    Automatic shifting

    I did an fairly in-depth trial of the Nuvinci stuff when the N360 was released. A close friends wife has a cerebral palsy and we thought the harmony would be great for her. The Problem is Fallbrook is a small firm and until just recently Harmony was only available to large firms doing e-bikes...

    QX100 early review

    Hi Mack, First Welcome to the Forums, Safe to assume you are roaming France on your QX100? Sorry to hear you had a problem with the spokes; my guess is that it mostly likely happened in shipping; and I am glad you had the skill to spot it and got it corrected even if it took new wheels...

    Chain WAXing (yes it's that easy) - and other mysteries of this art!

    Another thing to mention; if you get it all the way to temperature; it does steam a little; best to be wearing eye protection to keep wax steam out of the eyes..... And of course never be the guy the falls asleep while the wax is cooking in the garage. That doesn't make any sort of mess on the...

    Heads up; Flo Wheels are back in stock

    Of for the time being consider the FLO90 not tubeless compatible. They aren't sure what's up; they are going to take a look at my rims and figure out if it is a one time hiccup (unlikely it's four rims), a completely bad batch, or a design in need of correction. Going to be a few months before...

    Climbing and bb height, low gears

    Maybe, but a 25mm in that tire is going to be a lot of cushion. But best way order your first set from https://www.perennialcycle.com or drive there you are so close; I bet they have them in stock and would let you try and see and swap if it doesn't fit. A lot of amazon shops have easy...

    Shine on you crazy diamond

    I've got the six cell on the Gemini Duo; high beam is good for about 2 hours, never thought to do the runtime test. Must go do that.

    Comparing Vendetta & DF power outputs

    As long as we know we are bragging about the speed of our fast ball from the days before radar guns, then it's all in great fun. I'm not a competitive person; until 3 feet off the back of someone's wheel then to hell with the theory....

    Comparing Vendetta & DF power outputs

    Take the bikes to the same hill that you can roll down without running out of road. Stand next to each other and lift your feet. If the bikes roll to a stop at the same spot; then you can compare power numbers If one bike beats the other then we have to measure CdR and CdA and do math to...

    Climbing and bb height, low gears

    I have to think a Marathon Plus would be perfect for your riding; when they are new they are fast as they wear they are a training aid; they'll also never puncture until you run them thread bare. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/Marathon_Plus_HS440...

    To chamois, or not to chamois, that is the question

    Oh it was impressive. that was a once in 20000 mile puncture and she did it at her 20th mile ever. I tried to inflate the tire for an entire day before I found the punctured under neath the rim strip. The nail basically made a new spoke hole. But nothing a little permatex couldn't fix

    Climbing and bb height, low gears

    Ok this is going to be a random hot mess, soo much to do... That's the first thing I would do, and it's easy with a $1 metal hose clamp. However I'm the opposite; If commuting on a Silvio, I'd get the BB down low and add some padding to the seat to get me up to 36-40 degrees. Much better power...
