    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    I have used that rim on two bikes, tubeless. It works well. you want 27mm tape; both of these work fine. The teravail is even easier to use. not critical on valves, muc-off is fine or whatever. been using Peaty's Holeshot Biofibre Tubeless Tire Sealant as it does nto seem to dry up. myself...

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    I avoid the steepest one. There is a way right before it to go and end up on the same road that only has about 9% or so grade at the worst for a block; the rest is a bit less. My HR still gets to 150 doing it, but it is a bit easier. If I walk the bike up that steep part, my HR is about the...

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    Well, I have 500 miles on this bike so far. I lost over 2 weeks because of COVID or something. Now I can ride it 3 days a week, but it is more tiring. I am still burning about the same calories: 300 going to work, 400 or more coming home on average. So that’s about 30 miles a day on the trek...

    helmet search bike

    I got annoyed pretty fast with visors. mine was higher end and you had to store the visor. but still they scratch easily and the optics are not that great. if it does not have anti glare that can be a issue too. but thats just me. its easier wearing wrap around glasses.

    I think you would have to splice it. with these you just need to cut the wire slip them on and heat them up with a lighter...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    yep. though its good to take some alcohol in a spray bottle and flush the dust from the caliper once in awhile. our tandem developed a leak in the caliper. I kept getting black stuff on the rotor I would clean it and it would come back, found the bottom of the caliper had oil on it. that was...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    yes but with a lot of heat any small amount of contaminate becomes the back stuff. or like on my new bike I had a bit of disc rub and the rotors both got the black on them. the brake cleaner wont clean the black off at all.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    The cleaner won't remove any of the black streaks. If you use it every time, you have to bed in the pads too. I just use alcohol unless it won't get rid of the noise.

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    The bike came with 180mm rotors and 2-piston shim calipers. We were going slow, but we could not stop it on a steep trail. It did come with a rim brake, so that was too scary for it, but that was on the back for my wife so it could not be used all the time unless I could yell at her. We used it...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    thats an idea. I dont need to clean on the go though. I figured comet would work too but I dont have any. I clean my ss pans with the barkeeper friend sandpaper really sucks unless its attached to my sander (G)

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    2 seconds on a 450# tandem may bleed 2mph off on a 18% grade with both brakes. One place we have to keep the speed below 10mph as it’s a T intersection. Longer grades not so steep, it’s different. The tandem if I let it loose on that one block hill would hit 40mph on a residential road with...

    Easy way to clean rotors.

    I have air-tech rotors 203mm and I have tried all the pads right now they are ceramic. thats been the best combo. but the problem is the heat is really fast and short. so its about instant heat for maybe 10 seconds then its done. the right rotor is all that made the difference the pads dont have...
