Hey Everyone!

In this episode of Gabe’s Bike Shop, editor Natascha Grief and I help Bicycling member Jennifer Wilkerson start her search for an e-bike that fits, and, sparked by member Ken Falch, who logged 4,000 miles on a recumbent, senior art director Colin McSherry drops in to talk about quality versus quantity when it comes to how cyclists think about mileage.

Tons of members were reading our article on how to fix a creaking bottom bracket, so we run through the basics, including what tools you need and how to get started. I also have something to say about how many different bottom bracket standards there are, and why that’s a bad thing!

As always thanks for spending some time with me in the shop, and, let me know what else you want to know about gear, fitness, nutrition, riding skills, finding rides, and more: [email protected]
