I update previously published posts from time to time. I’ll use this page to document when and where those updates occur.
- 2023 Sep 12 – Updated How Do I Bed My Brakes? to include the two new bottom sections on a quick mini-bed on the fly, and discuss when you might want to do a routine re-bedding.
- 2023 Sep 6 – Updated I Hate Torque Sensing to do a better job than I did in 2019 to explain some of the quality cadence-based alternatives out in the world versus the junky kind that is so often pointed to as if that is all there is.
- 2023 Sep 3 – Added a royalty free header image to the Table of Contents, and performed some under-the-hood housekeeping to that page’s html.
- 2023 Sep 2 – Added a royalty-free header image to this page to spiff it up.
- 2023 Aug 17 – Updated most pages on the site to replace a block style used for callouts… but discovered it royally screws up page display on mobile browsers. Sorry about that!

- 2023 Jun 11 – added notes in two places on Larry vs Harry Bullitt – Project Odds & Ends to note there was no need to modify the rack mount on the 2023 version of the LvH dropouts, and that the DT Swiss thru axle that fit perfectly on the 2021 Bullitt’s dropouts needed a 3mm spacer on the 2023 dropouts.
- 2023 Jun 6 – Added a note in I Hate Ebike Torque-Sensing (maybe you should too) to clarify what equipment my experience with cadence sensing covers, and modified the text just a little to clarify that my mention of ghost pedaling was not meant to imply the technique was used deliberately to any meaningful extent.
- 2023 May 20 – Updated all of the settings screens from the Luna Black Box to the more commonly recognized Bafang Config Tool in Larry vs Harry Bullitt – Rear (BBSHD) Motor and Drivetrain. Changed the settings just a bit so Slow Start is ‘3’ and not ‘2’, since 3 is the 100% safe choice for the controller.
- 2023 May 19 – Updated all of the settings screens from the Luna Black Box to the more commonly recognized Bafang Config Tool in BBSHD Performance Settings (slightly refined). Revised the text to conform with the changes to the original settings article I just updated. Removed the Throttle section at the bottom since a 2% Start Current was already introduced in the revised parent article.
- 2023 May 19 – Updated all of the settings screens from the Luna Black Box to the more commonly recognized Bafang Config Tool in BBSHD Programming For The Pedaling Cyclist. Also changed some of the settings to reflect my current thinking on a couple of items. Revised the updates to cover the changes.

- 2022 Jun 18 – The home page for the blog is now a short introductory paragraph with excerpts of the latest posts shown on the home page. Should load much more quickly than the old, traditional blog style and show off more content at first glance without scrolling.
- 2022 Jun 17 – Updated the intro to How To Build An Ebike From Scratch as it referred to the series publication in the future tense. Since its now all written up, some changes needed to be made.
- 2022 Jun 16 – Pared away about 200 words in How To Build An Ebike From Scratch – Tools List. That post was written first before all of the assembly posts in the series. Things I wrote about the use of some tools were put into those assembly-day posts, work better there and do not need to be repeated.
- 2022 Jun 12 – Updated this page 😀
