That's not a Douglas Fir, the bark is wrong, the saw chips are too white (Doug Fir is quite orange-looking) and it has too much branching for the size of the trunk.
Your handle is "Stihldog" and you don't have a chainsaw? 🤔
O.K. then, I love my gas Stihl's for bigger stuff but the tiny Milwaulkee M12 Fuel cordless chainsaw is the ticket for light trailwork. For it's size and weight it packs a punch and, perhaps more importantly, the batteries last a...
I had a Garmin GPSMap 276c and 376c and thought they had the most useable GPS out there for motorcycle road use (too big for a bicycle). Awesome units, pretty easy to use (once you took the time to learn how) and supremely powerful in terms of customization. But these units had their roots in...
I don't see the problem. They organized the race and take all the risk, they can choose what kind of race it is. They probably should have resisted the temptation to explain *why* it's not an eBike race, but that's their prerogative too.
I've been using cell phones for three decades and I've never had one fail besides a cracked screen that left the phone fully functional. Regardless, there is a first time for everything, and my car came with plastic key cards that require no batteries, are thinner than a credit card, survive...
My phone IS my car key, whenever my phone is within 5 feet of the car it will be unlocked, it locks as soon as I walk away. The phone goes in my fanny pack.
The balancing happens during the final stages of charging from 90%-100%. This is necessitated by the shape of the voltage curve as each individual cell accepts more charge energy. During the bulk absorption phase the cell can accept a lot of current without the impacting the cell voltage as...
The reason you can eek a longer life out of the battery by gaming the system is because the engineers who design the charging parameters are playing a balancing act between weight of the battery, life of the battery (how long of a warranty they can offer) and the range of the bike (as well as...
I have a MudRocker on the rear of my Scott Strike eRide and it's a bit pricey but totally worth it for it's function and well-thoughtout design. It fits like it was made for the bike and stays put.
On the front I have a Muckynutz and it pretty much sucks. The plastic is too flimsy (not stiff...
Canyon has used Bosch motors for at least a couple of years on their gravel Grail: ON line. I can only assume they have had a good experience with those.
I have two e-bikes with Bosch motors and am a huge fan. My Canyon Grail has the 4th Gen Speed line motor and there is no temptation to...
I back off pedal pressure about 1/4 to a 1/2 second before I click the shifter and start applying pressure almost immediately after clicking the shifter. That's with the rear cassette, I've never ridden AXS with a front derailleur.
No problems yet.
As someone who puts their eMTB away in the winter months and switches to an avid storm/powder skier, and an owner of a Tesla AWD Model 3 for 5 years, I can tell you this EV is the best ski car I've ever had including Volvo's, VW's, and Subaru's. The reduced range in winter is not a problem...
Yes, that's a positive development so non-Tesla owners don't need to rely entirely on unreliable, expensive, and often oddly placed third-party charging networks, but my point was that Tesla will not open 100% of the Supercharge network to other auto brands - an EV road-tripper will only have...
I'm accustomed to seeing a certain amount of EV ignorance on the Internet in general, but I didn't think I would find it on an eBike forum! My wife and I have two Model 3's we bought 5 years ago and they are the best cars we've ever had. Even on roadtrips. I don't know how much truth there is to...
I dunno, it sounds like every Eagle "transmission" comes with a rear axle "torque wrench". Once it's properly setup, you just tighten the rear axle until the "transmission" cogs stop making a racket!
