What tires am I supposed to buy for my cargo e-bike again?
Got some Schwalbe Big Bens right now (26" 2.15 front and 20" 2.15 rear) but converting it to an ebike and thinking it may be a good time for new shoes.
I had Big Bens in the exact same sizes on my converted ebike, just on different ends. They worked fine atmo for the loads I was messing with.
They have some cargo specific tires that are available in those same sizes, no clue on how they ride. They’re quite a bit heavier than the Big Bens.

OMG Bikes At Work! I love that they’re still out there 20+ years ago! That can’t be easy to do for a small MUSA cycling business.
A buddy used to do recycling service using their trailers, when I was at Iowa State University. I never made the connection that the trailers were made right there in Ames.
The pick ups are awesome. Definitely heavy and less cromulent than the Big Ben but flatting them is a real challenge.
Gonna find out how the Pick-Ups ride myself. The weirdo Boost size seemed to disappear from most every site earlier this year. I managed to find them listed on the Schwalbe North American site yesterday and consumed them while I could. On a dollar/mass ratio they’re a pretty good deal for bike tires.
my roommate is moving out and taking a lot of “our” (her) furniture so I’m borrowing this benno from work to grab replacements. So cool. Already looking for an old yuba or an xtracycle.

really liking this benno, especially compared to the front loaders i’ve ridden (urban arrow, r+m). It rides like a normal bike (a normal bike with a huge motor). Except it can also haul free crappy mcm. I always thought longtails were awesome for kids and meh for other hauling but this is totally capable.

Longtails are great for everything!
When Ash and I first got together, before they got their own bike, we rode all over the city on my old xtra! It was great!
Here it is with an entire Surly Pugsley in a box!

My second favorite kind of petty and nitpicky. I approve.
Only bad kerning gets me more annoyed.
