Oh, I’m so glad to read this, Catalyzt! Take it easy, and don’t push yourself too hard!

Oh, hey, IJ, the cabling is relatively easy and yeah there’s the tie-wraps, but that’s certainly not all… It’s a bunch of other stuff, including extra locking washers and stuff to keep the wheel from moving in the dropouts that makes it challenging to do. At least on my bike (which was DTC).

You must have them up your way, JG, right?

They’re pretty much danger to the van too, Art! :)

Damn, Charge… Poor Dan sounds like he gets himself in a lot of trouble!

I’m basically smack-dab in the middle of the state, Art. Moose have been sighted in my area, but I’ve never seen one in the wild.

Hi gang. I think I’ve gleaned what I can from these posts, but can one of you confirm/deny my new understanding of what you mean by “one-piece cockpit?” I think what you guys are saying is that the bar stem and the handlebar itself are all “one piece.” Is that the entirety of the bicycle...

Quite fond of the tires that came stock on Fättie (RST, not foldable). Over 3300 miles on the rear and only now needing replacement. I can’t find these for sale, even though they were OEM’d by Juiced when I bought my bike. I’m simply not having all that white lettering on the ones I can...

yeah, nights around here in New England have been similar. It’s been all over the place in September. I suspect October will be colder.

September’s been an outstanding month to be riding around here in central MA. The weather has been unbelievable. This has been my most-traveled month this year at over 310 miles and over 24 hours of seat time. I’m a happy camper, and so is my tush with my recent Selle SMP TRK saddle! More...

I love the skeleton man, Mule… I’ve seen a bunch of those around town this year. One guy has a skeleton dog next to the big dude, and it’s pretty funny!

Greetings from the trail… Finally got pix uploaded. Another beautiful day!: Did another 35 miler today! :)

FYI, guys, I hear that Apple’s ear buds (AirPods) now support some hearing-aid type noise cancellation in a pass-thru mode which I think is supposed to highlight ambient conversation, etc.. One of my friends told me it’s not very good, but maybe it’ll get better. Check out “transparency mode”...

Be careful, Slap!

Charge, I’ve been wondering about the 2-speed GVT Bafang hub motor since we started discussing it here: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/bafang-gvt-internal-gearing.57346/ What I really want to see, if it ever becomes possible, is the 5-speed GVT integrated with the motor. That...

I think my ideas of conversions are tainted by the beautiful work that I see @PedalUma and others do here on the site. I do imagine there’s a lot of dangerous junk out there. Hehehehe… Exactly.

Amen, brother. To be fair, there is a “Max” version of this bike that comes with speeds, but I take it that’s not how folks ride the standard version. Yup, I have to believe that’s what’s going on. Even switching PAS levels must be a very un-bike-y experience. To be fair, I was never a...

Oy. That banning from public transportation is a sad state of affairs. AUShiker, it’s certainly a weird turn that they’re only banning conversions. Are there some conversion kits that have statistically been more problematical (fire-wise) than just cheapo / crappy ebikes?

Holy moly, Chris. Wow. Talk about supply and demand!!!

OK, gang. What’s the deal here? I was looking at the RadRunner (not the “Max”) and it’s a single-speed hub drive. I realize this is supposed to be a cargo bike, but I don’t really understand how this would work in practice. It’s a bike, after all. Maybe my thinking is wrong. Is the motor...
