Thanks!!

I have a set of their cranks to install this weekend. So can you tell me more about the parts needed? I haven't disassembled anything yet. Do you have some ideas on what to buy and where? Or how did you solve it?

I thought the thread was about SELLING a bike, not buying one? I personally have purchased a used bike, and would do so again in certain circumstances. I've also sold more used bikes than I've bought. I'm unlikely to buy used in the future because I've moved to wanting the most updated bikes...

Yeah, that's cute, I didn't get to choose. I came to a hard stop and almost went over. The mud and grass/sticks turned into concrete over the span of a few seconds. No thanks. We get 360 days of sunshine per year and a few days of rain, I'm just gonna avoid this crap.

I still don't know what loam is, and learned a hard lesson about what passes for mud in my area, which happens once a year or so.

Yup, and it seems like most people are running too much pressure. I keep watching expert riders running low pressures, and not destroying stuff, so it must also be safe for us normal people.

Without discussing the tire sizes involved, nothing can be figured out here. I run around 20-22 PSI on my primary bike with a 2.8x29 front and 2.8x27.5 rear. But on the bike with smaller tires I need higher pressures. I like the traction with low pressure and when I've run 26-30, it's both...

Everything from taxes to regulations to how people view the world. They pay twice as much for sales tax, so the used market, bypassing sales tax, would be different. There are different warranty regulations (both for better and for worse), so again, the new/used equation changes. If you're...

I was shocked too. They are, right now, in that process. Unlike the others where I have to figure out/buy the adapter, Tesla is retrofitting the adapter into the Superchargers.

And yet still totally wrong. All I can do is shake my head and laugh. I parked next to a first-gen Model S yesterday, at a biking/hiking trailhead. He was riding an Amish bike, but when he saw EV and electric bike he had to start a conversation about ebikes. He's at 200k miles on his Tesla...

The Roadster is pretty low for the age, around 50k. The other two are in the 150k-200k range. No brake pads, a couple of minor warranty repairs. One had to do struts on his own dime, the other nothing. With average US pricing, that's around $22k in fuel, and they spent $2300 on electricity...

It's always super amusing to read about the doom and gloom of EVs from people who don't own one and have no clue. Seven year batteries, LOL, but hey at least it's not like the idiot who told me yesterday that most only last four years at best. Two of my friends have 2013 Teslas holding 90%...

I own an EV and you couldn't give me a free ICE again. When I visit my brother a state over, I have to charge 1-2 times, depending on various factors. It takes 10-14 minutes, which is actually the amount of time it takes to go inside and urinate, get another drink, maybe get food. I've lost...

Why is it controversial? I don’t get it. They are one of many great options.

My friends have sold a couple of them with no real challenges, and I sold one. Of course there’s no warranty, as is, come and get it. I got $2500 for a bike that had cost us $3800 about three years before.

I love my Super Air R, which is MIPS rated.

That's the nominal rated voltage, but the charging voltage is much higher. When full, that pack will measure 42v, so to charge it, you'll need more than 42v. The charger for my "36v" bike puts out a measured 43.some volts. Aside from the connector, you'd need a minimum of a DC-DC converter...

But not a backpack? That would seem more attractive. Also, appearing crazy could be a deterrent.

I find it motivating and uplifting that I'm not one of the ego-driven fashion lemmings going along with the status quo for image. Cargo shorts and fanny pack are a win. And I don't wear it in the back. It's on the side for riding and front for walking.

Hope is not a good plan.
