    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, and I think you'll find that "result" isn't a positive for the UK is it? Its only positive if you think immigration is a problem. This is exactly my point, the only way you show people we need immigrants to fill jobs we can't / don't want to do... is to take them away and see the impact...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As Flecc has also said. We don't need to. We just have to let is unravel itself. I met with a peer from the House of Lords last year and he told me very much the same thing. The positive about Brexit / Trump is at least we'll see these "solutions" are not the solutions. If Remain / Clinton...

    Its not just about trade, its about movement of people.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm worried Dave! Have someone been reading the Daily Mail to you in your sleep? You do realise this nonsense about the EU not issuing accounts is just simply a lie. Also, yes we pay x in membership and only get back y (which is less an x) back directly. But its proven over and over and over...

    Ilkey Cycles closed down

    I'm sure they'll be brand new. But this isn't overly relevant to you. The motor you got back could have been your original one with a new cover and new bearings. It might have just been serviced and repaired, it might not have been a new motor. I don't know. Warranties generally start from...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was discussed by many people. I think the phrase was "project fear" This from May 2016. https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-referendum-and-irish-border/

    The new Di2 parts you bought are new, so they have a new warranty, if these Shimano parts fail for some reason then you'll get new ones, but the warranty doesn't rest from the point of the new parts. Its still 2 years from the date of purchase. Parts replaced on warranty, don't get a new...

    Ilkey Cycles closed down

    it doesn't have NO warranty, it has the same warranty as the one you originally bought, which is ideally handled by the shop you bought the bikes from. Others can help as a good will gesture like Ilkley have done for you in the past. Yes, if you've had a new motor they'll have the new better...

    Ilkey Cycles closed down

    They won't deal with you, but to be fair you don't need any paperwork from them. The new motor doesn't come with a new warranty. if you have any issues call us.

    Replacement parts

    That picture shows the mech in a horrible position, so its no wonder its making a horrible noise. The top jockey wheel should be about an inch lower with the cage with the logo on it being pretty much horizontal. It looks like the mech spring is probably rusted up so its not spring back like...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Yup, thats a totally generic pawl, that will be used by a host of hub brands. eBike market is pretty small, so they won't be making specific parts they don't need to. Many of the problems with eBikes are easily solved if you remove the e bit from the equation. They really aren't that...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    Surely its only a pawl? Kalkhoff won't have manufactured themselves a specific pawl. They'll have used something from a supplier that will be available and is probably used in hubs. I bet if you take the pawl into a decent bike shop, one that's been around for years, so I'm afraid I'm talking...

    Ilkley Cycles Closing Down

    So far I think every bike that has been delivered has been sold. Another was shipped out yesterday. We try to encourage shops to start small. To prevent problems as discussed above.

    independent e bike technician

    Well there is no powerpoint involved in the Bosch training that I've been on. There is a 210 page eBike manual given to the attendees that the course helps explain. Its very useful, and I've had 20+ years working in the bike trade and I still make the effort to attend every year to find out...

    independent e bike technician

    Yup, its £600.00 and takes about 30 seconds to teach bike shop mechanics which end of the allen key they need to use. They all have a coffee and then go home with their certificate. I'm amazed so many bike shops keep doing it. * Just in case the sarcasm is missed by Woosh.... the only part...

    Has anyone taxed a 45kph bike yet

    There are shops that I know have done it to sPedelecs. What's worrying is the shop you're clearly looking at buying this from don't seem to be able to do it. They should be the ones sorting all the paperwork for you.

    Well yes, but that really isn't Bosch specific is it?

    independent e bike technician

    I've been on a large number of these courses, and they are all slightly different depending on the audience, as it can be a mix between shop owners, warranty guys, sales guys, mechanics etc etc. and yes the software side of things does take more time than taking off a motor, because taking of a...

    independent e bike technician

    Bosch are replacing them no question asked, so there really is nothing to worry about if this does happen to you. You certainly don't need to go to an "engineer", to get a statement, or threaten court, being nice gets you a lot further in this industry. But yes, your correct. Your contract is...
