Ok, some say high pressure, some say low, in that case I'd say we can possibly dismiss pressure, or that tire pressure's effect varies on what's being thrown. And @K PierreR that "sounds like gunshots" is something I encountered on some heavier/larger crushed stone. I thought I was popping the...

I knew they directed down and back, but I just wasn't expecting so much of the travel to be back so far that I'd slide off the front of the seat when it compresses and then get thrown clear off when it releases. I think more so it's that they're designed for "crotch rocket" riders, which I'm...

Apologies for replying to other people's posts in the thread. How dare anyone ever do that. Thanks for singling me out too, it speaks volumes about who you are. Sardonic wit aside, maybe we could get the mods to do a thread split?

You might want to research before flapping your trap. You can start with Terminiello vs. Chicago, 1949 and work your way up from there. The first amendment rights of public gathering, free speech, and so forth have been tested in the courts many times. Both for and against. The general consensus...

Not "all". Many times the US supreme court has ruled that hate speech isn't protected speech. It fails the metric common to most things people complain "But my rights" where you do not actually have the right to harm or even endanger others. You see it with 'muricans all the time pissing and...

If the video @Taylor57 posted (thanks for that) has it mounted the correct way, then no I didn't have it on backwards. And you can clearly see it deflects the force backwards instead of down in said video, making it -- for me at least -- near useless for what a suspension seat is for. Again I've...

It was actually worse with the Kenda Juggernauts it came with, so there is likely something to that. Funny these cheap "Wanda" white-walls actually seem to be nicer than the Kenda's.

I've been considering implementing something similar, if for no other reason that in mud or wet ride the front fender doesn't come down far enough. I've added an aftermarket skid plate to protect where the wires come out the bottom of the frame, probably time to address the fender length too...

Something I've noticed on my Aventure is that when I'm on ... less well prepared paths, if I go over anything even remotely resembling a branch -- even little twigs -- they get hoovered up by the front tire and whipped into my legs, the drive train, etc. It's like they are lifted up and...

Makes sense. Odds of hitting higher, chance of damage lower. Wonder if why -- for me -- 26x2.25 seemed to always get flats more often. Large enough to increase the odds, sufficient pressure to make hitting things go worse.

I agree it should be about the same per mile for the same style tire, but that's another subject people ignore. If you go from a normal road tire to a fat tire bike for example, you're going to be at higher risk of puncture just because you've got a bigger contact patch to hoover up debris...

Then why did the op and most of the industry claim it as such? That's what the nose is for. Not if it costs more, has a more limited audience, and requires different economies of scale. I think you missed my point entirely in that whilst I was pissing on the crotch rocket riding position, I...

Because of course how dare someone reply to "It's for everyone" with "It's not for everyone?" There are plenty of legitimate reasons to think that this "ride leaning forward" isn't for everyone, and in fact might be for many riders the opposite of good ergonomics. Made up nonsensical BS like...

Don't understand how more material attached to the rider reduces "chafing", particularly given the materials. Seems to cause the exact opposite. Common sense -- that increasingly rare superpower -- would make one think it should be the opposite as well. Slippy seat + loose fitting clothing ==...

Whilst I've only been e-biking for a year and a half and only owned two (well, three. First two were same make/model and were returned for controllers dying in first week) I have ridden regular bicycles for 40+ years and I really have to call bullshit on that... to a degree. Because personally...

Good gravy that product name. Do companies not even think about what they name things anymore. I mean does it refuse to work so you have to throw it away as refuse? Ranks up there with my Aventon Aventure... where aventure means to non-criminally cause someone else's death. Which damned near...

Side note, thank you Amazon for no questions asked return, and for using Kohls as a dropoff point so I don't have to worry about shipping. Back in box, label printed, dropping it off when they open up in 4 hours. Amazon might be a dirtbag company run by a dirtbag, but their priority on customer...

Tell me, are all the ones with these fancy mechanisms so terrifying to ride? I just tried it for a 4 mile ride, was going to be 20 but I turned around because for me it's utterly and completely unsafe. It felt like it was going to throw me off the bike within the first 50 yards, and I went down...

Because Christmas only knows what the battery management board inside the pack is expecting for the data protocol on the sense wire. Setting ground or hot doesn't seem to be an override, and it doesn't seem compatible with other 3 wire chargers. I've connected my oscilloscope and what I'm...

I went 11:36 and that's two more teeth than the stock derailleur is meant to handle, thus my having to wrench down all the way on the b-screw. To go up to 42 you'll either need a longer derailleur, or a derailleur hanger extension to lower it to make room for the larger cogset. I'm probably...
