Still riding. We've taken a few CostCo trips, even. Currently, my bike is getting serviced. I replaced the Tektro HD-E710 brakes with Avid BB7's. I'm having the shop put the originals back on, as I just couldn't get the BB7's dialed-in. They're a great system, but my mechanical skills must not...

That's the document I keep on my computer and in my phone. However, I must be daft, at least with bleeding. Went through so much fluid when I attempted it, and the line still had air in it. More-so, actually. And the pistons still would not budge. Had to have my LBS do it. Since then, I have...

I know I'm resurrecting a dead topic, but this is a pretty dead subforum. ;) We purchased two U500's in the winter. We live in Seattle, where we got about 11" of rainfall in our first month of riding. Also, we work downtown, which is a 328-ft. gain in less than a mile. Not too steep if you're...

Fewer than 2,000. We have two of them, also, and have had them since February. We ride them everywhere, but most likely don't have 2,000 miles. We had computers on the bikes, but they were terribly inaccurate and ended up not working altogether after a couple of weeks. So I've no idea how many...

These Tektro Dorado brakes are the worst piece of equipment on this bike, and are the most important system on any bike. Just changing the pads is difficult to do, because the pistons get so stuck that you cannot get them all the way back in. I just changed the pads for the second time, and...

Thanks, Chris! Question - I've tried figuring out what would fit on these wheels, but don't exactly understand it. Even checked out Sheldon Brown's write-up on sizing. Care to explain how thin and how thick I can go so I can determine my range of what size tires to look for?

We've had our ODK U500's since the end of January, and have put several hundreds of miles on them. The front tires are beginning to show considerable wear, and will need replaced before the rainy season hits us again here in Seattle. I'd like to get a head-start on that, so I've been trying to...

Thanks for the reply, Jep! Those A2B's look almost exactly like our Willex bags, which are 52L and much more affordable. Really want to have Xtracycle bags or similar. These bags are clumsy and I have to use binder clips to keep them closed.

Hey folks! Has anyone found some good panniers for their Juiced ODKU500? We are using these panniers from Holland Bike Shop, which utilize Velcro instead of any sort of strap closure system. This means they flap open a lot. So we're trying to find something else that we can use that'll store a...
