The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVII

Leingod · 06-10-2020, 07:37 AM

To appease Susan and go bike riding with her, I plan to get a bike and convert it to an e-bike. Anyone have recommendations on a good mountain or hybrid style bike? The frame needs to be 68mm-72mm for a mid mount motor to be installed.

I plan to get a bafang 750w mid motor kit with either a 14ah or 17.5ah tube style battery.

I'z up.

Got a guy coming to the house today to look at the motorhome. He wants to rent it for 4 different times. He going to 4 different races. He's into circle track.

70F with a high of 90F. Bet is goes higher like yesterday.

Rain tonight.

How much do you want to pay for a MT bike?

Frame size is based on how tall you are. Stand over the bike. On a MT, there should be about 4" between the crossbar and your crotch. Road bike 2".

I have a Trek 990 MT bike. It's an older cro-moly frame.

The ride is between the flexy Ti frame and the stiff aluminum frame. Carbon frame are a different animal. They can be anything from flexy to down right super stiff. The other thing is tire size. 26" or the new 29".

The stand over height is an old school measurement style. It's actually based more on seat tube length. A good bike shop will be able to properly fit you.

Aluminum frame is the way to go, especially since he'll probably be mouting the battery pack on the downtube.

Aluminum frame for sure. When you find a bike you like, send me the specs on it and I'll tell you if it's a decent bike.

Honestly, do you have any recommendations? I have never owned a bike before. No clue where to look or start. I'm trying to keep it under $300 because I don't even know if it'll be used much. I also know to not go out and buy whatever Wally World has on sale.

I assume i'd get a hybrid because the majority of cruises would be on the street.

Do not go to walmart or any big box store. Their bike are junk. I call them throw away bikes. You use them for a season and throw them away. They'll need so much work at the end of the season that it will cost at least double the original cost of the bike to repair them.

Without knowing what your local bike shops carry, there's no way for me to give you a recommendation. I can tell you that anything you're going to want to put the bafang set up on is going to be over $300. If you were out here, I could get you a great deal. Three of my friends own bike shops.
