Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Best way to do an e-bike is a conversion kit IMO.
Cheaper than a whole new bike, and doing it can teach you a thing or two about bike mechanics.
Disc brakes and thumb shifts were the best things added to bicycling ever, I think. As are newer, more ergonomic grips rather than straight bars.
Don't understand e-bikes for normal use though.
It's like people use it so they can act like they're going out biking for exercise but in actuality it's a half lie. E-bikes are usually capable of pedaling too, and yet I don't think I've ever seen the people who only ride e-bikes pedaling. Maybe ONE guy.
