I put Moto tires on a RAD today. It makes it look BAD.

A standard BB fits a 68 to 73 frame shell. The difference between then in the length of the square taper shaft. A triple ring takes a longer shaft and you would want to balance that with the Q on the left. The shown ring should work fine. And should be the same distance from the center of the...

'No need to ask; He's defloprator, defloporator, defefloprator!'

Okay. So what did you order?

The topic is dumb bikes that suckers have no control over and how to take control back. It is also about the humor in device addiction and how to dispense of it.

Show a photo. I am not sure what you mean in terms of what to what is 65mm.

You really know you are alive when riding in hail. I ride every day of the year. Sometimes I will watch the storm cells and look for a gap.

I ditched my dumb-phone some years ago. Freedom is so much better. It is like skinny dipping. Autonomy. I am engaged with my environment, with myself and my bike. My bikes are mine. I am the master of them and can program 150 variables to make them behave exactly the way I want. I would never...

There is a 70% rating that this year will be a historic El Niño, event due to climate change. There will be flooding in the western US, Mexico, and Canada. With more impacts globally. We are still three months ahead of it at this point, How will it impact your riding and and life to be in heavy...

Here is an eighty-year-old meat grinder. It still works. And you can buy one for the price of a new blender at target. How many electric blenders do you go through in 40-years, seven? It also makes applesauce its real name is a food mill. I recall the first internet connected refrigerator. What...

Yes, I will be gone by then, but the bike will not need to go to the landfill, non-proprietary, readily available parts from multiple sources can restore it. Here is a thirty-five or fourty-year-old Stumpy I made electric. In the future the motor can be swapped with any universal motor, and the...

Specialized batteries are designed to be replaced every two years at $700. And you are essentially renting the bike until it is no longer supported in a planned 10 years.. Last August I rode a really nice chromo analog bike that was perfectly tuned. It was faster, much lighter to handle, and...

This should be a comedy routine. If you do not control it, you don't own it. Oh he's my dog but someone else gives it commands and the dog does not listen to me.

Double confirm that the length of the hose is correct. 100mm is about 4 inches or 4 inches = 101.6mm.

The bottom bracket is square taper. The new cranks can be either. Just offset by 90 degrees. But again the right arm is welded to the chain ring.

I was going to do that. They are cast iron. The problem is that the right one is fused to the chainring, so you need an entire crankset. If you don't want to install a new chain you need to count the number of teeth on the chainring and get one the same size. I recall it is something like 38-t...

Her bike although rated and stamped at 500W is capable of 20Amps on a 48V nominal battery. I took down the maximum amps to 18 for safety and set the temp sensor to go into limp mode 30% at 100C. Scroll down to 'A bike that doesn't exist'. 18x48=864W...

Self respecting bike shops will not let them in the door. They might contaminate the others. Mechanics won't touch them. They would rather call in sick.

Most want to pedal. I am in Petaluma in the alternate universe CA. Peta is a really big number. Luma means light. You would think it is a supper nova. But actually it means 'the place between' in Coastal Miwok. Oh, the Ewoks were named after them, dancing in the redwoods. That director has...
