With standard disks, one does need to regularly check that the pad that does not move when braking, is always adjusted to be as close to the (unwarped) disk as possible. The only change that I made some years ago (which many here were rudely critical of, but did not try it out for a long...

Excellent Photos and very clear, many thanks. I am reminded of the saying that a "picture is worth a 1000 words!" The fork looks tiny to me personally, and I am not surprised that you are having problems. But I am also interested in opinions of other here too. My only thought, but not easy to...

How about a few photos of the forks and any damage to them caused by the wheel dropping out. Sizes too and lengths. regards Andy PS. Close and sharp, from several useful angles....

Best wishes for a complete recovery, in as short a time as possible. I have had a few broken bones over the years one way and another, but mostly I heal well.....though my right hand is slightly misshappen, due to knocking out some a***hole, who wanted to "get up my nose", about 50 years ago...

Asumming I understood you correctly, you want to place a battery in a mainly sealed box. Please don't do it as the gassing and increase in pressure, might make a nice bomb..... Its better to allow the battery to gas, and to keep it cool, like immersing it in water if possibly. After some hours...

You might even be talking about Bosch products in the same breath.......and probably some others too.... Appalling (is the only printable word that I can think of), for a motor that costs almost the same as my bike did new, including import and transport costs, all extras except a GPS Tracker...

I like your thinking, and do consider thicker tyres if the bumping in any way annoys you. Front and rear suspension are a must in my book with my back. Best wishes and let us all know how you get on. Andy

I forgot to mention that you can set up a GPS tracker to do many things. Like if vibrated, it sends a text to your mobile phone immediately! Even if you are at the back of Tescos and you forgot to set it, you can still set it without moving an inch! regards Andy

Have you used GPS Trackers? I have, though I do not claim to be an expert, they are very easy to use. There are even trackers made for bikes that are hidden in the rear light, which is a good place as the plastic only reduces the signal levels slightly i believe. You really only need to find a...

Thats a hell of a lot of experience, you are possibly one of the very few here that can honestly say that. Thanks for your post. Andy

I like your post, it smacks of truth, accuracy, knowledge and honesty. regards Andy

Thats the beauty of the Stark, it comes "mostly" assembled, and you need to supply the finishing touches. Naturally, when I assembled mine, I checked everything else as well, which I am pretty sure that most people ordering such a bike would also do, but I would not take it to an LBS for...

I have been most happy with the 2017 Stark City Bike, the initial offering from Stark, since 2017. The basic bike costed $399, and with all the extras, except GPS, including a second batter, transport and import fees, it cost around 930 UK pounds, here in Germany. It took me a week or so to...

Good answer, many thanks. I now understand your thoughts far better with this extra/full information. I still like the placing, but now, not the method, like you! The system is not well thought out apparently. Regards Andy

I don't like them, if you have picked up say shopping, the bike will not stand properly. I like a proper stand that leaves the rear wheel above the pavement. I have no idea what they are called in English, sorry. Regards Andy

May I ask why you think that? My first impression is positive.... regards Andy

Good point! Andy

Just a small point, leisure batteries are really not for bikes anymore (were maybe used 20 years or so ago), far too heavy for the energy they store. Until something better comes along, we are all stuck with Li-ion chemistries. But there are some interestiing developements in store over the...

HARSH! No swear words, no picking on anyone in particular, just general terms.....If you feel picked on, you read that into it all on your own. You should read some of the replies I get from people who could not find their pwn backside if given an hour or so to do it! Some Pedelecers are more of...

What you said was fully correct, but some of the terms you used may not be fully understood by other members here. For example, floating a (for example only a 12v nominal battery), sets a max voltage, so that the battery only charges up to a specified voltage level, usually well under what some...
