Calling them ‘acoustics’ is not as vulgar as what my friend calls them. The term he uses whenever he uses his is… “I rode my non-eBike today.” :oops::censored:

Well I’m glad you did. Nobody is sandbagging anyone. If my recommendation appeared that way, it certainly wasn’t my intention…

ANIARA - “a masterpiece you haven’t seen.“ A Swedish Sci-Fi movie Turn on the English subtitles and wear your ‘big girl panties’ (a figure of speech).

. Disney better bring back Johnny Depp or else!! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:;)

I had to watch the trailer to figure out whether I’ve seen it or not. Halfway through I still wasn’t sure, then… oh yeah, I’ve seen it not too long ago. @Zimmerframe was right - kinda like a long deodorant advertisement (or was it a multi-blade shaver?). ?

Yes yes, lots of stand options out there. (y) But I’m learning how to TIG weld and the bike stand is a welding exercise. I’m also welding other stuff, not necessarily all relating to bikes. Although, a cromoly bike frame might be in the cards… if I get better at it. ?

Beautiful works of art those!! Class1 welders ‘walk-the-cup’ when you see weld beads that look like lace ribbons like those (as opposed to stacking-dimes). Sooo hard to do evenly, and those guys make it look like a robot did it. I’ve past crawling and only just beginning to walk, and could be...

Thanks! I’ve also used proper repair stands before in the past (including ParkTool, but I can’t remember the model) and it’s always nice to have BOTH wheels off the ground when working on a bike. But heavier EEBs do wobble a bit. A singular clamp held against the seat post might also be...

I’m a big fan too of the good ol’tube sticking out of a wall or bench! There's a wash pit by the car park at a local bike park with a pipe sticking out of a concrete wall next to a water hose. I've been meaning to make one up in my driveway. - There’s a bit of a background as to why I made a...

I wonder if our current EEBs will look just as comical 20 years from now? ??

Speaking of Charlize gazing… The Old Guard ain’t half bad. It’s still listed on Netflix - if ‘Theron’ turns your lights on… ;)

I was hoping that would be enough, but after seeing the flimsy fight scenes (as you aptly described) in the movie trailer - I’ve decided to give it a miss. My limit when it comes to this type of movie genre (overly gorgeous Amazon warrior fighting catwalk models) would be Atomic Blonde. At the...

I’ve lost track of what’s already been covered/suggested. I’m curious about “Hardcore Henry.” Any one seen it yet?

Female presenter asks, “What’s so good about this bike?” :oops: …. :unsure::giggle:

I don’t know about other EEBs but the Giant Trance e+Pro presents a dilemma when it comes to finding a spot to ‘hook’ a bike stand prong into. I’ve had several attempts in studying how to design a bike stand for it (that can also function as a work stand), but I’m left stumped each time. The...
