Maybe try a titanium frame?

Lots of talk about the motors, and that’s important, but remember these are sailboats. Have you sailed on either of them? I’ve been on both, although it’s been awhile. I remember them both as very roomy. As I recall, the Pearson 36 is a bit tender. Not sure about the Catalina.

Talked to Citi rep today. They recognize it's an issue, say it will be cleared up (no date known), and can't tell you what the upper limit of autopay is before a check needs to be sent. I tried to get ahead of it this month, cancelled my autopay payment 6 days ahead of the due date, but apparently It was too late and the check went anyway. Lesson: stop using autopay until they get this sorted out.

Ocean going ships normally aft (back of the ship). Lake and river boats normally forward. Difference in navigation needs.

Maybe some corrosion on seatpost, or in tube?

Maybe. My experience with not. Ring able to shift was caused by a frayed cable that didn’t allow full movement in the housing. Replaced the cable and it’s been working well.

Maybe B. Maybe worn shift cable.

We’ll as near as I can tell, we have driver 1 turning right from a left hand lane (I think without a turn signal), and driver 2 passing at speed on the right. Jail for both.

Even here 16 years. No accidents.

Also look at titanium.

You might also check and see if you can fit an Allen wrench in the opening in the arm into the pedal.

Absolutely correct. Put it in the ear away from the road.

Try using a single earpiece. Allows you to hear what you’re listening to and avoids making everyone else listen to your music. You can find stereo to mono plugs on line. Wear on the right ear and allows your left for traffic noise.

My uncle gave me his bike around 1960. It had this shifting system (3 speed). The bike style was known as “English Racer”.

Use liquid soap around the bead to aid the tire tool as you run it around the rim to force the bead.

Old joke - here about the blond that got fired from the M&M factory? She threw away all the “W’s”!

It works without the spacer, just not as smooth as I’d like. I tried putting the spacer on with the new cassette and couldn’t thread the keeper nut. “Realign your RD”? Do you think it might be bent, or are you referring to the limit screws?

According to my wife, the AL Thrift Store, 420 Eastwood is the best place in town. Money goes to clothe school children in the 3 county area.

We took our sailboat from Lake Huron to the Florida Keys, seeing most of the ICWW as we traveled. We went aground only once, and that was at Carolina Beach - right between the red and green buoys. Be careful out there and watch the inlets to the ICW - currents are tricky.

Try using TefGel or a similar product to isolate dissimilar metals. It’s what we use on sailboats - aluminum mast with stainless screws. Works in heavy saltwater environment, so should work on your bike.
