    Florida Legislature considers problematic provisions that threaten cyclist safety.

    I liked watching B-52 and FB-111’s take off and land when Carswell AFB was a SAC base in the 70’s.

    New to the Group - Looking for Gravel Friends in the Bay Area

    I do not miss the days of sun burns in my teens and twenties. I don’t take shirt off as I am scarred in front because of Triple Bi-Pass and other surgeries and all over my back with those surgeries. I am sure I am ‘white as a marshmellow” also. Dad, my younger brother and sister have the brown...

    My wife’s mother grew up in the Bayou‘s of Southern Louisiana. Her mother’s mother was French with the last name Breaux. Sometimes her mother would come out with French sayings I guess she picked up from her mother.

    Michelin High Milers got the best wear of any tire we tried on the Original DFW Airport Train (Originally called Airtrans). Firestone absolutely the worst and only got 10-19K miles on them. Very soft rubber and did not work well on my sons first car in 2001 that came on them. The best thing we...

    My brother took electronics in High School then Electronic Engineering at University of Houston. I wanted to take Electronics in High School but you had to take the class first in 10th grade then they would allow it in 11th. I had to take some other required courses in 10th grade and no room for...

    Some cheap stuff from China using cheap components and being overrated not going to last no how much you baby it. Mostly cheap capacitors failing. It is hard today to find some things that are reliable. I hate it when something worked very well and lasted many years yet when you replace with the...

    When I first got the bike they were a 14lbs of air pressure. I found the bike got much more stable at or near 20. I do not like doing anything at or near it’s maximum as it wears it out quicker. A circuit breaker in a house should only be operated at no more than 80% of it’s rated value. I...

    With the knobby tires I had the pressure set to about 20psi. With the new Kenda’s 21psi. Why the difference? Mainly to insure they straightened out. I originally filled the rear to 25psi to correct any issues with tire deforming during shipping but dropped to 21psi before riding. Didn’t need to...

    My does it in .5 increments. (i .e. 27, 27.5, 28, 28.5 and the low value is 14“ and high value of 30”). I assume that is what you mean by granular but really granular would be in .1 increments.

    Yes, it was right on with their setting of 29” wheel setting. Now I had to go to 27” wheel setting and now close to the Garmin. I am so tired I cannot rationalize the setting going lower with new tires as to why? Maybe tomorrow after I get some rest my brain with revert from it’s present Jelly...

    Thanks PCeBiker. That certainly clears things up a bit :) Also, I only charged to 49 volt DC because it was getting dark and I wanted to test ride it. Probably should have waited unit full charge.

    Great suggestion. Thanks. Maybe because it is cold out there this evening but with a fully charged battery an PAS level of 5 in 8th gear I was getting 28-30mph with not problem but this evening 25 was all I could do with PAS 5, 8th gear and slightly downhill (the garman and the bikes display are...

    I understand diameter and circumference but sketchy on actual wheel diameter and outer tire diameter as to which one the are setting wheel size on the display for the wheel size. I do not understand using 26” as wheel size if the diameter of the tire is larger. That affects the speed just as it...

    I had to re-adjust the tire size to 27 get it close to the Garmin after charging the battery. I thought the diameter was of the peak point of the tire to opposite peak point of the tire. I do not understand how they all have a 29” diameter. Please educate me :)

    LOL, You will not believe this but I only got 1 hour or so sleep last night but wanted to stay awake all day to do things on my E-Bike and start on a Battery monitor circuit that will read out all important data for the battery. Any way I nodded off to sleep several times writing the previous...

    Ok, two things…first the display has two graphs, one for remaining battery voltage and the other is for PAS level. I apparently looked at the PAS level and it was 3/4 full and I was thinking it was the battery voltage. The battery voltage was at the lowest level and the E-Bike barely made it up...
