    You're no mate of mine, Karen.

    Dutch Police not messing about.

    I live in Canada, not the US. The joke had nothing to do with people getting shot and if you can't see that you're a Lefty idiot.

    Perhaps you can get off your moral high horse and realize, if possible, that what I posted was meant to be humours. Just by chance, is your first name Karen?

    Dutch police dispatcher: Armed burglary in progress near you-respond immediately Dutch police officer doing ebike testing: Can't attend right now, as I have an ebike on my testing machine and I think the owner has 50 Watts more than he should have. Dutch police dispatcher: but there's been...

    Good Stuff You Bought

    That means I could mount this rack on my carbon road bike, aluminum road bike (QR axle), e-gravel bike, with 2cm of rear suspension travel, and my full suspension mountain bike. 👍 The high price is easier to stomach if the rack can be used on all four bikes.

    Good Stuff You Bought

    @Pairie Dog, I didn't think it was possible to mount the TF rack on a full suspension bike.

    Good Stuff You Bought

    Yesterday, I spend some time on the Tailfin website configuring a setup for two bikes. One has a thru axle and the other has a QR. I haven't gone through with the purchase yet, because I'm still trying to justify the high price. The alloy version (rack & bag), with a thru axle and QR axle comes...

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    I've been riding with bone conductor headphones for almost three years and I can tell you that above 18-20mph they're near useless. The wind noise pretty much cancels out the music, or what ever else you're listening to.

    Wireless Earbuds for cycling

    I recently bought a pair of Oladance OWS Pro buds, when they went on sale. These buds are different, in that the speaker sits outside the ear and the battery wraps around the top of the ear. They're the best sounding buds I've tried, with one major downfall-the buttons on the bud are very hard...

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    I'd be really curious to see what the rear dropouts for the motor's spindles look like. I can't imagine they would be carbon. The torque from the motor would surely round the drop out ends in short order. Steel inserts, maybe?

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    That's a good question. Since the bike comes with a small internal battery an extender battery would be nice to have on longer rides. I've watched a couple of short videos on this bike, but since the bike is so new there isn't much on youtube yet.

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    Good point about the numbers. Just for the heck of it I compared some dimensions between a Specialized Creo (52cm) and the Ride1Up (50cm) Dimensions 52cm Creo 50cm Ride1Up Stack 578mm 573mm Top Tube length 540mm...

    Going out of business VS slowly closing......same thing, same results, just takes longer, and this has been a long time coming.

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    I'm 5'7" and usually ride a 52 or 54cm framed bike. For me a 56cm frame would be too big and a 50cm would be too small. :(

    New Carbon Fiber Bike from Ride1up

    As I mentioned in a previous post, I wish this bike was offered in more sizes. A 54cm frame (medium) would be a great addition.

    I got my Hydra!!

    My size small framed Hydra, with the Kindernay hub, weighed 66 pounds, which was the exact same weight as my UC Pro, with carbon wheels.

    WW Still In Business?

    I wonder how many people who placed a deposit will be left 'holding the bag'. Their website is still up.
