This guy liked the Tern and Globe which were real close on his metrics and eventually picked the Tern. Goat watching is a bonus. I'll have to look at the new Tern. I like the Globe being torque sensing and having a local dealer. I may have to do some studded tires sometime just for the...

Would this apply?

I know, figured you'd be along, thought about going direct but thought I'd throw this to the wind. I thought you liked the Tern. Thanks for the other info. I had to make a cat food run yesterday. We had pretty good snow and most of the walks were clear but there were some places that could...

The best thing for me about where I live, Lawrence, KS, is the bike infrastructure, and the close proximity of most anything for shopping. The 8' wide bike lanes are many, and it is just about completed to surround the entire city. For a quick map of bike lanes, I go to realtor.com and look...

Be interesting to try a front loader. I've had the panniers on the front wheel loaded and didn't like the handling.

Good point on the theft and not springing for the high dollar bikes. I am sometimes surprised how much two grocery sacks can carry, my panniers fit them perfectly. With the vado and como, I do a lot of pedaling without assist with minimal drag from the drivetrain, don't suspect I'd get that...

That's kind of what I decided. Lots of options to choose from, since I have a well oiled Vado and Como to choose from. Thought others may like to express their experiences with the cargo bikes. For most of '23 I used either the ebike or motorcycle to fetch errands and groceries around town...

What's the hot ticket in the cargo bike arena nowadays? Things must have evolved enough with enough inventory some have probably ridden more than one brand/type, what impressed you or which did you prefer? Lets say you want to carry a 40# bag of bird seed. Cargo to the front or rear, doesn't...

I saw somewhere the ships that transport 'stuff' across the oceans spew much more stuff into the atmosphere than vehicles ever will. Maybe targeting the wrong avenue.

Thought it was a no go when the dia was different. Good for your resourcefulness. Another reason to keep the tools, never sell the tools!

Funny how cannabis separates the brain neurons and the person becomes unemotional. Whereas psychedelic mushrooms rewire the neurons for enhanced brain activity. I'd vote for the shrooms.

I just watched a vid on that yesterday. Looks pretty impressive. Makes my 3 or 4 yr old Como and Vado5 look like antiques already.

I did a 50 mile wipe down of my chain after the EP gear oil application to get an idea of how much stuff it was attracting. Didn't notice any real accumulation of dirt though I suppose there was some. I think the thing to do is wipe it down after the application to remove any extra that...

Thanks for that info. Seems mine creak off and on. Just did the first round town 23 miler on the Vado equipped with the B67. No ass issues and I wear cargo pants. Gotta love that seat:)

I'd find a bike shop that has the tools. I see Park Tool has the die for $290 and the rest of the stuff to do it with probably. Park tool might have a list of places that could do it or they may be able to.

Last couple days I've ridden/rode/driven the Cattrike Expedition. It's a fun machine. On those long uphill ascents I was looking for the + button on the handlebar. Just have to grit it out:)

Or use the die, put it in a socket, put an extension on the socket so you can eyeball the assy and keep it in line with the tube, use cutting oil or some lubricant, and go at it! Good luck and be careful. Getting it started straight is the trick and how much thread there is to cut may effect...

Don’t think so. Just stirring the pot 😁. I do think there are s lot of generalities being made though. One being there is one best lube for the job.

That might be something to do on a lathe. Once you find the correct die.

I have yet to see a test where someone took a chain apart and showed us the debris inside, or cleaned the outside of a chain then recleaned it again and showed the debris inside a chain, all which sounds like almost impossible. Now I ride on pavement, if my chain ever got to the point of...
