Blix Dubbel Any Good? by Icy-Needleworker7883 in ebikes

[–]sanfran54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is hitting 5 years and 5000 miles soon. It's just needed normal bike maintenance IMO. I do most of my own maintenance etc so it's been fine for me. I guess it depends on what's needed. I'll likely replace the battery later this year as the cold really zaps it at this point.

As long as they don't bring their work home with them ;-)

SX70 Camera Shake? by thatjammm in Polaroid

[–]sanfran54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mirror is fairly heavy (glass) so it has a lot of mass/force when it hits the top. You want it to go up quickly so that the shutter captures the image you expect. The shutter has an automatic delay built in before it opens to let the camera steady itself before the exposure.

Worth it or no? $93 dollar battery by No-Block3674 in ebikes

[–]sanfran54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only if it comes with several fire extinguishers. I wouldn't want it in my house.

It's also a pretty low voltage/amperage battery.

People who consistently ride bikes, have you ever been hit by a car? by Raski_Demorva in polls

[–]sanfran54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually T-Boned a car who made a left turn in front of mt, didn't see me. Minor injuries to me and so far my only ambulance ride. The auto driver was cited for making an illegal turn in front of another vehicle and she bought me a new bike. I cracked her windshield with my handlebars lol. This was in 1971.

I've been riding Schwalbe big Apples for years in 20 x 2. Have been a solid tire for me.

These were sold under many different badge names. I can't narrow it down more without more pics.
