    A easy check is to pull off one caliper and have some one Very Slowly pull on the brake lever. When the pistons move out a little bit ask them to stop. Release the brake lever. Now try to push the piston back in. If it pushes in then there is nothing wrong with your line or master cylinder. If...

    Electric Bikes

    I do not think that electric vehicles will save the planet, I do think that they are better alternatives to gasoline vehicles. I do think that there are better alternatives to electric like natural gas and hydrogen. Hydrogen is the best but people worry about having is attached to their vehicle.

    First time with a passenger

    I think that you should crank it up to 7, i have tried 5-7 with my wife riding with me and it does make a big difference. We are about the same total weight and at 355 lbs with the max weight at 400 lbs on the bike to me it should be at 7.

    Top and side racks: Givi vs Sw-Motech

    i just installed the givi side and top racks. They seem very good quality. I have sat on the racks and at ~200 lbs i felt comfortable that they would not break under my weight. This weekend i also strapped a good 45-50 lbs of crap on it in a stuff sack and bunged it to the rack. I rode around...
