    Is there a legal limit for how wide rear bike reflectors should be?

    Th eone I have, has a flexible joint near where it fasten it to the bike, so the bike "part" may be at any angle, and you just twist the arm till the reflector is vertical and facing the traffic to the rear. I am a believer as I haven't had any "near misses" since I mounted it on my bike, though...

    Is there a legal limit for how wide rear bike reflectors should be?

    I don't know the Bristish name for them, but here is one, there are many on Ebay Germany. Maybe this will help you further:- https://www.ebay.de/itm/400759913850?epid=1443868405&hash=item5d4f26fd7a:g:0MAAAOSwaOZdFJbB Luckily I found one on ebay UK:-...

    Unmount hub motor DAPU M123

    Guessing only (do not forget that!), as I have never had the need to dismantle a hub motor (long may that remain so!), but guessing only, the manufacturer placed that gear in a freezer, also he warmed up the outside of the motor case, before placing the gear inside. Probably before the rim and...

    Brakes.

    Some people, some of them here, often make sweeping assumptions, apparently only supporting what they themselves OWN, against all other products that they do NOT OWN. Comments, that unless they are someone, working full time in a bike shop, and being the same person doing ALL the testing of...

    Pedelecs chain rings ?

    Mid Motor e-bikes need some beefed up parts in that area, as all the pedal and motor power torque is transmitted via the same chain and ascociated components. On a rear hub e-bike (or even front hub e-bike as well!), the torque transmitted through the chain and its components, will never be...

    Brakes.

    Good post. My experiences are similar to yours, and I find them to be true of several brake problems (other too!) I was involved with, over some years, for people that did not have the foggiest of ideas..... It constantly surprises me, even today, just how little some bike owners know about...

    Bike camera

    Thanks for the tip about the battery life being shorter. 2 Possible power fixes which may help:- 1) USB Battery bank connected to the unit via a USB cable, or if on your helmet, place it in a pocket in your clothing. They are reasonably priced on Amazon and ebay. 2) There are 5 volt USB power...

    Sweepback Handlebars

    I had the same problem on my previous bike and I simply bought the longest stem extender, and fitted it backwards (to the usualy convention), which both raised the middle of the handlebars by some 7-8cm (from memory only!), and brought it back towards me by some 6cm or so. It as a pretty cheap...

    Puncture proofing

    There have been several people here on Pedelec, over the last few years, who have experienced problems with some form of slime, blocking valves. Which is why I would never use it myself, as to me that will be a likely problem area for at least some. What I have used for some years now, with...

    Brakes.

    Really good point that some completely forget! IMHO some people simply are not mechanically minded enought to set up mechanical disk brakes properly I, and others, have found. And up to now (and I do not know any of the makes I have actually adjusted for people over some years, as I am simply...

    How to attach Acid panniers to Cube Kathmandu Hybrid Pro

    Some good and clear pictures may help others here to assist you better. All I can say is that I bought pamiers for my first e-bike, and just like you, the top fitted, but the bottom attachment was miles away from the point it had to be attached to. So I simply marked where it should go, removed...

    Folding bike or full size

    There are a few full size bikes that are also folding. Best of both worlds. I have been using one for almost 5 years, with no problems. It folds easily and to make it even smaller (I have never needed to do this), it has a quick release on the front wheel.....26" wheels, not a minibike as such...

    Ado a20 electric bike need advice

    Mostly correct, but its current or power you pull when going up hills or trying to accelerate, which can then drag/drop the voltage down on a defective or discharged battery, as a consequence/result. No current, or low current, battery voltage remains high(er) and does not cut out. I hope this...
