    Help! Hi,from manchester, i have a problem with my cyclamatic e bike Rear wheel

    Whatever you do to the spokes has no effect on the positioning of the hub. The hub is held in place between the frame drop-outs by the axle nuts. The spokes only effect the positioning of the rim with the tyre on it. If the noise came from the hub, the solution won't come from doing something...

    Lost keys

    Jiggler keys will open it, then you can remove the lock, disassemble it and emove the tumblers so that you can use any key. You can get jiggler keys from Ebay.

    Long range hilly terrain road/path bike.

    Wisper H7 or H9. Both are 44v instead of the more common 36v, so 20% more power than most. NCM Moscow or Venice Plus. Both are 48v, so 30% more power than most. Woosh Gran Camino (if they have one) is 36v, but has 20 amp controller instead of the more common 15A, so 30% more power than most...

    Help! Hi,from manchester, i have a problem with my cyclamatic e bike Rear wheel

    When the motor makes that weird rasping noise, it's because something is wrong with its connection to the controller. First check that you didn't damage the cable where it comes out of the axle, then check the connector under the right side chainstay if you have one (only later models). If it's...

    Zefal Dooback 2 Rear View Mirror Review

    I didn't mean that they would try to take it - just kick it or rip it off for the hell of it.

    Zefal Dooback 2 Rear View Mirror Review

    Nice mirror, but I still prefer the Cyclops because it can be folded down when parked at shops, so nobody messes with it:

    Lost power

    Where you cut the cable, what colour wires are there? How many wires actually had damage and what colours were they? AFAICS, you've repaired the red one, which is battery voltage. If the thing that cut into it also touched another conductor, a lot of damage can be done. Was it working after the...

    Boardman Team Hybrid

    I converted one of those a few years ago. You want a rear cassette motor kit with a battery mounted on the downtube. Which motor and battery to get depends on the mass of the rider and how far he wants to go between charges. If you want to make it into a workhorse, the Woosh 48v kit would be...

    Help! Best option for New controller and LCD display!.

    that one is OK, but very expensive. you can get the same thing from Topbikekit.com for about £80. Also, it's 22A and a bit bigger than the 15A one. Can your cheap0 battery supply 22 amps continuous? That's pushing it for some. finally, i prefer the type with block connectors because it's...

    New kit problems with PAS sensor

    It doesn't need the pedal sensor connected to work properly. For anything else, it's impossible to help without knowing what you have.

    Dahon bike conversion

    Read the numbers on the tyre and post them here. they give the tyre and rim size, which are the important numbers - not the size in inches, but the metric numbers next to that.

    A rear motor would be better. How many gears do you have? Do you know if they're freewheel or freehub?

    Boardman Team Hybrid

    A Swytch kit would spoil the handling and you might have problems with your carbon forks. I would give more advice if you showed us your bike.

    Review Pinnacle Mercury 2021

    SKS XLM Beavertails would be good mudguards for that bike. they're very cheap, nice and wide, very effective and unstayed, so dead easy to fit. Note that there are two types. Some have the beavertail ends and others, like these, have the rounder ends. It's normally the rounder type that you get...

    Recommendations for someone to fit conversion kit in NE

    It would probably be cheaper to buy a ready-made ebike than pay somebody to convert the one you have. It would only make sense to convert your bike if there would be something special about it that you'd need to keep or you were going to convert it yourself. Also, that bike would need a...

    Upgrading a Carrera Vengeance E spec - what options do I have?

    It depends which version Vengeance you have . Everything below applies to the one with the torque sensor and Suntour HESC system and to the Crossfire and Vulcan and any other bike (Raleigh) that also has that system. You can do whatever you want with the version that has a normal magnet disc...
