Torque washers are like whitey-tighties: You don't have to have them, but they do a good job of holding your nuts in place.

I don't wear tighty-whiteys. Like my bike, my undergarments are hybrids. 8)

There is nothing more amusing than watching some lycra roadwarrior's expression as you pass him going up a steep hill with a fairly slow cadence small sprocket ... and cheerily wave at him.

One woman followed me for a good 2 miles ... pushed until she was close enough to see the wires and the lit display on the Cycle Analyst, and after about five minutes trailing me started shouting "I knew it, dammit, I just knew it!".

If I ever want to put a freewheel and a tiny rear sprocked on my BD36, it's so I can do this on a BMX. :D

Drunkskunk " Anyone who believes 72 pounds of battery is acceptable on a bike for only 672 Watts Is smoking crack."

And that's a fact.. jack.

I use 48volts at 12ah's it weighs in at 30pounds and I still think it is over kill for my 1375watt motor ! LOL :mrgreen:
Well I smoke grass so I may be outa it to!

"Be Green, Be kind...Smoken dope just about all the time. Keeps me slow minded when I talk to my slow friends and helps me drive slower so I dont piss of the fed's"

"Lower voltage would work for me most of the time but it's nice to be able to get near 30mph to keep up with city traffic. I also get the big stupid grin but it's followed by a look of terror when I try to use the brakes on a $220 bike form a discount store"

My bmx gives me that same feeling ! lol..
 
Lots of good quotable stuff from Firesign Theater. I allways liked " The old same place? You can't get there from here." I belive that was from Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers. And from Frank Zappa, " We'll tighten our headbands for an extra rush during the guitar solo." Can't remember which song that was from. Great thread guys, I laughed till it hurt.
 
Nick Danger...at your cervix. :mrgreen: And who was the other guy? Rocky Roccoco? :) Firesign theater takes me back to the 70's and 80's when we would set around and listen to those LP's way into the night. I forget most of it. But, I still remember the Corn and Chemical exchange bank, where you traded a beaker of chemicals for an ear of corn. I also liked the spoofs on the I Love Lucy show.
 
Audrey Farber? Betty Jo Bioloski? Nancy? Welcome to the only clean motel in town. I definintely listened to that one a lot of times, on a lot of substances. There was no MTV or comedy channel then.
 
One time, we went down to the record store and picked up the latest Firesign Theater- can't remember which one and got back to the house and put it on. It started off oddly with marching band music and we started laughing our asses off, since this was the days of hard rock and this marching band music seemed pretty lame. But, then it kept playing - so after a while, we were like wtf?!? And then we took the album off the record player and looked at the label and it was an LP of marching band music that they stuck in the wrong album cover at the record company! Boy, we really started laughing then. :D

Exactly why I don't lend my bike to anyone. I just tell them it's not really finished and I'm not done testing it (which is only a half-lie). :D

last time I said that was last week, dont think It bothers me to say "HELL FLUCKEN NO!" in that way either, but it is more refind :wink:

Going Vertical
file.php

That's the first time (that I can recall) that I've seen somone have the presence of mind to go vertical with the battery mounting rather than the usual horizontal. Seems that most people try to imitate the bike rack and when you combine it with suspension you always end up with a rack that wants to break due to stress.

By going vertical you reduce the stress and have a better mounting location. You could double the battery with this configuration because the seat tube gives added strength.

Very nice... :)

Perhaps I'm also jaded by all the yahoos nowadays who want to spout off theroy without any actual supporting evidence for their claims. It seems like everyone's got a pet idea they want everyone else to believe. (or even pay them to research) The worst case is when they emotionally cling to their theories even in the face of contradicting evidence.


Classic example of someone who thinks his own farts don't stink.
Its contagious effect is spread by listening 'safe' & his pet theories for too long.
