    Using Copilot AI to find my next eBike

    This is interesting. I had not considered using AI to assist with such a comparison ... now I can see myself doing a phone comparison, an action camera comparison and an active watch comparison just to get started :)

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    Thanks for the reminder that I need to sort this out with school starting in two weeks. Reading https://thebestbikelock.com/best-u-lock/abus-granit-x-plus-540-review/ put me off the Abus, but your suggestion was handy for sizing information. So, having read further at The Best Bike Lock, I have...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    I have considered them, but they may be overkill for me here in Perth as where I will be locking up the bike is already semi-secured plus the excess on my insurance is less than the price of the lock. Other than touring (low risk) I do not tend to leave the bike unattended for other than maybe...

    D-Lock for Supercharger 2

    I plan to use my Supercharger 2 to ride to law school (campus), and whilst it is 'locked' in a bike cage, it still needs to be secured with a lock approved by my insurance company, such as the Abus Ultra 410 U Lock SH34. I prefer a D-Lock rather than a chain for convenience, but I am curious...

    Battery recharge with dynamos?

    My experience with two bikes with dynamos is that over a day of riding (mostly touring or Audax), the dynamo will keep the lights on and maybe maintain the battery charge on the GPS or at least slow down the drain. Turning the lights off does help with the GPS charge, of course). I cannot see...

    Pannier bag update, the ultimate hack!

    Here in Australia, we would call that a MacGyver after MacGyver of the TV series.

    c02 Inflator Question

    If it was for motorbikes, then it would likely be for Schrader value. It also looks like it is for a Schrader value as well.

    Inner tubes. Our friend AND enemy.

    While my preference is nowadays to go tubeless, I do carry a Schwalbe tube as a spare. I have had on occasion over the years a tube split at the seam. I never thought of it as being a product failure, just what it was, a tube failure.

    Warning regarding Ortlieb Panniers

    I have numerous bags, including an Ortlieb one with end buckles. They have never bothered me, but each to their own. Put it this way I would not buy a bag just because of this.

    Should I Buy A Pedal Wrench?

    I had never seen or heard of pedal washers and, hence, never used them on any of my bikes over the years. What is seen as the advantage of them?
