The helmets are MET Terra. This model is out of production and replaced with a MET TerraNova. My wife's jacket is a ProViz Switch 360. I did a video on that jacket, see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8FRKVuYYZiE.html. My jacket is a Leatt DBX 5.0 All Mountain MTB Waterproof Jacket.
Tengo 70 años y soy fanático de las bicicletas plegables. Tengo tres: una A-bike, una plegable rodado 20 y otra plegable rodado 26, sólo me faltaría tener la rodado 16 y la rodado 24 como la de este vídeo. Las que tengo las uso seguido y por eso me siento física y mentalmente mejor que mejor. Saludos cordiales desde Cúcuta en la frontera colombo venezolana 🇨🇴🇻🇪 Sur América
I just found out about this chage recently whilst talking to my gasfitter. I don't have a problem with the change, but would be interested to know if there is a safetey issue that I came across years ago whilst changing out a forklift bottle. The fork gas bottle has that same feature of not allowing gas out of the cylinder until thje fiting is attached. However, in the incident I mentioned, I once changed out a cylinder, not realising that the tap had been left openAs a consequence, I got a gas burn on my hand when I inserted the fitting and straight away the gas came out before having a chance to screw in the fitting! After that, I made it a habit to check the tap prior to fitting the hose, but I have so far not seen any comments about this happeningI would be interseted to know if it can still happen with these new fittings, as currently I don't have one ot try out.
Firstly, you make a good comment that you should always check that a valve is properly closed before attaching or removing a fitting. Secondly, it sounds like both the forklift LPG bottle and the propane bottle (in the video) use a similar kind of safety/check valve. However removing our attaching a fitting to the bottle when the valve is open will always create some kind of pressure blow back even if only momentary. The tightening nut on the propane bottles have a shroud that should give some protection from the gas blow back when removing the fitting when the valve is open but the bigger problem could be the tightening nut flying out of your hands from the back pressure. I haven’t tested this and I really don’t intend to try it. The best and safest way to handle these fittings is to always double check that the valve is closed when attaching or removing a fitting.
Following your comment, I have searched online for either POL to LCC27 adaptors or LCC27 to POL adaptors and found none to suit LCC27 fittings in Australia. There are plenty of QCC to POL adaptors for the US market (available online in Australia through foreign sellers), but these are not for the Australian market, so my comments are restricted to the Australian specification for the LCC27 fitting. A gas bottle fitted with an LCC27 valve assembly accepts both LCC27 and POL fittings, so no adaptor required there! If you have a bottle with a POL valve assembly the easiest, simplest and safest way to allow it to accept a LCC27 fitting is to go to a petrol station or hardware store and swap your old POL bottle for a bottle with a LCC27 valve assembly. If you were to attach a fitting to an old POL bottle to accept a LCC27 fitting then you are introducing another possible source for leaks. Also this suggests that your bottle is older and it would be wise to change it over for a newer bottle that accepts both fittings. The swap system does not care if the bottle is yours or belonging to some other swap brand. They are happy to have your business. You are not talking about a lot of extra money to swap the bottle over either. Additionally, if you want to keep the swapped bottle and then get it refilled instead of swapping it then you can do that. My recommendation is to go with the safer option and not use inline adaptors when there is a simpler and safer system available.
Instead of looking for and purchasing an adaptor, consider either buying or swapping your bottle. The new valve assemblies accommodate both POL and LCC27 fittings
Nice. Very good explanation of torque 👍 My HSD performance line motor has 65nm torque, love it, but if it had come in the stronger Cargo line I would’ve bought that instead, for more power/speed up big hills. We pootle up them at 4mph loaded up 😂
@@Bulsebub I think you still can find fatmax, I get mine today here in Sweden. I've seen those are available in Germany and Netherlands too. Do if you can't find at your place maybe those can send them to you.
You are correct about the bags denting and such with only a bit of use. When we were selling these bags I would always point that out to potential customers. Sometimes it was a deal breaker and more often than not it wasn’t. There’s a few ways to look at this. Firstly all bags will scratch and dent regardless of which material they are made from. Secondly, they are aluminium so some dents can be beaten out. Thirdly the dents give them charm and make them uniquely yours. In light of them denting and scratching they do tend to outlast just about everything else. I had a client who gave me a 45 year old ZH suitcase that I used as a display. He retired and didn’t need it anymore. He was a person that traveled internationally for many months of each year that he owned the bag. It was dented and scratched, but still good enough to travel with.
I just picked up a S10 Gen1 for $1100 with only 150 miles in excellent condition. Purchased for my wife as she feels uncomfortable on a standard 26” wheel bike. I think it’s a fantastic fun bike to ride! May get one for myself!
Very informative. I just got a new outdoor heater with the new connection and I thought what the hell is going on here lol. Just solved my problem. Thankyou
Hi I am getting a second hand - actually a third hand Tern Touring S8i here in india. What checks and balances should I look for before buying the cycle?? Please guide as in this part of the world we actually dont have anyone who understands folding bikes, internal gear hubs or Dynamo hubs. There’s a lot of intel on external gears hubs but negligible for internal.
One of the Node models has a protective plastic guard around the chain. Does this make a lot of noise as the chain passes through it? It is a nice idea since I don't like getting chain oil on my pant leg. Thank you.
