Try the Shimano T8000 pedals. A little pricey, but they are cutaway on the corners (designed for touring) and I have descended with them at speed and cornered without issues. Really like them so far and the platform side has good grip with the screws.

Well I hate to be the negative one but I took my bike into the shop for a squeak and they are in the process of warranty replacing the motor. I'll update here with details once I get it back.

do you have any data on weight, road surface, tire print? would be interesting to see some more factors integrated. Paris Roubaix comes to mind (eg tire deflection on uneven surfaces)

just wanted to say congrats on the progress on all fronts! it was entertaining to read everything and see a complete turnaround. unfortunately parts fail at this stage of the game but it sounds like Vintage is taking care of that. oh also, scars are badges of honors!

This is where I'm guessing that the sensor is picked up on most rotations, but not all rotations. If it's picked up on less rotations, then the motor is being tricked into thinking it's going slower than it actually is. If the sensor is too far, it errors out.

Dang! Just a little too early for the battery... Here is a commercial from the era: youtube video

Why does this work? Is the sensor then picked up every 2nd revolution or something of the sort? If so your distance would be off.

wow, you'd think they would check the drivetrain first? that was simple enough! glad it got sorted!

Did they specify what the issue with the motor is? Not bad!

I've had this with my roade+ 1 for at least 500+ miles. I just took off both crank arms, greased them, and bolted them back on. It hasn't gone away. The bike shop did the same previously. I'm wondering if it's a bearing. It will click 1x every revolution.

would you be more interested in crowdfunding if there were more protections for the funder in place? in your case mentioned, there could be a key man clause on the IGG platform. I think these platforms dont exist to give people a ROI like the stockmarket could. I think people want to get a...

And logistics is everything. So that's the theme I see play out over and over on crowdfunding. For the first product, the campaign struggles time and time again with delivering. Your recourse with a LBS is obviously greater if they fail to deliver. It also still holds true with a US based...

I saw the Carbo and thought it looked interesting. Then I found another campaign and it looked like the Sonos. (forget the exact name). For me, it's too risky to be out $1k+ because remember you are not shopping, you are funding the creator. I'm fine with the smaller, $100 projects though.

updates: 3,342 miles as of today. @3,113 mi. i flatted because of a heavy staple in the rear tire. not too long after, i got another flat because of a pothole that pinch flatted the tube. that one may have been my fault because i was using smaller tubes (25c-28c sizing) on 38c tires. the...

I don't think most people knowingly buy counterfeit helmets the way a person knowingly buys a counterfeit Louis Vuitton bag. I think they make their way into consumer hands unwittingly via eBay etc.

That's excellent! If what you linked is still up-to-date, Alabama, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia have a ways to go...You can be a cyclist there, declared to be 1% at fault, and receive NO recovery for damages.

I got from a ~10 year old kid I rode by: Wow cool that's an electric bike! or something to that effect. Never expected that.

I have a hefty lock-but it's just that, hefty! It must weigh 20+ lbs. I forgot the links type but it is a beast. The insurance is intriguing. How much is your policy/what's your coverage?

I edited the thread to clarify I'm talking about keeping the bike secure. These are all great tips riding safely though! In CA they have a 3ft rule, and I think drivers have become more aware of it since it has been instated...I've drafted a car before and got into an accident (they turned...

Since I have started to use my e-bike for more general use (eg runs to grocery store) to see if I can eliminate the truck, I've become more concerned with security. I just backed this project: Boomerang V.2 Anyone else using their bike as a primary vehicle? Any tips/tricks to keeping their bike...
