I think the black would be pretty good on black fenders. Most of my commuting is done at night therefore more I can be seen the better. However I just received these new panniers and they have reflective stripe around them they seem to be pretty good.

How To Information / Re: Chain Care
January 13, 2022, 07:30:09 AM
I'll be honest I'm pretty bad about this. I only use dry lube currently that is Muc Off's dry lube. It's not too wet here which is why I use it. Most of the year I applied but once every three or four weeks. When it's raining it's every couple of days I put it on. I don't suggest people follow my chain maintenance.

looking for recommendations for bike locks for the RadRover 6 Plus - being a fat tire bike, I'd need a lock that is big enough for the fat tires....

I'm in a fairly large city, so i'd need a decent lock, but I don't see my bike being locked up for more than a few hours at a time at most, plus the majority of bike theft here are thefts of opportunity.

thanks!
The longest lock I know of is a kryptonite LS which I own and it does not go through the wheels 100%.

Wow I never thought about LED valve caps.

To be honest the reflective white line on the wheels is pretty impressive at night. Also my new panniers are also pretty bright with the reflective bands on them.

Black reflective tape on the fenders I think would look pretty good at night and decent during the day.

RadRunner / Re: Wheel size in display settings
January 10, 2022, 07:39:08 AM
I do know the size of my tires. What I'm trying to find out is the stock settings in the display and what size tire needs to be in there for the red runner plus.

RadRover / Re: Flashing front and rear lights

One of my wishlist items for stock equipment is the ability to have a flashing front light and rear light as a default.

I also use a cygo 350 rear light and it is seriously impressive and I swear by it. Expensive yes but damn it works well especially in daylight mode. Same goes for my cygo front light. In the daytime the daylight mode is impressive.

When you say you strip the axle what exactly does that mean?

RadRunner / Re: Wheel size in display settings
January 06, 2022, 07:32:43 AM
I think you're correct and 22-in wheels are supposed to be the default. However I don't understand this.
Is there a way for anyone to check on their rad runner plus the wheel size and the display settings?

I would also suggest if you're not going to use loctite then use some anti-seize compound and if you don't have that regular grease.

Damn. So the fuse is the fall back. Wish it didn't have to work like this. I never even thought about this until now.

General Chat / Reflective tape
January 05, 2022, 10:26:26 PM
Looking for suggestions on brand of reflective tape to add to my bikes. I've read reviews on Amazon and they don't seem that great. Seems like the really nice tape that's highly reflective doesn't like to be applied to round objects.
I'm most curious if anyone's used the black reflective tape and how well that works. I've never seen it in the wild.

General Chat / Battery weight. Old versus new
January 05, 2022, 10:22:52 PM
Is it my imagination or do the new batteries weight less than the old batteries?
My old battery is from my mini 4 2020 versus my Rad Runner Plus that's 4 weeks old. I don't have a scale to weigh them. The difference doesn't seem that great. Both batteries fit between both bikes.

Showers Pass does make some quality product but a bit pricey.
