    When is best to charge the battery? when very low or after use?

    I wouldn't charge until I had the flat fixed. I generally don't charge if I think I have enough battery for the next days riding. When I do charge I like to monitor and unplug from the charger once the charge cycle is complete, rather than leaving it plugged in over night.

    Foldable Bike Camper

    Bike camping never had much appeal to me. This, even less so.

    How tall are you and what size frame do you have?

    Most boring thread ever?

    Chain cleaner

    I would be very grateful if I had a broken chain and someone helped my get going with a used link. I'm probably replacing the entire chance at the earliest opportunity, anyway.

    Mobile Charging Solution

    Are you saying that Shimano sells a charger with a cigarette-lighter style connector that would charge an e8020? That would be a perfect solution but I haven't found with my Google searches. I'm surprised that Shimano doesn't sell a mobile charger. I'm planning a long trick and would prefer a...

    Thanks, I guess I just couldn't see the allen key while watching it on the phone, with my old-man eyes!

    FEEling a bit dense, but after watching the video I still don’t understand exactly what you did?

    Keep 'em coming, there has to be a better solution! The zip-tie between the crank and chainring...will have to investigate this.

    The cranks rotate backwards, but the chain doesn’t move ...

    ...which makes it a little more difficult to oil the chain. I ended up using my bike workstand, which was only possible because I had a second person handy to tighten the lock. These 50 pound bikes are great to ride, but real monsters to move around. If you don’t use a work standing how do you...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    Honestly, the main/only reason I bought it was because I wanted to see the battery info. That peek behind the curtain was worth a buck or two, to me.

    eBike Virus?

    Hey, I'm not trying to talk them into anything! Why would I want to lose my advantage? ;-)

    eBike Virus?

    A couple of us in our local riding group have recently introduced eBikes into the community. Just wondering, how quickly can I expect this wonderful contagion to spread? I expect there will be at least a few cases within the next year, and that at least 50% will be infected/affected within the...

    Chain cleaner

    Diesel or gasoline are still extremely effective, but not popular these days because they aren't 'green'.

    Spare links? I thought the master link was reusable many times!?

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    I downloaded the ST Unlocker app and it's money well spent, to a nerd like me!

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    I have the eTube Project app but didn't see it. I'll take another look, but can you point me to it? I guess you did when you said battery diagnostics, but I don't actually remember seeing that.

    Chain cleaner

    Simple Green, diluted with water. Use a brush or one of those Park chain cheaners.
