    Mayonnaise, better than the politics! :D I must write this. There is nothing more dividing the Polish society than mayonnaise :D I posted the Białuty photo with a caption: "And I still prefer Kielecki!" That is the best trigger for a heated discussion in Poland. The reactions are: "If you love...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    Disk brakes are made of friction components (the rotor and brake pads). Good disk brakes do clean themselves as you are applying the brakes. Unless the rotors are stained with some fat or oil (even coming from human fingers), there is hardly any need to clean them. This rotor was never...

    Turbo Vado 3

    Exactly. Everything from and including post #43 should be deleted from this thread. Alas, we have dysfunctional administration here. Vado 3 is a heavy commuter bike, having an 850 W motor and fully equipped. The Chinese e-bike shown in post #43 is a low power, small battery, lightweight and...

    Coffee Courier :) The first thing I learned in the morning was production buildings near to the Social Care Home where my daughter lives went on fire. (As usually, we suspect it was a sabotage, a part of the hybrid war carried out by Russia). Soon after 8:00 in the morning I learned by phone...

    Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Tick-Tock Noise

    You see, it is one of the strange noises I experience on my e-bikes :)

    Turbo Vado 3

    Yes, I agree Canada should be the 51st state and Greenland belongs to the U.S. It's hard to make a peer review if you cannot get the other e-bike for testing. First question: Are the Vado and the Chinese thing e-bikes designed to perform the same role?

    Turbo Vado 3

    A brand thread means we discuss if the Vado 3 is good or bad but we do not compare apples from one brand to oranges from another. If one wanted to compare e-bikes from different brands, the General forum is a proper place for that.

    New Plans This April is a terrible month: some days are warm and nice, other cold as if it were Winter. This early morning grocery shopping, 2 C. I have announced a new group ride for Saturday, which might be the only day of the weekend with decent temps but there will be a very strong wind...

    First ride on NOS SL 4.0 and warning message

    Glad to hear Doug the new e-bike makes you happy! If I invest in anything new, it is for my Fearless. Roadrunner (the big Vado) has nothing to improve, and it is a big boy! :)

    Comfortable E bike seat

    Unfortunately, no major e-bike manufacturer has discovered that yet :)

    Turbo Vado 3

    I thought Dave you read the "flame war" part. A novelty e-bike? https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/new-1500w-avinox-amflows.59057/page-3#post-710386 See the date :D

    Turbo Vado 3

    There's something called netiquette. It is just behaving yourself based on simple decency, which protects communities and individuals, and helps finding the right information. It is for some reason there are brand fora on EBR. Fancy a person such as PedalUma visits your Pinarello thread and...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    Horses for courses :) It has worked for me well. I'll post a close-up photo of my rotors morning my time. Meanwhile: what amount of black streaks can you see in this photo?

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    Why? Apply the spray and the grime just flows down onto a piece of a paper towel :) See the cassette and the brake rotor. All what was needed was the brake cleaner fluid.
