I think the trailgator costs some fraction of what the followme does, so I don't expect much, but it looks like the kid's steering is loose (handlebars wiggling) and the kid's bike is leaning to one side courtesy of a twisted / under-tightened seatpost clamp (I'm looking at you, #pdxBikes#SundayParkways dads)
@Andres4NY number go up though, and as long as they don't have to worry about competition, it's just going to keep getting worse (here I'm referring to recent labcorp experiences, so not just CVS.)
A good enough install of the Grin All-Axle v3 on a Tern GSD v2. The motor controller tucked snugly under the rack, excess wiring is spiraled around whatever is handy. The battery looks ridiculous but will do until I order something meant for this bike. Adding an all throttle system to an all pedelec e-bike feels very peanut butter and chocolate.
@kevinschaper@HayiWena what's your regen voltage and max regen amps from that hill? (assuming you have the cycleanalyst, or estimated average if you were watching wattage on the display)
@kevinschaper@HayiWena I don't think the added torque will be much of an issue for the fork, assuming that reversed loading under power doesn't wreck the headset or something directional about the fork piston bearings. Weight in the hub probably does more to the spokes than the fork, unless it's frequently hitting the suspension limits with added momentum. Also I think the grin motor is lighter than many direct drive ones.
@kevinschaper you might try loosening and tightening the axle and arm parts in different orders, if something is being tweaked by the other being tightened.
remembering now, the trigger on my bubble duck is mechanical, so it activates the fan and pump circuits but also moves a soap wiper to prime the wand rather than having a rotary wand. Between trying to mount that and getting a rope/cable pull scheme together, I could probably more easily find a more e-bike compatible bubble dispenser to wire-in and remote button / switch... The quacking is fun though. cc #KiddicalMass
@lkanies@marcprecipice@ascentale@trouble seems a bit overpowered though, as bubble-making goes, I clicked through expecting to see something much much less serious like the device would be a clown holding a pinwheel of bubble wands, mine is a duck and it quacks while dispensing bubbles, I never quite got the mounting and remote activation worked out on the xtracycle though, someone should make one with a 7/8-ish clamp and wire to a remote button. #BikeNite
@Karstan I hate the long-ass candybar form-factor of this pixel so much that I can't be bothered, maybe I should get one with a better size and do some work on it and then switch over. Bricking a thing is one thing but bricking the thing is 😞
should we be concerned about 11% turnout the week before the Tuesday where you can drop your ballot in a box at the last minute? I mean is that procrastination a progressive thing? Or is it like a strategy, waiting for one of the campaigns to crack like they often do when they think they have it in the bag?
I can't believe how #Portland voters keep electing the right-wing candidates, maybe the progressives moved out to Beaverton. Schmidt has gotten nothing but bad faith from the police and the republican city council isn't doing us much good either.
low turnout is always a win for reactionary conservatives who want to sic the government on certain other people, so I guess that's why I feel like the majority might make better decisions if they would bother to vote.
The Street Trust Action Fund endorsements seem pretty good, but Jayapal is the reason a bunch of GOP/dark money is getting thrown at Dexter's campaign, why endorse both?
lmao wweek in May 2020 "But the district attorney in the state's largest county is a thought leader and a policy leader." endorsing the candidate that was not endorsed by the police union, vs now "a technician, not a politician. That’s what this office needs"
@whack the only free water comes from above you, and it only stays free if you have something clean up there to keep it in. Also whatever you come up with will get algae or some other nature trying to take it from you.
