    Buckled rim

    Interesting thanks. The eBay ones are a cheap rim. They don't seem to do a black 700c disc one, which I would like. As I have a Halfords care plan, then they are fitting a new rim. The labour is free and I pay for the rim, about £30. They are fitting the same one as standard as they don't do a...

    @ Thanks. What is ERD? How much do you pay for your rims , the A319 is about £30?

    Buckled rim

    Sounds good. Is it worth paying the extra for the A719 or just stick with the A319? Thanks.

    Buckled rim

    I believe they are 36 hole and yes do have disc brakes. I take it they are a good strong rim?

    Buckled rim

    Hi. I have an issue with the rear rim on my Carrera-e. I could feel a slight 'bump' when riding and upon closer examination it looked to have a small flat spot on the rim. Looked like from kerb strike, pothole etc, but don't remember any! Took it into Halfords, who said they can't repair it if...

    About to transform Specialised crosstrail !

    As both the kits that I want (oxydrive and EBC) have stock issues, I decided to buy another Carrera E for the mrs so we have 1 each. I have been very impressed with the Carrera and its power delivery,range and supplies and repairs are as local as you could want.. I may convert my Specialised in...

    Rear hub kit wanted

    I just know that it was a standard 250w 8fun mid drive with 15ah 36v battery. I assume it was all standard spec and not tweeted. I am sure it would improve with a little tweaking but it made an uphill very hard work. As it is going at present I may just buy another Carrera as does everything...

    Rear hub kit wanted

    Just looked at all those. I would prefer a built in controller, for cleaner looks, so that gets rid of most. Woosh only have the 350w for the rear. Not as easy as I thought !

    Rear hub kit wanted

    i am looking for a legal (ish) rear hub kit to fit on my Specialised Crosstrail disc 700c bike. I was looking at the oxydrive kit but there are none in the country at the moment and delivery is slow! Tried out a mid drive 250w Befang today and was very underwhelmed by its lack of grunt. My...

    About to transform Specialised crosstrail !

    Well it will hopefully be transformed for me anyway ! I have a Specialised Crosstrail Disc which is a great bike but I would like that little extra on hills etc as I am now past 50 ! I have ordered an Oxydrive 250/350W CST HT 36V 14Ah, SWX02, rear hub kit, which should hopefully do the trick...

    Difference between 250w vs 350w Bafang 8Fun hub motor

    The future of battery development will be very interesting and swift with the help of Tesla etc. What is the output of the Oxydrive inbuilt controller?

    Difference between 250w vs 350w Bafang 8Fun hub motor

    Can BPM also be had for rear hub or just front with Woosh ( spelt correctly mr Woosh!! Remove spelling rating!!) As you say the display is basic on the Woosh. Can it be upgraded to a good display. I do like a nice display...

    How does it compare with your oxydrive CST kit?

    Difference between 250w vs 350w Bafang 8Fun hub motor

    Interesting thanks. I take it the extra power will affect the range? I will always use the pas as want the exercise, so although I would like a little extra speed over 15mph on pas, the range is important and needs to be 30miles plus, at least that of my Carrera E
