    The transition

    Are you f'n' hi or just delusional? Do a quick search of what the Japanese did to the Chinese leading up to and during WWII. They were just as if not more savage as the Germans to civilians and saving our troops by dropping bombs on them was more than strategically correct but damn well...

    Installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14, IGH on my mid-drive Luna Z1 Ultra Mag

    Hey Tom See if you can post a Pic of the tensioner... I'm curious about chain legnth and I'd like to see how much the tensioner is preloaded at rest. I'm not having any issues, but when I look at mine the chain looks to be a few links to long as the tensioner is almost at full rest. I've tested...

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    Bla bla bla... How many threads can you post the same nonsense. We get it, she's the best and you built her the best bike ever. I think I dated a lady that had a special hand crafted toy made with Reynolds 631. . .

    What's impressive is her will to do it... Though not anything I'd ever be interested in doing. But if you look at the statistics she's averaging 42mi/800ft^/day and on an ebike. Her ass/saddle time deserves the credit 🙃

    The transition

    I never meant to imply that the US is the best educated country.... But equating us to Russia I find a bit simplistic in thought. Just imagine a sequel to It's a Wonderful Life and that the US never existed. I'm just glad that the bell rang.

    The transition

    The US has more than it's share of missteps, blunders and just plain bad decisions. But when you factor in the outcome of WWI/WWII and that places such as Ellis Island existed... I think when all things considered, there is no equal and no better. You gotta take the crooked with the straights...

    No... Why/How could you think that?

    Then add that ignorant people from irrelevant countries always crave the tallest soapbox for finger pointing 🙃

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    From what i see she only got 2500mi out of the original chain... Might have been clean but the lube was ehh at best. Super soy wax is probably best left for hand jobs 🙃

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    You can not over rev' an electric motor in this application... But you can bog it down. The latter should be your only concern

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    Not at all how it works... And why you're concerned about rpm has me baffled. Maybe it's a Vado thàng? 🙃 You want efficiency... Stay in the lowest gear possible.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    You can't convert amps to rpm. The load varies greatly, thus current is ever changing. Even knowing no load RPM for each PAS will be useless information. More important than high spinning which the motor appreciates... Is bogging it down with high current/load at a low RPM

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    Though it would be an interesting cobble, personally I wouldn't bother complicating things with a tach. With an electric motor it's more important to monitor current... at least in this application. For reference, the published guesstimate of max RPM is 140 Yes your % of current set on the...

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    How so? I put 1 full drop per roller by rotating the bottle 180° for each. Rarely spill any or have it run off the chain. What do you find neater?

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    The Boeshield T9 (wax based) states a minimum of 2 hours but overnight for best results. I've done both and less does wipe off if left overnight. That said... The 2 hour method still has good results. ymmv

    Probably cost twice as much as a bottle of Boeshield as well 🙃

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    If you want things to be as neat and clean as possible then removing the factory lube is a big help. If that's not an issue.. then leaving it does no harm but I also don't think it helps much either... imo.

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    Why would that be? I use Boeshield T9 and it's a wax in a solvent designed to flush out old lube/grime and dry with a new layer internally. Using it for a few years now that description seems to be accurate. Like I said earlier.. My experience with not cleaning the chain first leaves a lot of...
