Bummer. Let us know what you find out.

Well, you know, Starlink is using ion-drive propulsion for its satellites. So, maybe someday? (I’m just joking guys, but I do hope battery tech grows maybe an order or magnitude distance/weight in the near future.)

Holy crap, @Catalyzt !!! I hope you heal up quickly and get back doing the things you like to do ahead of schedule!

😉 Seriously, forgetting track experiences, I had the S2000 for over 15 years, and I’ve had Miatas for about 20… The S2000 was always more “me,” Gionni! Nice, jug!

Hey, Harry. I owned a Honda S2000 for many years and tracked and autocrossed it. What a load of fun. I think 140HP would be on the low side for really flinging a car around, but I’m sure it depends on the track!!! These days I own a Miata, but that hasn’t seen a track. It’s not really...

Hi, @Explorer-1 . The RCS that Velowave had listed back at the start of Sept. was not the latest model. They either sold it or wrote it off during Labor Day weekend since, as you say, the RCS (and the other Juiced bikes) are not on their site anymore.

I suppose that depends a lot on your location, 6. I can see this being useful for some planning (eventually), based on BlackHand’s post above.

That’ll surely be exciting to the US-based members.

Ah, so, a little more information which explains the situation… Basically, this map layer is taking data from a new “source” that doesn’t appear to have anything to do with RWGPS itself. Great! But, not useful until it matures. Don’t see your local trails? You can edit and add trails to the...

I think it’s awesome. Whatever gets people on bikes. The good/known fatty manufacturers (Lectric, Aventon, Velotric, etc.) have great products in this space. As a 26” fatty rider, I get that 1) it’s harder for the makers to build quality into 26” package, and 2) 26” fatties like mine are a...

Well, I’m not seeing much either when I use just MTB layer in the places where I ride. I think Jeremy is right that it’s a work in progress. I know that by comparison the unpaved layer shows a lot. And, of course, when you turn on the global heatmap you get a LOT of (potentially) good stuff...

Very clever. My only hesitation is — and I know nothing about the Gorix stuff — crappy metals will fatigue very fast when put in contact with a (good) seat post clamp. The rails in a junky saddle that I bought deteriorated in a couple of months because of that.

Right. I only meant that I don’t know what it is because I haven’t used it yet, Jeremy. ‘zackly! Good to know. I haven’t run into any of that here in central MA, but I get it.

Sorry. “monoshock fork” see, https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/what-is-this-on-my-steerer-tube.58058/#post-688875

I use the unpaved cycling map overlay all the time when I’m riding my trails, Jeremy. Very useful. Yeah, sorry. I don’t know what this “MTB trail layer” is. Hope it’s of some use (sounds like possibly not). As mentioned, I haven’t used RWGPS for any trip planning, though I know some of you...

Hey, NV... I’m not sure if there are too many inverted forks for fatties. I wonder if there’s a monotube fat-tire fork and/or how expensive it would be. I don’t recall seeing anything. Good luck.

Hi gang, This new RideWithGPS trip planning feature might be of some use. It’s available for all users. I know some/many of you use RWGPS. FYI, I haven’t tried it yet as I haven’t done any planning with RWGPS. Their map overlays have been very useful for me for my local riding.

Thanks, gang! Yup, for the record I’m a retired guy who used to love to mountain bike when I was younger. About 15 years ago I gave riding up almost entirely because I could not get comfortable anymore on my mountain bike. What you said, @teskow , is pretty much how I feel about the RCS. I...

Bought Fättie about 6 months before Juiced went under in 2024… Is anyone (else) still putting miles on their RipCurrent S? I just rolled over 3000mi today, which is not bad for a year and a half, with about 2 months of downtime from needing to get parts, etc. Due to failures, I’ve had to...

Couple of shots of Fättie preening, plus look at the odometer (lower right) in the last picture. Yow! Not bad for a year and a half (and a couple of months of downtime)...
