    When to change tyres

    Hello all. I would appreciate any thoughts/comments on the state of wear of my current kenda tyres. These have now covered 3200 miles mainly on road with occasional dirt/gravel paths. Do you think these are these getting close to requiring replacement? Is there any general rule of thumb when...

    Do we have a “Volt” bike representative among us?

    I have a volt bike with the same battery. I believe from the images that you do have the ‘large’ battery (which I also have) with the same label. I recently enquired with volt re the battery capacities. Here is the reply: the standard batteries have a capacity of 400Wh (36V, 11Ah) and the...

    on the beach

    Fairy liquid also has a very high salt content (sodium chloride) and may not be the best thing to wash the bike with. A bike cleaner or car shampoo wound be kinder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2nd hand Suntour Battery Pack SF-06 11.6Ah for sale

    I would edit your post and remove the phone number. Better sending the seller a private message ! It’s not a good idea to put your phone number in a public forum Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    pendleton somerby electric bike

    Looks like the pawls may be sticking. You could try a few drops of oil in the end of the free wheel where the motor cable exits. If you look in there while moving the wheel you will see a small gap between where the wheel moves and the static axle. This is where the oil needs to go. Sent...

    Freewheel play

    Hi D8veh, I would like to buy an 8 speed 11T/32T freewheel off you if the offer still stands. How would you want paying? Can you pm me with any details on how to proceed? Many thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Freewheel play

    My 8 speed freewheel can be a bit noisy sometimes, particularly if I’m in too high a gear and need to change down. It’s hard to describe the sound but it is sort of a grinding / clicking sound. After looking closely at the freewheel I have found there is about 2-3mm of lateral play in the...

    e-Bike carrier for Volvo V90

    Two ebikes is a lot of weight for a rear mounted carrier. Thule don’t even give you the option of a real carrier for your car on their checker. https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/bike-rack/trunk-bike-racks?q=2CJEEaFCy Even many towbar mounted carriers will not take the extra weight of ebikes...

    Back ache

    I’ve been considering one of these for a while. Could anyone tell me the height of the head from the saddle clamp to the bottom stop position? I’m worried it could make my saddle height too high. Can’t seem to find any dimensions anywhere. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Disc brake pads?

    I’ve been using the very same ones for the last 500 miles or so. They are working fine and no obvious signs of them wearing out excessively. Visually they look as thick as when I fitted them (the resin ones) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    is there a phone gps app that shows the route you have ridden

    I’m sure there will be several. I use Komoot for planning but you can also record an unplanned route. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Brake advice, please help

    What’s the best way to change from cable to hydraulic if the cables are internally routed through the frame? Can the hoses take the same route as it looks much tidier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    help in finding 7 speed screw on freewheel for 350w rear hub moter.

    Aren’t all free wheels ‘screw on’? It’s just the type of fitting on the removal tool that varies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best way of carrying two bikes on a car?

    If it says 15kg per bike then you can’t just use 2 heavier bikes on a 3 bike carrier. That’s an ideal excuse for the insurance not to pay out in the event of an accident. You are exceeding the manufacturers specifications. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best way to find and navigate off-road MTB routes

    I’ve been trying an app called ‘komoot’ which I’m finding to be quite good. Available on iOS and Android. You can select your discipline (mountain bike, road bike etc) and the routes used are then biased towards this. You can plan routes at home and then make the routes available offline in case...

    Freewheel / cassette sticking

    A bit of 3 in 1 oil seems to have done the trick for now. The pawls are clicking louder than they ever did. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
