    Slow forum lately and I thought the vids were entertaining and relevant in regards to lithium battery construction techniques and the need for low temp shutoffs. This is the second time someone on this forum has told me I'm off topic or posted something irrelevant. I should probably take the hint.

    For you battery geeks. I first saw this guy's vids last year when I was researching lithium motorhome batteries. He talked, and talked and talked some more (ever notice how youtube people just love to talk?) about electrical theory and he didn't impress me a whole lot. But now he's slicing...

    I was on US Forest Service land the other day and someone stopped me to ask if my bike was an ebike. He was nice about it but told me I had to stick to motorized areas. We talked a bit and he said the recent Nat. Parks ruling that permits ebikes doesn't apply to the US Forest Service because...

    Since you're being so serious, I will too. Item 1: It was a joke Item 2: You'll notice that I rephrased what you said to owned a calculator or tape measure or been married? I didn't say anything about owning a spouse. Item 3: It was a joke

    Really? You've never owned a calculator or a tape measure or been married?

    I have the utmost confidence in your ability to come up with something. lol <--- friendly jest (in case it isn't obvious)

    I thought about Kevcentral saying that too. lol How does the fact that we bought pre-orders enter into this? They were/are still working bugs out. The odometer/speedo bug is annoying but we did save money by buying a 'work in progress'. Just speaking for myself, I'd buy it again. Either...

    If you lay the bike on it's side when it's folded, you're going to lay it on the deraileur side not the handlebar side. Have you oiled your chain recently? It shouldn't contact anything but it will. Some cardboard or a tarp will save your backseat or carpet.

    What I don't like about it is having to break out my phone when my vehicle already has an odometer. I should be able to just use it. Also, I don't have extra grey cells laying around lol. How many miles was that to the store, 8? No, it was 8 on the odometer, which means it's really 10. No...

    I have a hunch smaller tires = less gyroscope effect. (I'm probably not using the term correctly)

    I did what is for me a long run today. 8.4 miles on the odometer getting there, and 8.4 coming back. My plan was pas 2 heading out and if my energy bar was happy, pas 3 on the return. Another newb lesson. The human body makes a pretty good sail. I was heading into a stiff wind coming back...

    Oh my aching ass. I've ordered my butt to get it's act together because we're going out to breakfast tomorrow. 9 miles each way. But 150 in a weekend? I can't even imagine. lol

    The thing I've never understood about Slime is if there is no serious downside to installing it, then why don't tire manufacturers install it and market their tires as flat-proof?

    Doomsday - I wish you would dial it down a little. People who are confrontational online exhibit zero courage and zero character.

    Yesterday my bike started refusing to downshift lower than 5th. Good video. Apparently this stuff isn't that hard. I managed to fix the problem and now it shifts like it's supposed to. First derailleur adjustment so take this with about 100 grains of salt, and please correct me if I'm wrong...

    Where's My XP?

    If this thread were a living thing I'd say it's on it's deathbed. Pretty soon it's "Hey I got mine in 3 days, how about you?". "Same" "Yeah but mine is black" "Same" "Yeah but I'm on the east coast" "Dude I'm in Tahiti" "Oh"
