    Fixing geared hubs with a hammer

    With a big enough hammer and maybe an anvil, I can fix the crap out of anything in the world.

    It's hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

    The gofundme effort on his behalf isn't keeping up with the accumulating interest. The way it's going right now it will take almost 11 years to reach its goal and that doesn't touch E. Jane Carroll's settlement.

    Is that what he wears? https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-stinks-and-so-could-you/ The flag on the right side of the picture has 44 stars. I doubt T knows why that matters. TT

    E-bike wire snapped and now have an error 30. Engwe x20

    It would be nice to hear back from the OP. They haven't been back at all since the original post. Not exactly sure why, but that seems rude to me. Oh, well. TT

    E-bike wire snapped and now have an error 30. Engwe x20

    It seems like the first thing to do would be to splice the wire back together. Have you done that? TT

    Fun with AI

    Interesting It seems to have the general idea of what a bike is but has a problem with nearly all the details, like pedals, spokes, handlebars, saddles, etc. TT

    Elon's flamethrowers were more fun though.

    I mostly agree, but sheesh, an alleged billionaire reduced to hawking gold-painted hightops is pretty funny.

    Dutch Police not messing about.

    In simpler terms, I'm just saying it doesn't matter what kind of bike it is or how fast it can go, it matters how fast it's going, which is totally in control of the rider. I hope you didn't take what I said to mean that I think ebikes should be allowed to go 30 mph wherever they like. That...

    Dutch Police not messing about.

    I think it's probably wrong to make bikes illegal because of how fast they can go. We don't do that with cars and trucks on our roads. Behavior should be regulated, not hardware, at least for the most part. Any bike can do 40 mph down a long hill. Should all bikes therefore be banned...

    Chain length dilemma: Who to believe?

    No real idea myself, but you know what works and 10 is a lot of extra links! I'll be interested to see where this goes.... TT

    How do y'all handle flats on your rides?

    I carry what I need to fix most flats. Tools, patch kits, spare tube, air. I haven't had a lot of flats lately. There aren't a lot of natural or man-made flat-causing things in the roads around here, and/or I've been lucky. I suppose if I were having flats a few times every month my attitude...

    Tire temperature range?

    I have absolutely no expert knowledge about this subject at all, but I imagine the difference between the addix and 4-season materials, while real, are probably mostly theoretical under normal conditions. 20°F might be cold enough to measure the difference with scientific instruments but not by...

    Which brake first?

    Skidding can be fun or maybe even useful, but it's very rarely what you want to do normally or on purpose is all l'm saying. TT

    Which brake first?

    Well,okay, every rule has exceptions, but not skidding is still a good rule. TT

    Which brake first?

    Seems to me that the only way you get in trouble with the front or the rear brake is when you apply them too hard. Don't lock up your wheels. Either one. You;ll stop faster and safer if neither wheel locks up. I pretty much always (post coaster brakes) apply my rear brake first, maybe with...

    rohloff problems 2500 miles??

    Everything said so far makes good sense, but it seems to boil down to "leaks happen". Frustrating that you didn't get more details out the the service than that they replaced the seals. Perhaps it made more sense just to do that than to find the leak (if there was only one). If there was only...
