Managing Bicycle Upgrades; The Key Is To Upgrade The GOOD Bikes To Upgrade The Backup Bikes



When you upgrade a supported AKS cluster, Kubernetes minor versions can't be skipped. All upgrades must be performed sequentially by major version number. For example, upgrades between 1.14.x -> 1.15.x or 1.15.x -> 1.16.x are allowed, however 1.14.x -> 1.16.x is not allowed.


If no upgrades are available, create a new cluster with a supported version of Kubernetes and migrate your workloads from the existing cluster to the new cluster. It's not supported to upgrade a cluster to a newer Kubernetes version when az aks get-upgrades shows that no upgrades are available.

By default, AKS configures upgrades to surge with one extra node. A default value of one for the max surge settings will enable AKS to minimize workload disruption by creating an extra node before the cordon/drain of existing applications to replace an older versioned node. The max surge value may be customized per node pool to enable a trade-off between upgrade speed and upgrade disruption. By increasing the max surge value, the upgrade process completes faster, but setting a large value for max surge may cause disruptions during the upgrade process.


The max surge setting on a node pool is persistent. Subsequent Kubernetes upgrades or node version upgrades will use this setting. You may change the max surge value for your node pools at any time. For production node pools, we recommend a max-surge setting of 33%.


While most new bikes for road cycling enthusiasts come with disc brakes wheels these days and wheel makers have shifted their product development and production to support them, many of us still ride great rim brake road bikes and may need to replace or want to upgrade them.


Garmin rally pedals (fat boys) with the existing 175mm cranks and its pedal strike galore (this is also attributed to lack of skill). But as I am getting better at ratcheting its less common. Also hence my interest to upgrade to 120mm forks and 170mm cranks. The bike has a 65mm bb drop which I think is considerably lower than other bikes on the market.


Will it happen for those of us who want to upgrade the stock wheels that came with our new road disc bikes but are not able or willing to spend on carbon wheels? I believe it should but greater demand from cyclists for carbon wheels has stalled it for now.


When? As the number of new road disc bikes grows, the number of riders looking for purpose-built disc brake wheelset upgrades at alloy wheelset prices will grow with it. At that point, the volume of demand for alloy road disc wheels, if not the margins, will justify it. At the same time, the demand for alloy rim brake wheels will be going down as fewer new enthusiast level rim brake bikes are sold, and wheel makers will be anxious to replace the lost aftermarket sales on the rim brake side with more disc brake wheels. I have no inside information, but my guess is that by 2022 or 2023, there will be a lot more innovation in this alloy upgrade road disc category.


The good news is that most of the better rim brake alloy wheels are now made in disc brake versions, with brands like Campagnolo and Fulcrum slowly joining in at the alloy upgrade level and Bontrager and Mavic offering more alloy road disc wheels than in past years.


Before the Zipp 30 Course was introduced, I picked the HED Ardennes Disc as the best performer amongst road disc wheelset upgrades. It weighs much the same as its rim brake sibling with which it shares the same rim design, rides as comfortably as its rim width would suggest (20.6mm inner, 25mm outer), and handles extremely well.


These days, we're all trying to do more with less, but GE can help. Our upgrades and modernizations can help you get more from your existing assets. Discover the possibilities with our interactive upgrades selector.


The aesthetics upgrade is apparent: Rad swapped an exterior battery pack for a semi-integrated, frame-mounted battery. The modern paint job on a classic dutch-styled bike is a marriage that works quite well too. Rad also employed the use of a dual display set-up we rarely see which breaks up the information in a good way.


Have a bike that you think would be a good contender for our best electric bikes of 2023 page? Let us know in the comment section below. At the very least, we always want to know what our readers are riding.


Every bike listed uses heavy, dull and buzzy straight gauge aluminum. That is even in the few that have better hydroformed tubes! Why, we have had more responsive, less buzzy, butted and hydroformed tubing on almost all traditional bikes since the turn of the century. Weight kills range. It makes a good bike hard for a smaller person to handle.


Retail mid-drive e-bikes usually come with upgraded bicycle chains for just that reason, since snapped chains is probably the #1 maintenance issue on mid-drive e-bikes. And because both the motor and pedals need the chain to drive the wheel, riding a mid-motor e-bike with a snapped chain is a strictly downhill affair.


In terms of cross-manufacturer compatibility, SRAM and Shimano cassettes tend to be interchangeable as long as they have the same number of sprockets, and Shimano freehub bodies can be mixed and matched between several different ranges and generations, making Shimano hubs a good bet. As a rule of thumb, most manufacturers of entry-level parts produce Shimano-compatible products to match what most entry-level bikes leave the factory with.


New for 2021, the EnergyPak Smart holds 625Wh of battery capacity, and with the super-slim and lightweight design, makes the E-bike nearly indistinguishable from a nonelectric bicycle. Liv E-bikes are compatible for EnergyPak Smart upgrades from 400 to 500Wh, and from 500 to 625Wh.

Enduro bikes are limited to trail riding in designated riding areas. However, by adding lighting upgrades, a horn and rear view mirror you could get them legally licensed for the street in some regions. Converting Enduros into Dual Sports became a popular way to increase riding opportunities with many off-road areas closing down due to wildlife conservation legislation.


With no windscreen and a flat seat, the bikes allow a range of body positions required for high-intensity off-road riding. Acceleration is usually good up to 65 mph. The bikes are fun and easy to maneuver.


If you have dynamo-powered bicycle lights, you already own anelectric-powered bicycle! Consider: as you pump your legs up and downon the pedals, you make the wheels rotate. A small dynamo(generator) mounted onthe rear wheel produces a tiny current ofelectricity that keeps yourback safety lamp lit in the dark. Now suppose you could run thisprocess backward. What if you removed the lamp and replaced it with alarge battery. The battery would kick outa steady electric current,driving the dynamo in reverse so that it spun around like an electric motor. As the dynamo/motor turned, it would rotate the tire and makethe bike go along without any help from your pedaling. Hey presto: an electricbike! It may sound a bit far-fetched, but this is more or less exactlyhow electric bikes work.


Some electric bikes claim to use a neat trick calledregenerative braking. Ifyou start pedaling the bicycle or going downhill, the spinning wheelsturn the electric motor in the hub in reverse and start charging up thebatteries. In practice, regenerative braking is nowhere near as usefulon an electric bicycle as it is on an electric train or car.An electric bike has much less mass and velocity than either a train or car, so it never gains (or loses) anything like as much kinetic energy when it starts and stops.You'd have to go down an awful lot of hills to charge upthe batteries completely and that's usually not practical. And what'sthe point in pedaling the wheels simply to charge the battery? Youmight as well have bought an ordinary bicycle to start with! 2ff7e9595c
