Good on you! No need to "switch." Ride both!

Thanks @RunForTheHills . I found my receipt from SJS, April 2020 "Busch & Muller Lumotec IQ2 Eyc E 50 Lux E-Bike Headlight" Doesn't say "IQ" anywhere on the light housing so thought that was a newer model. The non-conventional order on which they print 42/6 is on the housing is a little...

I have this 7 year old B+M Lumotec headlight and on the side I thought it was indicating Eyc 42 model that runs on 6 volts. Now after websearching I'm not positive but am thinking I'm mistaken, that this is an Eyc model indicating it is good for 6V to 42V. I initially installed this on a...

After getting an axle plate and a shifter box from VPL, the US distributor for 3x3, and a few small orders of spacers and such, I've come up with what I think is going to be a solution for getting this hub mounted the the Yuba Mondo EP8. This is an adaptation using a Rohloff torque arm. I'm...

That's a wheelie monster!

For what it's worth my first mountain bike in 1986-ish was a Marin Palisades Trail, named after the trail in Napa, a close neighbor to Cane Creek separated by Sonoma Mountain. Our household has had a Larkspur, Mount Vision, and Kentfield, all named after local landmarks. I agree with you, it's...

Being a Nor Cal native I'd love for that to be true, but the name came from Cave Creek Park in North Carolina, a little ways from where the company is headquartered.

All fine! This entire Nexus Felt like the right next STEPS. I was Jones'n for a new Look anyway!

It's 4 AM, a good time to post an epilogue to this thread... I got the call to come in to work at 11 pm to backfill for a sickie on the overnight shift. When I woke up from my nap at 10 pm, it was raining steady. As I headed out the front door, AccuWeather predicted there were five or so...

Hey-O! My latest display, a Shimano SC7000, doesn't have a dedicated headlight button. Supposedly Shimano has a way to turn on the headlight by long-pressing the "assist up" aka the Y button, according to various sources. When I plug in my laptop and run e-Tube software, there is no dropdown...

This is why I was hesitant to pull the motor (again!) to replace the brake line. It's just a rats nest of cables, any one of which can be pinched during reinstallation if care isn't used. First time I opened this, from the assembly line, it looked terrible! And in fact, I was just reading...

Ok, lights connected, rack and fenders mounted, enough to introduce this bike to my commute. I gave up my anodized orange pedals for these Look Geo City Vision pedals I got for a decent price on eBay. I commute home at 11 pm so want to be as visible as possible, and these pedals are bright...

lol and a banana stand, nicely apportioned!

The most important thing is now you've got a bike to tow your Rad, or vice versa. Here's to keeping the N + 1 rule alive! 😉🍻🥳

😃😆😘 That's awesome! Chef's kiss... Have you ever noticed that your stuff tends to last a long time while other people you know break their things? Usually because it seems like they've done something ham fisted or clumsy? Or they just proclaim, "'cause it's junk!" But instead, have you ever...

I can see the value in it. As a long time Rohloff Speedhub rider (non-electric), a common complaint by newbies is that they can't shift under load. There's a technique I call "burping the pedals" and some riders just aren't down with it. I built a pit bike using a SRAM Spectro 7 (also analog)...

Tru Dat! The city recently posted on Facebook that a new bike share station was up and running. We already have a hundred locations, so this is nothing new -- these are Lyft bikes / "Baywheels" so some are electric-assist but most are plain-Jane pedal bikes. First reply was some old lady (I...

I've got a 3x3 NINE on my project list for a cargo bike. Was going to transfer my Speedhub over and got surprised by the 142x12 thru axle. Doh! I'm working through torque arm issues because Yuba played shenanigans with the rear brake mount dimensions, so the stock kit won't quite mesh with this...

Is that the BF02?

You know even if it's only supplies for one, I appreciate the plentiful storage space that doesn't require a ton of creative repacking. This is what I consider an extremely modest Costco run for a household of five, and a big 'ol tote would make this much easier. I mean, just imagine adding...
