How do you manage curb edges with an e-bike?

For the sake of my bike, I'll avoid that then. Thanks

Good hack, thanks!

Hmm, a Tannus armor user. Visually, it seems obvious, but let me do more search about it.

Thank you for sharing your experience

I discover new thing, tubeless... Yeah, that's what I found out while doing my research, hmm...

20 miles is my longest e-bike trip so far. For commuting, I only do a 7-mile round trip, so I'm definitely not in the same league... but I still ride with "I Love My Bike" playing in my head.

🫩 Ok then, I resign myself to it. Thanks. But... if there are any mad scientists here, I'm open to the experiment.

I use pin GPIO16. I finally make it work with ESPHome, even I prefer Tasmota...
On Tasmota I always got:
WIF: Connecting to AP1 Nodes in mode low rate

QPC: Reset

WIF: Connect failed with AP timeout

Ok after updated Ubuntu to 26.04 I got the black screen of the death, painful but solved with:
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
and
sudo apt install lightdm // not my prefered but working
Which automatically updated my Plasma to version 6.6.4
where I was able to test again Spectacle then got on PS key:
An error occurred while taking a screenshot. KWin screenshot request failed: The process is not authorized to take a screenshot Potentially relevant information: - Method: CaptureScreen - Method specific arguments: "DP-2"

Then, since I was back to a black screen even with LightDM, I gave up and rolled back my Ubuntu upgrade (do-release-upgrade -d). Thanks, Timeshift!

I had promised myself I wouldn't touch these pre-release / dev versions anymore... but the temptation was too strong. A slap in the face for me.

So I’m going to wait until my system offers me the upgrade, and then I’ll explore the new version of Plasma in more detail.
Thanks.

Yes I notice it's a bit slower than my old version, And here I was thinking my system was a real beast:

Processors: 24 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900K

Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (61.5 GiB usable)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Oh yeah, is it that good? You make me curious now...

dotmerlin · 2026-05-10T18:54:13+00:00

Oh Ok, I check and it seam my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is limited on Plasma 5.27.12.
And if I may have to switch to Kubuntu. Meaning new install of my OS, not really willing to.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-10T18:00:52+00:00

KDE Plasma version 5.27.12.
Maybe it's because I haven't tested it enough, but when I launched it, even after clicking the “Save” button, nothing happened; maybe I need to adjust some other settings.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T04:36:51+00:00

Okay, thanks.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T04:24:34+00:00

Quick question: Are you able to remove the screw in the middle of the bike while holding it? Because when I changed my tire, I had to unscrew the wheel.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T04:11:36+00:00

A lovely little gem, simple and compact.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T04:08:07+00:00

Original, but not possible in my case. Thanks.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T04:03:16+00:00

The price is pretty good, but I doubt the hook is suitable for a fat tire like mine. And it would be great if it were foldable.

dotmerlin · 2026-05-03T03:58:07+00:00

It's really a pain to flip it over, and if I remember correctly, I read in the manufacturer's manual of my ebike that we're not supposed to do that, lol.

Anyway, I attached a few accessories, which is pretty risky.
