    OH, To Be 50 Again

    Quick & Cheap Stand For Chain Maintenance

    Only place I can hang this bike in a regular stand is by the seat post and it's a dropper plus I don't want to put stress on the carbon frame so .... The white stuff is the fuzzy side of vercro strips to protect the bike's finish.

    I Fear We Could Be Near Prolonged Massive Disruption in Trade With Mainland China

    I've alluded to this a few times in other threads. Our relationship with China continues to degrade. Many will surely want to go into the politics of it all but really I don't care. If I was presently wanting to get into e-biking I'd stick to Giant ( Taiwan ) or .... yeah, Or what? We've all...

    I Want A Rear Wheel Holding Stand/Support With Rollers

    I know there is such a thing to turn your bike into a stationary exercise bike but those have to hook up to your axle I believe and I don't want to mess with that. I just want to be able to prop the bike up and be able to turn the crank by hand for chain cleaning and lube. There would have to...

    You Cannot Buy A Brooks Bicycle Seat

    I'd like to say 'No Politics' but .... The western WORLD has gone crazy for biking and the foremost maker of bike seats can't make bike seats. WT living F? Maybe I'm in the dark and there is some reasonable understandable process at work here I am not aware of but ... are there no...

    Do You Have One of These?

    I find it a great comfort in cold weather while passively enjoying ebike things here on the inter webs. And now in warm weather a great incentive to get the nether regions dried out in the morning by actually going out and getting on the bike. 🤣 👍

    Confused No Longer Over Full Suspension Bike Settings

    So Far I've simply adjusted my shocks and forks to basically a 'medium' setting and hoped for the best. From watching other videos discussing sag, compression and rebound I did grasp the sag setting but the others were still mostly a mystery. Well ... no longer. Thanks to someone around here...

    Hydra ! My Turn

    Rain Clouds not withstanding it was now or never. (so to speak) I'm not fond of long drives ( 4 hours is long to me ) but a new bike is pretty good incentive. It was a 4 cigar drive culminating with 20 minutes on the San Antonio Death Loop. That's 1604 that circles the outer bounds of the...

    The Ole Hand Squeeze Tire Pressure Gauge

    I confess to almost never using an actual pressure gauge on any bike tire since I gave up road bikes 30 years ago. I pump up my MTB tires until with both thumbs I can just make about a 1/4 inch dent in my tire with my fingers grasping the rim. ( I have pretty strong clod buster type hands. )...

    Which Are The Toughest Tires?

    I need some super tough tires. I want to start exploring some really rugged jeep trails we have on the ranch. The Maxis Recons I have on now seem to be doing OK on the ranch main roads I've used them on so far but I'm about to go hard core. This is very rocky country here in SW Texas. Even...

    Query Regarding Selle Bike Seats

    I need a better bike seat. The Selle brand looks quite good. My sit bones are average for a largish but fairly lean human of 6' 2" construction but I want a longer saddle. I tend to shift my position forward or back depending on how I use my GP 5 grips. I keep my horns upright and when my...

    What Will A Cold War With China Mean To Ebike Industry ?

    Please. I don’t care about or subscribe to this author’s politics. He’s not on the ‘in power’ team but many think we are indeed going into full scale Cold War with China. Makes me wonder how much Taiwan can ramp up production...
