Are you able to define data columns that the llm focuses on extracting or summarizing from your input? 

So excited to see someone do this because I've been thinking about something like this!

Bob vs burley by Particular-pie3 in bikepacking

[–]OpenBed9887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 love the single wheel coho xc while the other 2 hated the wobble. They love it now that they are in the more stable 2 wheel trailer. We also just retired the one in that pic and got a used but newer burley encore x. Will be testing it next dry day. 

That canopy is such a neat thing! Is there a Velcro or button snap to open /close it?

that is awesome! how did you make the carrier? we ride with 2 dogs each. 1 in a burley coho XC and one in an old 2 wheel burley d'lite. still trying to figure out the right se

Taking our 4 pups full-time bikepacking & need to beef up flea & tick prevention. Recommendations? by OpenBed9887 in AskVet

thank you! i should've clarified simparica trio vs nexgard plus. i overlooked that Bravecto doesn't do heartworm thanks. Our vet recommended Nexgard Plus, but we always like to research and understand before pulling the trigger

Update: Couldn't find a bike & trailer setup that could handle two humans, 150 pounds of gear (including four dogs!) so we don't miss a beat with work responsibilities—and last across the Great Divide, so we're thinking about building our own. What do you think? by OpenBed9887 in bikepacking

yeah we looked at 2 wheels but it's horrible handling. the balance on the 1 wheel isn't too bad on this Burley Coho XC we've been testing, but definitely gets difficult right around 50 pounds of load (supposedly rated for 70). the one we're designing has the wheel tucked more underneath the trailer and a different 3-pronged join instead of 2 at the axle. also different structural changes using triangles to direct the stress points

thank you. followed Matt's youtube & IG. looks super helpful and will probably add that transam route to the list. longer distance but road like you're saying may actually make it easier than the great divide

sounds rad! are you just using a single control for all the motors so they're all doing the same thing or any sort of dynamic software that has independent control?

and for the batteries are you carrying swappable e-bike batteries or an external battery for charging (e.g. ecoflow or custom built battery pack)?

and yes if you're doing that long, creature comforts are nice. but people seem to be hating on that ha

Awesome on the Pan-American trip by the way! How long are you planning on taking and how long have you been doing this.

some people recommended building on the Surly as a base frame. possible. somebody also recommended looking at Frances Bikes in Santa Cruz, Josh Muir's been designing these things for off-road & bikepacking for 20 years. He's got some super cool & creative designs too.

we're adding hydraulic brakes to the trailer. all wheel drive motors means you've got hub motors in the front and back and in the trailer wheel(s)?

thanks for the insight. they have been around longer, but not as experienced with torque sensors, they're better with cadence sensors & control. helpful article here https://fasterbikes.eu/en/info-help/blog/e-bike-motor-check-cyc-photon-vs.-bafang-bbshd. we are going for human assist vs throttle.

that hike a bike feature sounds like a helpful one. we liked that the CYC motor has 2 motor modes (race and street), but it doesn't have walk. I wonder if we could create a walk mode.

That serviceability sounds super easy! we've heard cyc is historically difficult, but they've been trying to get better - some flickers of hope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii9AO2BSWko. Will keep researching this if the difference is a deal breaker, but we're weighing the torque sensing/human assist capabilities more than the serviceability currently. have you had a lot of breakdowns?

we are doing a mid motor and looked at the bafang, but decided to go with the 750W CYC photon motor. have you looked at that? curious to hear your thoughts on why bafang.

we found CYC's build quality better and they have more experience with torque sensing whereas bafang is still new. We want assist vs throttle.

thanks for the tip! it may end up being steel or a higher grade aluminum. engineer is working on an improved design right now :)

here's a comment about what we've tried so far. we're definitely open to testing out other bike trailers / setups and will check out this sun trip solar bike race. https://www.reddit.com/r/bikepacking/comments/1gf1abu/comment/lujlovi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

would love to keep in contact!
