    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    That just proves the point that people are, lazy, apathetic, and obtuse when it comes to issues regarding their own, liberty, freedom, and health. The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw what the American people have become.

    Riese & Müller : Reliability & Support

    Sorry but manufacturer problems are not limited to R+M. I have a bulls bike loaded with issues and all I get from bulls USA is a whole lot of lip service. And sorry to all you who think it's a dealer problem. Who do you think chooses each dealer and location? Who trains the dealers? Who supplies...

    very happy with this bike :)

    Has that bike ever been in the dirt? Or did you just pull it out of your Prius for the photo op?

    true bike security.

    Ah, finally someone with common sense. Although some locks, take somewhat a little more than 30 seconds, I believe no lock made could last more than 90 seconds, in a recent video I watched on this topic, No lock !

    The Terrible Awful Chainguard

    You really are missing the experience of playing with aftermarket chainrings. Turns your ebike into a completely different riding experience. So drop the guard, pulling the crank off a Bosch motor couldn't be simpler, buy some different chainrings, and wheeee, were having fun now !

    The Terrible Awful Chainguard

    Not sure why the chain guard was not one of the first items you removed and discarded from your bike. Bulls guards rattle, and are only held on by several metal tangs and they move somewhat on the crank arms. Really are more of a nuance than anything.

    Why are Brooks Saddles known for comfort?

    "I've used Proofide for years, and I like it. However upon a friend's staunch recommendations, I've tried NikWax on a brand new Brooks B17 Special that I mounted on my Surly ECR. I must admit that I like it much better than Proofide. It sinks into the leather and really looks nice after buffing...

    Why are Brooks Saddles known for comfort?

    Don't want to start a debate here, but some time ago I found a posting where a Brooks owner, always used proofide on his seats. Was convinced by a friend to try Nixwax. He loved the results. One aspect that impressed him was how it never dulled his seat, amongst other positive aspects. He had a...

    Why are Brooks Saddles known for comfort?

    The Brooks saddles truly are beautiful. The exquisite detail, robust materials, hand craftsmanship. All adds up to more than just the ride. I see at least one or two other models in my saddle ownership future .

    large nut on Bosch that holds chain ring on

    No grease, wipe threads, install by hand, tighten while holding opposite side crank, I use a 1/2" ratchet, only because the socket is 1/2" drive, light torque, and that's all there is to it. No reason to get crazy on the torque here. Being aluminum, it's very easy to damage the notches as well...
