    Need NEW conversion motor for Kalkoff E-bike

    Yes; That is for a 2010 24V 200W Panasonic motor. Use a standard frame with an english bottom bracket shell that is 38.8 in its inner diameter and 68-73 in width. I think this is the person in San Diego who emailed me today.

    Where is the controller on this Walmart ebike?

    @lucas1122 is correct. The controller is also the junction box of all wires. Follow the wires to their nest.

    It is GRX. See PedalUma on Google Maps.

    Why not like this one? Classic but not clunky, and with Reynolds 631 and modern Shimano gravel components. Elegant classic looking bikes do not need to be clukey. Timeless, nostalgia is an algia, sickness. We can honor the past while moving forward. Clunky is to be left behind. Classic style is...

    Check the brakes on this Tweed Run. I would like to drop a mid-drive in it and with wide platform pedals and tan wall gravel tires.

    Remove Speedlimit On Ancheer Speedrid Bike

    Technically any bike that does not have a throttle attached and that goes over 20 and less than 27.99999999 is a Class 3 bike when pedaled by someone aero, strong, and light. The low fruit are, the wheels, tires, swapping the cast iron crankset and ditching the pogo fork. I would look into Roval...

    Wire Organizing- What Do You Use?

    You know how we talked about that silicone tape? It has another purpose. Just put a little under the speed sensor pickup. It will keep it from sliding out of place.

    On that Ti bike the right, drive-side chainstay makes a thud when hitting it with my fingernail, but the left rings indicating that the power side is much thicker, although with the identical outer diameter as the left. The designer was genius, putting care, vision, experience, love, maybe some...

    Off topic but I attract the extremes. Super high-end bikes with handmade frames and the bottom of the barrel. Yesterday I worked on an S-Works. I work by appointment. A guy just showed up today stoned on a moped style bike with 16 inch wheels. Three-year-olds ride 16 inch wheels! It had no...

    @stompandgo, Ideas often come to me when my mind is uncluttered on a ride. What you said about the tubes explains why the seat stays have S-curves. Compliance. They act like vertical springs. And are likely thinner tubes than the chain stays which need to transfer power.

    I do not know about the metallurgy of Ti but can say I was able to hand expand the rear dropout to remove the rear wheel. It was tight. In my experience with that my impression is that it has more flex than 6061 Al.

    I have purchased these four times. At $3 each I give them as gifts to my receding hairline riding buddies. They also keep a helmet smelling fresh. It is like a sock for the head instead of sweating in a sockless shoe.

    Raising Handlebars to Ease Hand Pressure

    I have taken to mounting and dismounting perpendicular to the bike. That way I am not twisting my left knee while throwing the right leg over. It has made a big difference. I am getting on and off bikes ten times a day, so that would amount to twenty knee twists.

    There are some with mag wheels. Like on a motorcycle.

    The fact is I do not have a lot of hair on top. So the sun shines through the ventilation ports burning me and making scabs. It is not good. But these are good. They are thin and lightweight so they fit under a helmet. They block the sun and also absorb sweat. Just toss them in the wash. They...

    It is a climbing arborists' helmet. Those are the guys who climb trees with ropes and chainsaws. A lot of their equipment is better for cycling than cycling equipment. They need to bend, stretch, and reach in all weather. Selves are extra long. Jackets have tails and adjustable ventilation such...

    Yes, it is titanium. We had the wheel conversation again today and I referred him to a wheel builder. With weight wheels are always the first weak point. Once you pop one spoke it places more stress on the rest. Interestingly bikes do not push on spokes, they are suspended from the upper spokes...
