You are creating a galvanic cell so if it gets wet you will definitely get corrosion. Luckily the aluminum parts are the ones that are more anodic and corrode so you wouldn't be ruining the frame.

If the lubricant isn't conductive it would at least help.

Welp it seems I messed up posting and the clean pic didn't get posted. Editing the main post didn't work so here it is in the comments

 

Was too lazy to actually do the dishes last night, but that's ok since I had all day to get the kitchen cleaned up

Just so there is some variety I'll nominate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Something short and light to work out the kinks for the thread format.

All these other suggestions sound good so far though. Whatever works I'll probably be adding them to my backlog.

I am interested if only to help pick out which audiobook I listen to next on my commute.

I think we would need to do some kind of poll for the pace people would want. A chapter a week, a book a month, or something in between?

A few hundred might be underselling it a bit. In the brief time I've been researching this I was mostly looking at the lectric brand bikes, which start around $800 USD.

I've seen some for several thousands but wasn't really considering those since this won't be a daily driver and I'm already paranoid about getting the cheaper one stolen.

 

I'm trying to use my car less and bike to places where I can. I've thought about getting an e-bike to extend the range of places I can bike to, but one things that's holding me back is what do I do with it while at the store? If it were just my crappy normal bike I wouldn't really worry too much about someone stealing it, but if I'm gonna spend a few hundred on an e-bike I am nervous about leaving it unattended.

What are your thoughts?
