    Cube town bike - pannier track broken *again*

    Hopefully you can see the break from these pictures. I'm annoyed, as I took it in for its 6 week check and for it serviced after 6 months. It's kept indoors and cleaned very regularly. I can understand things wearing out but surely a pannier rack isn't one. I've done 1100 miles on it and it had...

    Cube town bike - pannier track broken *again*

    Steel rack could be a good idea. I would have thought that the one that is on was of reasonable quality but obviously not Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

    Cube town bike - pannier track broken *again*

    Hi everyone. I'm posting here to see what people think I should do with a problem I have been having. I bought a Cube town bike from Chain Reaction last January (2016) in order to commute to work, a journey of about 11.5 miles return. After a couple of months one of the bolts holding the...

    Is that such a bad idea? Get it sent to someone here (offering my address if you want it), then get the train up and back down again. Take advantage of the strong euro! Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The word intended is important in that sentence! My wife had lived here and worked in the nhs for over 20 years. She doesn't have a UK passport. Not for that matter do I. IF parliament votes for brexit is she guaranteed that she can remain here, in her job? We'll have to see what watertight...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    On the subject of brexit again, and the possibility of a 'hard border'. Reckon I will be able to save a few quid by buying an ebike down south and smuggling it across the border to northern Ireland? Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

    119kg, 5ft6in, 29.5in inner leg recommend a stepthrough bike please

    Hi David In sure you're busy with the show but wondering who is the Belfast dealer. Bit too late for me as I bought at the start of the year (Cube from Chain Reaction) but my wife would be interested in an ebike so would be great to have another supplier over here Sent from my E2303 using...

    your gainful employment ?

    I work in software development and support. A could of years ago I felt I was going to have a heart attack or some sort of breakdown. Told my boss I was leaving and going to teach Taekwondo full time. He asked me to go part time. Now I work 8am to 12.30 pm at that job. I teach after school...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Sounds like a nightmare. I'd say go and speak to CAB, or just email them. There's good advice here but you'll feel more confident with CAB behind you. You can mention that to 50 Cycles and they might take notice. I had problems getting a timely fix from custom reaction. Spoke to CAB, let Chain...

    Overtaking on the inside or the outside

    I'm lucky to have cycle lanes for a lot of my Belfast journey. I do see one Audi driver who seems to be afraid of oncoming traffic and insists on blocking the cycle lane in slow moving traffic. (I leave at the same time every day so do see familiar cars/cyclists each day) Where there isn't a...

    Bastille Day

    Personal insults don't really explain where this 'well known fact' came from. I'll say again - I don't believe that many terrorists are seeking to sneak into the UK by hiding among refugees. Surely most terrorist attacks have been carried out by nationals, who would have no need to travel...

    Bastille Day

    A well known fact? Is that a Daily Mail fact? How many of these terrorists using refugees as cover have been caught? None that I have heard of. I read an article which suggested that it was difficult for terrorists to hide among the people they have already terrorised, as there was quite an...
