Where does the air come out? Do you take the lid off the master cylinder reservoir?

You don't say if you intend to electrify the bike. You don't say what the bike will be used for. But, if you wanted to spend £18 more the Carrera Vulcan comes with 120mm front forks (as opposed to 100mm) Halfords don't specify but the Vulcan looks to have 180mm rotors (as opposed to 160mm). The...

I think if I was looking for a folder, I would get the Wisper 806, not only would I get bigger 20" wheels but I'd get to keep a thousand pounds in my sky rocket and I wouldn't go on a waiting list (I assume). However, I would need to fit hydraulic brakes (or at least the front one). But I would...

Very nice gearbox mind, "completely unique" according to Martin. I don't think the horizontal drop-outs would bother me much, with a belt drive surely it's just set and forget? I don't know much about wheel removal with those drop-outs though. Fair comment about the motor cable, surely it...

I have one of those torque arms waiting to be fitted but I am away at the moment so it will have to wait. I can forsee similar problems, mostly because the axle is a bit short on the brake side. I can see a lot of jiggery-pokery with washers etc. The torque arm seller had 3mm thick 12x10 torque...

Just open eBay and search for ebike stickers, it's one of the first to come up, there's loads more.

Yes, that's one solution but I wouldn't mind making one of those kill switches spliced to a brake cut-off wire. Of course I don't have any brake cut-off wires or even brake cut-offs, but that can be done. It's really for negotiating this sort of thing, first time I tried it, I left the PAS in...

Damn, that would be handy. One's Kingmeter KM529 won't go lower than level 1

I am considering getting a sticker from eBay to slap on my motor, just to give the 'wardens' a bit less ammunition. Like this: I wonder how they would test the top speed on a PAS bike? My 250w bike does 16mph easy but if I'm pedaling robustly in top gear, I can do a bit more, like 19-20MPH...

This story is from Swindon back in March where the police seized an illegal ebike. Apart from the fact that the bike could do 30MPH, they seemed outraged that the bike had a throttle. "It also involved a short bike chase which ended with an illegally modified electric bike being seized. Police...

Thanks for having my back, bro. The one I ordered is 5mm thick and meant for DD motors. They do a 3mm one for 250w motors, but those don't have the adjustable arm angle, which I really fancy. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Perhaps they used the same picture for both sizes.

All this talk of axles spinning out is making me sweat. So I've ordered one of these:

Sorry for the thread derailment. Mate, those very are impressive numbers. I also rode a bike every day until I was 45 regardless of weather, I also wore wellies and cheap waterproofs when I was younger and commuting on low-powered bikes. But you make no concessions to safer bike gear for...

Yes well I couldn't resist having a bit of fun. I don't really want to get on the wrong side of saneagle, he has too much knowledge and advice for me to get blocked. I wore wellies with a pair of waterproof overtrousers for years on my commute on my CZ175 that I paid £20 for, this was back in...

What, like recommending wellington boots on a motorbike? :D

I also have a Woosh XF08c kit. I Also have an IS mount brake caliper. You did remove the black plastic spacer under the disk mount, right? The picture looks like you did. I have the anti-rotation washers on the outside and the plain washers on the inside. The plain washers supplied with the...

Don't forget, without a front derailleur you will need a 'Narrow Wide' chainring or your chain may fall off. Currently you have a guard on your chain ring to keep it in place. Alternatively you can fit one of these:
