Stop-Start has been a thing for about a decade on some models and I haven’t heard any long term, widespread issues with engine or starter wear, but I’m sure FCA will find a way.

PIZZA.BAT posted:The office I'll be commuting to once things open up again is about 30 mins away via bike and I've been looking into getting one as it seems like it'd be a lot nicer vs sitting in traffic. The problem is I live in Pittsburgh and will have to climb some pretty steep / big hills every day and was interested at the prospect of an ebike to boost me up hills while I pedal the rest of it. Why are ebikes a hard no?  There’s an ebike containment thread.

Vando posted:The point I was making is that not every tire/wheel combo goes on in the same way, not that it's some weird impossible task. My next step was to take it to a shop where they have a compressor, because they have a use for such a tool. collecting $100 tools for edge cases is the bicycle maintenance thread’s mission statement.

Talk to me about tailgate pads for bikes? They seem good, but i have a vision of launching all my bikes under a semi after hitting a pothole at 80 mph on the expressway.

Amazon has captured the relaxed IP knockoff market space; it is a bummer because it isn’t as interesting as shopping on aliexpress.

We’re a nation of coal rollers and 1kw cb radios, donks and carolina squats, street racers and hypermilers drafting 3ft behind semis, rules lawyers and HOAs. Coherent, effective regulation around ebikes is difficult to conceive of here. I like the accessibility but I worry about ebikes on MTB trails and dense urban MUPs for the same reason I worry about a dirt bike or moped there; the speed difference increases bad outcomes and sightlines and turns are not set up for higher speeds. I went to a university that had pedestrians and regular bikes on the same pathways and there were so many collisions every semester. I can’t imagine what the outcomes would’ve been if the bikes were going twice as fast.

Many years ago at the aforementioned university an acquaintance bought a gas powered skateboard and it fell into the same category of neither road nor sidewalk legal. Turns out you can’t sneak around with a 2 stroke weed whacker motor around bored campus cops.

There are things like velosock or bike covers for covering your bike when in a hitch carrier. Is there any similar thing that just covers the handlebars/fork/front wheel for use with a tailgate pad in winter? I’ve seen enough corrosion from road salt that I’d like to keep it off.

Hadlock posted:I saw an ad a while back that kids first bicycles weigh ~33% of their body weight. That would be equivalent to learning to ride a bike on a 60 lb bike for me The bike forum people think so. I think it matters what you’re doing with them. Tooling around your new-build Illinois subdivision that used to be a cornfield and a topology that geometricists use to calibrate planes? No worries. Moderately hilly neighborhoods? Mountain biking? Lighter probably helps.

CopperHound posted:If you value your time or or not particularly handy, I would suggest you start by asking local shops what ebikes they are willing/know how to work on. The ‘good’ ebike review sites are just usually just restating the press release and spec sheet. Even if they went to the trouble of getting a demo/press bike, bad reviews don’t get referral commissions and mfrs stop sending bikes to you. The bad ones are just gpt-3 rewrites of the good ones.

The various odms are a good analogy actually. Some Dells are Dell designed. Some are reference designs from Intel. Some are codeveloped by Wistron or Quanta. Some are off the shelf from Inventec with a Dell badge. Most are not built by Dell. If you Kramered into the laptop thread and insisted Apple was actually owned by Foxconn and they were the same product, you’d get the same response as “Trek is actually Giant” is getting here. That bikes are all built in a handful of factories in Taiwan or China wouldn’t be a surprise in 1994.

I know people that ride 5” tires in unpacked snow but have roughly same pace and efficacy as wearing someone giant clown shoes. I have a fat bike I do most of my mountain biking on but I would not take it on what I understand an average gravel ride distance or pace.
