I currently use Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width that have covered 5278 commuting miles to work and back. I do a 12 to 14 mile off road route to work and 10 miles back on the road so roughly two thirds of the miles covered are off road. I have never...

Washed the bike today and inspecting the rear wheel found some damage that is not so easy to fix and will require either a new rim laced in or a ready built replacement wheel. This wheel has managed over 10,000 miles. This was the second rear wheel after I destroyed the first one after a tree...

I have not used them myself but others on the forum speak highly of them https://www.brightonebikes.co.uk/

I rode to work on Tuesday and although it was fun I felt like a quick change artist in a panto,first no waterproofs and sunshine, then within a mile into waterproofs, then out of waterproofs, then into waterproofs by which time it had stopped raining but I stayed in them for a few sunny miles...

That looks a bit unlucky as your oversize tyre might have protected the rim from taking the hit.

Sorry that is what I meant ie assist level zero, I do not turn the system off.

I tend to turn my Haibike sDuro hard tail Yamaha off on many downhill sections I ride both on and off road. I have just got into that habit after all it is very easy to change from assist to off and back again. I have been riding the Haibike to work and back since I got it in 2015 (Off road to...

In fairness once I had fixed this problem I stopped researching if there might be a dealer somewhere who was prepared to fix the problem but I did approach mine and another non local one at the time and was told the same thing by both that they could not. Now it is a year since then and at that...

The point is that whether you are in or out of warranty you will be given no support to fix the connector if it breaks.

I just checked and I am 11 days short of a year since my connectors broke. I have completed 1924 miles since mending my connectors with the battery and charger showing every sign of lasting a lot longer still. The battery and charger are obviously high quality items and it would have been...

The issue is that this connector is prone to failure and cost me almost nothing to change and was actually easy to fix by my friend with some electrical knowledge but I was lucky as we had no guidance and anyone who faces this failure really should be able to have it fixed by their dealer at a...

Sorry to hear that RaBirdman. I thought when I first had this problem that I was unlikely to be the only one. All the manufacturers need is a competent electrician available wherever this system is sold to replace the connector for clients when it breaks. That simple. Although I did not make...

Another lovely ride to work in shorts and a T shirt. Used 26% of my 400Wh battery for the 12 mile ride to work and 38% for the faster 10 mile ride home.

On Saturday I finished five days of commuting to work and back and 100 miles and am now 20 miles shy of my first 500 miles on my £100 Oxygen and the display shows that it is about to reach 1000 miles from new whenever that was, probably 2011 or there abouts. Although I have had to replace a...

Barrio Barranco, what a brilliant ride!

not this one.

Yes my throttle is progressive.

I was very glad of my throttle this morning! About 6 miles in to a 10 mile commute on a steep hill my chain broke. I am a shift worker and this happened at about 04:45 in the morning. I actually do carry a split link but did not fancy that by the side of the road by torch light. I bagged the...

The worry is the fake stuff being branded as genuine. Very much a case of "Caveat emptor".
