And if we get any representation.

They would love the NLRB to be unconstitutional wouldn't they...

It's very good. I haven't seen signs of breakage yet and it's permanently loaded with 2.5kg of weight. I was considering an Arkel but it wouldn't have worked as well for my purpose. I've got a convertible Arkel pannier though!

No kidding though, you look at a our made bags and outsource made ones, and there's a difference in price but not a huge one.

Not a Thudbuster but I used to have one before replacing it with this so I can provide even more info. 🫠 It's a Kinekt. I liked the Thudbuster and wouldn't ride without it. My back pain disappeared. That said the Kinekt is better. Specifically because there's a preload adjustment. The Thudbuster is either bouncy during normal riding or stiffer than you need it due to the nature of its adjustability. You put a different elastomer, each covering a range of weights. It's fine and it works, but the Kinekt allows for precise adjustment via preload to eliminate bounciness during normal riding. I think the Suntour NCX might be even better and it's cheaper if you don't care about its weight.

I don't recall where I got them from anymore. I think I've had them for a decade now. 😂

Now, it appears that Yaccarino's management tactics were so effective that Google is weighing the benefits of forming "a broader partnership" with Twitter, possibly investing more in Twitter ads or paying to access Twitter data.

Is someone testing the waters for offloading a depreciating asset to Google?

So the way to truly delete ones content is to mass edit and replace with "fuck spez"?

Testing.

E: Seems to work.

Try a reputable bicycle brand mid-drive ebike at an expo or a store if you get a chance. You may not necessarily want that but it'll give close to the best experience an ebike can give.

Indeed their in-house options aren't cheap but then again, the difference in quality is significant. This direct-drive hub motor for example weighs full 2kg less than the equivalent imports. That's all down to engineering, materials used and accuracy of manufacturing. The other options like are significantly cheaper. I'm running a geared Bafang myself due to its lower weight (2.6kg vs 4.2kg). The lower weight is due to the type of motor - geared vs direct-drive. The lapses in quality are obvious. For example water resistance is not great at all. If Grin make an equivalent small and light geared hub, I'd probably buy it as it'll most likely address Bafang's deficiencies and it might be lighter too.

 

Re-post without the modified title.

 

Feature highlights:

  • Thru-axle and QR compatible
  • Built-in torque arm
  • 11-speed cassettes
  • Integrated cadence PAS sensor
  • Made in Canada

Sadly it didn't get a torque PAS sensor.

If you're in the market for an electric conversion kit and you like the idea of direct-drive hubs, it probably doesn't get better than this.

 

Built it around 2012 out of a second hand MTB frame along with some new and old components. Served well for a few years. Sold to a friend who still rides it.
