    New Jersey Would Be Foolish To Require E-Bike Insurance & Registration

    The problem is that enforcement is at the city and county level, not the state. They want to look like they are doing something about the problem, but the only thing that state law makers can do is make more laws. So that's what they do.

    Well, it's not like you have to shift the front derailleur very often. If it starts binding, you may have to lube the cable or replace the cable housing more often.

    New Jersey Would Be Foolish To Require E-Bike Insurance & Registration

    There are plenty of laws already on the books to solve this problem. Cities just need enforcement. Bicycles have to obey the same laws as cars on the street. Exhibition of speed is how they calm down the street racers. At least in California. Years ago I had a friend who had a six banger...

    I vote for clamps on the downtube and ignoring the braze-on cable guides. I don't like that bend in the housing. https://velo-orange.com/products/dia-compe-cable-housing-clips?variant=50643875911

    Yes, that is the intelligent approach to the problem. But you don't have to be intelligent to be elected to a state legislature.

    Vacation planning with E-Bikes

    I used to travel a lot for work. If you are a frequent traveler and have status with the hotels and airlines, a lot of those problems go away. One year I qualified for Global Services on United. My connecting flight got canceled while I was in the air to Dallas. When I got off the plane, an...

    Watch it only if you are into sad endings. I guess that's Old Yeller and not Yellar.

    ShockStop Stem on Vado SL

    That would be an interesting contrast, but I would go with white. Black or yellow could look good too. Are you going to match the color of the hydraulic brake hose?

    I use the fiberglass rods 90% of the time, but the magnepull has come in handy. I bought it for a tricky pull in my home and it paid for itself.

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    I have 180mm discs on mine, but it seems that flat mount brakes have a 160mm limit.
