I have to fly to Nashville Sunday-Wednesday this week for work. Not really thrilled about it given the infection rates right now. Also not happy because I have to stay at a Hilton (instead of Marriott) and have to fly Southwest instead of a real airline.

Felt terrible and glad I wasn’t involved. The driver and trash men both treated us to a stream of invective as they drove off.

That is painful. Feel for him.

What's this about you cruising along at 35 mph? All this talk about old and slow. Can't BS this BS'er.

Electronic shifting wouldn't move the needle for my wife, either... but she's certainly interested in the idea of riding with the assistance of a motor.

Ugh. Makes me dislike the drivers even more.

I proposed it to my wife so I could get it later.

I may have to post this in “bicycle mechanics” but will start local. I have a Williams 38 crabon wheel that is 10s but would like to convert to 11s if possible. Williams wheels is defunct. Any idea how to find a compatible freehub body? See pics below:

And you're sure that it's not 11-sp compatible?

I'm good there. Mine doesn't see the benefit of ebikes, and believes it takes away from the fitness aspect of riding.

She does see the benefit for those who otherwise cannot get out and ride.

Drop her more often and she'll see the benefit. :innocent:

My rides with her are no drop. I still have a libido that needs satisfying from time to time.

She does look at Nordic Tugs with a certain interest, though.
