Always love seeing your water shots, JG!

Hope your bike gets fixed up quick, Rab!

Nice update on the drivetrains, guys. Thanks for keeping us posted, Rás.

Wow, Charge… That’s a monster! Again, seems like you used good judgement on the really tricky parts (as in not to ride them)!

Interesting stuff, guys. Oh, sorry, I’m confused. Is the Giant Stormguard a Yamaha bike rebranded, Marcela? In any case, I was just trying to say that Stormguard is a nice bike!

How are you enjoying your fatty, @GMA52 . I keep lovin’ mine! Cheers from New England.

Wow. Why would anyone be ashamed to own one of those? :) Looks like a really nice bike, Marcela. Giant is a winner, as I watch @RabH continue to put amazing mileage on his road bike. Do you know why Yamaha is stopping shipment? Your post was the first I’d read about that.

Was it all downhill, Charge? No thanks on the rutty descent. Yikes!!! I think you were smart to avoid that.

Hey, that’s a really nice cap, Jeremy, but the adjustment clip and the brim would probably not work well under my helmet. Anyway, looks really nice. Heck, I’d wear that for pretty much anything else.

Pedal, do you have a link for those?

Not sure how ferry ride is, Rab, but this idea has always intrigued me. Having said that, I probably wouldn’t use one of these on open water. Still, these “shuttle bike” kits can be carried in a backpack and they look like fun!

The tech wars continue… The Gobao is interesting because you can use it with a “shifter” if you want to. I don’t know if any of the competition offer that. Having the ability to shift (even if it’s not gears)n would potentially make it palatable to a guy like me. CVTs in cars nauseate me...

From my turn-around point on my usual 20mi round-tripper. My friend, Matt, joined me with his crazy-light Specialized analog road bike, proving yet again that riding the rail trail around here can be done on skinny tires. But, yeah, I didn’t drag him to any of the single tracks I often take. :)

Welcome aboard, @pem ! I am enjoying following your ride through Rick’s posts. Please keep us apprised.

I’d have a look at Aventon Current. No personal experience, but I’ve been very impressed with Aventon’s tech as of late.

I did this on the stock brakes and the piston popped right out of the cylinder. My brake bleed kit came with a plastic piece to put in the slot where the rotor goes if you’re bleeding without the rotor, so I kind of learned the hard way. :) I’m not sure what you’re describing about the lever...

Wonderful story, PedalUma! Prospero sounds great. I can’t recall, did you show any pictures of it?

Wow. That’s something else!

In winter, if it’s cold, I wear a watch cap or balaclava under the helmet. In summer, I wear a cotton cycling cap which (as Stefan mentioned) is really just for sweat.

Great! Good luck, olbriar. Brake upgrades are almost always a good idea if you don’t mine the expense! The information about the 2022 model’s original brakes is available in one of manuals which I can dig up if you like, but the pads were common and compatible with a standard Shimano pad, I...
