    Australian Army goes ebike

    I don't think the apc is noted for stealth; it would be a likely scenario that they could deploy the bikes (and soldiers) from one of these. That might be what they're hinting at. I was wrong, it's a relatively new reconnaissance vehicle - no big door at the back of it.

    Australian Army goes ebike

    For sure. Other than pedal power (or walking), these must be the next quietest form of transport? I also imagine that they may not end up with these particular bikes - they're trialling at this point.

    🚵New product: My first Kickstarter launched🎉

    You're right Garry; it does bow out. It still works though. I only have 125mm droppers. The bow doesn't come near the tyre. While the seat is down, the guard isn't needed, although I think the bow would still protect it. Re zimmer's suggestion; you really need to attach the rubber from the top...

    Levo Gen 2 SLX cassette shredded in five rides

    Mine is pretty much identical - 3000 kms, all steep up and down. Although over a longer time period - you clock up the k's!

    Levo Gen 2 SLX cassette shredded in five rides

    I would be amazed if a different lube would have made any but miniscule difference to the OP's remarkably short lived 11th and 12th gears. 100.001 miles instead of 100 miles if it is truly remarkable chain lube? That goes along with cleaning too. This seems to scream mechanical or more likely...

    Unanswered how do teeth get bent on a sprocket? can they be straightened?

    Try the cutting wheel - it should buy you some time. Don't dismantle anything - well take the wheel off and lock the cluster somehow (with zip ties?) so that it doesn't spin around while you're playing with the cutting wheel. Run a rag with a bit of kerosene between the sprockets to get rid of...

    Unanswered how do teeth get bent on a sprocket? can they be straightened?

    That's a fair bit, especially if it is the original chain too. If it is the original chain, it is probably better to replace cluster, chain and chain ring. If the bent teeth are on a reasonably large sprocket (chain is supported by more teeth), you could try cutting the teeth with a cutting...

    Hot Chain Waxing

    I bought some squirt - it doesn't appear to get into the rollers. It's because of this that I started hot waxing. Re cleaning; I'm not sure if this is greatly needed with hot waxing. I put the chain into a wire sifter then pour hot water (boiled from a jug) over the chain along the rollers and...

    Hot Chain Waxing

    I don't think so :oops:. Your normal lube will prevent the wax adhering to the chain. In fact before you ever start waxing you have to remove all oil / oil based lube from the chain and cluster.

    Shimano BT-E8035 Integrated Battery Issue: very fast degrading and loss of range

    It should be easier than that. I have shimano 504 wh battery and the slow charger. Just going by the 5 bar gauge I have found this is pretty accurate for me: 5% = 21 mins +10% = 43 mins +15% = 1hr 4mins +20% = 1hr 25min +25% = 1hr 46min +30% = 2hr 8min +35% = 2hr 29min. That has been accurate...

    isn't that the problem of inverters? I thought that was universal with an inverter?

    When birds attack

    It's actually a strange photo - I questioned it as soon as I saw it. For example, this is a wide angle camera where everything generally looks further away than it is, which suggests that this magpie is practically on the person. At this point the maggie would have it's wings flared out and...

    Anyone using a Bluetti power pack?

    They look good, very good, but apparently they have no native charging via the car! That seems a bit retarded.
