Re: 2003 Cadillac CTS Conversion w/ 30 mile range
Sounds like fake news to me, I'd need more proof that a certified mechanic didnt fix it up a little to make the story more appealing or that little to no major work or expensive parts werent conviently forgotten to write a story to get paid for. Maybe even the actual price for the car was actually h...

Re: 2 Crystalyte wheel builds. One heavily modified.
Funsies is my guess, but what Crystalyte motors are those? If its the 53xx series thats a big motor but maybe the qs 5000w will do without debris entry into motor holes btw your motors are looking too clean ;) Are those 12g spokes? now, get out there and ride as warm weather of summer, spring and fa...

Is buying a used Brooks saddle a good idea?
Is it a good idea?
I heard the leather suppose to conform to the buttox
Would that shape change with me riding it?
Its B67 and nothing looks out of place.
Ad says $225 or $250 new, asking half.
I am 280lbs

E-Bike Throttle, any suggestions for a good, cheap one?
I bought this same kind of thumb throttle and it lasted a few years, thats all they seem to last for. The throttle prior to that got a bit of moisture/rain into the wiring/connector/throttle housing and turned it into an on/off situation like the situation below. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5834...

Please

Its easier and cheaper to limit power then it is to make more, higher power.
I was going to say Leaf 1500w hub motor if you want two motors, or a single qs 3000w hub motor

Re: Big guy would like a starter bike recommendation
I rarely if ever see the lame ass Sondors ebikes, to which I've only seen once. Let alone seeing a Sur-ron in the real life.
Any XL or XXL bike will do any 6'er or someone deep into the 6's.
The biggest questions to ask yourself is what to install for the terrain you will be riding the most.

23:00 on those lipped washers
Lipped washers OK up to 40Nm, with steel rim it can handle more power, look at the graph.
Fork itself can vary but usually fails at about 40-50Nm others 90-100Nm
Wrench as tight as you can on the axle nut, is about 60-70Nm

Re: My long ranger in progress
Check this speed record pedal bicycle for cheating slip stream riding behing a car, looks to be 8 or 10awg spokes.
Keeps the crank a decent size instead of having one large crank, got the extra gears/jackshaft in between the crank and wheel.

If that was a carbon fiber frame, I wonder what would have happened.
Can't even recycle that carbon fiber frame can you, not too green is it.
