Probably just a two part epoxy would work fine.

Mcmaster carr has a pretty good selection of friction material. Still nothing thin enough, only 1/8” thickness, which may work on some of the bikes, just have to investigate. Something like jb weld and a vise I would think would suffice to hold the material. Probably want an adhesive that...

I can find material down to 1/8" thick, just can't find anything thinner. Need to go a little thinner.

A person can buy material for thicker brake pads, I have yet to see any thin enough for the bike pads. Somebody is making a killing on these things. I am coming up on needing a set. Anybody find any thin enough for our pads?

Wow. Couldn't have timed that one right. Looks like lights added, little bit cheaper, different named components and little bit bigger battery. https://surlybikes.com/products/skid-loader-illegal-smile-green

I emailed them and asked about the skid loader, they said there should be some news in a few days. Maybe they are between shipments. The sale price of the skid loader is sure appealing, only thing left though is the M. As long as the Big Easy is I bet there is some spring to the frame...

I was looking at the Surly skid steer but can't find any in the L size. Like the big easy but it costs a bit more. How you liking the Big Easy so far?

I see guys with knee replacement surgery and think the cost of bicycling is a small price to pay to avoid that path. Riding a bike does wonders for my knees, walking is good for the mind but does nothing for my knees.

I'm in the same boat. Height, shoes, waist, you name it, always right in the middle. I was thinking the other day, if I get another bike, I'll make sure not to go big. I have a couple cane creek suspension seat posts that I can't use, they articulate to the back and down and it is hard on my...

You get what you put your attention on. Just the universe trying to help a guy out.

My experience, from the factory spokes can be all over the place on tension. Motorcycles and bicycles both, just takes too much time to properly set them up. If they haven't been checked within the first few hundred to 600 miles you are missing the boat.

So you couldn't unseat the bead off the rim? Maybe a pair of channel locks, squeeze the tire together getting as close to the bead as possible. Never had that problem. Set it out in the sun. Run over it with something bigger:)

Maybe applies to bicycle tire changes, on motorcycle tire changes, the rim has a channel in the middle that is smaller in diameter than the outer rim portion. The tire beads have to be in this channel to get the tire bead over the rim on the install and removal. So the portion that is 180...

Think I have a couple of those crankbrothers out there. What I found, is when the o.d. of the spindle the pedal rotates on is larger than the rest of the platform, the foot has a tendency to go to sleep, from that axle forward. Don't think I have any spiked pedals in use anymore, just went...

That’s the pedals I use. Looks like standard issue Spesh. And really enjoying the shoe without heels.

I just bought and am using a pair of Jim Green African Barefoot Trooper boots to ride in. Really comfy and breath well. https://jimgreenfootwear.com/store/african-ranger-barefoot-boot-fudge/

Looked back at the point I changed the chain out on the como and started using gear oil for the chain lube for a reference, as I was curious how this would pan out. 980 miles when i changed it out, right now 2700 miles of around town riding, hauling groceries lot of the time. I'm easy on...

Tube it baby. Good tube. Bad tube leak air.

You have the big 200mm rotors on? I've found them to work very well.

That's how I have my Vado and Como set up. Don't do the races though. Bike calculator sure has changed, haven't been to the website for a while. I'd suggest using gear oil for the chain. I have been doing that for a while and show no wear on the chain or gears. When it gets dirty I just...
