Found a good deal on a full suspension Motobecane, so I decided to retire my old bike. Kudos to hie2kolob for helping me pull the BBS02 off the old bike and install it on the new bike. This BBS02 is now into its fourth season (and on its third bike) and still going strong.

Thanks for the advice, sather, but there's no way I'd buy another BBS02 now that the HD is out. If this BBS02 eventually fails (it'll be 3 years old next month, knock on wood), I'll be getting the HD. And sorry to hear you had a 100% failure rate in the first year. I had a 0% failure rate...

Excellent thread. I'll be watching with great interest.

Poor sap needs some swim lessons

Having seen that new build in person, and seeing the huge smile on your face while you were riding it, I predict that bike will give you many miles of smiles. And I love all the quotes in your signature. Brilliant! Sorry I never noticed them before.

Hie2kolob and I tore down our bafangs the other night and regreased them. After a short test ride around the neighborhood, my bike seems to be as quiet as when I first got it. I'll test it further on a hard trail climb later this week. All the components inside were in great shape. The...

Thanks!

Which one did you buy, jkbrigman? (And also interested in knowing which one Wes bought.)

Knock on wood, no puffers yet. But I've only taken them on a couple hard rides so far. None of the six had any low cells when I first got them, so maybe I got lucky.

Thanks much!

Thank you, that's good to know. How about Superlube? I already have some of that on hand.

My bbs02 is still running strong at 2000+ km, but I think it's time to lubricate it, as a quiet growl has slowly started developing over the last 200 miles or so. It's not super loud, so I've been inclined to just leave it, but I believe it is a bit louder now than it was when I first heard it...

Thank you very much!

Found it, thanks! https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=34929&p=605594&hilit=coroplast#p605594 Where do you get your coroplast?

Still running strong at 2000+ km, although I'm hearing a slight growl from the gears. I think I'll open it up and lubricate the gears, as described in the main bafang thread. I picked up some of the multistar packs mentioned in this thread...
