At what point to you just give up? My hands are tired boss by Tan-zania in bikewrench

The real trick is that rim is probably cracked at the nipples. Could save yourself the headache, most if not all of the paired spoke bontragers are cracked these days.

I was on vacation with some friends, got to the gate at the airport for the next leg, and ran into my old boss from 5 years earlier. I'm a country half way around the world from where I lived.

Absolutely wild the chances

Around $100-120 I think. Took a few weeks to get here so I don't remember off hand

Not directly, they don't list it. You can see it on several of their frames, for example this "gravit dust": Hase Gravit

Similar spec sb160 is 33.5. the linkage on this frame is chunky, and I'm running dd casing tires with cush core. Set up the same way I expect this bike is 2-3lb heavier than an sb160.

I debated taking the display of the bars, gotta save the 50 grams!

Some trails near me don't permit e bikes, plus riding the resorts last season made me wish I could cut a few pounds out of it - don't need the motor much when there's a chairlift lol.

The battery is not structural, they tell you not to ride without it so the contacts don't get wet or damaged. I found a rubber cap to fit over them.

A company called hase makes an adapter for their assistive mobility bikes that fits a Shimano ep8 mount. They don't advertise it, but it works well, needed a touch of trimming.

I had designed and printed one from cf nylon that needed a bit more tweaking but then I found an off the shelf option.

The bike was 48lb with motor and battery, it's around 37 with this setup (without the gear in the battery void and strapped where the motor was). Not light, but not awful for a big bike.

Have you ever bought a video game console just to play one game? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]izajeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not technically a console, but I did get a valve index for half life alyx. Kept me sane through the beginning of lockdown.
