    Also, 42 teeth works for me, on the flat I can get the bike up to about 20MPH in top gear. But I run out of gears if I try pedalling downhill.

    Good catch! I converted mine to 1*8. I assume your bike has a square taper bottom bracket? I dumped the front derailleur and left shifter/brake lever (whatever it's called) and fitted a normal left brake lever. You need a crank puller, I recommend Park Tool CCP-22 You should watch some...

    Servicing? Keep the tyres pumped up and put some oil on the chain occasionally, job done. Do you have a car? Seriously mate go and have a chat with Woosh in Southend. I know that shop near you that flogs air rifles and skateboards makes a lot of sense, but you could get a near identical bike...

    Charging a battery on the bike and on a vehicle - 12V charger?

    So you haven't actually bought the bike yet? Well then, simple answer is get a bike that DOES have a removeable battery.

    Shortening Your Shimano Hydraulic Brake Hoses

    So, I thought I'd pass on my experiences on shortening my brake hose. After the successful conversion of my bike two years ago, I decided last summer to upgrade the front brake to the ever popular budget Shimano MT200 hydraulic disk brake. I was very impressed with that, so this summer I...

    Nice bike. Those locks look like a bit of a weight. I hope you carry them on the bike and not in a backpack or something.

    Nice find. That is a very tidy, very well equipped bike and it's a large! but he wants over £700 with shipping etc. I think I'll just keep an eye out on the usual sources for a decent used frame or decent complete bike without hundreds of pounds of expensive parts. There's no real rush, but...

    Carrera Vengeance Conversion

    Well done mate. You see how you have that cable running down the side of your downtube held on with black tape? I found a way to make things a bit tidier. I bought some of these desk cable clips from eBay, but I ditched the thick white sticky pads and bought some 3M, thin, transparent...

    I should have added that I also enjoy suspension forks and a suspension seatpost. I give a lot of thought to comfort and one of the biggest things that I've found that aids comfort is trekking/sweep back handlebars and an uncut steerer tube. No good for mountain biking but fine for...
