Another potentially costly issue with phone-based navigation Mounting a phone with high-end image-stabilized cameras (with vibration-sensitive mechanical parts inside) on your bars can cause permanent loss of camera focus. Apple has issued warnings about high-end iPhones on both bicycle and...

Interested to see how Rivian's experiment turns out. Vaguely recall some ideas worth trying in the video.

You Brits can be so backward sometimes! Here in the US, we prevent that with edible cooking rivets. ;^}

It does indeed. But I'd also have to get divorced to put some of those new thoughts into action. Oh wait, the lawyers would end up with all the bike money anyway. Never mind. ;^} Congrats! Wishing you lots of fun on your Creo and a quick return to your pre-chemo self.

Let's try it with a Sp☆cialized Creo and Trek Madone mention.

Posted this earlier today: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/my-dream-bike-got-stolen-lessons-next.58804/post-701140 When I hit [Post thread], I'd mentioned 2 different Velotric ebikes WITHOUT linking them. Three mentions total. No links anywhere in post. Forum software added the...

Does the Discover 2 have SensorSwap? Great feature. The OP wants cadence-sensing, but there are times and places for both kinds of assist. Why stick yourself with just one? My wife's Breeze 1 has SensorSwap. She generally prefers torque-sensing. But her arthritic sacroiliac joints limit her...

Part of me feels like I ought to thank you. ;^}

Impressive result! I bet the accuracy had a lot to do with a skilled prompt on your part. What AI site or app did you use? I might want to create an image of me winning the Tour de France on Pogi's yellow Colnago with a superhero physique under my yellow jersey with Mount Ventoux and a million...

Sorry, can't understand the language. If he's saying that he can charge that particular phone with the display in question, then the right cable might be all you need. But do all phones have the same minimum charging current?

Are you sure that the dislay's USB port provides an adequate charging current? If not, no cable will help you. Example: My commuter ebike's display and battery both have USB-A charging ports putting out 0.5A and 1.2A, respectively. The 1.2A port will charge my Samsung Note20 phone, albeit...

Ads for Charlie’s Electric Bike of Encinitas, CA used to be a common sight on the EBR pages served to me. Accidently clicked on one recently and got a very sad notice, quoted verbatim below. The upshot: Illegal e-motorcycles sold as "ebikes" are driving legal ebikes out of this market. This...

Thanks! Wow, they did a lot for £547. And I thought the 8.5% tax around here was bad!

Sorry, can't see the total. My mechanic estimated $600-700 parts and labor for similar components. Then he talked me out of it on both performance and maintenance cost grounds.

Follow-up: Fidlock's been flawless for 3 months now. Very secure, like the way the bottle looks (see above) and how it dispenses liquids. Would buy again. And the whole reason I tried it has worked out perfectly: The low-profile mount lets my Thule rack's lateral restraint arm clamp the...

Sad to see this old Huffy Good Vibrations cruiser getting junked. Nothing obviously wrong with it. Single-speed, coaster brake. 1st thought: Could be a really fun beach rider. 2nd thought: Not sure I could pedal it back up the hill to our neighborhood with that gear ratio. 3rd thought: Nowhere...

Putting up with all that fuss for just one treat?? That dog needs to raise his rates! My dog would charge 10 treats just for the pink headband.

Thanks, very useful info! I know next to nothing about hydraulic brakes. Yes, the front brake had to be bled both times it went soft before. Interesting. I did fall once (with a very soft landing for both bike and rider), but don't recall the relative timing. Otherwise, the bike's been upright...

More about that upgrade, please! Total cost parts and labor? Based on my mechanic's less than glowing assessment of the SL 1's stock brakes, that could well be my long-term solution.

I don't understand it, either. But I believe my mechanic when he says no leaks were detected on previous visits. He's generally pretty thorough. Not exactly. The pads were worn in every case, and the rears unevenly, but no pads were ever worn beyond service limits. My mechanic, who routinely...
