I've used small bore spiral wrap in situations like that. It's available in sizes down to .25". It isn't perfect for preventing tugging, but if you apply it 6" or more on each side of the splice, it helps quite a bit. It also offers great chafe and crush protection. You can get a free sample...

It was called the "Emerald Necklace" back when I attended the U of Akron from 67' thru 70'. Perhaps the same time you were at Kent State? The riots occurred just before I left. A terrible terrible time indeed. I was planning a nostalgic ride on the Ohio & Erie Canal Trail this spring. It runs...

Many states have similar programs and I agree, it seems counterproductive to keep e-bikes off MUP's However, in the case of NY, this voucher program is to give low income folks a cheaper form of on road transportation and maybe get a few vehicles off the road.

How about something like this: The outside flange should provide extra protection. About $1.50 US with different sizes available...

That incident, when I was asked to leave, was well over 2 years ago and E-bike popularity has increased since then. Perhaps the park rangers are simply looking the other way now.

Without the battery, you have to look twice to see it's an e-bike. It's a hub drive with 26 x 2.2" tires, but the big down tube mounted battery gives it away.

Apparently, things have changed for the better in 2 years.

Those rubber charge port covers have long since broken off all my batteries. So far, I've been able to find vinyl caps that fit. Yeah, they're easy to loose, but cheap so I just keep a handful in my battery bag.

When I last rode the main Cape Cod Trail in 2023, I was told by a park ranger at the trailhead in Dennis, that e-bikes were not allowed and asked to leave. I rode the Shining Sea and Cape Cod National Seashore trails instead. I've heard similar stories about e-bikes on the Cape Cod Canal MUPs...

Got a break from the heat on Tuesday and was able to do a 42 mile ride on the D&H Trail. It's built on the ROW of the now defunct Jefferson branch of the Erie RR. It runs north past Ramboe & Stillwater Lakes and through Sinkhole Swamp. Made the 1000' climb from Carbondale up to Ararat...

Of course this assumes you don't get run over by a drunk or distracted driver in the process. :rolleyes:

I've learned two things: 1 - E-bikes are great for getting these old bones back in the saddle and to places I was never able to reach before. 2 - They are much heavier than my conventional bikes and more of a pain in the a$$ for these old bones to store & transport.

This brings back many fond memories of when I used to shellfish as a kid. I would ride my bike down Island Beach State Park in NJ. There are several hidden paths that lead from the park road to the bay on the western side of the island. If you know where to look, there are clam beds in shallow...

That means you can't have a TV Dinner!

Lunch on my last ride. :confused:

Understatement!

I've been watching Park Tools new PRS-30LB mechanical lift work stand since it was first introduced back in February. It wasn't widely available until June, and I was lucky enough to grab one before the initial run sold out...

Maybe you could find a used colonoscopy machine somewhere. 😄

Yeah, this would be a winter project for me as well if I hadn't busted that mag wheel.
