E-Bikes

It was warm enough today that I pulled my bike out into the sun so I could see the clearance of the rotor in between the calipers and started my adjusting. It didn't take much effort or time to get the rotor running free within the brake. With that working out so easy, I decided to attack the out of round problem with the wheel. Not that it was difficult but it took a lot more time. tightening the high areas and loosening the low area spokes was really a trial and error sort of thing. I used a white crayon to mark the half of the wheel that needed to be closer to the center and then marked the center of that half. Working outward from the center of the out and the center of the in, tightening and loosening, I got the wheel pretty round. From high to low it was over 3/8" out of round. Math told me that in and out 3/16" was the answer. It's not perfect and I'll fine tune my efforts on a warmer day. At least it's not like riding on an egg shaped wheel.

I was anxious to ride so I put my tools up and hopped into my bike gear and went riding. I rode the same three loops I've been riding lately and then rode a partial loop and a loop in town for a total of 39 miles. I've been getting 34 miles per charge in this cold and the wobbling wheel. My wheel tune up gained me five miles on a charge. In round numbers, a 14% increase. The best part is it isn't wearing out my brake. I'm happy. It felt good to be riding but I saw nobody riding. There was a South wind but it did squeak into the low fifties.

NFL 2O25

With the big money setting the over/under score at 42 points, It struck me a bit odd that the Steelers seemed to let the Dolphins score two TD's in the 4th to make the total score reach 43. I'm not calling anyone out but it didn't look right and certainly not good for football. I don't bet so I wasn't affected but I'm pretty sure there were some sore losers created over the end of that game.

What's for dinner ?

So last night I made sloppy Joe's. I haven't had them in three or four decades :D :thumbsupdroid:
Sloppy joes are an underrated meal.
Sloppy Joes were a regular in the dinner menu rotation when I was growing up and when I raised my children. I've never tried Manwich and have always made it from scratch. Ground beef and diced onion ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Good eating.
I've had manwich, but I'm with you, go from scratch. That said, Joe probably has limited capacity in the truck.
