Oh yeah, spokes and hub issues. there are OEMs using IGH hubs that were never designed for the input torque of a mid drive motor. I had one come to me last year with a Sturmey Archer 5 speed fat bike hub that had the sharp edges of the drive pawls worn down to the point they would not stay engaged. When I contacted Sturmey Archer about possible warranty, they said no way as they have never approved any of their hubs for E bikes. I ended up doing a full overhaul on the hub with a bunch of new parts all at the customer's cost.

The number of these things has just exploded in the last couple of years in the places where we ride. I am also called on more and more to do wheel repairs on them. I had to expand my tooling to deal with 13 and 12 gauge spokes which I almost never saw before. I did a couple of electric front hub retrofits for my wife. The most recent one has been serving her well for 12 or 13 years. I may build one for myself at some point but I am not there yet.

In the ten minutes or so leading up to totality, the clouds had some small gaps that gave us a few teaser glimpses. Kind of like watching a fan dancer and seeing just enough to keep you riveted. The yard lights came on about 5 minutes before totality.

This is all we are getting to see.

Looks like some inter species action going on there.

How did they obtain the stats? If it was done by means of a questionnaire, I would say the results are highly suspect. Besides, who the hell does centimetres?

Late to the party but I guess It still took my vote.

The angle of the sun is perfect for us to view it in our back yard, but now the forecast says cloudy with showers.

I plod on in the vain hope that adieu will be the solution one day.

We are booked at the Mather campground for our stay in September. we didn't have any trouble finding sites, but probably a lot tougher during the summer. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232490?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2a6wBhCVARIsABPeH1u3yg4CtEg0hSC2rLfNEz98POwA1fs2QXlMIJ-CwhhcvplLwun0XZoaAiSxEALw_wcB

It was no joke when I was trucking. Random drug tests could pop up any time. You could be clear across the country and if your number came up, you had a limited time to get to a clinic in whatever town you happened to be in.
