๐๐ฒ45min to change a tube on the rear wheel (motor hub) of the #BikeFriday tandem, with a few bike racks as a work stand ๐ slime tube ๐ weak valve stem, I'm going to stick to conti with the metal stem. #BikeTooter
It's amazing how much faster the #bikeFriday tandem is with the fixed-geared #GrinMAC motor (max speed 22mph, maybe needs a field-weakening adjustment) vs the #supercargo with 350W 13mph assist w/clutch. No stoker/passenger, mostly downhill, but up Terwilliger to Condor, up Ankeny to the 20s. The heavier bike will go faster downhill but weaker motor vs mostly doing 20mph the whole time made 10-12 min difference even with me putting in much more work on the supercargo, cooler day etc. #eBikes
@The Bike Friday Haul-a-day is such a versatile bike. It carries two kids or two bikes or heaps of cargo. It can stand vertical, fits on a train, it can extend and contract for different sized riders and come apart for packing.
I love this thing.

TIL 8-speed freewheels exist, and even maybe 11-34t ones, which would be wider range than the 11-28 cassette on my #bikeFriday tandem project. I was given a direct-drive motor with the thread-on freewheel mount that I thought would only be useful up to 7sp. Am I hallucinating, #BikeTooter? Are sellers listing things as "freewheel" because they don't know it's a cassette, or did sunrace etc actually start making these for the #eBikes motors that don't have a freehub / cassette mount?

Putting a tsdz2 on a #bikeFriday but then he doesn't fold it?? Please tell me that still works #BikeTooter. The hose clamp seems iffy but at least that direction is just holding the motor's weight vs any bumps you hit. The driving force of the motor is counteracted by pressing against the [brake/shift cables] seat tube in this case.

I did some very basic upgrades to my #BikeFriday. In the foreground is a Crane bell from #Osaka. It has the Kanji character for Protection painted on it. It sounds wonderful and they have an even better one in brass. While advertised as an #Omamori bell, they did disclose that these bells haven't actually been blessed by a Shinto priest. I will have to go back to Osaka to take care of that.
In the background, at the top of the stem, I installed a clever cellphone mount from Loop. #bike
A pretty good crowd for the Earth Day #Bike Bus for grownups in #Portland. My route was more straightforward than it looked on the map, and the commute seems doable for sure. Also Other Nate (he probably calls me the same) introduced himself @voiceofunreason. Good to meet other Portland Mastodon folks. #BikeTooter #BikeFriday
Today's #Eugene #Oregon adventure to the Bike Friday factory to pick up my new All-Day. They do great work. I mean, just look at it! #BikeFriday #bike #BikeTooter
