That looks like what the local dumpling restaurant calls the Razorback - bacon, chives, a side of sour cream, and a bit of red chili sauce. Theirs are called pelmeni though I'm not sure what the exact difference is other than being smaller than pierogi.

Am I the only one who is annoyed that I have to downsize photos to sizes that were common in the 1990's just so I can upload them - only to have the forum SW resize and recompress them again to yet another size?? I get having file size limits, but I question how many cpu cycles are really...

Not sure what's available where you are but maybe FSA is easy to find. They have a 104bcd Megatooth chainring that goes up to 48t - that's what my PL Speed bike came with.

Do you have a direct mount chainring or one mounted to a spider? If you use a spider like below then you should be able put on pretty much any 104bcd chainring that fits. I can't tell you how big a change you can make with a chipped drive unit without throwing an error though. I do know...

Do you mean System 2 or gen2? I don't think any of the dynamic support modes were ever available for gen2 drive units. But they were introduced for gen4 drive units running System 2 a year or two before they started phasing in the Smart System.

That looks like a gen2 chainring, not for a gen4 bike. That would be ridiculously small on a gen4 drive unit- you would have to pedal 120 rpm just to get to 31kph on a gen4 CX in the 11t cog on the back. On a gen2, that same 120 rpm would get you to about 78kph and 90 rpm gets almost 59kph...

Assuming it's Smart System, you can change the 4 available drive modes in the Flow app. Which modes are available as choices depends on the type of bike and the OEM. Eco+ supposedly only activates assist on uphills or when the bike is under heavier load. You can find info about the...

@JGcycle Is that a boat launch in your pictures? Or maybe a public dock that has seen better days?

I got a Bulls Desert Falcon in the fall at a similar price with the same drive unit. Very good fit and finish, and the gen4 drive unit should be supported for quite a while given that gen5 just came out this spring. Batteries for System 2 bikes might become scarce in a couple years but are...

Those are the Olympics out on the peninsula to our west. The only peak from the Cascades visible from the waterfront is Mt Baker(on clear days) up to the north-northeast due to its prominence. Yep. Saw them returning a few strays on one of my rides earlier this spring.

Are you asking, or placing ads in the form of a question? I seriously doubt those 2 specific bikes are recommended by all the publications mentioned as top choices for commuting.

Flowers, ferry and freight train at the usual spot downtown yesterday.

Dengfu makes carbon frames for Bafang drive units. https://www.dengfubike.com/collections/carbon-bike-frame/products/e14-frame The real question is if they are available and reasonable in the current environment.

Did I mention that it comes with a rubber sheath to protect the tool?

Good info. I've been considering the presta version with the multi tool that slips inside.

Thank you for posting this, Matt's knowledge and viewpoint will be missed for sure.

It shouldn't need to - since they advertise it as an option (but dont sell it in this market) - that indicates the flag is set to allow it in the factory config.

I don't think the bike you describe is really available yet in the US. There are rumors about upcoming gravel bikes with the DJi Avinox motor. That motor should be plenty powerful for you and is lighter than all the other full power drives. Their emtb, Amflow, is only 43lbs with a 600wh...

Much like cars and gas, eggs have different requirements in Cali which leads to west coast prices generally being higher. USDA weekly egg report https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3725.pdf One of my kid's classmates has been stocking the school's leave something/take something room (food...

My bell broke about a year ago and I didn't bother replacing it - ineffective for the 80% that are wearing earbuds and anyways in passive aggressive Seattle most people (including me) interpret all but the happiest bells as 'Coming through, get out of my way!' I call out 'coming by on your...
