    Looking for some advice regarding selling an e-bike.

    Well, two things. 1) I bought it a while ago, but it's sat in my house for a long time after it became nonfunctional. 2) I bought the bike on eBay because it was $50 cheaper than the same bike on Amazon, and because eBay has a guaranteed return policy for 30 days. Only afterwards did I find...

    Looking for some advice regarding selling an e-bike.

    So, a while back I bought an Ancheer bike on the Internet for $615 (https://www.amazon.com/ANCHEER-Electric-Mountain-Removable-Lithium-Ion/dp/B01AU7KWXC/ref=sr_1_3). Being heavy (325 lbs); and hauling a 60 lb trailer with a 20 lb dog in it; and taking up hills without first downshifting; I...

    Anyone use a trainer with your ebike?

    That sounds great. I wonder if those things are available with regular trainers, something you can hook up to it? Even without competing with others, it would be nice to have some scenery via a VR headset or whatever.

    Anyone use a trainer with your ebike?

    I'm not the OP, but I found this thread because I had the same question. Why use a trainer with an ebike? For the same reason you'd use a trainer with a regular bike: because sometimes it's too cold or inclement to ride outside, or you just want to ride in the house. As already noted, you don't...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    OK, so 3 weeks ago I replied that I had followed your instructions, but that it didn't seem any different. However, in the weeks since, it hasn't come loose again! So what you recommended did the trick. Thanks! I will say, though, that the there is a "little" wiggle in the handlebars. But that...

    Looking for tips for transporting laptop

    Interesting video! I'm not sure that bananas in the pack are a good idea! :-) And, interesting that he went to all that trouble to secure the laptop, but then when he put the pannier on the rack, he didn't secure the bottom hook! He just laid the pannier on the rack with the top hooks. Sure to...

    Looking for tips for transporting laptop

    That's a good point about tossed luggage. (I always bring my laptop in carry on.) Yes, my backpack has that same special compartment for it. But I don't want to wear it, as my back would get sweaty. Probably a nice piece of thick foam between the backpack and the rack would do the trick, even if...

    Looking for tips for transporting laptop

    No, not a solid state drive. Glad to hear you've been commuting with no problem. That's good to know. I understand how pannier would have no problem, since the laptop would be suspended vertically. But when you transport it via backpack, how do you do it? Wearing the backpack on your back...

    Looking for tips for transporting laptop

    I am looking to transport my laptop on my bike to ride to Starbucks or wherever and work. I'm concerned about the effects bumps in the ride might have on the laptop. The laptop will be in a laptop backpack with padding on the back, and I was planning on strapping it to my rear rack. I was...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    OK, I did this. Doesn't seem any different. I undid the nut and then loosened both sides, then I put them back together and tightened. Didn't feel any clicking of the teeth being set. But both sides seemed to be firmly in place, just like before. Doesn't seem any different than it was. I guess...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    Thanks! I was reading about the different Loctites, and I wonder if Purple would be better than Blue?

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    There's nothing really to wiggle or push in on the left side. On the left side is just a small hole. Not even a hex shaped hole to put a wrench into. Just a small round hole. Nothing to turn or grab onto.

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    Thanks for the input! I'm trying to decide between the standard saddle (10.5x10.5), which is very popular, and one of the longer ones, like the one you got (12.5x11.5). Do you mind if I ask what led you to buy that saddle? And also, did you consider the smaller one? What is it about those extra...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    Mine just keeps coming loose. I tightened it real tight yesterday, and then today was starting to come loose again. Don't think it'll pass. Rad offered to send me a new stem. Think I'll try that. Thanks! Your first link is the one I was leaning towards, as it's the most recommended. But the...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    I have mine at a 40 degree angle, and I'm 320 lbs. But I'm not doing any hard trail riding. Just a few miles here and there through the streets. Shouldn't come loose with that! Someone recommended holding the bolt on the other side while tightening. Doesn't seem to be necessary to me. But I'm...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    When I tighten the right side, it tightens tightly. So much so that I can't tighten it anymore. Wouldn't that mean that the ratchet on the left side is fully seated? Otherwise, the bolt on the right side wouldn't tighten completely, right?

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    I mean that the handlebar is loose at the top of the stem, so that you can wiggle it up and down. When I tighten that side bolt, it's fine. But it keeps coming loose.

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    So, I've had my RadCity for a short while, rode it a handful of times in the week or so since it's been put together. A few days ago the handlebars came loose, where they wiggled a lot up and down. I made it home and then tightened them as hard as I could. Today it happened again. Not as much...
