    Pro Connect Chain

    Whilst having my Pro Connect bike upside down to carry out a gear cable adjustment at the clamp end (following James's excellent advice) I also checked the pivot bolt on my jockey wheel and it was also loose - as was the bolt on my wife's step thru' Pro Connect. We've covered about 400 miles...

    Pro Connect Gear change cable adjustment

    Thanks JamesC for your excellent instructions - I made the adjustment at the clamp end and all's working well. Thanks to you all as well for the intersting discussion on causes. James also made an important point in another post about Pro Connect chains and lubrication of the jockey wheel...

    Pro Connect Gear change cable adjustment

    James Thanks very much for such a very clear, informative and encouraging reply which I'll follow. I'm only surprised that it needs adjustment after such a short time - surely the cable isn't under a lot of strain? Mike

    Large frame Agutta on e-Bay from 50cycles

    Surely 50C cannot have that many ex demo 57cm Agattus for end of season disposal! The winning bidder for the 'first' one was new with a zero feedback rating. If I'd been selling I'd have been nervous - was it won by a 'tyre kicker'? Only 50c will know.

    Pro-Connect Tyre upgrade

    Hi Bob Got a Pro Connect - diamond frame a couple on months (well 2 actually as my wife wanted a step thru' one as well). We both find them GREAT having come from 2 lead-en Powabykes. The one thing we're missing is the comfort of a sprung seat post. Where did you get your sprung post for the...

    Battery Performance vs Rider Weight

    My wife and I have recently purchased Kalkoff Pro-Connects (24V 10Ah Li-Mn batteries) and I'd be very interested if anyone could calculate what difference in distance we might achieve on them given that all parameters are the same on a given ride except of course the fact I weigh 75Kg and she...

    Electric Bike Security

    Thanks for the comment flecc. Are these easily fitted - as I said we've bought Pro Connects (one diamond frame one step thru') which don't come with wheel lock and our existing lock/chain/cable options are so heavy!

    Electric Bike Security

    Beware combination locks and Insurance query Be very careful using any form of budget locks - especially combination varieties. A simple wallop with a hammer busts them open as I found on a £25 allegedly "quality" one from Halfords on a motorscooter. Insurance companies insist on GOLD...
