A bent derailleur hanger may make the gearing indexed by one full gear towards the frame. Same with an ill-indexed derailleur. Once, the derailleur hanger was bent on my SL. The chain dropped from the rear cog and -- as the chain was moving -- the chain dropped from the chainring too and got...

Science uses the Metric system, even in the U.S. I do not need to remind you the Project Manhattan and later H-bomb were the German, Italian, Danish, Hungarian and Polish, with the Americans having had studied in Europe pre-WW2? :) Wernher von Braun, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller or...

How good the U.S. has standardised its units on the SI metric :)

@rochrunner: As I can understand you had a chain drop recently? These are main reasons: Derailleur out of adjustment Bent derailleur hanger Inadequate chainring Stuck chain link. Yes I know you use a Praxis chainring, which is of the Wave proprietary pattern. Several users here complained on...

1470 Wh is an obscenely high battery capacity. Have just run some stats of mine: 118 km / 1,400 m elevation: 924 Wh (measured) 125 km / 1,700 m elevation: 981 Wh (measured) 68 km / 900 m: 608 Wh (as above) The main difference being: my rides above were all on road. Those were closed loops so...

Same in Poland on e-gravel "rallys" now. I have got several gold and silver in the past. I'm losing now to young people riding low-power lightweight gravel e-bikes. These guys ride unassisted at the high speed on the flat and descents and only use the assist on the climbs. I got a SUB 5 (hours)...

As for my riding style, I only do the one click or the full press. I will set the long press to 2 cogs (it is now 3). No need for more where I'm riding! The shifting is as fast as I can repeat the action there in the hills if necessary.

I do fully comprehend the cultural difference! Also, your urge to banter whenever you can :) Love that 1977 song!

The organiser knows well you wouldn't ride for a long distance in the TURBO mode :) I wonder what e-bikes were ridden by the men on the podium.

I'm buying my rare cigarette brand at a petrol station :) I also replenish snacks and beverages on my Sunday e-bike rides at the service stations :) The cost of riding an e-bike is as low as I can afford more expensive products :D

I would say a slightly bent derailleur hanger can still be handled by the Di2 derailer. The adjustment is -10 units in my case. What I dislike about the Shimano wireless is the shifter. In a higher class mechanical Shimano system, you can both push or pull the upshift lever. With Di2, you can...

It's hard to give a single reaction to your post :) Things do happen! I need to address a stereotype. We Poles do not smile, do not engage in small talk, are direct and appear to be rude. Become a friend as you have, and you have a friend in a Polish person. Even if we have never met in real life.

My total ride from Józefów to Warsaw-Stadium was planned to 64 miles :) I just stopped the recording at 63.0 mi by Gdański Bridge :) Aren't you moved with my gesture of friendship? :) As I made the 63, I decided to ride to WAW-City Centre instead of Stadium. I hoped to buy my rare R1 Slim Line...

63 Miles For Chargeride's 63rd Birthday Anniversary! ❤️ The original plan was to ride Mazovian gravel together with Marek and Tommy for over 130 km on Saturday. With two batteries on my Vado 6.0 (and taking 8 km commutes into account), I was on the verge of the battery range. What could go...

Wahoo has got a Polish translation What a shame. All texts must have been translated by a robot. The translation is terrible. The best example (English -> Polish -> English): KM TO GO -> KM NA WYNOS --> KM TAKE AWAY :D Keeping my Wahoo English!

I didn't want to mention Canada because the nation is Metric but many units of measure of the neighbour are accepted. When I was in Canada (once), I was really surprised with the road distances in kilometres and the speedometers in kph (we call it km/h in Europe, by the way). The British are a...

I was waiting for your first acoustic ride, Rab! ❤️

I'm confused. Is there the "intelligent sensor fusion" or just a cadence sensor? Bosch, the leader in mid-drive motors should know the sensor technology at best?

I usually do not offer birthday wishes to anyone as: Getting older sucks Birth day is a day like any other We should wish one another all the best on any single day and all year long! And you Chris know the best I am fond of you very much! Besides, you could do a simple 63 (!!!) mile road ride...

Regarding the proper chain length, I was unsure if I was sizing it right on the upgrade of my Vado SL Gen 1 to Shimano Di2 XTR (wireless) 12-speed. Fortunately, @stompandgo was as kind as to look at the pictures and advised shortening the chain. Thank you so much, Stomp! I have no experience...
