This one came in from 2018. I think is the first one that I ever did all through frame. I just cleaned it up, gave it a new chain and rear cog, and lubed inside the motor. It is a flash from the past. I have learned so much since. It is a Nexus 8 coaster brake cruiser. With a TSDZ2 (a). The...

Obviously any real Guidos and Vinnie's would not post about it as humor/entertainment on a public site; particularly one about bicycles. I have never been suspected of a crime or even been a fight as an adult, so I am not likely to suddenly start in my 60's. I have learned that is best to step...

It worked on a giant trike with hydros this week. It pushed the lever out for more pull.

What I saw in videos of his house are what look to be the LA hills in the background and really close. By triangulating the peaks from other images Guido and Vinnie could determine the exact address. Then match the images of the home to a real estate site such as Zillow as a second confirmation...

@Go-Rilla, In the inside 'crotch' of the left brake lever there is a little black screw with a dot of blue thread lock on it. Try turning that in almost all the way. It likely takes a 3mm Allen key, if I recall. Report if that immediately helps.

I talked to the owner of that Mercedes today. It is a 1972 and lived in Napa for many years, which is good because Napa is best known for its auto parts. Then it moved to the bucolic town of Sonoma. He said that he was just up on the 101 freeway and was doing 80 mph. That is 129 kph. The car is...

What do cars look like in Nor. Cal. without road salt? The girl I liked when I was five, Jeanie, rode in the backseat of one of these VWs. A girl I liked as a freshman rode in a Benz like this. That is when baige was a thing.

Canada has all the natural resources the EU lacks and within a few years it will put the EU in the second largest economic spot just behind China and will displace the United States.

@DaveM! Made this, not me.

Yes, that kind of negative attitude is not a reflection of me. Georgia O'Keeffe once said, 'If you find my paintings of flowers sexual, that is a reflection of you, not me." It is like the psychologist who gets slapped for showing inkblots. What ev'r. I think that chart is useful and memorable...

@mclewis1, I respect your perspective. We agreed not to have a throttle on that particular bike. That topic was discussed. It was partially the aesthetics and her riding style. To have at throttle with that particular motor requires an eight mm thick wire with add-on connections for cut-out...

I made this chart to help me in programing how the bars on the display appear so that each bar gives the same miles, under the same riding conditions. And no, I am not claiming to be an expert, and that is why I enjoy peer review. Going ad hominem doesn't help with that for anyone. So, yes, I am...

Not my idea. It was my manufactures' rep who recommended it. I take zero credit.

What if your joints are swollen?

I set my mid-drives to go into a 30% power limp mode until the internal temp goes under 100C. I do not know anyone who has done that yet, but this region is cool in the Summer. The rider can still go but not at normal power levels. I can also be safely set in programing to 90% of controller...

Sun screen is really good when cycling just make sure you reach for the correct one.

Some cadence sensor bikes can be programed in about 20 ways. I make them start at 1 volt, without delay, or lag, and I take the overrun time way down. Having some power is like washing your hands in warm water. It is nice and does not need to be ice cold with no power or boiling hot with power.

I now know where D-ump got his negotiating style. He stole it from my ex.

@EMXG, Is the controller inside the motor. Very clean. Nice work.

I am thinking that anyone who is well-known, famous, has many more detractors and haters, then supporters and followers. This applies to 'influencers', political figures, religious leaders, rappers, musicians, business leaders, and artists. That is the nature of taking a unique position...
