    There is an electric car show this weekend at a sports arena nearby. A small section with e=bikes attracted me so I went there by foot as it is only 2km away. There was a ”museum stand” and a 2000 Aprilia Enjoy City and 1999 Honda Racoon was on display.

    The story of a 75-year-old bicycle given new electrified life

    Today I visited a show for electric cars that also included a small section for e-bikes. There was a stand called Museum where they had a couple of older e-bikes on display. I’ll give you the story of one of the bikes here and post pictures of the other bikes in another thread. (maybe the thread...

    So it may be. The increased percentage of patients in severe condition may very well indicate that death rate will increase.

    Do ebikes need more than 5 speeds?

    I’m very fond of the SLX/XT 11-speed shifting and cassette on my Vado. I generally use 9 gears, 2 - 10, and I like that the gear ratios are close. Using the gears help me keep a cadence I like and I can also ride in Ecomode for 90% of my riding. @Cyklefanatic Maybe you should get a 48 tooth...

    Math quiz; Who is right?

    120 I was taught that there is an order of operations and I thought that was still the rule. Strange answer from a math PhD. Age? Why not use parentheses? That’s an easy way to show how the problem is meant to be solved.

    Steamroller ( ångvält in Swedish) is a word I still use. They were not steam powered when I was a little boy but steamroller as a ”concept” was at use at that time.

    Looking for bike mini-pump

    The Lezyne Micro Floor HV has a long hose that should make it easier to use and user experience is always valable. There is a hose on the Topeak I bought but not as long as the Lezyne hose. I had no problem though with my Topeak.

    Looking for bike mini-pump

    There are a few mini pumps that are called HV (high volume) but the sellers aren’t willing to talk about volume. I bought a Topeak Turbo Morph Digital. It has a volume of 102cc according to the web site and at 13.8” it is a little longer than some other minipumps. The volume has to be kept...

    Interesting Video on Tire Pressure

    I’m confused. Listening to what’s said in the video in first post I learn that a lower tire pressure is often giving a lower rolling resistance and wider is better too. The lab test of different sized Marathons at different tire pressures performed by bicyclerollingresistance.com does not give...

    Do you break spokes?

    That’s depressing. Both frame crack and spoke failure. I had spoke worries in 2018 when I had my first Vado as I had read about several owners with broken spokes and my suspicion ( non engineer) was that 28 spokes was not enough. Didn’t have any spoke problems during the 2000 miles I rode the...
