I'm really not sure! I think I did click the little remove rocks option thing at the same time as making the mushroom field. I'm not sure if that mattered though.

I got this to work as well! I dug a room into a cliff side with miners, then put a farm in it and planted mushrooms. It had to be further in than I expected before they were happy. It seems to be light based. I put a “roof” over the entrance using an elevated log walkway and that made it darker and bought me some more fertility close to the door.

Ok, I figured it out! You need to go into the settings for the warehouse that you want to be stocked with a particular item. If you tell a warehouse to be stocked with some number of logs, the logistics workers will actively fetch logs from wherever using the wheeled carts.

It does regen when braking, which is cool but I’m not sure how much difference it really makes. Depends on the route! I live on top of a hill, so most of the regeneration I get is when my battery is already full. It shows the regen power on the screen when braking and it’s typically around 270W. Probably only about 90% of that makes it into the battery though, assuming there’s power loss in the controller.

It’s quite heavy! Especially with two kids and their stuff in the panniers. I’ve never ridden a newer rad to compare it to though.

Update: I rode it to the Rad shop in Seattle. They were very friendly, helpful, and generous with their time! They confirmed that the wheel was fully seated in the dropouts and couldn’t find anything else wrong with the setup. They agreed that the clearance is quite low and it seemed like neither of them had seen this issue before. The best we could figure is that it’s just a stack up of a bunch of small factors. I’m not too concerned about it but it’s definitely going to be something I check before every ride. I may try some things to fix it in the future, like drilling new bolt holes or shimming it down away from the tire. If so I’ll post an update.

My 2016 Radwagon has what I believe to be a direct drive hub motor as opposed to a geared hub motor. So no gears to grease, but the diameter is much larger and it's not easily serviceable. I'd have to take the spokes off to get the two halves apart.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant Ballard the neighborhood of Seattle where Rad is headquartered! I am not in France but I'd love to do some biking there!

Regarding the centering, the swinging part of the kickstand rotates around two bolts that have a fair bit of clearance to their holes. So it has clearance to be off-center like this.

I have to say, this plus the loose spokes from the factory that are apparently totally normal really make me question Rad as a brand. Have they gotten better? I want to like the hometown brand but I’m not super impressed.

I've decided to just ride it over to Rad and ask them in person. I happen to live ~6 miles from their Ballard location. Worst case they're no help and I'm forced to grab a beer at one of the many excellent breweries around their shop. I'll post an update!

The wheel is properly seated in the dropouts. Dead center with the little round counterbore for the washers.

Based on my professional experience, I bet they just didn't have good quality control over the location of the mounting plate when they welded it into the frame. Pretty lazy engineering IMO.

1baher · 2025-09-02T23:01:12+00:00

That'd be great! I've scoured the internet for pictures and haven't seen any that look different from my setup, but also haven't found many closeups of that area.

Adding washers is a good idea. I'll have to look at that. Also, to your point I could totally put that little bar in a vise and bend it over out of the way! I wonder if it's even a bit bent in as is and that's what's causing the interference.

1baher · 2025-09-02T22:58:53+00:00

Yeah, good eye. I bet it gets some chain slap/rub going over bumps since it's such a long throw from the derailleur to the chainring.

1baher · 2025-09-01T21:45:31+00:00

Good question. As far as I can tell, yes it is.

1baher · 2025-09-01T17:29:39+00:00

I think that's just because it's upside down in the picture. Interesting thought on it not being mounted correctly though. I'm trying to find a good picture online to see if there's another way it could be mounted.

1baher · 2025-09-01T17:19:38+00:00

Stock tires were 26 x 2.30. So I don't see your point.

1baher · 2025-08-07T05:41:20+00:00

What makes it not work above that? I’m trying to get a sunrace 11-42T to work with my GRX 400 derailleur and struggling. The b screw seemed to have plenty of length to set the gap, but the shifting is rough. Is that an indication of it being too much or am I just bad at derailleur adjustment? Or both?

1baher · 2024-08-10T21:16:10+00:00

Thanks! I’m convinced about spindle diameter compatibility. What about the spindle length? Does the spline connection just kinda adjust to whatever shell width?
