    More ebike misinformation

    Correct, we do see a few of these bikes here. Thats why the police are now focussing on testbench tests for all e-bikes, to filter out the elegal ones. Just like they did in the past for the traditional mopeds. Problem with the "fatbikes" is besides the crappy bike itself, the max speed with...

    More ebike misinformation

    For these "fatbikes" they are cheap non-conpliant e-mopeds which are used by schoolkids who really do not have a clue what the risks are riding how they do. It's not just Amsterdam, in the east there are a few citys who banned all e-bikes from the city center due to these "fatbikes". So there...

    Gasgas is owned by KTM Motorcycles, not the KTM bicycles company. Gasgas was their attempt to enter the E-bike world. The steep decline in slaes and massive investment of KTM almost brought KTM to a chapter 11 situation... As far as I know, KTM closed the Gasgas plant in Spain and stopped the...

    Flat pedal (no-pins) recommondations?

    they have the two options, EZY and EZY superior https://www.mkspedal.com/?q=en/product/term/3 https://www.mkspedal.com/?q=en/product/term/4 on our folders and on my Raleigh travelbike (indeed older steel model with the same geo as the Dawes Sardar... where would that design have come form :D)...

    Flat pedal (no-pins) recommondations?

    this part is fixed to the crank works like the bajonet system like on pneumatic or hydraulic hoses. so when the bases connector is screwed into the crank you use any EZY pedal with it: or the Promenade (also a very comfy and longlasting pedal) the yellow clips are used to secure the...

    Flat pedal (no-pins) recommondations?

    I'd go for the LAMBADA Ezy Superior those can be taken of the bike for transport (or taken them of as an extra safety measure) and indeed those are comfy (are on the Brompton Ralph T and the Tern bikepacking folder's)

    Tyre Pressure Guage or yet another new pump

    indeed, same as SKS, https://www.sks-germany.com/en/Products/Pumps/Spare-Parts.htm?a=catalog&p=1017 Since Silca moved from Italy to the USA in 2014 we see that the prices go up and up... SKS still just produces in Germany, and thats not the case with Silca, there are more and more products...

    Tyre Pressure Guage or yet another new pump

    I'd say SKS, Silca is way overpriced.

    Tyre Pressure Guage or yet another new pump

    I use different inflation systems. For the daily rides with the commuter bag with me I have a turbomorph with an analogue pressure gauge, for the casual rides I take a topeak e-booster with me (with some patches and a lever). For loaded touring I usually have another Turbomorph analogue strapped...

    Tyre Pressure Guage or yet another new pump

    riding like this : would include roadside repairs and the "get to home" would be under the stars in either a tent or under a tarp... so that would need to be a good repair to last a few miles...

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    PON has very deep pockets, so they wont end up as some other pure bike brand owners. PON is indeed struggling like the other bike OEM's, so they are slimlining the brands and product ranges (like most, I see it daily around me). When CSG was still owned by Dorel there was a significant overlap...

    What I hear from our sales guys.... Market got indeed into a standstill two years ago, last year sales did not really pick up, if dealers sold bikes it was in 90% out of their own too big stockpile. So that meant a lot to the manufacturing and stock for brands. (btw GT is PON.bike...). So we see...

    its these Harvesters who create these enormous piles of wood. Have been working with them years ago. Very efficient to get the logs out. They do indeed create some tracks in the fields. One would want to cut down the trees when the is less tree sap in them and the least chance to demolish frees...
