    BBSHD vs cassette: Is skipping common?

    I have a BBSHD on a Cannondale Quick, I weigh 170 and have had progressive skipping in the 2 highest gears. I have replaced the chain and freehub, the Acera RD and adjusted B-screw maximally and checked RD alignment. Does not appear to be coming from the relatively new BBSHD. (~100 m) No...

    First choice of POBs and thieves

    Marketing to uninformed star struck is pretty toxic. Elderly and young are a big target Fatties have a narrow range where they are a good idea, otherwise only say you got hold of momma's credit card. Real toxic on the MUP's Given the tire and battery cost, expect to see a lot of them in garage...

    Who are we trusting these days with prebuilt batteries?

    Probably should look at certification, reliable vendor, avoidance of counterfeits. I second Grin in Vancover and EM3ev. There is a race for low cost, making QC hard to assure in batteries, BMS and chargers...

    Will battery prices continue to climb?

    What price point will batteries' cost eclipse the cost of the system? Especially that copper is the other pressured resource? I think they both may make ICE's more competative , EV more niche/novelty. This guys talk on YT is challenging Mark Mills: The energy transition delusion: inescapable...

    ? These must be junk

    QUOTE: We as consumers therefore have to be our own filter which is difficult and why we rely so heavily on word of mouth and anecdotal successes and failures. Is a great Quote Combination of the Wisdom of the Market and other people's insurance premium payments. But that covers a lot of things.

    How do you store your batteries safely indoors?

    OVENS? NO!!!! Maybe for charging if 1) you live alone and 2) can't go outside. Somebody is going turn on the oven to preheat it without looking inside, and things will not go well. Even a discarded one disconnected, but that would only slow a potential disaster. Besides have you seen what...

    Battery Fires - NYC stats

    My condo will only allow UL bats. Insurance guys are getting aware of the issue,and started it. The whole issue of e-bike insurance is a can of worms . Stats on e-bikes are still not getting parsed out and the plural of anecdote is not data, but moving there. Fire stats are better than health...

    More concern over battery fires NYT

    Well thought out BMS, build and maintenance have made this a much smaller issue in premium vehicles. Unregulated, the lower end and home builds are going to be extremely vulnerable to inflaming this issue. (enflaming?) A low end bike costs $700 to $1500 and these are going to continue to be...

    BBHSD BB creak

    No cracks in the Al frame or paint flaws I can find that could be frame troubles. Something tells me this bike isn't Cannondale's best effort. I know Creaks can be bedeviling and hard to localize, when the usual suspects are not found, or don't respond. More trying to see if this is common with...
