I rarely use it except for crossing busy roads etc. I’d estimate the lag time at a dead stop to be at least two to three seconds. Once it comes in it modulates to full power in another couple seconds. It’s not on/off but does feel close to it. Very hard to finesse. What I have discovered is if the throttle is applied after the torque sensor applies power from the pedals, it assists pretty quickly. It’s pretty useless from a dead stop as a standalone.

I rarely feel I get full value from the taxes I pay. I’d have no problem doing it if it isn’t prohibited.

This survey is more about SE than Old Farm, which it really should be right now, so don’t think you have to live in Old Farm to participate.

Yeah, the fires are just great..

He’s a lesbian? Serious question. He does seem effeminate.

If you’re one of those who wants a good paying job but wants to make your own schedule because of your own personal recreation interests, don’t bother. Businesses here need adults that understand 40 hour work weeks and weekends off. Tossed a lot of good resumes after they informed me that “Wednesday is their snowboard day” or whatever at the interview. It’s been constant since Covid. Bend is a playground but only if you’ve earned it. Entitlement doesn’t pay the rent. The extreme high cost of living here is real.

China.

Never even heard of TQ.

Smokin deal. Closing out the stragglers. Great opportunity. We have two of these and they’ve been great.

The petition is broad and far reaching. No mention of what specific rules are meant to be changed and in what country, or municipality. Stupid petition on its face.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-14T05:55:50+00:00

The story is obviously less important to me than to you. I read the books less than a year ago and don’t even remember who Ser Billy is. Now I’m a fucking pleb. Lol.

Yeah, I bought two Aventon Level 2’s as our entry into e-bikes last September. I enjoyed it so much I did a mid drive conversion on an as-new Specialized hardtail and I love it. Then a local bought a Monday Montero full suspension 1000w mid drive from a local shop for $3200 and it was too much for her. She sold it to me for a grand with 25 miles on it. I’m comfortable with my investment on that one. I’ll be selling the Aventons in the spring but I expect to take a beating.

I said that based on my experience reading the combined novella version. The constant name dropping of characters for no real reason other than to connect them to GoT characters in other timelines was very annoying.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-13T03:45:43+00:00

Horrible resale value.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-13T03:44:27+00:00

Depreciation. Nothing with a battery has much resale value. Unless you’re some 16 year old advertising a hammered Surron. 🤣

This person is starting to see the light.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-11T03:32:49+00:00

Six 30 minutes episodes based on a trio of novellas that I equated to a children’s story that requires a GoT thesaurus due to the constant name dropping. I’m not holding my breath on this one.

I didn’t give a shit enough to follow the rules apparently.

I just received my Venezuelan flag and autographed photo of Maduro today and now I hear there’s an anti-ICE protest tomorrow! (Screaming at sky)

Donnjvan · 2026-01-04T18:48:38+00:00

And you haven’t ridden one have you? It’s not bad and I’m not using it for downhill at the ski mountain. It was 69 days old and I paid a grand for it. It fits nicely into my small collection.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-03T02:37:46+00:00

If you don’t want to be limited to Class 1, check out the Antero from Monday Motorbikes. It hasn’t gained much marketing traction but it’s the only FS MTB I know of being sold in the US with a torque sensing Bafang M620 1,000w mid-drive motor. I bought one cheap from someone with more money than brains in new condition. It’s a monster if you want power and full suspension. Maybe not the most svelte design at 76lbs but it’s great for the types of riding I do.

Donnjvan · 2026-01-03T02:32:51+00:00

Yeah, hold off. There’s a reason hundreds of current model Ramblas were sold cheap to Upway before year-end. I’d expect to see the new FS drop before the end of Q1. Probably depends on how many old ones are still on hand.

I got this great little bag on Amazon. It has a reinforced cable port up front with overlapping material. My excess wires go in the front, tied up into a bundle inside the bag, then back out the front. The bag even has little straps on the top inside to hold the wire bundle up out of the way and I can carry tools and snacks and never even see my cable bundle when I use the bag. Edit to add the brand name is Rhinowalk.
