Aha; thanks. I will archive this with the rest, for the future. In the future, at least my personal electric future, say 2023-4, I expect ready-to-ride electric bikes will be much cheaper than today, but if they are more than $1500, then adding one of these to my Monocog might be a good option.

Gaak! I'll just drive my car, thank you. After all, I drive far less than 500 miles a year in a 15-year-old car, so my carbon traces are far smaller than those of most travelers. On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 6:49 PM Michael Morrissey < michaelgmorris...@gmail.com> wrote: > Those conversions are all

[RBW] WTB: non-disc Phil rear cassette hub 135mm for Bombadil

Those conversions are all fine and dandy, but I test rode the Cake Osa, and it is the future. https://ridecake.com/en/shop/bikes/osa/osa/ I will be getting one sometime in the next few years for sure. Michael On Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 8:33:02 PM UTC-5 Patrick Moore wrote: > I was

This is whatcha need for a complete plug-n-play BBSHD kit with a good battery, I built a couple Rivs with it and may do another someday. Gonna run you about $1500, any halfway competent bike mechanic can do it themselves. https://lunacycle.com/bafang-bbshd-1000w-middrive-kit/ On Thursday,

I forget your name. I sent you a pair of early, single pivot DA calipers last summer or fall, without the barrel adjusters. I found them. If you want them, please pipe up offlist. Note: This type is the nicest barrel adjusters-cum-QRs that I've ever seen. Sorry, other listers. Patrick Moore

Thanks for this description of an add-on alternative. I see that you can buy the kit online for under $400, though I guess that doesn't include the battery, and I guess a couple of hundred more to have the bike shop install it? (Actually, I'd source it through the bike shop too, if possible, to

I have an XO-3 that I had a shop install a Bafang BBS02 system on several years back. It uses a Revelate 1/2 frame bag to hold the battery just under the top tube, while still allowing me to run a small water bottle in the seat tube cage. The system has plenty of power for me, and has given me a

Wow, great comments and thanks for sharing that article - I wasn't aware that the wheel was out of production either. Given the new information, how does $900 sound for the wheel in case someone is still interested in trying it out. Max On Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 7:27:10 AM UTC-5 Alex
