If you are not the master of your bike, then it is not really your bike, it is someone else's, you are just paying to support it, but they, another guy, gets their way with it. You are helpless. Good bikes are owned by their masters and fully programmable by their owners...

The motor is in. Loosely at this point for any adjustments. I wanted to route the shift cable over the BB so there is no chance it will get crushed, so I added housing and ran it over the bottom bracket shell. Turns out I could have left it under and been just fine. There is enough clearance...

@Stompando, That is so cool. The owner has a highly unique body type, hence the custom build just for him. He has extra long arms and torso. My plan is to move the connector to the display down to the joint at the downtube S&S. It sure saves on Bikefights. Oh, Man! I wanted to put on a...

This one came in yesterday for conversion. It is getting a lot of upgrades. All I have done so far is polish the frame, removed the cranks, and replaced the twenty-year-old bar tape. The owner went to the Olympic training center and they put dots on each of his joints and filmed him riding...

Yes, she is my wife, but another guy has his way with her and I can't even watch.

You 'own' the dog, but someone else controls it?

Start with the Virginia Tech bike helmet test rating guide. Out of 120 rated helmets, look for one it the top 10 to 15. https://www.helmet.beam.vt.edu/bicycle-helmet-ratings.html You can read about the testing process and equipment. One of mine has a removable visor that I attached a bright USB...

45 psi is about right for that bike. Every month it will drop to about 41 so pump it up. The 30-day average will about 43. Get a new pump or just the pump head.

So true. But if you are doing stuff no one has published about you need to take the quiz on your own.

I screw up more than anyone. But they are fresh screw ups.

Actually, it can be started on a dead battery. Particularly on the top of a hill to make it essay. Or, you can go along and charge the capacitor/battery while you ride on a flat It feel like a bike while viewing the tulips.

Nice review. Through and balanced. It is cool tech but a biggie for me is proprietary dependence and complexity. You can't take it to a bike shop or fix it yourself. So many eBike companies come and go, leaving people high and dry.

Off topic; forgive me. I am getting excited about the Ti bike. It will be in my shop in less that two hours. Today I will prep the motor to paint it with titanium look automotive engine enamel. It is getting a bunch of accessories and upgrades. The final one arrived today; polished square taper...

An interesting one is coming in today or tomorrow. The owner has already made a deposit. It is a titanium road bike, handmade in Ohio twenty-years-ago. It has couplings on the toptube and downtube. When you take the wheels off and open the couplings, and turn the bar, the whole bike fits into a...

When I was about nine, my dad told me to never rely on a soldered joint for mechanical strength.

I will need to use that silicone tape today inside a motor compartment. I am joining a 4 mm eight wire lomb to a 6 mm lomb. None of my sizes of heat shrink fit the bill for that transition. It is just another fall back option in weird situations. With the heat gun it fuses. Sometimes I will come...

A max speed of 23 mph is great on a girl's 20" $127 bike coaster brake bike for a six-year old going down a hill. Congratulations on the grand achievement. That is your Max speed. 37.8 Kph. I still want a selfie showing you can compete with a six-year-old girl on a $127 bike.
