I am not the guy who enjoys joy-riding or even test-riding other people's bikes. I am cautious, and if something doesn't feel quite right, I slow down and bring...

    The Varg SM caster offset and trail is awesome (it must be!)

    Most SM bikes and almost all SM conversions ignore the poor caster trail outcome that happens after a 17" front wheel is installed on a front end that was originally designed for a 21" wheel. Not Stark! Cudos!

    e-Foils

    This thing is a blast! I have two left feet, I never surfed, never skateboarded, and I tried snowboarding only once, but even then, it took me just an hour to stand up on this thing and then another hour to learn to hover over the water. I highly recommend! It is similar to riding a...

    Regen and the front end ride and traction

    Yesterday, I tried reducing my regen from the usual 40% down to 20% and down to 0%. Pros: - The front end ride quality improved a lot! - The flow through some turns improved. Cons: - In many turns, the front end traction and my confidence reduced. - I had to drag the LHRB to compensate...
