    Six pawl free hub

    Been noting some play or increased take up on my BBS02 conversion. Would a six pawl freehub improve this situation?

    Wonder when these will be available?

    This looks quite interesting. Wonder how good it will be on hills? https://insideevs.com/news/595924/bafang-3speed-automatic-gear-hub/

    So who has maxe their own battery packs?

    I have been studying You Tube videos on pack building and have a vague overview on the basic points. Paying $900 for a high capacity pack seems kind of outrageous and it is obviously where a good bit of the profit comes from for ebike kit suppliers. IIRC, my 48v, 20 ah pack with 21700 cells...

    So who has had a down tube mounted battery stolen?

    Just curious how it was done and how much of a threat it actually is? Pryed off the tube with a wonder bar?

    Older, quality donor bikes.....

    Was browsing craigslist and noticed some smoking deals on some older Trek and Specialized bikes. These i think are more likely to have compatible bottom brackets for Bafang mid drive set ups, though you may have to settle for caliper style brakes. Could save many hundreds by buying used.

    Chuckling......

    There is going to be trouble......chukling and shaking my head at the court. Why now? Last thing we needed. I am suspicious of the motive.

    Worth having a spare display?

    Just wondered how often these fail? I have a DPC 14 and it has worked quite well so far. But with the supply chain issues and so on I don't want to be left in the lurch. Perhaps a better question would be what electronic parts do you keep spares of?

    Basil design sport mik utility trunk

    Is arriving today and i'm excited. I will be able to carry my lock and cable without a packpack and i will also be able to remove the battery and take it with me in the mik trunk. It is made by a Dutch company so I expect a well thought out product. Will post a picture when it arrives.

    Adding a front suspension

    Thinking about this. Just for comfort, not performance on challenging terrain. Will it fit my headset and will my disk brake work with it...

    This is just bizarre......

    https://usa.streetsblog.org/2022/06/14/study-black-cyclists-die-4-5x-more-often-than-white-riders/ Did not delve into the article because i had my suspicions about where it was leading.

    I am getting exercise :-)

    So very pleased with my e bike! In addition to getting exercise, i have learned much about the mechanics of bicycles. All the years i spent riding as a youth and this last month i have multiplied my knowledge ten fold. I could always fix a flat or tighten a wheel bearing or headset, even true...

    About the cassette?

    Having never fooled with one i have a question. Can i remove the two or three largest spockets, reinstall the cassette and use a spacer on the outboard side to make up the difference? This would help with chain alignment and i don't need or use those low gear cogs anyway.

    Chain length

    The large chain ring on my Trek Verve three was 46t. I replaced it with a 44t and left the chain in it's original length ( thinking because there was a smaller front sprocket it should'nt matter ). I also missed the master link and broke and reassembled the chain with a chain breaker. Been...

    E bike for wifey.

    She is going to need one in order to ride with me. She likes the classic/cruiser style so one of those " townie" bikes would probably be perfect. Not sure I could find a suitable donor bike, step through, disk brakes, bottom bracket able to take a BBS02 without trouble. Going to take some...

    Aging (not for the feint of heart).......

    40 years ago i herniated a disk doing a stupid strongman move of lifting a heavy rototiller out of the back of the station wagon (remeber those)? That injury flares up regularly and i need valium to ease the muscle spasms. About 10 years back i was diagnosed with Multi Focal Motor Neuropathy...
