    Park Tool chain lube

    Thanks but I'm not that dedicated to email companies and experts. I have found what works extremely well for me, I shared it and am getting tired of your in depth take downs on everything I post about it. You don't have to try it, in fact I'm sure you never will which is ok with me. If you find...

    Park Tool chain lube

    The "evidence" is in how long my chains are lasting and actually seeing the wax lube seal the wet lube to the chain. Instead of constantly claiming it won't work, maybe you should try it? The company making Mobil 1 says(or used to say) you can go 10,000mi. between oil changes. Are you going to...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I'm not starting with a perfectly clean chain every time I lube. If I did, I'd probably only use wax.

    Park Tool chain lube

    IMPOSSIBLE to find truly evidence based "which is better" Anecdotal is all we have. What works for one, won't necessarily work for others.

    Park Tool chain lube

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    I'm not posting a pic of my chain checker to only be accused of using it wrong or some other silliness. I kept buying chain checkers because none of them showed any wear. I discovered it's not the checkers. My lube regimen actually works. I started this thread with good intentions, but YOU are...

    Magic (not real magic) chain lube for outstanding lasting performance and virtually no wear

    FWIW, I was accused of using chain checkers that can't measure anything less than .5 of wear.. Not true, I actually have FOUR chain checkers now, one of which will measure the slightest bit of wear. I'm not on here to tell anyone what to do. Just sharing what works well for me. Another thing...

    Stupid E-bike games?

    My bike has the bafang ultra motor and no speed restriction. I can ride it at 35mph on the flats on throttle so I pass regular bikes and yell "get an ebike! when I pass them"

    Odd comment about my ebike

    Actually, the people from Canoe magazine years ago published an article where their crew specifically paddled one of these creeks where private fishing clubs thought they owned the river.After the boaters were harassed from the shore the state police were waiting for them at the take out...

    Odd comment about my ebike

    I've paddled creeks where fishing clubs who think they own the river have strung wire across the river at neck level. You can argue with them until you are blue in the face that they don't own the river and a navigable river may be used by anyone but they think it's theirs.

    Yamaha Cross RC. Wrong bike for me.

    My bike has the bafang ultra motor. I couldn't be happier with it. 1,000 watts of power and a throttle that works with or without pedaling. My 1st ebike had a 250 watt Yamaha mid drive and from the day I bought it, I wished it had more power. I no longer wish for more power with the bafang...

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    I had a huge moth enter my helmet while night riding on the highway on my motorcycle. I about crashed as the powder from its wings flapping around nearly blinded me. I was weaving all over the place and wouldn't you know, blue lights came on behind me. I got the bike to the shoulder of the...
