    DIY Ramp to get bike into back of SUV?

    I normally ride off from home, but once in a while I'd like to haul my bike to a different location to ride. For reasons, I don't want to buy a rack. The bike weighs 50 some pounds, so it's liftable, but awkward. I'm concerned that brute-forcing it into the back I would end up damaging...

    Is my chain guard supposed to be attached at the point shown in the picture? If so, how?

    Had to change a flat on the back tire of my Ultimate T10+ today. At some point I noticed that the chain guard was not attached where shown (it's the bottom of the chain guard). Did I knock it loose or is it normally not attached there? If it is supposed to be attached, what is the attachment...

    Is Battery Theft Really a Thing?
