There's nothing like "bad weather" it is all wrong clothing :) A relevant song! Did early British punk-rock affect you in any way, Chris? For me, Sham 69 were one of I think six or maybe fifteen British bands to inspire me most. April 1979. We were late because of the Iron Curtain. Me at...

FIVE riders are expected to start from Łódź tomorrow morning for at least a 100 km ride :) Points Of Interest: Radar Hill A tree at the road intersection, Vodka Peaceful Place Volhynia Podolia Palestine Ukraine Snail Hill Viepoint Goddess Moscow View of Łódź Heights A Russian Woman Ultra...

Just do 66 km next year, not in Turbo but on the flat :)

My Vado 6.0 as an S-Pedelec is specified with mighty TRP 4-piston brakes and 180 mm rotors. I've used semi-metallic Q20.11 brake pads for years. Last year, I discovered the P-Q12RS compatible resin pads. To my surprise, the stopping power was not affected and the brakes have been totally silent...

Heh, perhaps an American insect :) The biggest insect here, the hornet, weighs up to 0.6 gram. For your reference, the Specialized SL Range Extender battery is 1.0 kg sharp :) Did I already tell you 25.4 km makes a million inches? :) (I'm sure I did!)

I tried 63 miles for Chargeride's 63rd birthday. It felt as long as his lifetime! 😃 On the other hand, I'm pretty fond of miles. My InPost parcel locker is a mile away. My local grocery shop is two miles away. A coincidence? 😃 My favourite riding distance is a 50-miler. If I've ridden for 70...

No it is the American 😃

I do understand. My primary shifter is the XTR. The first attempt to adjust it ended with the lever flying off the shifter on my first long ride (so do not attempt doing it unless you know exactly what you're doing). The seller sent me a replacement lever later. As it took months, I used a Deore...

Steve, I can't quite understand. Are you using a 12-speed SRAM cassette with 12-speed Deore XT Di2 derailleur? Does it even work? Care to elaborate? My own experience with Di2 switch-shifter (either Deore or XTR) is negative. With the mechanical Deore XT shifter, I push a lever for downshifting...

My chimney is bigger than yours! :D

Ortlieb Pedal-Mate pannier has been specifically designed to carry your small office with you. I totally confirm what @6zfshdb said about modern panniers. I use them for grocery shopping but also on my sporty rides, like the one below. The pannier here is Ortlieb E-Mate, currently sold as...

It does not matter. Specialized has a contract with Brose, which Yamaha has to respect.

It is like you were trying to prove Bosch made e-bike motors in China (it makes them in Hungary). Brose like Bosch is an automotive company (making, e.g., car wiper drives). My Brose motor is labelled "made in Berlin, Germany". None of the Asian sites you listed reads "e-bike motors". --------...

Made in Berlin Germany.

CX means running with a road bike carried on your shoulder, that's why :)

You can bet. Did Trump or Putin ever say anything but not a lie? Poland went under the Soviet rule because when Winston tried to manage it otherwise... there was. You Chris are simply unable to understand Russia is a rotten giant on clay feet now.

So, Russian or not Russian?

The next level :) Better buy yourself a decent e-bike, Sara :) In August 2019, I was at your level. Fortunately someone kind-hearted said: "Why don't you just buy an e-bike that has been an e-bike right from the design board?" I've never regretted listening to that advice!

Are you right in your mind? This is a shadow fleet of old rotten uninsured tankers with no safety features, solely working to Russian benefit. To re-cap: Russia has not made any significant progress in Ukraine for the last 4 1/2 years Meanwhile, having had own territory invaded in Kursk...
