    Crash today on black ice

    Progress report: shoulder still hurts a bit but getting there. Bike on the other side is still in the shop after 6 months! Bent right pedal crank, 3 broken spokes and a broken rear axle. The axle is where the problem is. Bike has an enviolo gear system and enviolo has been bad at providing a...

    Studded tire

    Kahvas is 2.1-in. wide. It is going to rub against the fenders I was told by Priority. Could remove the front fender but not the back (integrated light). Gravdals does not exist in 2in for 27.5in tires

    Studded tire

    There is $95 version if you scroll the menu. That's what I would buy. The main issue for me is that I have uneven conditions on my commute because I gain quite a bit of elevation and some parts of the route are more wet and ice prone than others. So even on a no-ice day where I live, there may...

    Studded tire

    Hello there, After a recent crash on black ice, my quest for proper studded tires has begun. I have a Priority Current ebike (60lbs with all gear on) current equipped with Goodyear Transit Tour 650b 50mm tires. I can't go above a 50mm/2in width for the tires, which severely limits my choice...

    Crash today on black ice

    My injury does not look as bad. Looks like only the AC joint took a hit, no bone fractures. Yeah need to be out and about early for work commute (video shows 8:30a but it was 7:30a) and it was about 35F outside. Next time I will be prepared with studed tires.

    Crash today on black ice

    Good idea. Especially for days with uneven icy road conditions. Yesterday I should not have ridden (was too eager after a week and a half without riding because i had to wait for a new battery). Went back home, took the car to go to work and almost had a car crash!

    Adding overlay and multiple angles with Openshot video editor and Garmin VIRB edit

    I have two Fly 6 cameras on my ebike, front and rear, and wanted to combine the two video outputs and add some overlay (from a .gpx file obtained by running Strava on my iphone). This is the result: To get there was not easy but also not too hard. Several issues came along with the Cycliq...

    A short guide to battery and electrical characteristics (A, V, W, Ah, Wh) and how to use them

    This is what I figured after some readings (would gladly get corrected if I got something wrong). To summarize what the different battery characteristics look like when the battery is discharging (reverse arrows for charging), it helps to look at what happens to water in two leveled buckets...

    Good gears for the rainy days

    Alright. Will report if things change in colder weather. I was concerned that I would be sweaty with the rain pants, but no. Very comfy and breathes well

    Using Fly6 cameras on front and back, possible?

    I have just bought a Fly6 camera. I bought it because of the form factor and the incident detect function. I will turn off the light function Is it possible to use two Fly6 cameras simultaneously on a bike ? Does the software let you do that? I would put another on the head tube (discreet and...

    Good gears for the rainy days

    It is only the first rainy ride but so far things are holding up. I also have a Rotlitch light and a Bondrager ION pro RT and they worked fine. Carbon Belt Drive and Enviolo for transmission and gears so weatherproofed
