While I have one Johnny Racket on the Ignore, I got interested in what he could say and show about photography. He didn't disappoint me. A personal attack then several painful nature photos (the squirrel and the dolphin were nice pictures though!) The bird photos were as bad as they only could...

My surprise was the curve was non-linear. We always assumed the assistance response would be linear. I also set the ECO in my Vado 6.0 (full power e-bike) to 100/20%. Bmax = 3.2, Pm max = 520 W. One might assume I would always get 104 W assistance despite my very low leg power. The outcome was...

Yes. On the other hand, phone cameras often cannot take good (or any) photos with the sunlight backlight, in overly contrasty scenes or in low light, really.

Meanwhile, I rode in Warsaw to a service that might fix my Tamron zoom lens. Any pretext for a good ride is welcome! 😃

So I was right about DJI Avinox.

I've got the GBP 75 Takumar 135/2.5. The crop. The take was at 1.3 m distance. Sharpness at f:5.6. f:8. No CAs, no vignetting, sharp, good colour rendering. Sharpness, colour (crop). I think the "magic" of the 1970s Asahi Pentax resulted from a combination of interesting optical...

Guys, I've decided to have a look at the Specialized tables with my own eye and just to do all the calculations in Excel. Where, Bmax is the rated maximum boost of 2.3 Pm max is the rated maximum mechanical motor power at cadence of 80 rpm, 300 W E is the Ease % M is the Maximum Motor Power %...

Everything was easy and understandable until Specialized published its detailed tables :) Jeremy, bear in mind the reported Pm or Pm/Pr would be probably based on the electrical motor power. The mechanical power for the SL 1.1 is 0.79 * electrical power. That is, the rated mechanical power of...

Now fancy you've just bought a DJI Avinox e-bike and cannot use it :) These are the lives of many Russians today, and it is not a joke. First of all, the internet is being shut down in many Russian regions under the pretext it helps the Ukrainians coordinate the drone attacks. Secondly, the...

Input rider's power 85 W, output motor power 300 W. It is just impossible for the SL 1.2 motor. Someone at Specialized had entered a wrong datum.

Which reminds me of Alfer "The Ice Warrior", a friend of mine who zooms frozen rivers and lakes, and uses his Wahoo for GPS navigation only but he records his rides with the Strava app on the smartphone :) It is his own photo where the ice gave up. The name of the river is, ironically, Cold...

Perhaps add Pr to your ACE :) With the Cadence field as well! :) Certainly, certainly. Now, I have a weird idea how to set my Vado 6.0 up for the upcoming days (B= 3.2, Max Motor Power 520 W): ECO: 100/20% SPORT: 40/100% TURBO: 100/100%. I think the new ECO would be perfect for the grocery...

Yes, the oversized pulleys are made with bushings. While I don't care about it (and replaced the pulleys once, I think), I would be the last person to discourage you from installing the Deore XT M8000. Only take care to order the 11-46T (not the 11-42T) cassette. Perhaps your existing cable...

That's the spirit! A totally correct action to take!

There are some news: I ordered this camera harness: https://cottoncarrier.eu/collections/camera-harnesses/products/g3-camera-harness-1 My universal lens, a fast Tamron SP 28-75 mm f:2.8 zoom is almost fine. It is slightly damaged but could be fixed by the Tamron service in Poland. I only need...

Why going personal? Do you know that going personal in a discussion is the "Ultimate Argument" (dishonest) as described by one Artur Schopenhauer in his "The Art of Being Right" (1831)? Going personal means you have no valid arguments. A mid size company that has tried with a plethora of e-bike...

A good explanation. Just tell me please. Do you manipulate the Torque to get the Max Power calculated, or?

Did Orbea try with Fazua, too?

There was a sad but otherwise legally interesting incident a couple months ago. While my close friend was approaching a bike path crossing, he was run into by a rider of an illegal upright e-scooter approaching from my friend's right side. Even if the collision was violent, no equipment...

I wonder what I could install on my heavy duty Racktime rack...
