Have you been hearing something about Bosch motors/parts, @PHXRDR ?

Good stuff, foofer! I imagine a tandem down a steep grade needs extra heavy-duty brakes.

Superb. That is really cool, Pedal…. THANKS!!

Going on 3rd year with the RCS. 3500 mi on the odometer and climbing. If I can get another two years I will consider that I’ve gotten my money’s worth despite quite a lot of issues over the past two years, including the death of Juiced and their “keeping” of my rear wheel assembly that was in...

Oooh, thanks for that, stomp… I use the stuff and I never use gloves. Errrrr… maybe that explains a thing or two. Oh, and I used to play with mercury when I was a kid. D’oh!

So funny… I just re-read the title of this thread and saw “wife organizing”…. Kind of gives it a different meaning, eh? :D :D [spoken like a true divorced dude, of course]

Pedal, I am just curious, but did you build out that Fat Boy with the Tongsheng motor? Wondering how difficult that was and what snags you might’ve run into. Could be a future project for moi… I love the idea. Also, if so, in retrospect, would you go with a different kit for one?

IMO, with the pace of innovation/changes/upgrades in the ebike market and the proprietary designs of everything involved, you kind of have to look at the standards as a starting point to safety/performance, not a guarantee. Even a specific bike that gets certifications is likely to run into...

Hey, Pedal, All of my Fättie’s electrical problems (and there have been several) were caused by water. Well, a battery fire was caused by road salt and slush (and water) getting in the battery due to a design flaw in the case, but water is the enemy. Did you take any pictures of the rusted...

That is definitely funny! Seriously, signs for that? Too weird.

Awesome!

Moon rover, wider than a mile…. [sorry, couldn’t resist]

Twin, where are you located? Central MA has been done with accumulating snow for a few weeks now.

Gotcha’. Great, a robot sounds like a good thing for you then! Yeah, sorry, no experience to offer, 6. I would be concerned about the durability of the robot given the amount of mowing you’d be asking of it. Good luck. I hope it works out.

37.5 mi yesterday (3+ hours). Great ride; half of which was done with friends. Sadly no pix to share. Just happy to be back riding and out on the trails.

Good luck, 6! 7 acres? I’m not sure if I read your post right, but I don’t think a robot would be a good use for such a big property. While I’m at it, a riding, zero-turn mower is just the ticket for large properties like yours. They’re a lot of fun to use, by the way, and might make the...

Some of you have heard me whine about the rampant use of acronyms / abbreviations on the forum, particularly when I was a newbie. Anyway, this morning an email caught my eye from one of the online tool stores that I frequent: "The LBS results are in and so are the sales!" I took a triple...

Beautiful pix, Rás, including the flatbread pizza!

:) Sounds promising. Energy storage is the key problem to solve in order to enable decentralized power delivery everywhere. That would be a major boon to pretty much every aspect of civilization.

That saddle looks great, Chris. I really like the ergonomic grips on my Fättie. They came with the bike. I don’t recall any discussion about the BioKork ones, but they look very cool — and I bet they do look right against the Pinarello’s paint scheme. Do you like riding with rear radar...
