No problem. I developed my troubleshooting process working (most recently) on 250 kiloWatt shortwave transmitters. Lotsa moving parts and high voltages there. Now that I'm retired it's difficult not to speculate what might be wrong with something.

Now it's pretending that my last post is "Rad's New Lineup Is Here".
If I try to delete it, my actual last post gets deleted.
Also, if I click at the "quote" button on the "Rad's New Lineup Is Here" post, then the quote is from my actual previous post. Rather disorienting.

Uh-oh. Photos in old posts return a "file not found" message.
For example - https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,9719.msg24710.html#msg24710

Also getting this red fault message in the editor, even if there aren't supposed to be any attachments (like in this post).
QuoteThe message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:
There was a problem and your attachments could not be uploaded
The attachments directory can not be located. Please notify an administrator of this problem.

On the other hand, we can now give temperatures because the degrees ยบ symbol works. Yay!

The forum hadn't been updated in some time, so it was time to get updated! You'll notice it looks slightly different, but it also operates better on mobile. If you notice any issues post them below. Otherwise, as always I appreciate everyone's support of using our Rad links before you buy (even if it is just an accessory).

We've got a bunch of new Rad content coming on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/ebikeescape

What's the story on that arch thing over the canal, from 02:15 to 02:18?

Hi John - I have been asked previously, I understand that it carries water from the adjacent culvert, although I have also been informed it is a service pipe for electricity. I'll try to get this clarified.  Appreciate the input.  Ride Rad

John - you're not far off of the mark.  The Rear Brake Lever and the Throttle control are basically on top of each other.

Rad asked me to loosen the throttle mechanism screw and rotate it until the cable from it was pointed directly down, vs. crimped against the cable from the brake lever.  I was (very) skeptical, but it actually worked.  No more issue. 

Thanks for chiming in.

There is another option - CO2


This is what I carry.

There's many others similar to this one on Amazon at a much lower cost. I believe there's a Pro Bike Tool one that has good reviews and is only about $17 for just the inflator and you just buy the cartridges separately. I bought this one at Trek because I wanted it right then and their store is less than a mile from my house. I used a mini hand pump before I got this.


I think if I was going to buy an electric one now, I would probably go with something like this because it's small/lightweight.
