    Biking With a Smartwatch

    Just keep in mind that it also somehow knows when you've been naughty or nice, cheating on your wife or at nudie bar 🤔

    Rohloff or not?

    One other factor that drew me to Al Grounder tire was that it's available in 27.5 x 2.6. I don't think the Marathon + is available that wide. The tread is wearing very well now that I have them for 2 years 6000mi. They're far superior on pavement, but not as good as the JW off road. But I'm not...

    Rohloff or not?

    Nothing against the Marathon+ tire but I would choose something that fits your riding needs. Schwalbe makes a few tires all with the same flat protection. Here's a good comparison...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    In my parts we either ignore or twist the nipples of the elite thinkers. The latter being much funnier. 🙃

    48V 30A 1000W

    fyi... You don't have to replace it with the DPC-18. As long as you match communication protocol, most all Bafang compatible mid drive displays are interchangeable. Personally I prefer/use the third party APT 860C, though I think there's some new ones out there. You can find these in the same...

    Rohloff or not?

    The electronic version I believe at this point is still only reserved for bikes with a Bosch motor as it ties into the system. Mine is cable actuated and the shift mech just unscrews from the hub. When you put it back it's the same and no adjustments needed. Takes <30 seconds.

    Rohloff or not?

    I think I agree with the consensus here... You might be a little nervous about the trip and over thinking things. Though you might be more familiar with chains, the Gates belt is proven reliable, as is it the Rohloff. Instead of switching to a chain, I'd spend the time learning everything there...

    Rohloff or not?

    I believe it needs to produce an F♯ when plucked 🙃 Did you try spanking her with one to see if it met specifications

    Rohloff or not?

    There is a company that does make one with a so called "master link" I think v something or other, the name escapes me at the moment. It's a little limited in what sizes and applications are available. From what I understand belts can be a little finicky if you don't set the tension correctly...

    Rohloff or not?

    Well that's somewhat of a personal need/decision. In my case it came with default Bafang 40t chainring and the default 16t Rohloff sprocket. The 40t didn't give me enough speed and way too much on the low gear end. I then tried a 46t and and shortly after a 44t. The 44t is perfect for my needs...

    Rohloff or not?

    Though the belt is supposed to be superior... maybe split the difference and switch to a chain for something you are more familiar with . Like I mentioned earlier the E8 chain seems indestructible. I apply Boeshield T9 every 300mi. I did get a flat in the rear when I first got the bike about 6...

    How to check battery voltage

    Has anyone ever stopped one in progress? Even a toothy one??

    I have something that needs it's voltage checked.

    Rohloff or not?

    We have very similar bikes with the difference being mine is chain driven and has rear suspension. Other than the initial improper installation issues from Zen, which I fixed myself, my Rohloff has been flawless for over 7000mi now. I will never go back to to a derailleur...and have just under...

    Suspension Frame: bearing tool (6902 bearing)

    Yeah I came across the Bike Hand tools afterwards...probably would have gone that route if I had found them earlier. That said the cheepó tool worked well. I greased the seat in the frame with Slickoleum (@PCeBiker, I put that $hit on everything ) and for a little added insurance I left the...

    How to check battery voltage

    One other thought. . . You first reported the problem a few weeks ago. What was the temperature on your ride? All batteries loss capacity in cold weather. And it'll be more noticeable, the smaller the pack is.

    How to check battery voltage

    Does the charger shut off/ LED turn green at the end of charge in a normal amount of time? If so you're probably reaching proper full charge voltage. Also your display should tell you if you have a full charge. Typically a battery issue will show itself with premature shutdown. I think the...
