I'm only 71, so I still have my mountain bike. I'm in Utah and I love my ebike, but I consider the two bikes as 2 circles on a vin diagram - some overlap and some not. I head to Moab regularly - there's nothing like puking up blood climbing to Burro at 11,000' on TWE and ebikes aren't allowed...
I'm 71 and have mountain biked since 1989. I also live at 6500 ft elevation and am an "empty nester", so I have more time available to ride than you do. But I can empathize with your priorities! In my case, I need to limit the weight of the bike to under about 50 pounds (my shoulders aren't...
"Keep your powder dry". There are some really interesting bikes that have just dropped and I'm betting more will come out in the next 6+ weeks. Your options in Sweden may be quite different than your options in the U.S. We all have different priorities as well and there are some smoking deals...
Can you access "Amazon"? I have the Pirelli brand in a 29 and in the 27.5 I have an off-brand cheaper one for my wife's bike. Turbolito makes them as well, so you should be able to get them from various online sellers or at a local shop.
Yeah, they are space efficient and light. I have a sous vide vacuum that is handy in that you can put a tube (either one, regular or fancy) in and vacuum pack it to take up less space. Normally it's not a problem but space between my seat (when down) combined with bottoming out suspension is at...
This seems unlikely. There are probably plenty of motorcycles and scooters available that can be filled with fuel (even if you have to siphon it out of another vehicle) or regular bikes. OTOH, plugging in a charger after an airstrike or artillery barrage doesn't seem like a good option.
Enough insulation. I'm in Utah and my garage generally stays above about 35F even when it's -15F out.
Electric back up in the form of batteries integrated into the system.
Security - automatic dead bolts and release cords that can't be accessed between door panels.
I need up/down doors, Vs...
I tried using Turbolight inserts for a short time. The set up acted like a butter churner and separated out the latex from my sealant making it ineffective for sealing holes. Also, removing the tire (in the event that is needed on the trail) was very difficult. I removed them front and back as...
For tubeless operation, sealant is essential, otherwise any punctures you get while riding will not seal.
Everyone has their favorite sealant. I use Orange Seal, but it's only personal preference. I've used Stans, but I opened up a tire once and the solids in it had coalesced into something that...
