To be fair, there is nothing definitive. Have seen varying advice from differnt manufacturers. Based on the info I recieve from laptop manufacturers and what I have read from bike manufacturers as well as reading all the product info on the cordless power tools I buy I think the following is...

Beats the mankini @Zimmerframe wears

Just need strong thumbs ... Y'all think MTB tire fitting is difficult - try fitting a 18" Barum MX tire on a rim :eek:

Many of the FS bikes I hear creaking tend to be dry pivots.

Read his whole post ... especially the bit "needed when cars and heating would become electrified". If every home and car in Australia was electric most people would be walking as they would not be able to charge their vehicles. That is due to a lack of 'overhead in capacity' and is something...

Nope, I don't want superflous crap on my bike. Love night riding, but a helmet light is the only way to go if you want to go fast. Bar lights are for backups or commuting. Don't want brake lights either. I have a light that attaches to my seat rails and if I am going on a night ride - I...

My Scott was progressively getting worse. Dropped forks and gave the very dry headset a good lube which took out most of the creaks, but the rest was a tad difficult to track down. Ended up being the saddle bracket the front bolt was about 1/4 - 1/2 turn loose and once firmed up has been creak...

Hydrogen Hyundai looking good with hydrogen option

KTM, HONDA & YAMAHA AGREE TO CREATE UNIVERSAL BATTERIES FOR ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES On the morning of March 1st, 2021, KTM, Yamaha, Honda and Piaggio have announced that they’ve each signed a letter of intent to set up a Swappable Battery Consortium for motorcycles and light electric vehicles. What...

I am still waiting to see what eventuates with fuel cell technology. No arguments that e-vehicles are fun. Had a few drags with a Tesla Model S & a Kia Stinger - lots of fun. Some do equate modern e-vehicles with the shitty old Prius that used to waddle like a pregnant mother expecting...

My nephew spent 5 years in China as the US manager of the plant.

The reality is that e vehicles for all is an impossibility. I have not found any country that has an adequate supply or electrical grid that is capable of running all those e vehicles. The biggest issue is that in many countries adding hydro-electric dams is not possible and to be quite...

Pretty much the way motocross magazines went in the 80's

Agreed More often than not. Then again, most riders are kind of in that category. Raced Pro MX and had that problem. Can power wheelie on the MX bike, but not flick thefront end up and ride forever. On the eMTB I can 'pop' the front when needed but not ride a manual. Probably due to several...

Missing a category ..... especially for @Zimmerframe

What I get from my LBS too

Please do. Where is the motor output in that chart? We are not talking about overall gearing as changing sprockets will not change the speed your motor stops assisting. If I am commuting I am on the 32kph limit almost from go to woah .... on an unpowered bike I am 10 - 15 kph faster...

Me, I look at it completely differently and from a far more knowledgeable point of view. Going up a couple teeth on the front is not going to have bugger all difference to your speed, but it will have huge benefits for chain and cluster life. I am a big unit at around 112kg and hardly ever used...

Kind of don't fit into any of the categories. Build a lot of track when we started our local track and was track manager for 8 or 9 years - out in all sorts of weather cutting felled trees, sorting drainage and such. About 5 or 6 years after we built the original track I redeveloped a lot of...
