    'People who ride eBikes are lazy.'

    Here’s me thinking that the cycled path outline would end up being a drawing of a hand “flippin the bird...” or something. I’m impressed but a bit disappointed. ?

    Creaking noise

    Try checking the seat post. Loosen the seat clamp, raise the seat post (or the outer tube if a dropper post) by about 3mm, then retighten the seat clamp. I realise it’s counterintuitive seeing as the sound is coming from the front, but it’s been known to happen for some, me included. May not be...

    GoPro Settings?

    Check out my second video (post #35). It won’t play here but you can watch it via the direct YouTube link. ??

    Please list your best upgrades

    Nukeproof Horizon 40mm Riser Bar and matching Stem. The bend and backsweep angles suits me far better than the stock bars on my eTrance.

    Delete this lol...back to the drawing board!

    Don’t be peeved. BB height and ground clearance have never been the same thing even with non-ebikes. Ground clearance in those bikes depends on the size (diameter) of the chainring. Regarding the Giant/Yamaha combo, the motor is positioned to allow the Maestro linkages to be where they should...

    So! You're home alone for the week , what film/s y gonna watch?????

    Just finished watching it. Yes, astoundingly harrowing. The first person audio rendering was frightening. The isolation was both crippling and liberating. The ending - profound. Thanks for sharing this.

    Braking technique question

    There’s no doubt that the front brakes are the most effective, weight transfer physics dictates that. And although I would agree that around 80/20% front/rear braking bias would provide strongest stopping on a straight line in theory, making that a blanket statement without context can be...

    So! You're home alone for the week , what film/s y gonna watch?????

    The mind is a beautiful and wonderful thing. I had some sorta nerve or something detach from my right eye just recently that resulted in a dark blotch in my vision. I panicked. My wife who works at our regional eye clinic told me that at my age it can happen which is sort of normal with no cure...

    By the way, those plugs are made to fit your ear canal perfectly. Some softer goop is injected into your ears and is allowed to cure (about 30 minutes). Then those “pre-moulds” are sent away to make the proper plugs. Unlike generic plugs, the perfect fit provides a perfect yet comfortable seal...

    Battery Lock Keys. Yes or No?

    No for me... and especially more so now knowing how much they weigh. Hmmm, might be a nice machining project to make one up with just a simple latch... but maybe keep a faux key hole in place. Gotta give the vandals a worthwhile twirling challenge. ;)

    So! You're home alone for the week , what film/s y gonna watch?????

    Can't view it here in NZ either. Just saw "The Woman in the Window" on Netflix. It has all the hallmarks of being a great mystery thriller, but alas... I've been around for too long and unfortunately can predict a Hitchcock plot coming a mile away. Still gave it a thumbs up tho... seeing as I...

    SORRY WHAT... WHAT DID YOU SAY?? I've got tinnitus because of exactly this. Was in a band (late 70s), and when we played - all guitar amps were set on 10... after our rehearsals in a small room, we thought it was funny that it was made up sign language only when we gathered for afternoon tea...

    I really hate battery lock and keys

    Or the charger during a week long riding holiday!

    I really hate battery lock and keys

    Or use duck tape and tape the key inside the battery cavity before you click snap the battery into place. The key will be safe in there. ... no wait! ;) Joking aside, there plenty of nooks and crannies all around a bike to tape the spare battery key (inside the steerer tube, electric tape...

    Another Serious Lake District MTB Crash today - Think about the consequences to emergency services attending during covid!

    Zim and I don’t look alike that’s for sure. But who’s to say I’m not really his other him when he thinks he’s asleep? The ‘one’ of us might just like to enjoy answering each other’s posts. And oh, I could be the other one that looks like Brad Pit! Ya just neva knowz! :devilish:

    Another Serious Lake District MTB Crash today - Think about the consequences to emergency services attending during covid!

    I'm afraid not, @Zimmerframe has no doppelgänger. There's only one of him - but his two spit personalities manifests at the same time when he rides together with himself. Sometimes the two of him would fight against each other instead of ride together. It looks really weird in reality, but to...

    Another Serious Lake District MTB Crash today - Think about the consequences to emergency services attending during covid!

    You can only sue yourself if the other Zim asked you to follow him off a cliff and therefore make you ride beyond your limits, whatever that means. Otherwise you're good and quite safe from self-harm and self-litigation. Or better yet, just ride by yourself but you have to leave your second...

    Just finished watching OXYGEN on Netflix. It’s like Gin and Tonic - without the Gin. You can plead for all the Gin you like, but the command is prohibited - and causing damage to your cryogenic pod is punishable by 10 years imprisonment. All you get is Tonic, pleasant intergalactic dreams buddy...
