    400 vs 500 Battery?

    For £200 I would do it. With a 400 W battery and the distances you are interested in will be easily in the range for commuting if not twice that. But to get a bigger battery has advantages in the future and when you want to sell. Plus the extra money you paid in a year or two will be forgotten.

    2.4 " off road tyres

    Well I think the sausage inner tube is off the shopping list. £££££ I need a set of specialist tyres to join Chris at Hopton Woods and Forest of Dean etc. to have a different riding experience. Great fun can be had when you have great grip. Having a ride on Chris's full seven while he rode...

    2.4 " off road tyres

    Need some "bike park Tyres" good grip for trails, climbing, risking my life down hill and plugging through mud etc etc. Looking around are 2.4" any good as the extra volume with a hardtail is very attractive. Also do they fit well in a Haibike 29

    How long should a chain last on a E-MTB

    Thanks for that. Reading; A 2 year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products). Would this be guaranteed or wear and tear, as I think this is going to be happening about every six months from my experience. The worn one is...

    How long should a chain last on a E-MTB

    Changing my bald tyres so had a look at why the chain now jumps in ten. Hope the picture shows that the teeth form a burr on the crown of the driving face, they are forming on nine and above as well.

    The only time I turn the assistance off is when I put the bike down. If its very steep I use maximum assistance then standard and Eco depending on how I feel and what I am doing. For me with hard off road and some on road riding I get about 32 miles from a 400 watt pack. If you cycle a lot...

    Self sealing inner tube saves the day :)

    You have a leaking valve, the slime did its job. Chuck the tube away and get a new one.

    New battery conditioning.

    From Battery University: Li-ion is a low-maintenance battery, an advantage that most other chemistries cannot claim. The battery has no memory and does not need exercising (deliberate full discharge) to keep it in good shape. Self-discharge is less than half that of nickel-based systems and...
