I have never cracked one. I dont know if I am using normal force or not to me it seems pretty hard but my arms are wimpy anymore so hard to tell. but I usually put a clamp on the rim to keep the tire from popping off, then work on small sections going around. I don't try to do it all in one go...

I bought a couple on one tire they worked fine till it broke. a tire jack worked pretty well and saves your fingers...

I got about 70 back on each battery in dividends.

no because they are the lowest end and shimano does not make anything else for 7 and 8 speeds anymore. if it is 8 speed you may be able to find some trigger shifters but the derailer sucks too so your kinda stuck. one of those bike shops that fix old bikes and such may have something better.

They used to be the cheapest bikes out there till China out cheaped them directly. But the tariffs are not helping at all.

I got at least 20k miles on only my first bosch battery it had 500 cycles. it was giving me 15 to 20 miles on the tadem when it was only a little usable after 7 miles. REI has the best prices but They only have a vertical battery. the 500 external is the best price. Now they do have the smart...

hard to patch tubes in the rain or at night and in the rain. I have screwed up tubs I have had new tubes leak. But even running tubeless, I carry one. and usually a patch kit.

yes though I have learned to take the wheel off without flipping the bike over. our e-tandem is hard to do no matter what it is hard to balance while taking the wheel off. Going tubeless has let me not have to do it anymore.

I finally broke down and dumped the C02. it was always a hassle and sometimes something would go wrong like not getting the cartridge on fast enough, and it all bleeding out of the pressure relief hole. yes, this costs more, but it works well and testing it against my Makita it is only 7 seconds...

Elastomers in the cold are not super elastic. had to dump the Suntour because of it.

Yes, they finally came up with connecting to your watch, but that does not feed to the Nyon but to the e-bike app. I find the Nyon does not do well with two Bluetooth connections, so I don't connect my phone to it as I use an HRM, and it works great if I don't have the phone hooked up. If I have...

You can't get any of that in the nyon or kiox. Well, you can get your BP from your watch as long as your phone is connected to the display. But don't get the smartphone hub, it was a disaster. Either your phone or a GPS is needed to get the radar on your bike. Even the new system, I don't think...

ya, that was my disappointment with the Makita. It would be an easy fix, but I don't do car tires, so I don't need it. At the time, I did not have any Milwaukee batteries, and I don't think they had a pump.

I just go by what batteries I have, so I don't have to buy the charger and battery. So I have the Makita one. One battery is plenty as long as you listen to it slowing down. I have a good, small battery-powered pump to go with me, and it is only 7 seconds slower than the Makita. My only...

come home in the pouring rain and 20mph winds in the dark and our local Mexican version the ice cream/snack truck is making the rounds. I have seen some weird times but no kid is coming out in that weather.

I worked late, and it just looked like sprinkling, so I did not put my raincoat on. I am i the basement of a bold building, so I don't know what is going on outside. Well, about 1/3 of the way hole in the dark, and the wind is 20mph, then it starts really raining. I had to stop and change into...
