The Merkur Club of America Forums

I looked at some turbo levo mountain bikes, which are pretty low key. Just too expensive. Then I looked at some "refurbished" versions with new batteries or whatever. Still a lot of cash for a bicycle. Even if it gives me lance armstrong legs. So I have been human powered only. Someday I w...

It's not going to make the pedal stick, but if the tps (potentiometer) has a bad spot it may seem like it is sticking. Then you blip the throttle and you are no longer in that dead spot. Isn't that why you switched out the TB? Maybe you only swapped the TB but used the same tps? Should be able to te...

Sure sounds like a tps issue. Maybe the spare was also bad?

Ya those are in that project farm video as well. I thought about using some old phone just for it, but they don't stay charged real good or the plug is worn out and hard to charge in the first place. Don't like the idea of using my regular everyday phone for stuff that will get it dirty, so liked th...

What if they try to erase the Merkur? All records of the cars destroyed. When you search for XR4Ti (behind the great firewall) you just get a message zero results returned. I wouldn't want to live in a country like that.

Ya you are probably right.

I like articles from the Guardian.

I drilled the center hole on my new mounts a little deeper. Then used a ground down screwdriver (punch) to measure the depth marking it with a piece of tape. After I did this I let it sit upside down overnight to make sure nothing oozed out. On another set (solid 3.8 Thunderbird) I drilled the top c...

John, did you ever fit the Scorpio wheel?
Wouldn't it be possible to fit the whole Scorp column, thereby gaining the adjustability?

Put it underwater. Seems like great idea.

Or instead of Hog a Surron. Way faster than gas powered mini bike.
