For straight bees wax, the wax temp has to be just above solidifying temp to prevent voids and do a slow pour. And heating temp is supposed to be non too excessive or it messes up the wax somehow (not my experience, just what Ive read). After it’s all melted I let it cool to 146f and start...

When I first purchased my vado and como about the same time I changed the rotors out for 200mm units. One of the best upgrades along with changing the 48t ring out for the 36t. Thanks for the detailed report. How many miles total?

Those little tires give the sensation of power, and require the larger front chainring to compensate.

You ever ride a ubco? I thought about one of those if I could get away with not having to register or insure it. Maybe put some pseudo pedals on it:) Those R&M's are nice but pricey. They're like the bmw. In the real world stuff happens and in my world there better be a dealer around to...

I bought a milwaukee cordless tire inflator. Pretty sweet. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2848-20

This guy liked the Tern and Globe which were real close on his metrics and eventually picked the Tern. Goat watching is a bonus. I'll have to look at the new Tern. I like the Globe being torque sensing and having a local dealer. I may have to do some studded tires sometime just for the...

Would this apply?

I know, figured you'd be along, thought about going direct but thought I'd throw this to the wind. I thought you liked the Tern. Thanks for the other info. I had to make a cat food run yesterday. We had pretty good snow and most of the walks were clear but there were some places that could...

The best thing for me about where I live, Lawrence, KS, is the bike infrastructure, and the close proximity of most anything for shopping. The 8' wide bike lanes are many, and it is just about completed to surround the entire city. For a quick map of bike lanes, I go to realtor.com and look...

Be interesting to try a front loader. I've had the panniers on the front wheel loaded and didn't like the handling.

Good point on the theft and not springing for the high dollar bikes. I am sometimes surprised how much two grocery sacks can carry, my panniers fit them perfectly. With the vado and como, I do a lot of pedaling without assist with minimal drag from the drivetrain, don't suspect I'd get that...

That's kind of what I decided. Lots of options to choose from, since I have a well oiled Vado and Como to choose from. Thought others may like to express their experiences with the cargo bikes. For most of '23 I used either the ebike or motorcycle to fetch errands and groceries around town...

What's the hot ticket in the cargo bike arena nowadays? Things must have evolved enough with enough inventory some have probably ridden more than one brand/type, what impressed you or which did you prefer? Lets say you want to carry a 40# bag of bird seed. Cargo to the front or rear, doesn't...

I saw somewhere the ships that transport 'stuff' across the oceans spew much more stuff into the atmosphere than vehicles ever will. Maybe targeting the wrong avenue.

Thought it was a no go when the dia was different. Good for your resourcefulness. Another reason to keep the tools, never sell the tools!

Funny how cannabis separates the brain neurons and the person becomes unemotional. Whereas psychedelic mushrooms rewire the neurons for enhanced brain activity. I'd vote for the shrooms.

I just watched a vid on that yesterday. Looks pretty impressive. Makes my 3 or 4 yr old Como and Vado5 look like antiques already.

I did a 50 mile wipe down of my chain after the EP gear oil application to get an idea of how much stuff it was attracting. Didn't notice any real accumulation of dirt though I suppose there was some. I think the thing to do is wipe it down after the application to remove any extra that...

Thanks for that info. Seems mine creak off and on. Just did the first round town 23 miler on the Vado equipped with the B67. No ass issues and I wear cargo pants. Gotta love that seat:)

I'd find a bike shop that has the tools. I see Park Tool has the die for $290 and the rest of the stuff to do it with probably. Park tool might have a list of places that could do it or they may be able to.
