Here's the one I bought. Reading customer reviews, it's a toss up, didn't read of any breaks. Says it will support 550#. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09V2B9F5F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I got my spring mounted up. I didn't cut it, cause, cut once cry once. That thing has a lot of spring, takes a lot of down angle to compensate. I am gonna try it for a while as shipped and see if I like it. I am 180#, don't know how it would treat heavier riders, lighter shouldn't be any...

I go by feel anymore, I have a pretty good idea what works for me. My theory, when you sprint as in running, accelerating, you are at the optimum knee angle for your condition. When riding the bike, I know what kind of knee angle I can use and push the most on the pedals. It is nice to be...

I switched tires on the como, from the oem s works to the schwalbe pick up. The s works are pretty thin on the sidewall, prob goes back to the gram weenies and saving a buck. The pick ups had pretty stout sidewall. Noticed it is much easier to ride no hands with the pick ups. Previously with...

This is where it gets weird, or wired.:). The rear wheel uses 10 ga spoke and nipple, the new rims are made for 12 ga. I had thought to drill the rim for the new hardware but looking at the pieces the holes would be pretty big, especially inside to get the nipple head through. The holes in...

Mine are the RSTs. Work pretty good really from the short run i made with the smaller tire. There is movement fore and aft without compression over some of the terrain so I wouldn't call them top notch stuff. The 4" rim I took off was pretty stout. It has three ribs inside the double wall...

There it is. I got tired of waiting for the schwalbe pick up to show up so went down to wally's place and bought their in stock cruiser special for $20. Not a bad tire really, 40-65 psi recommendation. The white wall is a nice touch:). The fender may look a little funky, that is as low as it...

I am gonna try the first post idea. Anybody had any problems with the metal fatiguing or bending?

Victim number one. Turned out well. Front wheel for the Wired Warrior. Next up, prob one of the rears.

Installed a Schwalbe pick-up on the front. Thought I detected better roll when I installed the Schwalbe on the rear. Put one on the front and there is definitely a difference. I think everybody hollering about the difference between power assist and pedal only difference may be attributed to...

So I took apart the 26 x 4 fatbike front tire. Has the regular hub, no electric. Was hoping the spokes and such could be used on the Husky 26" rim. Calculation says the spokes need 4mm more length. So close. Surprise, Husky has the spokes, 258mm in stock with nipples for $50, so order on...

I find Pedros chain checker plus 2 to meet my expectations unlike the park tool stuff.

Changed the chain out today, 3860 miles. Started the countdown at 980 miles. So almost 3k miles using 30 wt motor oil. Same gear set and chainring and didn't change them out as I caught the chain pretty early in its demise. Used a garden hose to spray the cassette out every once in a while...

Got the micrometer out and measured the spokes on the 140 and 170# Wired ebikes with the Hentach 2000w motor the rear spokes are 10 ga. The front spokes on the drive 1500w motor and nondrive hub are 12 ga. Surprise! Buchanans website shows 10 to 12 ga nipples have same outside diameter of .236.

I can do better than that. How about astral travel? :)

0, 00, 000 are the wire gauge increments, that last one is sometimes called a fatty. Here's the link to the nipple sizes, half way down the page. Maybe it is just moped category that it applies. https://www.electricbike.com/moped-rims-tires-hubmotors/

I gave up on that project but here is something interesting. Made in taiwan which I think is better than China and drilled for the 12 ga nipples. 30 mm id rim. Has the right profile for strength. I read that 11 and 12 ga nipples are same size. 13 and 14 same size. 15 and 16 same size. Is...

You had good luck with Bikeinn? They have a killer deal on some tires, thinking about ordering some.

Installed the Schwalbe Motion Pick-up on the rear of the Como. Now that is a tire! Much impressed with it compared to the oem piece, especially for hauling the groceries.
