Apparently even Corona Virus threads can be dangerous.

I get enough on "other" news.

Haha. I just looked at one of my pm's from 6 + years ago . I think i called him out and was ready to do it again. Of course that was right after i had my stroke. My filter was totally off . I said what ever was on my mind. My wife had to call me out soo..

Also that is probaby soft metal. Are you using a rear hub? How much power?

There is a 16 inches magic pie hub setup in todays posts. Might be too fast winding though. I have old 9 continent , slow wind in 20 inch wheel. It only does 16mph at 48 v. Sounds like what you need.

I ended up using 155mm. Bmx cranks on mine for pedal strike. Also good for bad knees. Most non powered riders prefer longer cranks for more leverage.

1.85 a gallon for regular in Wichita Ks.

Actually saw it 1.72 at a Krogers on the way to Hutchinson Sunday. Did not see any more that low.

I had a great realtor on my first house. Then I bought 6 acres to put a house on. Then I got a county soil type map. Free.. Found out it was some of the worst gumbo clay there is. 🙄 Ended up buying a stone house south of Wichita. Built in 55. Whole town / Udall was leveled by a tornado that yr. It h...

Haha. And I drive diesel trucks for a living. But I don't roll coal on purpose. Many around here do..
Ed, I hope you are getting by ok.

Maybe the folks in North Dakota are the luckiest, smartest of us all..

Damn, 2 inches in a day is a drizzle in Ks. I grew up in Wash. Our "hill" was about 400 ft above the valley. Sumner,Orting,Tacoma. No prob where we lived . Where I live now south of Wichita, is on somewhat high ground between the Arkansas river and Walnut. Perfect. Of course we do have tornadoes, an...

And a new article I found today..

No hard trails for us. The trails and roads where we camp are on the edge of what is called the Flint Hills in Ks. There is alot of native stone. Large rocks in the road so you have to go slow and pick your way through or probably crash. Even when we tow in some places you have to straddle or drive ...

I checked out bikesdirect before. Kinda liked the motebecane bikes.
Thanks guys. Good info . Gotta get up at 4:30 for the new job. latr

Haha. Yep, been looking at bikes for awhile. Since i am old/slow it just needs to comfortable. I know my wife wants a bigger ,better seat. I may look into a thudbuster also , they are pricey. If i can use it on another bike all the better. Also came across this. Not sure i like the rear suss though....

Trying to find picks of the difference. I just started a new job after being off for 4 months. Broke my heel in three pieces 🤨 It will be a couple weeks or so before i can get something. Lots of research to do till then. I will probably hit up the mechanic that built the 24 inch front wheel on my Fs...

Awesome. Do you know what year they starting changing to tapered? Will i be able to tell the difference just seeing the bike?

Sorry for all the noobe ??

Wasn't sure about the fork. So older are tapered and newer is 1-1/8. Straight?

I got my Rincon cheap. Just need another fs. I've had four back surgeries. Is the rear susp. Like i posted the right type?

Yea.. Genesis is too although people use them. Do you think the Genesis is a notch better or not really.

Sustainable does fit better. Also we have used hydro reliability for years in the US. Even coal plants have issues. Plus we have a lot of geothermal in a few states also. Of course it is not used because it is not competitive money wise. Not initially. It is like talking "global warming " climate ch...

I have on of those. It rips pretty good for me. On small stuff. 5 inch diam and smaller
I wonder if you could take the stock battery apart and see what the third wire is for.

Some of you may know i have a Fsr w 9c hub. And a Rincon hardtail with a 9c. I am started looking for another fs to put the electrics from the Rincon on. I have looked on pinkbike. Unfortunately still really low budget here. I do not go fast. This rincon is totally stock at 36 v. This may be for my ...

I ran mine on lipo@55 amps for awhile. Nothing compared to lots on here. I have had these 9c kits for about 10 yrs so backed it off for longevity. The bike is a caddy to me. Top shelf in the early 90s. Just wonder if i can control that heavy hub a little better. I may try it ,I can always put it bac...

Dan mentioned phones. They should put an a sensor so if the phone detects "any" movement the screen goes blank. You need directions, pull over. And what about when you want to use it on a train or a bus ? Or passenger seat of a vehicle. While we are on the topic, why not have movie theaters automat...

Damn this thread went to shit. 😕 My batt is there. But i use a 24" up front. I bet you could add a limiter internally. Or ubolts around the forks. ☺ kidding. Thanks for the link on the Duro btw. I want to a better , longer rear shock on my Fsr. I have room at the top to drill another hole an inch hi...

Is the trance 26 wheels? Not much room for batteries in the triangle.
