Micro-Inverters are are the latest way to go with a grid tied system.
Off grid probably a 48 v battery system to a inverter for the ac items you can't do without.
Although with 240 v ac coming from your panels you could power a battery charger
directly.

Em3ev has bare hubs. I think. Not sure about direct drive though. I thought they did. Yescom seems popular.

I have 2 of these winds. Older ones. Love them . My 20 inch build runs 15 mph at 48 v. The 26 inches runs the same at 36v

Have you found Rassy's trikes. Lots of good info on using direct drive hub as "midrive"

I've had and built recumbent bikes. You are right. You cannot stand up for bumps. I also have a old fsr with rear hub. I have a 20 in. X2.3 in .for the hub and 24 in on front. Mini apehangers . Some will scoff but it is comfy for me. I still want to get a better seat. I say have some larger rims lac...

Any luck figuring out what happened? Once it gets cloudy it can take awhile..

Idk. I fight pollen and seeds and such in the spring. Mine doesn't get that dark . Mine is only 7600 gal. 18 foot above ground. 2 pounds of shock is al it usually takes. You probably have 2 or 3 times more water?

Are you using a sand filter? If you are using filters i would find a sand filter. Backflush like hell. Hit it hard with shock.

Is that double the money. Isn't it over 4 grand?

Apparently even Corona Virus threads can be dangerous.

I get enough on "other" news.

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 tor...

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?
