    Signs of fall/winter.

    I tried heated socks my feet are too big and they were not comfortable. Insulated boots work ok. But I find I don't need them that often.

    yep, one in each pocket on the bottom of the glove. It would be nice to have an external source, but it would be a hassle, too. They only last about 2 hours on high.

    No, the battery is in the cuff. It's not bad. But when I shake my hands to wake them up, you feel it. Sometimes the battery comes loose, too. Or the glue gets turned on when it's in my bag and the battery dies, so I need a spare set of batteries.

    Nope, I only need one finger on the brakes. But the remote to change the assist level is a little tricky, as the buttons are small. But I have had a lot of practice too years.

    Signs of fall/winter.

    I gave up on heavy tires plus 650b's are way limited on what. ican find. Tubeless works great, but i think the CO2 messed up the sealant even though its not supposed to. So I got a battery pump and tossed the co2. But the heavy jackets finally stopped working for me. I rode so much in the rain...

    Signs of fall/winter.

    Here in Portland, the weather changes so much it makes it so I have to carry a lot of extra stuff. Also, with the rain and leaves, and cold, the slicks have to come off. Last here we had 40 degrees and rain for two days, and I had to refill the tubeless sealant twice. So lessons learned to time...

    VORSA Update (1500 mile review) King of the Hill?

    you need to change the lube you use. I have very little buildup using rock and roll, but it needs to be applied every 120 miles or so. I don't lube the derailleur at all just clean the wheels. After 18k it is fine. Now I have to replace the shift cable about every 8000 miles. But I ride in a lot...

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    well yes you would need a new valve. but I do this on all my valves and it works well. fresh valve grease it up. I have had so many clogged valves, sometimes only getting one or two fills of air. this has worked really well.

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    you need to get some plumber's silicone grease and grease the valve up before installing it. that has worked well.
