I had asked Grin about a replacement 26" rim and they sent a good recommendation. I just sent them another asking about a 29 as I don't see anything wider than 24mm width id on their website. I wonder how good a $40 chinese rim is going to be. The Velocity Blunt 35 is $150 and the DT Swiss...

I use an Oregon bench grinder. Have to make sure it is centered when cutting the knives or they cut crooked. Cut the gauges however deep you want to make the cut, can go aggressive or easy. Always take two or three chains to the field, one starts to dull switch it out. Have to cut the knives...

Thing would be to find someone who already has the package together. This is close but not quite there. Mine uses the Hentach motors...

I am 180#. The 26 x 4 tires on there are rated for 198#. I scaled it and most of my weight goes on the rear tire. Probably depends on the rim maker whether the eyelets can be used or not. My 26" rims don't use eyelets and haven't seen any problems so far so probably not necessary. The...

When I was checking diameters, didn't seem like the 27.5 was much more than the 26, if I was going to do it, to make it worth my while, I'd have to go the 29. There's only 1 of the u663 available for the 29, have to wait a couple weeks, but they look promising. I think it would be beneficial...

That one looks good. The 30mm inner rim width is right for the 26 dia rim I was looking for, would have to check to see if there was a 29 tire to fit. 36H. Don't see a price. Wonder if the width of the distance between mounting holes on the hubs is an issue. The hub motors are about 3"...

Where did you shop your rims?

Thanks for your input. Both the Wired, and all their bikes at the moment as far as I know, are hub drive. Both rears are same, one has front hub drive also. I read the 29 x 2.6 or something was similar in diameter. 26 fat is like a 29 regular.

3 yrs later how did the modification turn out, or anyone else care to chime in with new information? I have a couple Wired ebikes with the 26 x 4 I'd like to change out for something thinner while maintaining the radius as close a possible, just cannot go any bigger for clearance. I think I...

After 5 or 6 yrs and somewhere over 3k miles, I decided to replace the grips. They were getting kinda tacky and the other day noticed my gloves were sticking to them pretty good, and I always wear gloves. These are the replacements. Feel like good rubber and the heel pad has some compliancy...

Okay, know everyone has been waiting a long time for the pics. The first one is the Como with the pin hole, I taped the indicator lights off cause I wanted to see them and didn't know how the silicone would look. The last pic is of the Vado, went ahead and did it and covered the whole thing...

No.

Noticed the cover for the on/off switch is starting to wear through on the Como. Anyone come up with a replacement? May try a thin layer of clear silicone before it gets too bad.

Because people look for s*it like this to fill their world. People think by giving their attention to something they can fix it. Doesn’t work that way. You give it energy to grow more of it. Consciousness is energy. Wherever you send your consciousness you give it energy. And whatever you...

Why do people like to give their attention to stuff like this?

I heard they were going to make the garbage trucks drive backwards to reduce the amount of head on collisions.

I still haven't gotten to the point where my candles will not run out with melted wax. Seems the store bought ones will burn without the melt out, makes me wonder if they are mixing something with the bees wax.

Exactly what I said.
