I found some complaints about the Xtech brakes failing. Seems sometimes they need the oil to be replaced. This youtube shows how to go about it. If this is a thread diversion just say and I will delete it.

Ordered a set of those Xtech cable operated hydraulic caliper brakes yesterday. I had been trying to resurrect my old AliExpress account, on and off for a fortnight. The card loaded on it had expired in the winter and when I repeatedly tried to update it, it would not accept a new card. The help...

Nothing there deals with what I wrote about.

I edited that post. Maybe go and take another look...

Yeah and everyone is going to be really pleased to have the grid power cycling their VERY expensive battery, and shortening its useful life as a car battery, aren't they, just so Miliband can grin his stupid head off and claim he has abolished carbon emissions from the power grid. But the idea...

That's very true. I have mates the same age as me who can't (more like won't ) walk a hundred yards. Guys I went to school with.

It's good that the supplier serviced it out of guarantee. What did he charge you, if that isn't a rude question? Hope it has been solved.

I am a fan of renewable energy. If it is working - it's great. Free fuel... Who doesn't want that? But here is the problem: This morning, 0939, 25th September, UK electricity demand is for 27.8 Gigawatts. Wind is only producing 1.36 Gigawatts. Solar is only producing 0.83 Gigawatts. On the...

Well - its a nicely made video about a moped. The presenter said that you can easily de-restrict it - so we can assume some of them will end up in the hands of 14 year old children whose first act will be edit the settings and ride them at moped speeds. My feeling is that a lot of them will be...

Saneagle has written many times about the power definition. I think most motors exceed 250 watts at times. That isn't a problem. The definition of what is allowed is that motors not be capable of more than 250 watts continuous output. This is rated by the motor manufacturer. I suppose the...

It has been my long experience on bicycles and motorcycles that once the front wheel starts sliding, I end up falling off. I try hard never to lose that front wheel grip. If the back wheel slides, I can adjust the front wheel to steer myself out of the issue. If I can't steer, I am going to end...

Great photo that....

Yes all good advice, but another thing is NOT to use the front brake harshly on loose surfaces. This is true of motorbikes as well - maybe more so. On slippery mud, or loose gravel, I take care to go slowly, but to also avoid the front brake. Once the front wheel loses grip and starts to slide...

Best thing is to get back on and ride your bike, unless you really have some issue which tells you this isn't for you. The fact that you want to get back on, suggests you should do. Never do stuff on your bike that common sense suggests you shouldn't, and dont keep riding until you are so...

That reminds me of the day last year when i was backing my straddled Royal Enfield 350 (198 kilos) out of a garage and my foot slipped on loose gravel and the beggar fell on me. My main concern was for the state of the bike, becausr it was brand new. . Fortunately, when i squirmed out from under...

Newcastle started blocking roads in a part of the city called Jesmond and they created absolute chaos diverting traffic onto a couple of arterial roads which obviously enough got much more congested. They also blocked some narrow bridges over a couple of streams. These bridges had been used as...

It must be part of the New World Order conspiracy then. It was fine when I last looked. As well as presenting an entirely new system of physics, the site also had really useful tips on home made cures for cancer under the heading, 'The Trick Your Oncologist Hates For You To know About'. Those...

This might be mad.... but is it possible that there is too much play in the bottom bracket bearing and the wobble induced by pressing hard on alternate pedals is causing the magnet disk to move away and then return to the required distance from the sensor for the signal to work? See if there is...

Not the same kind of lock, but likely the same problem.
