bar by 30mm per end. It is much better than a hacksaw: Less pain, straight, fast. The ends will need chamfering before fitting end grips. They are like $7 at Harbor Freight. If I use it six times it is worth it. It could last for 100 bikes. I will just...

With investing, in my opinion, in a DM02 it is worth it for a major drive train upgrade. The left shifter will go anyway. I would look into a Box 4, 8, 11-42. The 8-speed is wide and robust. It has a powerful clutch on the derailleur and you will be down to 1:1 for huge climbs. A quality 48V...
