    I don't get why some people don't get ebikes.

    Well I know it's not worth that now. But don't you think the people at the top still spent on their toys?

    I don't get why some people don't get ebikes.

    You seem to be forgetting that money has a footprint. No matter what you buy, even if it's a service not a product, somewhere down the track, the environment pays. The more you spend, generally speaking, the worse it is for the environment. Any time you buy something, anything, it's...

    I don't get why some people don't get ebikes.

    That! Is a monstrosity!🥴 Wot the actual fark. An industrial design wannabe with too much free time on his hands. Is that what they think we want? I shall resume building (or rather assembling) by own non-e-bikes, as the current market is not fit for consumption.

    What does that last ebike weigh? It looks very heavy. 24.5kg? No thanks. EDIT: £7,899.99 POUND??!!! 😳 Good lord I'd rather have a GSXR600! Sod your emissions! Oh. I see those are not made anymore.🤔 Strange times we live in.

    I don't get why some people don't get ebikes.

    Well that's fine for commuting. But what about plain old exercise? You want to burn more calories not less! I don't like them because they are going to make me too lazy. They are heavier. I very much enjoy riding lightweight bikes. That's half the fun. Not 25kg ones. I think many ebike (only)...

    Decent frame pump . What happened to them

    I thought that CO₂ was recovered. Probably not though.😕 One of the reasons I do it is that I just don't want to be on the side of a highway any longer than I need to be. Four cops were killed a few years ago on the side of a highway here (in one hit).😨 There's one section of highway where I...

    Anyone know the outer diameter of hope disc rotor rivets?

    Yes for floating rotors... But no that's what I meant. That's the outside flange diameter.🙂 I need the shaft diameter of the floating rivets. Not the inner diameter of the rivet hole either.

    Decent frame pump . What happened to them

    What's wrong with cartridges? I use zefal ez adapter. One of the few (if not the only one) with no moving parts. Probably the lightest and cheapest as well. Have never had it fail. I keep expecting something to go wrong, it never does.

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    The ah "grain structure of the material" is not really visible to the naked eye (unless its galvanised zinc metal sheeting). So no. That's why it's called a "microstructure". Yes the fracture surface is crystalline in appearance indicating that it is a brittle failure. But you need to grind...

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    So I see my original post on page 1 was quietly but heavily edited/redacted whatever you want to call it. Which once again, is a form of censorship. It was WAY longer than that!😲 Remember this image? Gone. Why? I originally wrote WAY more than that. Complaining that this thread was locked...

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    They make their own bearings: (ugh, just noticed youtube changed their desktop layout, 'orrible it is now, 'orrible, comments are all farked & appear to the right, they should stop messing with it, they already messed with community subscriptions tab and totally fucked that up) Getting back...

    Ruined? Hei Hei

    Ah, no, that weld is not as good as the original ones elsewhere on the bike.🥴

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    Chris King outboard bottom bracket is alright.👍 Because it's the one part that does wear out faster than the rest. Chris King headsets though are massively over-specced on all custom builds.🙄 I really do begin to roll my eyes when I see this. No one puts any thought into what other headsets to...

    Wanted SRAM X9 front derailleur, 3x9, black, 31.8mm, top pull, high clamp.

    Does anyone know if they even made a dedicated 31.8mm, top pull, high clamp version?🤔 Or was it only ever a combination 31.8 / 34.9mm version, i.e. with a reducer?😕 I'd probably consider silver now as it seems black is very hard to get.

    Welding a GT rear swing arm pivot area RTS 3

    I concur with the other advice. You can't simply weld that. You'd need to cut the whole section out and replace.
