Price of gas SHOULD fall due to slower economic activity. The Saudi's also upped production, don't ask me why

If trump stays in office, those renewable energy numbers will fall, actually they've already fallen and will get worse. His "drill baby drill" campaign is comical, He promised to lower our engery cost by 50% in a year. How is that possible? by drilling? there's a point where drilling operations...

Solar is dead because the president doesn't like it.. 3,000% tariff on solar panels. No more wind turbines either, the president says they cause cancer and kill all the whales. This is warped reality we live in now yet the faithful still cheer.

When asked what "clean coal" was, trump responded. "They take it out of the ground and then they clean it"

My other hobby is RC airplanes. Not looking good there either as almost all of the RC stuff comes from China. Are any LEO's capable of actually checking the watt output from our motors? Seems to me just throwing a 750 watt sticker on anything would work

This all could end up being moot when the tariffs hit. Not sure the buying public will go for double the price of what ebikes are selling for now

My ebike is a class 3 and 1,000 watt bafang ultra motor. It's the Rize RX.. It LOOKS like a normal bike and despite the "illegal" power and the throttle, no-one has ever given me a hard time. I typically ride at less than 20mph but can go 35 if I feel like it which I really never do. To me...

Solid state is already here, it's just too expensivie to mass produce. Tariffs will send that technology back to the dark ages

There's no doubt low load and slow charging greatly improves battery longevity. I fly RC with lithium polymer batteries and although they can be charged at 5C as per the manufacturer, they last a lot longer if charged at 1C. My planes with very powerful electric motors are harder on the...

yeah o.k. smorgasboard. Isn't there a smorgasboard somewhere near you where you could go for a while? :)

I'm sorry your feelings are hurt by my humor :)

It works for me. I love the maxima chain wax so I bought a can of their chain lube and then I thought, hey, if I spray the wax after the lube, it might give me better results and for me, it seems to be workingl YRMV. but don't post anything about it unless you have a caliper based chain...

Just won't let it die eh smorgasboard? o.k.. you win, my chain checkers are crap, my system of lube then wax is crap, my posting in two threads is crap. Thanks for being so diligent in pointing out the actual factual truth. If anyone is taking this personally, it's you. Looking forward to your...

Hey man, I found a combination that works for me and thought I'd share it. You seem to revel in taking it down... Carry on if it gives you joy. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm just appalled you'd put so much time and energy into debunking everything I've said. Now as far as chain lube and chain wax...

Yes, o.k.. my chain checkers are junk. I've used them on other chains that show wear and they seem to work o.k. My point was with chain lube applied first and chain wax applied second, I'm not seeing any measurable wear but when using just oil based chain lube on other chains, wear is quite...

Well, no, not that accurate, one is from park tools, I forget the model and the other is a cheap amazon gauge. I'm sure I'd show some wear if I had a highly accurate gauge but my gauges are good enough for ballpark measuring and surprisingly, neither shows wear. On my 250 watt Haibike using...

Very happy with maxima chain wax. I actually apply the maxima chain LUBE first, and then hit it with the chain wax. 1,500 mi. on a 9 speed chain with bafang ultra motor and no measureable wear on either of my chain checkers

I switched out the Kenda knobbies that came on my Rize RX with bafang ultra motor. I installed schwalbe super moto x tires. The super moto x tires are a hybrid made for street and some dirt but IMO, they are strictly a street tire. The difference in ride quality and rolling resistance was...

I've been using Maxima chain lube (available from Amazon) which is a standard type wet lube followed by Maxima chain wax.. The lube penetrates deeply into rollers, pins and plates then the chain wax seals this lube in so there's no fling off or mess.. 1,500 mi. on a bafang ultra motor and 9...

Same, use a timer to shut off the charge no higher than 90% . A couple times each year I do a full 100% balance charge My one ebike battery is 4 years old now with no signs of degradation, at least that I can tell. about 4,000mi.
