If it moves less than 1/4 inch it is overly tight. If it moves more that 3/4 of an inch it is too loose. One solution with centering the axle in the dropouts is to use an extra wide and strong half-link chain. If you have tightened it twice and it begins to loosen with the miles just a little...

Place your thumb in the middle of the chain. With about six pounds of force it should deflect by about a half-inch.

https://www.facebook.com/PetalumaPoliceDepartment/posts/today-petaluma-police-officers-conducted-another-traffic-enforcement-operation-f/1327314162863857/ One kid is highly disappointed that I will not show him how to jailbreak his bike so it will go 35 under throttle down a multi-use path with...

I have had people come in with a non-working throttle. You can see the red or yellow of the connector. And it is so hard not to to just plug it in all the way on the spot. At times it is just hanging there, totally open, and they can't figure out what could be wrong. Then there was one lady who...

When the customer has spent two weeks on a problem and you fix it in seven seconds right in front of them it just makes them angry and they do not want to pay. But if you do exactly the same thing while they are gone for 45 minutes having a burger and shake, then you are a genius and so fast...

Most factory hydoro levers have an 8mm adjustment screw at the electrical signal input. It could be as easy as one-quarter turn out. I am trying to not show off in front of a customer and fix their bike in 7 seconds. Go have lunch and come back is better.

It is ready! I installed the throttle but used marine grade heat shrink over the connector with a Schrader dust cap imbedded. Then I painted it with three odd colors and adhered a PedalUma sticker to it. It cannot be tampered with and be made to look like nothing happened. It will be up to dad...

Specialized has MAP pricing. No one can advertise a price below it. Ahh, but the corporate stores then give away hundreds in stuff as an incentive to use them and also have priority on what is hot. They are eating their own children, the independent dealers. And selling DTC.

I thought I saw you in the motel parking lot talking to a blond. Imposable. She is not even a real blond.

Would you remarry if I died? Yes, maybe. Would you let her use my custom golf clubs? Never! Why? She is left handed.

The bike has an odd down tube at the BB. No bushing or motor mount was used. There is a lump on the frontal top of the motor to one side, the drive side. The narrow/wide chainring was off by one tooth. The motor's right side housing broke across the place it covers the main gear. The owner is...

I would like @pem to talk about it. One of her fellow riders was struck in the back of the head this morning by an awning pole that broke loose from a camper doing 70 mph. The driver saw it and hit the brakes and hit him at 20. Chris is a Welchman and is in a South Dakota hospital. It is...

Here you go @pem. I converted your photo to jpeg and made it less than 1 mb.

A bike just came in. It was a referral from an adult trike lady that I hooked up with other Sr. eTirke riders. I have worked on her trike a dozen times. The bike had a BBS02 installed across town by the owner's neighbor's kid. The motor was not mounted right and the narrow/wide chainring was off...

If it wrote a song the refrain would include the phrase Alexa turn it up, Alexa turn it up, Alexa turn it up. The song would end with Alexa play it again.

When @pem first took her bike from her Summer place in Colorado to her Winter training grounds in the Texas Hill Country, she loaded it up with her camping gear and went on a brief camping trip. She had one 48V 10Amp battery at the time with 35e cells. She did 75 miles of hills and said that she...

Okay, so today I was working on a Brompton folding bike. The owner has never cleaned the chain but has applied WD-40 every two weeks for years. You must handle the chain to get it on the complex chain tensioner. My hands were black. As soon as I applied hand cleaner and started working in the...

@Gionnirocket, All I can say now to address your valid question is that when charging in the Off position charging goes quickly to 44V and then slows way down to reach 49V and the LED on the charger goes from red to green and it stops charging. When while still on the charger if you toggle the...

I have them made for me that way. There is no documentation because they are custom batteries. The only drawback for me on those batteries is that they have never been officially UL certified, although the manufacturer makes UL batteries in the same plant and to the same standards. It is a...

@pem, Given the miles and hours you use your batteries charge them in the 'O' off position for nine days. On about the tenth day charge the one that you use first in the off position, then while still on the charger, switch it to the 'I' on position for about 20-30 minutes just before you ride...
