It isn't the blue gear I am sure, it would not just make a noise on left pedal stroke. I'm with @Bikes4two, that sounds like the motor moving in the BB shell to me.

Well, I've only done 500 miles on mine so far. It is a bit noisy in some scenarios and I have a spare blue gear to try, but have not had time to do it and won't before I go on holiday. If I can get 13000 miles I'll be totally chuffed. To be honest, I reckoned if I got 5000 miles I'd be happy...

For anybody who might think Dahon's don't sometimes suffer the same fate: https://treadly.net/2011/05/16/dahon-boardwalk-rust-in-pieces/ https://www.bikeforums.net/folding-bikes/1218557-dahon-catasthofic-frame-failure-dahon-roo.html But I've seen more posts about Tern bikes and Tern had the...

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but I believe @Woosh are happy to sell additional motors / batteries to people who are already running a woosh kit, providing it's a compatible combination. My understanding is they are not so keen to sell parts for a mix and match build including...

Ah, with you now on the jubilee clips.

@guerney, that picture reminds of Blackpool eliminations as a kid :)

Another though is chainring size. Not sure how many teeth are on the original chainring, but the tsdz2 only has 42t default and woosh warranties up to 44t. The tsdz2 on stock firmware stops assisting at ~75 rpm and starts tailing off before then. Assuming 11t at the back and 42t at the front...

On the subject of things shearing, the tsdz2 case has been known to shear as well. As far as I know it happens on motors that are not mounted at all points. In particular, I think missing off the bracket on the left hand side is an issue (and I can see on your bike the bracket is in place so...

Hi, I can see you have the frame with the modified extra support just in front the frame hinge. Many of these bikes had a recall and the frame was swapped due to the frame shearing just after the hinge. As I understand it, the failures tend to be without warning. I think there were still some...

How about these, lace up rubber ankle boot with wetsuit socks just in case some water does get in: Can get double duty as bedroom wear. I've been shopping today :)

Is that you? I have climbed in Cheddar Gorge but rarely climb now. It was never my favourite place to climb. I have done a fair bit of caving in Cheddar Gorge (no, not the show caves). Unfortunately most of the caves in Cheddar currently have no access agreement which is very disappointing :(...

Imagine how popular I would be cycling this up Cheddar Gorge on a sunny Sunday afternoon with my chums. Drivers sometimes toot their horns and wave at the cyclists on the Gorge, and are especially delighted when there is a group of them in a close knit formation creeping their way up the hill...

I can't think of much that fits the requirements, for such short distances, assuming not enormous hills, an appropriately geared 250w nominal motor and some human help would be sufficient. However, I can't find much. These folks have some interesting options although not sure if they do e...

The don't operate in my area which surprises me: London, Glasgow, Manchester, arse end of nowhere... Come to think of it the cell phone coverage is incredibly patchy around here as well, can't imagine a GPS tracker being a fat lot of use. It's all a bit Hot Fuzz around here, in fact hot fuzz...

Isn't this thread out of season! It's SUMMER! I like ponchos for walking, less so for cycling. They are like sails. Today I went out with one front pannier and the wind was catching on the steering. I can't imagine what a poncho would have been like. For low speed in heavy rain I think a poncho...

If it were me, and having read the linked post, I would be finding myself a good quality compass and start testing the various components on the bike - if necessary taking them off one by one to test them....particularly the chainrings. Hard to tell with the components on the bike if it's a...

I damaged my coccyx, not sure if bruised or broken. I suspect broken by the amount of time it took to heal. Didn't bother with gp, didn't seem much point. I think they rarely do anything unless the bone angle interferes with bodily functions. A year on and it is not so sore now. Do struggle on...

The battery will just sit loose (in its box) in trunk bag or loose in pannier. The trunk bag is an old Topeak mtx one that is very secure. The box will stop it getting damaged through knocks. The box will survive a fall for sure and it is properly waterproof (until I put a cable gland in)...

Well, I found my wife's 25 year old bike in the garage (she is never going to use it), nicked the rear wheel, swapped over the cassette an tyre and trued it up a bit and went for a spin. The brakes are MUCH better - kept locking up the wheel! Not tried in the wet yet though. I think if I swap...

Another possibility is the rims are just too polished now. My son had the bike for a long time and didn't change the rock hard pads. Even though I have cleaned the rims, they do feel very polished. EDIT: Actually, just had a closer look, I think the rear rim is too worn and maybe it needs...
