    DJI vs Bosch vs Pinion: Unbelievable Difference!!

    I looked around for solutions for a few hours on vacation & gave up. Still haven't been able to get it working again since I've been home. Probably need to open a support ticket, but snooze. Even if I can get it working again, I can't live with the idea that this could happen to my bike. I...

    DJI vs Bosch vs Pinion: Unbelievable Difference!!

    I'll be sitting out on the DJI stuff. My DJI drone no longer flies due to some software disagreement between Play store and DJI. App just shut down. No replacement. They lost my business forever with that move.

    Tubeless or Mr Tuffy and sealant in tube for goatheads?

    We have awful goat's heads here. I've tried it all. Stans / Orange Seal & tubeless for the win - hands down. I've had several tubeless tires leak through the sidewalls - never been an issue. Sealant in tubes does not work near as well as tubeless IME.

    Amazing deals at Yamaha currently

    Curiously low prices. I don't see how they're making any money on these - especially considering the extra battery. These have nice parts on them too. I'm super temped to order one, but I have this sinking feeling there's a reason for the fire sale. Are the batteries suspect? I noticed you...

    Lower priced e bike

    If you're just going to putz around the neighborhood a few times a year, sure, it'll probably be fine. I wouldn't rely on it to take me anywhere though. Definitely wouldn't count on it to get me back home. At the very least, I'd want to go through every part on it & make sure it's not going...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I never say where we're going. They don't usually realize where we are 'till there are all sorts of airplanes a few feet away. I live in the neighborhood - get a fair amount of F-15, 16 traffic at times - makes a helluva racket. Sometimes they park 'em up by the restaurant. I need to take...

    Yep - my favorite restaurant in the metro. And it's easy bikeshot. It's just soooooooooo cool. And the food ain't bad either. I do happy hour up there with some pals now & again. Dinner when friends come in and wanna do something different. They're always blown away.

    I'd get out there on a motard. It's at Centennial airport. I don't know when they whipped it back into shape, but it was looking rough not even a year ago - figured I'd never see it in action.

    When was the last time You listened to a record album?

    I still have a copy of this. Don't listen to it much, but it has seen a lot of use. It made the rounds in hi-fi circles. Not a vinyl person myself, but have heard a lot of nice setups. I wouldn't consider vinyl to superior in any way to a good digital setup, other than the nostalgia &...

    Was riding around & heard what sounded like karts. There's this old track over by the airport that hasn't been used in forever - can't be that can it? Looks like it can - they re-opened the track!

    Not buying Specialized ebikes again.

    I've had the same experience with Trek. Reported an increase in the vibration at certain motor speeds and loads, but 2 shops said they could not reproduce it. When I finally got a hold of someone at corporate, they bounced me back to the shops & weren't nice about it. Seems their tactic is...

    First Flat!

    If it's nice & sunny where you live, let the tire sit in the Sun for a while. It's a little easier when it's nice & soft.

    Shimmy developed

    Rake matters, but that's something that's difficult to change. There are headsets that can alter head tube angles a little bit, or you could use a different fork. Would it do anything to change the resonance? Who knows? A steering damper would help, but I don't know anyone who makes those...

    Weight on the rear was my 1st though as well. If you can move some of that weight in front of the rear axle, it might help.
