As we change in body or mind, we must change our lifestyle. Not fun, but no one asked us whether we wanted to grow old; it just happens. Well, hang in there and do what you have to do!

Very interesting calculators! Thanks!

I just got some WTB Vulpine gravel tires put on. 700 x 40. WTB website recommends 25 to 50 psi, but I assume that is for tubeless use, and I am still running tubes. (The bike shop tech didn't think my rims were compatible with tubeless, based on the inside ridges.) The tech said he wouldn't...

He really could do sh*t on a shoestring.

Oooh, a Trekkie! Well, sort of. 🙃

By all means, STAND on those pedals. Just don't brake hard suddenly while doing it... 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🤪 I'm so glad I never bought an Alfine or Nexus. It could not withSTAND my leg power. :cool: Should I have gone into STAND-up comedy? (Don't answer that) 😌

Let us know if they cover it. My local Yamaha dealer wouldn't touch mine when I brought it in for a loose headset (which needed spacers added) and they said they no longer even had a way to select warranty repair (for reimbursement) in their Yamaha dealership software.

That is exactly the information I was looking for today. I want to change out my current CST E Series Pro tires for something that will not struggle on dirt & gravel (mostly hard packed I hope, but one never knows when a loose area might present itself). The LBS has some WTB Vulpines (not the...

I hope the Pinarello Dogma never gets run over by a Karma. 😊

It's a bad position... terrible, really... when a company decides to actually sell what consumers actually want. 🤣 US consumers want faster ebikes that have throttles. It makes good business sense for a bike company to provide them. European consumers have been conditioned to exhibit the...

Bugs are free protein. Get 'em while they're fresh! :D

Oh, well that explains why you're not using it any more. 😉

That's the thing: when they're being removed and reinstalled on a regular basis, they don't have time to weld into place from galvanic corrosion. It's when aluminum and brass are kept mated for at least a few months that they can bond to one another. I write this as a PSA for those who don't...

You speak from personal experience? :D (You walked right into that one, LOL!)

It depends on your expectations, partly. If you have owned and enjoyed riding a bicycle in the past, you might want to look for an ebike that will be of similar size and style. So for example, a lot of people seem to like their Lectric XP folding ebikes, and they're affordable (about $1000...

I used to wish some pixies would come a-visiting, but now at my age I wouldn't know what to do with them. 🙃

I can't really answer your question precisely; maybe someone else can. Although, as I understand it, LVC is generally based on voltage, and as amperes of current (electrons) flows out of the battery the voltage also gets low enough eventually to cause the cutoff to stop the flow so as to...

Thanks, I will. Should be able to tell within the next 50 or 100 miles.

Sounds like I am not going to be able to tell visually. Okay then... I'll use some anti-seize stuff or something.

I don't think I had ever tried it or paid attention to that, so I went out this evening after mowing and rode around on throttle for 15 minutes, letting the breeze cool me off. And the answer is Yes, the resonant vibration at speeds below 9-10 mph can be felt on throttle alone just the same as...
