Nice diagnosis!

That’s a good question. It could be the picture, but the rear rack looks like it’s bolted to the suspension linkage. What’s up with that? It seems “wrong” to me, but I’d have to see it up close and personal to understand what they’ve done there. Those racks are pretty damn cool though.

Hey, Jeff, do you carry stuff in your panniers on your rides? Those panniers seem kinda chunky for the length of the scenic rides you do. Just curious. I mean, I have a rear rack on my bike which I have never used, but the fender mounts to it and one day I had hoped to carry a spare battery...

Well keep your eyes open for an e-bike ad. Would be interesting to know if the European sales folks think TV advertising is worth it there.

Yeah, definitely we have access to all the information on the internet as the primary source for gathering info, but it is/was interesting for me to start seeing e-bike brand ads on streaming TV. It’s either Roku, Hulu, Prime, or Tubi where I’ve started seeing them. I imagine that that’s...

Sandy, what an awesome trail to ride! My Fättie woulod eat that up. Yeah, like Rás said, keep us posted!

It’s kind of neat to be seeing e-bike ads (streaming) on TV. That’s a new one on me. I’m trying to recall which brands I’ve seen advertising — so I guess the ads aren’t that effective — but I can certainly tell you that I’d rather see these than the ubiquitous drug ads that plague the channels...

Yah. Same here. To me, sitting around with a great (potential) bike while waiting for the laws to settle seems very frustrating. But then again, I live where there is no significant problem and very little enforcement to begin wtih.

What a strange bug/gremlin. Does the display have a coin battery, gang? Maybe it's dead? The loss of the clock sounds like it might be due to that. No idea if that has anything to do with the unintended power-on. Very odd. Cheers.

I miss Marin! Looks great, @mschwett

Indeed. True life is always stranger than fiction.

They really were everywhere.

I get the joke, but that’s a brain-dead idea anywhere (including Texas).

Good luck with your choices, cyber. Definitely keep riding!!!

People love to do stupid things to themselves. Fine with me. Just don’t do it in any way that makes me a passive participant. Personally, I dislike the smell of cigarettes but enjoy pipe smoke (tobacco, that is). There’s very little pipe smoking going on these days, I also like to smoke a...

FYI, I charge mine in my fireplace. Don’t know if that’s an option for you. Thought I’d mention...

I’ve been banging the crap out of my iPhone 13 mini (which admittedly is a tough little beast) with a solid mount to my handlebar. I do have a front fork and fat tires so the impact is reduced, but I haven’t had any problems (yet). But, fair enough on all the comments! I used to keep it...

How’d it go, @EMGX? Do you have a voltage readout anywhere while you’re riding. You can tell a lot from that as you’re riding. Cheers.

Lithium phosphate sounded really good when I read about it. Thanks.

I’ve been looking into marine applications of electric (battery) power. Of course, almost all large ships use electric motors, but I was more interested in personal water craft. Anyway, I started reading about “deep cycle” AGM (glass mat), which is some tech that I previously knew nothing...
