Apparently, I must introduce myself before I post. I am 65 years old, ride a Honda Helix with training wheels, and the way things are evolving I may be back in diapers in 10-15 years.
I'm interested in bicycle engines, because they are engines, and they make wheels turn. I am as fascinated by mopeds and electric scoots as I am custom Harleys, and weed wackers. A month ago, my nephew bought a friction drive Subaru Robins for his bike. The clutch disintegrated and cracked the aluminum housing that surrounds it. Should be an easy fix if he could get the parts. We called authorized Subaru Robins dealers, and once the engine goes on a bicycle there is no warranty, and they can't get the parts, because the clutch is added by some dealer. I suspect that Staton, the place he bought it, hasn't any idea who makes the clutch and housing. If they would answer their phone!!!!
So, I am old and respectful without a potty mouth, but I will not lay still quietly. Passiveness is NOT in my DNA. I am happy that I have a Honda, rather than something from China. Although, when I was in the Navy, I did prefer the Chinese women compared to the Japanese women. Never paid much attention to the men.
I expected more from something named Subaru Robins.
