Advanced users don't necessarily NEED expensive electronics, as they know how things work. (electronics engineer here) Granted the nicer chargers have a nicer user experience with less oversight, but accomplish the same thing in the end.

I have exactly the same cameras. The F2s are bullet proof monsters, but those OMs are so sweet to carry around and are very well made.

I've never had an F2, so please educate me on how it is more fully featured than an OM2N? More rugged? I can see that. More fully-featured, I dunno about that. The OM1N is more comparable, feature-wise, to a Nikon FM. All the Nikons starting with FM certainly had more rugged flash hot shoes. The metal shutters were probably more durable too.

@@Smaug1 Have a look at the TechHeritage review of the F2 "The New King".

The light meter on mine is giving up the ghost and there's a bit of foam in the viewfinder now, but I'm keeping anyway! I have an OM adapter and I use the Zuiko lenses on my modern Nikon Z5; they STILL look good, although not as contrasty as modern Nikkors.

They're destructive. I had one chew through the bottom of a bird feeder last year. Only chipmunks are worse around here.

@@Smaug1 Buy a stronger bird feeder !

Boderry is a Chinese copycat brand. If you're OK with that, go for it. To me, it's not like buying a Rolex homage, because Rolex has priced themselves out of most folks' reach. This watch, at under $300 is attainable by a lot of people and is the original. Also, don't forget to compare the key specs: This one has a 10 year battery life, recessed sapphire crystal and Ti case with integral strap bars. This could be part of a 3 watch collection. (with the others being a dress watch and a digital workout watch)

Yep, I had a bunch of them.

It's just an analog counter.

Yes, or it did when I got mine. (that was 10 years ago or so...)

You have a M-1 model?

-The bottle cage bosses are on the downtube. (what you refer to as battery post) -Stock weight of the bike was 65 lbs. -Battery is easy to remove and insert, but it does require turning the handlebar out of the way and holding it, since it comes out the front/bottom instead of back/top. -An extra battery of the same type would double the range, but there's no good way to mount it; you'd be carrying it in some kind of bag. That would get your 80-105 mile range. Alternately, if you used the battery very sparingly and only for hill climbing and into stiff headwinds, you could stretch it to 80 on the one battery. The bike rolls smoothly enough to comfortably maintain 12-13 mph without any power on flat ground.

A CO2 (carbon dioxide) cylinder lasts about 50 shots.

Glad I could help!

I had the tires changed. The technician said the guy who changed the last rear tire put a bushing in the wrong place, which caused the rubbing. It's fixed now, and getting > 90 mpg around town, so it's fixed now. Thanks for the info.

@Jack_Warner well no... fast shutter speeds are just there when you have lots of light, fast film, or fast lenses. There's no "trouble" with that. I would rather 4000th shutter be there than not. And as far as Olympus vs Nikon... Zuiko made exceptional lenses. But there's plenty of videos on Nikkor, Zuiko, Zeiss, Takumar, Minolta, Ricoh, Voigtlander, shootouts, and Zuiko isn't the clear winner. Nikkor has made some razor sharp lenses and some just ok lenses. (you're preaching to the choir, Olympus is one of 3 35mm cameras I whittled my collection down to)

I guess it depends on which Nikkors. Pre-AI lens formulas & coatings cannot compare. AI and later Nikkors are usually excellent. The Zuikos though are all excellent, the only factor being the early ones weren't multi-coated and really needed the hoods for best contrast.

Contax G cameras are notorious for electronic problems making them useless. No one seems to work on them any more.

@@Smaug1 I wouldn't say "notorious".. they can't be repaired these days, that doesn't mean they're more prone to breaking than stuff that can be repaired. You just see more on the repair list... cause they can't be repaired. I have two G1 cameras they work perfect. I mean, it's like any vintage electronic shit. There's casio watches from the 80's still ticking. And electronic stuff from the 70's still working. Don't get it wet. Don't drop it. It's circuitry. Should be fine if you take care of it.

Aventon says it is a combination torque/cadence sensor. If one applies torque but the chainring isn't turning, it won't apply power. (as we would have from a dead stop)

Yes, the main review was in a separate video; this one was an UPDATE on that review, just adding that it continues to serve well and showing which accessories I added to make it better.

Go with a light, high quality scope instead of a big, heavy, super-powerful one. Then, you can use a simple rigid mount. Great rifle. I bet you will get many pest animals with it. (or targets!)

Seat all the way down; feet touching the ground, but not flat. ;-)

Yes. Being a lower powered air rifle, it means the targets are usually small, so they can make use of a more powerful scope. On the other hand, it doesn't necessarily need a large objective lens...

Cookie Crisp is a gateway drug

LOL

I've since found out I prefer lower impedance headphones that don't even need an amp, and run them right from my iPhone with Apple's adapter. This stuff has been gathering dust for months now. :-(

I do have one, but it is just one of those that hang on with straps and hooks. This bike can be carried that way, but it's not ideal, since the bike is quite tail-heavy. It doesn't want to balance and the rack is always trying to twist. I considered adding a trailer hitch (you'll need a 2" square) and a quality rack that would support the bike under the tires, but 1) that was a lot of money and 2) the hitch would drag on my steep driveway. In the end, this bike doesn't get brought along with me if I can't ride it where I'm going. I have a couple of folders for that, which I can just fold up and put in my SUV. (Lectric XP Lite and Ride1Up Portola)

Yes, the original round grips had almost no cushion, but were very grippy. That, combined with the pretty aggressive forward lean put my hands to sleep. In one of the videos, I put a link to the grips in the video description. The bar-end mirror (MirrCycle) fits the handlebar. Depending on the grip you have, it'll have a removable plug or you just cut the end off and the mirror's hardware clamps on the INSIDE of the bar itself; nothing to do with the grip except that the bar end has to be open. The included instructions are very clear and they even include a little allen wrench. I think I talked about the mirrors a bit more in some of the other videos.

Yes, the stock straps on a lot of Casio watches do not last much longer than the warranty period. G-Shock are better, but the watches are so clunky!
