Flecc, you must be glad that the Brexit thread is paybyview. It makes you the only winner. :)

On a similar theme, my daughter took this shot in the garden this morning. A male pheasant that seems to keep popping into to the garden, perched on one of the sculptures that I have created. :)

Close the door on the way out as well. edit.... Please! .

If this had happened to me after five months of ownership, I would have just shrugged my shoulders and got on with fixing it myself. If no leaks were apparent, I would have then move onto the brake pads, and rather than just taking a cursory glance, would have fitted new replacements. If...

The reason couldn't be more obvious, as that is what you are after. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/electric-bike-guides/uk-electric-bike-law/ "All electric bikes with motors more powerful than 250W are required to display a tax disc, with insurance mandatory and with the vehicle registered. It...

So glad that I always just buy the same type and size of tyre each time, and just swap them over as the rear wears down.

My take on it, is that provided that the trade member has a suitable bike marketed within their range, then they wouldn't be doing their job properly, if they didn't recommend a bike. I can't say that I have ever noticed any one particular dealer pushing their wares, and only note that some...

The sprocket wear has been no different. I also hardly ever ride above cut off speed when riding off road. I just don't have that interest. I get my fun either from very steep climbing, or from slow very technical terrain, and most of my riding time is spent weaving in and out of trees and...

The ten speed Sunrace cassette that the above replaced, shows no sign of wear, even after about 2-2.5k miles of use. The 11 speed SRAM set up also show no signs of wear, but I am currently clueless about the mileage without looking. The 11 speed set up is nothing but hassle in respect of...

As some of you might know I'm a bit of a street trials fan, and have recently been taking quite an interest in Ali Clarkson. Watching his YT channel, I just spotted the following about running tubeless. A very convincing test. If you don't want to watch all of the clip, skip to about 9.30...

Air cannot get into the system when inverted. The system is sealed and this cannot happen. If you have issues after the bike has been inverted, then the job of bleeding the system wasn't carried out properly in the first place. Beyond the above, the only reason that a lever may pull back to...

My wear is completely the opposite. All of my wear occurs on the lower three cogs of the cassette. The higher gears have zero wear. I don't have the exact mileage to hand, but this is after roughly 700 miles of use. The front sprocket would have only have achieved about 500 miles. New chain...

Why do you need it to be daylight and dry?

Taken on the journey to work this morning. Ladies Mile, in East Sussex.

I realise that in reality it isn't going to happen, but as a long shot, it could be worth asking KTM http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/members/ktm-bike-industries-uk.8115/ to put out a dealer request, just in case someone is daft enough to enquire about buying a battery and console. There is also...

I'm only guessing here, as I have no idea, but presumably the narrower width that that you go, the squarer that the tyre will inflate, which could affect cornering stability. As said though, I am only guessing at that. .

"Acceptably" isn't a phrase that I would have chosen to use. At the very best, it is a rubbish and inefficient form of drive system. I have zero time for friction drive systems. And yes I have in the past had the misfortune to use one. Past failing asides, this one hasn't exactly been quick...

Exactly, especially as no one besides the OP, knows which motor is fitted.

Perhaps go for the same tyre choice as Chris is using. Also check that you have enough chainstay clearance before making you final choice.

It is funny how the brain works (or in my case doesn't), as despite knowing that it was there, I still read it each time.
