A person can buy material for thicker brake pads, I have yet to see any thin enough for the bike pads. Somebody is making a killing on these things. I am coming up on needing a set. Anybody find any thin enough for our pads?

Not an ebike, and couldn't find the thread, someone was asking about riding with no hands and I was trying to explain the geometry. This pic is of a bike from the 70s. Note the front fork and the amount of distance the axle is ahead of the head stock bearings. With a setup like this you could...

I look at the ebike market as similar to the automobile. In it's infancy. Somewhere, somehow, hot rodding ebikes for more power, speed, whatever, I would expect to take place. And maybe it already is, I just don't see it. I think bigger hub motors as replacements would be a start.

What's the hot ticket in the cargo bike arena nowadays? Things must have evolved enough with enough inventory some have probably ridden more than one brand/type, what impressed you or which did you prefer? Lets say you want to carry a 40# bag of bird seed. Cargo to the front or rear, doesn't...

Think I’ll wait for the price to come down.

Or a box bike.

Anyone make a Class 2 dual hub drive without the pedal drive train, no chain or belt, just pegs. With full suspension. Just a 20 mph electric bike with suspension. No pedaling illusions about it. Or maybe it's not legal. Probably not the right place to post this. Permission granted to...

How about a post count under the user name. This can be an indicator of how long the person has been around, or if the one posting is stirring the pot. Kind of a self regulating indicator and can also help the moderators when other users are able to report something.

I was shopping youtube and came across this title for a video producer. Appears well done and informative. Compares different countries and the hindrances to efficient infrastructure. Lot of examples of the Danes and Amsterdam and Canada and U.S. I have no connection to them just thought...

Delving into candlemaking using beeswax. Appears to be more to it than appears; sizing of the wick and pour temperature being important. Small outlay for the materials and equipment, the wax I've found to be about 30% of the price at the stores for candles. Then there's the topic of making...

Anybody read the book or watched the youtube video? Pretty interesting stuff, the book is much more detailed than the video. Referred to the Tour de France riders using this information to recoup and regenerate.

Thought what could be more appropriate than discussion about bidets with our international friends, from the toilet paper community. i am researching and considering the installation of one. Ran across this quote from Rolling Stones magazine. "It’s shown me the difference between rubbing...

Hello all, contemplating the purchase of the Como. I'm right on the cusp of between the two sizes. When I input the data at Specialized website it says size L, when I look at the Como suggested sizing it says XL. Either a M/L or XL are the choices. Don't want to be too cramped on the leg...

Hello, curious as to the process of installing the extra battery on either the Como or Vado cross tube. Can't find any info on Spesh website, the 604 Wh battery appears to be out of stock about everywhere fyi. Can't find the extra battery or info on their website. Something a diy'er can...

Hello, bought a Vado 5.0. Came with the 2A charger, their website spec'd a 4A charger so went back to the LBS and they switched it out for a 4A. With the 2A it of course was slower charging, the display lights up immediately with the % charge and local time. With the 4A, there is a delay...
