    Thank you Steve. I think I’ve been on the couch all the time but that’s not true as I have been trying to stay in shape by regulars walks. I have been riding my Vado this spring but not out in the countryside as I want to and I haven’t felt I’ve had anything for the forum. The whole pandemic...

    Thank you, yes it’s Apex. This is all new to me but shifting seems to work just fine. I would have liked adjustable reach for the levers but it’s ok.

    This is weird right? I now have an unplugged alternative to my Vado. Still love the Vado but wanted something more ”grab and go” I now have developed a special interest for tailwind. Diverge Base Carbon

    3/14. The perfect tire pressure! 🙄

    I fully agree and I need to experiment more. My original post was just to ”activate” myself a little bit on this grey and not so cycling inviting pi-day.

    3/14. The perfect tire pressure! 🙄

    I’ll take your rear tire pressure as proof of my pi-day theory 😊 To be more serious I need to experiment more with tire pressure. This far I’ve played it safe and read what it says on the tire And kept pressure ”safely” above minimum.

    3/14. The perfect tire pressure! 🙄

    I generally measure my tire pressure in Bar ( but my floor pump shows psi as well) Today I realized that the perfect pressure in Bar must be 3.141592653589793 I’m sure this will make my wheels as circular as possible for smooth fast riding Happy pi-day! 😄 I’ve memorized 15 decimals as I’ve read...

    Yes, it’s an art display. The tree is not a living tree, it’s a big tall stump. Often with art you have a hard time to get an explanation of what the artist meant - you have to go with ”in the eye of the beholder”. In this case, the carved fire extinguisher, there is a very detailed description...

    My bike has been in the basement since Christmas. I don’t ride in winter if there is snow and ice but it’s been warm for a couple of days and I will ride tomorrow or Friday. Pictures from today’s walk.

    How fast are people riding?

    My EU restricted Vado has had the wheel circumference adjusted in software so top speed is now 28-29 kph (17.5mph) I often ride near that limit if traffic situation allows. Been thinking of getting Planet 3 conversion to be able to ride a little faster on open roads. I think 35kph would be...

    The Shelves Are Bare

    Shimano offers 25 different groupset (road and mtb). Sram probably the same amount. Schwalbe has over 80 different tires and several of them are then available ( well , maybe) in different varieties. Add to that all different sizes. How many different e-bike brands are sold in US or over the...
