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

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!".

rkosiorek said:the rear is more work to install but rewards you with better performance. a much more natural feel to the ride.

![]()
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...![]()

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.
