Cool. That is great information @Nvreloader ! After I use FlatOut I clean the inside of the stem with Qtips and then use silicone grease inside the stem before reinstalling the core. It prevents the FlatOut from clogging the valve open.

It looks like she is doing over 120 miles today. And with higher speeds.

Terra the little person picked up her bike today. She arrived with her husband at 11 this morning. He did not tell her so it was a surprise. They left at 1:30. We went over the bike then went on a big test ride in the hills. She kept crying. She was able to out-climb her cyclist husband on his...

I experienced those in Joshua Tree. Nasty effers. It seemed like an evolutionary strategy. It is almost as if they want to kill you and use your rotting body to feed their babies.

She is crossing from W. Virginia in to PA now. https://trackleaders.com/gawr26i.php?name=Patrice_McDonald

On dirait du pain grillé brûlé. It is toast.

I was rolling one down a hall after testing it in the stand. It leapt up in into the air, climbed a wall, and flipped back on me. My instinct was to hold on tighter but that was what was making the throttle twist more as it went higher.

@teskow, How about jumping cholla? If you give it the side eye, it will jump and attack.

Yes, it could be. It is a lot like the ISM Touring saddle. It was there when the bike came in. I had to go with a 7Ah 36V battery to make it fit. I used a section of an accessory extender to mount the display. There was no other place to put it. Edit: The saddle has a blue logo on the back that...

Do you know where you cannot get a Tannus? You can't get a Tannus where the sun don't shine. @Marcela, Thorns are migrating north.

Pedaling East Days 70, 71 & 72 on the Modified GAWR August 12-14 - Columbus to Massillon, Ohio Patrice McDonald Aug 14, 2026 Tonight, I am in Massillon, Ohio. I forgot where I slept last night. Oh yes, it was Millersburg, Ohio and before that it was Mount Vernon, Ohio and before that it was...

This is the place for eBike builders and mechanics who are doing innovative things to share and support each other. So, I will kick it off: There is a problem with twist throttles. Unlike a gas motorcycle an eBike can be On and not make any sound. If you are walking the bike and it is On, your...

What it is, is creative genius X playfulness. I am taking a 13-week seminar on creativity. The only problem is that I am required to write 250 pages by hand. Three pages per day, and attend weekly sessions that last 1.5 hours each. And read 245 pages. That is the equivalent of half of a...

Êtes-vous au Québec, où ils salent les routes ?

I finished this one yesterday. It is going to a little person. She can barely stand over it. It is so she can keep up with her cyclist husband. Those are 24" tires a second grader might have.

A few years ago there was a bike shop downtown that had my bikes on consignment. One of those bikes I got for fee, converted and sold it for $2050 the next day. The key to that was the woven basket up front with fake flowers from the dollar store! It was a single speed coaster brake bike. I ran...

Is it from addlerall?

What I admire is the wheel builder's skill in lacing the front wheel. It is a true mullet with all business up front but with a party in the rear.

It is alkali, salt, and grit. But there is an added ingredient, that is the microbes that have evolved to eat metals. After one week most bikes don't make it out alive. Thousands are abandoned each year. I wouldn't go if I got paid $10,000 and was given free tickets. Just about everyone there is...

But it has only been to Burning Man five times! And only two of them were the rain years.
