    They only gave you a split of wine. Cheapskates.

    The good money has to be on van der Bruggen but my heart is with Demi. I hope she pulls a Jonas and her team beats up VDB enough to close the gap.

    Heart issues are common in racing cyclists. I know plenty of them that have had ablations to control heart rate.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Ditching the fenders is fine, as long as you like the look and won't miss the OEM rack. There is always a way to add an aftermarket rack and taillight/radar. There's also nothing wrong with rotating your tires, but that kicks the can down the road. That's not a bad idea at this point in the...

    It looks to be a battle between the best domestiques, second tier sprinters, and Seixas.

    Congrats to Ben Oliver and the Modern Adventure team for winning the Tour de Wollonie. He came from behind in the final sprint, got by DeLie and took the final stage for the GC win. Next up for MAP is the Tour of Slovenia, another 5 day ProTeam race.

    EMTB Advice?

    Your Velotric is a step-thru. This is the Zemo you mentioned. Not a step-thru, not 100Nm, not really an E-MTB. It's a trekking bike. It can be ridden off-road in the limited way that you stated. Is this what you really want? You will not find a true E-MTB as a step-thru. If you are concerned...

    EMTB Advice?

    It depends what he means by step-through. I've asked that question without an answer. I'm not going to just roll out suggestions only to have them taken apart as not meeting his requirements. Any idiot can ask AI or thumb through websites. BTW the Bosch upgrade is manufacturer-dependent. Also...

    EMTB Advice?

    What kind of step-through height are you looking for? What is your ideal bike, only available in Europe? What is your target bike size? Lots of wishes and not a lot of specifics. Your >100Nm requirement is going to limit your motor choices significantly.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    That's not a crazy idea. We do the opposite on older frames that can handle a 28 in the rear but only a 25 in the front. I ride on very much the same surfaces as you. I can't say enough good things about my Panaracer Gravel King X1 Plus tires. I have fenders, and even with 25mm wide rims, the...

    Wi-Fi issue with all Nyon 1 - again

    Maybe they were moved to a localized system via an update, while the US was left behind? I don't know. I thought that the Nyon was not distributed in the US to begin with, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Wi-Fi issue with all Nyon 1 - again

    Your Nyon is .52, your router is .1, your ISP is mshome.net. mshome's DNS server is ipv4.connman.net. .240 and .55 are the Bosch servers or firewalls. Bosch either shut their servers down, blocked the port(s), or both. This is how they shut down the System 2 optional services service (electronic...

    An inflatable is unsinkable? One shot would take care of that.

    The transition

    So could I, but there's these pesky things called permits, liability insurance, and homeowner's insurance. If your work sparks up the house, you own it. If your house sparks up your neighbor's house, you lose everything.

    Almost. I think I laid out my suggestion above. I also said that the UCI may have done this. I don't have details. Rider finishes. Bike is weighed. Tech fails. Impound the bike immediately. Delay preliminary results and podiums (they have to be presented in order). Weigh the bike multiple times...

    The transition

    I've owned Ego lawn care equipment for about 5 years. My first battery died last week. The failure mode is that it is able to take a charge, but the runtime is only a few minutes before it cuts out and the red light flashes. That's good, but not great, for something that's rarely used more than...
