I’m considering riding the Seattle-to-Portland event in 2024. This event does not allow Class 3 e-bikes, so I’m looking for a way to limit my Creo’s top assist speed. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind limiting it, as I’ll need all of the range I can get. The only way I see to accomplish this is with...

I have questions. So many questions.

I’m sure what @6zfshdb says is true. However, I’m lazy, so I just charge my Specialized Creo to 100% after every ride, based on the thought that on my next ride I might need it. The battery health, per both the Mission Control app and the BLEvo app, is still at 100% after over a year. It may be...

That one is just plain scary! The problem is that at a given moment in time, anyone is capable of a lapse in diligence. Our mind may be lost in other thoughts when the call comes in, we may be overly tired, or perhaps we’re medicated.

I think the first rule is; never answer questions from a caller. I got a call a few days ago from someone purporting to be a representative from my medical insurance provider. They said they had import information for me, then asked my birthdate to confirm my identity. That’s when I hung up. I...

If it is a non-mastermind bike, the BLEVO app would work with it, which gives the user the ability to control the assist in a manner similar to mastermind. I use it, and I’m not sure I’d want to give it up for Mastermind.

This is similar to my story. I had a Trek 2000. After not riding for a number of years, I cleaned it up, put new tires and cables on it, even new wheels (one was damaged). I rode it a few times and decided I was never going to be able to handle the hills. I bought an ebike, and shortly after...

Yes to the efficiency of spinning. If you’re wearing a heart monitor, it becomes obvious.

Rome is the troll. You’ll want to put him on ignore.

SOLD UPDATE: SOLD MAKE ME AN OFFER! I’d like to get this bike out of my garage. Nothing wrong with it, but it just wasn’t the right bike for me, as I decided I prefer a road bike. I’ve kept it around for others to ride, but I’m really ready to see it gone. LOCATED IN PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON...

Well, that sucks. I have a couple of their 80 volt tools, so I guess I’ll feel the pain at some point. The way battery technology is evolving, I suspect this will eventually happen to everyone, regardless of brand. At the very least, we’ll need new chargers, assuming the battery will at least...

I hope you are able to find a good fitter. I went to one last year, and it helped but not perfectly. If I find the time, I’m going to give it another shot sometime. The problem is I can’t find one less than an hour-plus away by car. In the meantime, it’s not horrible, so it won’t stop me from...

My Trek Allant+ 9.9S was carbon fiber, and it didn’t help one bit. To me, it felt extremely stiff, and caused lower back pain with every bump, as well as numb hands. I was constantly shifting positions and shaking the sting out of my hands. I added a suspension seatpost and flexing handlebars...

Don’t tell dynamic. We’ll never hear the end of it. 😉

I find it really irritating when cars with the right-of-way stop and wave me through…….NO! I’M STOPPED! YOU GO!

Man, you’re a celebrity around these parts. You shouldn’t insult your followers! 😂

The number of rechargeable items needed for a ride (bike, range extender, radar, derailleur, heart rate monitor, Wahoo computer, ear buds, phone) is a concern of mine as well, so I always carry an extra charged battery for the SRAM derailleur, as well as a pack of replaceable batteries for the...

Fixed your dislike of chains. In good humor, of course. 😊

As far as I can see, the governor hasn’t yet signed the bill, but since he proposed it, I would think it’s just a formality. There are a couple of things in the final bill that differ from the OP’s information; 1) the rebate max is $1000, and you must be at or below 80% of the median income in...

As of September, 2022 (if memory serves), it has been legal here in Washington State to treat stop signs as yields. Of course, it’s on the cyclist to be certain the roadway is clear. I take advantage of it regularly, and appreciate not having to stop/start. I’ve had one close call, but it was a...