Thanks. Very helpful and informative. I bought a gas bottle gauge from Bunnings today, not realising it had the LCC27 connection. It was only when I checked on line that I learned about the change from POL to LCC in 2021 and found myself suddenly pannicking, thinking that if I changed out my Swap and Go bottle it wouldn't be compatible with my BBQ, Caravan, etc. Reasuring to know that I can still connect both types.
The latches on this version of the Attache have not aged well. Those look sooooooo clunky. Great video on the history and features of the Halliburton Zero Classic line. I went with a Slimline case over the premiere which I think has been discontinued.
Thanks for the review. I think Terns are real quality and worth the premium for a robust e-bike. I’ve been looking for a foldable e-bike to put in the back of my Jeep for adventures and suchlike. I would prefer something more compact, but think this would be a better bet for taking the hard knocks when I’m 6’5” and 110kgs, as I’d worry that cheaper brands might snap and fall to pieces.
Thanks for your comment. Check out my video on the Tern Vektron folding eBike that I rode to Australia's highest mountain ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zhnfz8yR35E.html I also did a separate video showing just the features of the Vektron ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-94eqnqFahk8.html
@@FormanddesignAu Thanks mate. I’ve checked out your other excellent videos and whilst I’d prefer the folding bike for the convenience of placing into my short-wheel base Jeep, I’m worried it might not be quite strong enough, as I’m quite a big, tall guy. I’ve looked Tern’s website and like the look of the latest HSD S+ model, which has a Gates belt-drive and an automatic gearbox that seems great for a low maintenance, easy hop-on and ride experience. Very expensive though. It’s kind of semi-folding, so I might be able to just squeeze it into my vehicle. Have you had a chance to look at this model? What are your thoughts about this bike?
I think the HSD is the nicest of the TERN eBikes to ride. I've sold quite a few of them. Being a Professional Mechanical Engineer, I tend to personally prefer the simpler things like a derailleur. The auto changing is good, however you still have to change the desired cadence frequently for the auto to work properly. For example, normal riding on a flat you would set the cadence to 60rpm. When going up a steep hill, or when you want to accelerate fast from a standstill you would want to select 90 rpm. The only downside is that you have to use the + and - keys on the controller to do this and it adjusts one unit at a time. There are no presets. This kind of takes the gloss off the whole "auto" changing thing. It works well but.... One caveat, is that you can set the controller to change gears manually using the + and - buttons on the controller, but that defeats the purpose of having an auto. My preference is to keep it simple. Go for a high torque motor and a big battery and a derailleur. They are messy, get dirty, need adjusting etc, but anyone can fix and adjust them. The Gates drive thing is also a bit over-rated in my opinion. But if you are riding in a relatively flat area, and you are not prone to sudden bursts of acceleration, then go for the fully auto and you won't be dissapointed. If you are in a hilly area with lots of traffic, like I am in Sydney, then keep it simple and change the gears yourself with a derailleur rather than a hub gear set.
Great video Andrew. Thanks for sharing. I remember, back in the 60's my Dad drove us all the way to the top in an old Ford station wagon. Back in the day when the road was still open all the way to the summit..
I had the same experience, but we were a Holden family. Next time that we drove up we could only go as far as Rawson Pass and walk to the top. That would have been in the late 70’s. Then by the early 80’s Pioneer coaches ran a service from Perisher, in summer obviously, to Rawson Pass. No cars were allowed when the buses started running. By the mid 80’s no cars or buses were allowed past the Charlotte Pass lookout. Nowadays I walk it or use my eBikes.
It sounds like you need a cargo bike. It just so happens that Moustache has made a very capable cargo bike and it just so happens that I have made a video of it. So for someone who needs more of everything watch this: Best Cargo ebike: Moustache Lundi 20 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oTfvhkjS-Ro.html
Thanks for a great video. I have one of these clocks. It sucks that I have to manually set (via my phone) daylight savings time on or off. My WiFi connected weather station clock deals with DST changes automatically so I don’t really understand why this movement can’t do the same thing?
The POL connector has a nitrile rubber seal on the tip. I can't see any form of seal on the LCC27. How does the LCC27 regulator seal to an LCC valve? And how does the POL regulator seal to the LCC27 valve? Edit to add: The original POL connector did not have a seal and used metal on metal but quite quickly manufacturers found it was prone to leak so they added a variety of rubber seals; settling on the bullnose and oring variety. Will Australia need to go through the same discovery process?
Hahaha, you nailed it. "Look at this thing - it's awesome". As a man in mid 30s i found this video just because i googled what the heck is that awesome fat tyre kickbike. Lol.
My concern about this clock is that it relies on technology that changes very quickly. I've never had a phone more than three years. Will this beautiful (and expensive) time piece go to the bin in three years? Thanks!
Great, they almost managed to imitate the original. However 2 Features are still missing, which I find personally a bit disappointing as they would be easy to implement or to patch: 1. The minute pointer jumps, rather than slides, after the seconds pointer stops for 2 seconds. This is a small detail, but if you are already doing everything to imitate the original, why not do it properly? 2. Daylightsaving should be automatised. I hope they can patch these functionalities for the future. A bonus feature would be: 3: Synchronisation of SBB clocks among each other in the same country/region
Fairly nice bike. Belt is winner, 1000 watt is winner, spokes *BAD* no one need spokes on cargo bike especially for *10 thousand dollars!!!* Electric Vespa is only $7000
Honestly, I prefer the POL fitting. I feel they are more secure and for me have less leaks around the RV. I know the other ones are only supposed be done hand tight but sometimes to seal them tight, I've had to use channel locks, which I don't like to do.
