But my thought process isn't half-baked, it's thoroughly baked! lol I never said anything about them being unreliable or untrustworthy. I said they don't have what we would call a legal system. I'm a fan of countries with legal systems. I'm old fashioned that way. Edit: I realized later...

I have questions, not answers. I think 1 spot on the bike that might be ok for locking is the bottom of the seat tube by the pedal crank.

Good idea! That's exactly what I'm going to do.

I bought the Granit XPlus 540 model. I don't know what they say the internal measurements are but I'm reading 11 1/4" x 4 1/4" (but only around 9 1/2" to where the curve starts at the end). I haven't tried the lock yet. I just wheeled the bike up next to my motorhome and eyeballed the...

I give you credit for toughness. I'm doing the new seat anyway. I rode for maybe 3 miles today and my butt had a meaningful conversation with me. I'm now sitting on the softest office chair I've ever owned and all is not forgiven.

lmao! I have seen the video and now I have seen the light and I'm man enough to admit I was wrong. Foldylocks is some bad ass sh*t! 👍

I can't find any definitive info on the Schlage, just people going ohhh and ahhh on Amazon because the chain feels beefy so they think it must be strong. I ordered it. It will be fine for locking the bike next to the motorhome and it will give me a way to test whether or not the 2' Abus...

Well I'm pretty married to the Abus lock (shown @ the 43 second mark in your video Hutchentoot). It seems to be the lock that others are measured against, which is why he's showing it even when talking about a different lock. It's the gold standard. I'm thinking when a thief sees that he's...

What? Someone on Amazon said it was and that there's a youtube video out there that shows a guy failing to get through it with boltcutters. I looked for the video and came up empty. I just placed the order. I'll cancel and either find proof that the chain isn't some toy or I'll find another...

Good advice Old Biker, but the Abus chains are being difficult. They offer 2' (too short) and 6' (too heavy). I'm ordering the Abus lock and 39" Schlage chain and calling it good enough for now. I wonder if I could order the Abus sleeve separately and use it on the schlage chain...

I got my bike a couple of days ago and finally got somewhere where I could set it up and go for a ride. The bike feels solid and I like it. What stands out from my first ride is the sensation of speed. Fun stuff. And then there's the seat. Whoa. Replacement seat order happens today. And...

On mine the allen key fits the fender support brackets and not much (if anything) else.

So Aliexpress is owned by Alibaba, a Chinese company operating out of China? A nation without what we in the west would call a legal system? And people are going to trust these folks with advance payment on an expensive item? What could go wrong? I think Darwin will have a little fun with...

I'm usually cynical and I've had a long day so I've got extra negative crappola looking for a place to fester but I'm thinking this forum is about to slide downhill in a big way. :) Ebikes will continue to drop in price. That's a given. Maybe you should wait to buy one. Maybe you should...

Exactly. I don't know when it started but somehow people seem to have gotten the idea that commerce is a zero-sum game. IT'S NOT A ZERO SUM GAME. 'The other guy' can make a profit, and by making a profit he'll be around for awhile and that's a good thing. I hope Brent & Levi and company earn...

I got my bike today. So about the smell of rubber from the tires... I'm fulltiming in a motorhome and I cleared a spot so I can keep the bike inside. Do I have a bike carrier in my future or is the smell going to go away? Serious question, I'm not joking. (I have not ridden the bike yet)

Not too many? I sent one. But to be honest it was labor day. lol Sorry Brent, I figured you guys would take a long weekend and you'd see it Tuesday morning. I've got to give some points for dedication. He responded on labor day.

We can scratch another one of the list. I just picked up my bike. The box looks to be in good shape and I'll dig into it later. For now I'm just glad "The Ordeal" is over and I'm glad that the pace is picking up and people won't have to wait so long. This probably won't apply to many people...

They're shipping at a much faster pace now, maybe it's due to the move.

I think they're getting it together. I'm supposed to pick up mine tomorrow morning at FedEx so I think I'm going to get good and drunk this evening so if anything goes wrong I'll be in the right place mentally to handle it like the macho guy I am and break down and weep in public. I'm thinking...
