I took this today at this location...

@nigelbb -- I see you have not replied to my post https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/dont-forget-your-helmet.41324/post-619113 This was in response to your request for links and evidence. They are provided in the post in the above link. Are you ready now to accept the proposition that...

Head injuries are a tiny proportion of injuries to cyclists. Crushing, grazing and broken limbs are the vast majority of injury types. The benefits of compulsory headgear wearing have been proved over and over again to be minimal compared with the reduction of fitness levels of the general...

The figures do not support your argument. Just because you believe something does not make it true.

Chatting to Andy earlier, he says it could well be the rear wheel hub as I told him I think the noise seems to be coming from behind me. I can also feel it through my backside on the seat post. When the rain finally stops here in sunny Bournemouth/Poole I'll pull the wheel off and...

Neal It's just comical to me watching it-the 17-year-old in my head watches the silly old fart in a 70 year-old body huffing and puffing up a hill trying in vain to get started-maybe I just have a warped sense of humour!

Hope you had a good belly laugh at my expense.....

@Nigebb You are entitled to your opinion, but we already live in a nanny state in so many ways. If making helmets compulsory came to pass, then many thousands like myself would give up cycling for good. The imposition of draconian laws for the sake of a statistically very few head injury...

OK blue gear test a dismal failure as you will see in the posted videos: https://mega.nz/folder/1wp3WahQ#pQaxqmgpBaapvQyJQw7cgw I hope you have plenty of time...sit down with a cool beer and have a good laugh at my expense..... Cheers Tony.

OK so I really put some pressure on it with my large allen key set. 8mm and paired with a 1/2" (not1/3" as I previously said) socket and extension bar see piccies. Here is the 10 link chain measurement... Unfortunately still clunking..... The last test you requested is the steep hill one...

I have a set of really heavy duty allen keys that are operated by a 1/3 inch socket. I can get plenty of wellie on that especially with an extension tommy bar. My only concern is I could snap off the bolt with it.....

Hey, it's hard enough for this old fart to stay upright, let alone cycle one-handed filming with my 'phone and changing gears and pedalling all at the same time. A circus performer I ain't......

I have taken a couple more videos https://mega.nz/file/slwU1BrQ#sYLEgc8_uVbBC_xVmQc0mW4XQY2rLTIrXqBaapHUhHM and https://mega.nz/file/UthmEBRL#fy1sGAkDWrgqF8Ozl7Y22Dpb5zPyW6lX-QNG8V2CUtE Sorry about the wind noise, but it gives you and idea of the loudness of the clunk. I tried this: To test...

That's a good point. We can exclude the cassette but still can't eliminate the freehub body where the pawls are. Can you elaborate on this - please excuse my ignorance. To what do you refer to as "pawls". What is their function and where situated? The bike was fitted with new brakes...

I just had another inspection and test ride minus battery. I found it still can occur when freewheeling. It makes no difference which gear I'm in. The thing is, it is so intermittent, sometimes it does it all the time then will stop for a few hundred yards. When it happens I can feel the...

OK Just got this; it's dark now, I'll check in the AM and get back to you. It was a new cassette less than 600 miles ago.

Andy-Thanks for reply, the clunk only occurs with pedal or throttle pressure. With the battery removed it still does it when I pedal. Here is the link: https://mega.nz/file/dpRjwCJK#ST_MjsbeuoEqZgvNC-SgyXc0rAiufaFOiLAlxV156oY Cheers Tony

Yep, monkeys with shoes.

Frodo- I had thought about it, and I think my warranty has probably run out by now. I'll ask Andy and see what he says.

Not for me---I hit a lampost at 15mph when a cat jumped out in an alleyway and even at 15mph I ended up in hospital! Anything over 20mph and I get very nervous now. My flesh and blood are no match for cast iron.
