    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    Nice Ebike! My personal favorites are Raceface Chester pedals (on 3 bikes) , Ergon GS1 grips ( on my FS bike ), Serfas RX saddle (on all 4 bikes).

    I saw that wolf for sale in a Costco. It is huge! Where do you keep it the rest of the year ? I guess next to your enormous Easter Bunny and gigantic Minion Snowman...

    Ouch! That is a nice looking bike you have there and it looks like new. But I thought Haibike had pulled out of North America years ago?

    Question: If the back wheel goes sideways in an emergency stop ,which brake am I pulling too hard? I have been told different things by different people. Some say 50/50 braking pressure and some say 60/40 front /back and some say 60/40 back /front ?

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    It took me a long time to convince my wife to get rid of the handlebar mirror and switch to the Take a Look " compact " eyeglass mirror but now she would never go back. The field of vision is exponentially greater and you can easily pan behind you with a slight turn of the head.

    You will surely enjoy the mid drive experience once get used to really using your gears more on hills and weaning yourself off the throttle. I started with a hub motor bike but now I am picking up my fourth mid-drive on Sunday. Kudos to you for trying to go with a beautiful super light bike...

    Which of these 3 bikes would you make better use of:

    Bike 1: Tern GSD with Bike 2: Bulls Iconic evo TR 1 . Bike 3: Moustache Weekend dual eq ? Do not use cost as a factor .

    Share a recent frustrating experience that made you want to switch bikes!

    Ya there is no substitute for power. I am used to a Bosch CX now and I could not pull the trigger on a new bike with a smaller motor.

    Share a recent frustrating experience that made you want to switch bikes!

    When I was a teen I borrowed my uncles high quality ten speed ( without permission) to cycle out to New Westminster with my friends in search of firecrackers . We had no luck so we headed to Surrey over the Patullo bridge. On the approach to the bridge I managed to get the front wheel wedged...

    Bike tires? Puncture proof? Skid proof?

    No not from our own tires. I would never let my tires wear down that far before chainging them.

    Bike tires? Puncture proof? Skid proof?

    Well the last time I looked they did not make them in 27.5" which I have on one bike so there is no choice there.

    Well my Bosch CX motor finally gave up the ghost at 43000 kms so I am treating it to a heart transplant. When I get it back from the shop it will show less than 1 km and have a 2 year warranty. I only hope I can put another 43k on that bike before I have to hang up my Fivetens. It was moaning...

    I get the crazy thought that the bear had previously been fed by somebody and it was looking for a handout? It looked like it went toward the kid and was sniffing for food. The kid is holding his right arm in the air and the bear might have seen that as a feeding gesture. People have been known...
