electronic drivetrain electronic drivetrain. Another silly marketing term. The pedals and cranks and bottom bracket, along with the chain and sprockets are the lion's share of the 'drivetrain' and they are not electronic. They invent all this great technology and then use ridiculous...

No they are not, they are designed for 250W 😄

I have a large Garmin RV775 on my ADV bike, it's not waterproof but it's the best there is with a BIG screen and Hema Rasta map package. When it looks like rain I slip a plastic sandwich bag over it and that keeps it dry but also allows me to use the functions. Ya gotta think outside the box...

Are you a GenXer, born 1961 and onwards? That generation is the do it yourselfer generation, the latch-key kids that were raised unprotected and left to explore the world as they would. The stuff I got up to in my youth raises the hair on most millennials heads but to us back then it was just...

well what would you expect from a cyclist vid, the channel is AverageManOnaBike. Car drivers wont be be watching or commenting, just like I don't watch or comment on recreational boating or crazy 4x4 vids.

There was an everything boom in the 1970's, that was when the world collectively went of the Gold money standard and nations started inflating their currencies to keep pace with America that had led the way. Gold put a break on how much money could be created, which put a brake on how much...

In one sense it isn't their fault, nor is it the fault of the 'culture', the fact their brains have been colonized by social media and gaming, porn and gambling. No it's a recurrent cycle believe it or not, every 4 generations they pop up, just like every 4 generations a baby boomer type...

If it's just a trailer there is no advantage to running those huge tires. Just go basic wheels, something small. Cheaper and more efficient and less likely to tip over

Soft ground, bushy trails? Honestly you sound like you're going to be riding over some tricky sort of ground and even a layback style recumbent like the ones mentioned above would probably be a disaster in such an environment. I'd be looking at some fat tire upright bike, you can have the seat...

Those parktools ones are the ducks guts but I'm forever moving mine around so I got one with 4 fold out legs. It takes up more room but it's quite sturdy. I can sit an ebike on it with the hailong battery no worries.

Yes they can angle the top tube down as low as they dare but you still have to swing your leg over the bike. I was never one for threading my foot between the seat and the stem. But they'll find a niche, even a big one if the marketing is done well. Just look at the plethora of carbon bikes...

Well that's ok with me, I just wipe them. They feel hard done by, old boomers have all the houses and money. Yes true, but you have the better mobile phone and sports buds, the expensive joggers, you've had all the redBull and other boutique drinks. Now go live in a park, but not around here.

one look in the bicycle room(s) would tell the story

Correct, I was a bit befuddled there on the bicycle dismounting process, apologies. On Motorbikes, more often than not you are correct as well. The bike those wheels in my pics above are off though is an adventure bike, and they like dirt bikes have high seats, high frames so as to avoid...

When empires get old and collapse, law and order is one of the first things to go.

Motorcycle wheels are measured as the distance between the bead seats, the flat inner surface of the rim basically. Not long back adventure bikes/offroad switched across from 18" front wheels to 21", for more stability on gravel etc and for getting over obstacles better. Here is a 29er tire...

This is where I stopped reading, was it an AI written article? Clueless. Another viewpoint https://www.cyclingweekly.com/newsfeeds/no-road-wheels-are-not-going-to-32-inch-and-heres-why

Well they are the standard for two reasons. 1, you can't buy anything else now lol, and 2, they are better offroad because of their ability to rollover stuff better. But they have downsides, they are harder, or slower, to change direction. But all in all they are a good choice, a nice...
