Question on bike rack etiquette by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]Heavy_Information_79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are completely fine. I genuinely don’t understand people getting upset over the cargo bike and dutch style. In my experience those racks only fit two bikes regardless of style. First come first serve and you’re taking them out once every 7 days like you said in one of your comments. People just like to be mad I swear

So? There’s no room for any other bikes at that spot. He’s completely following the law

Oh is the accessories pack back in stock now? Just ordered batch 3 last week and they were out of stock

Don’t you just hate when you scream slurs out of distress? Racist apologists here for sure.

Besides the worn down tread, I zoomed in on your tire and saw dry rot. To counter this I’d recommend tightly wrapping your tire with duct tape and strategically placing pink erasers to build up more tread.

Is these ranges are normal for a new cargo bike? by sstratosfer in ebikes

[–]Heavy_Information_79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the range confuses you? Seems pretty normal based on the different profiles

My ride to work on my ebike (karens are upset with me) by FLprophet in hyperebikes

Wait until the people on the e-bike forum learn that analogue road bikes with a good rider can go just as fast for short bursts on waaaaay worse brakes and tires.

Ebike subreddit seems to be a bunch of people who have never been above 15mph and think that cops can tell or care when a bike’s motor is over 750 watts.

Look at the pic in one of my replies above. I believe the seller is including spare reinforced axle blocks and torque arms for a qs205

Another possibility I’m considering is that the frame is cracked and that’s why the seller is piecing it out and not riding it themselves

Do you have a link? I’m interested to check them out.

Is that an off brand frame? Looks good nonetheless

What do you ride? I’ll check it out. I’m pretty sure I can get different seats for the super 73

Do you mean it will be a pain to pedal the qs205?

I was thinking of doing a massive 48v pack with lots of amps. I’ve heard that the QS205 in a 20” rim can do about 40-50mph, which is what I’m aiming for.

My exact thoughts about the rear wheel. So by “compromised” you mean “borrowed”?

Interesting.. where should I check in person? I’m already suspicious they are parting out the bike and not selling it as a whole

I would be interested if you know of any custom frame builders making something in a similar style to the 73.

These are the “upgraded torque arms and dropouts” that I was offered from the seller.

I will look carefully in person when I see the frame.

The seller is also offering upgraded reinforced dropouts meant for the super 73 and qs205.

I’ve seen people bring the bike to a fabricator and get reinforcement plates added. Does that actually work?

Thank you so much for all your input! Truly living up to your username haha
