    Bosch motor problems

    I haven't because I do this, but it is a problem if the connection gets wet and corrodes abit. clean it, grease it and put it back and it could solve your issues.

    Bosch motor problems

    Try taking the battery out and cleaning and greasing the connection this might solve it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Its as if no one predicted that companies would be better off moving into the EU and exporting a % of their sales back into the UK. oh no wait, it was predicted. http://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/brexit-mess-nestle-moves-production-blue-riband-poland-just-export-back-britain/25/04/

    Brand new Haibike, two broken chains in first 35 miles, and other problems, advice needed

    OMG... ok, a few points. 1) chains aren't all a standard length, you can buy shorter and longer ones and most bike shops will have a 50m reel of chain in the work shop for this reason. 2) you don't fit a chain and just hope it works, when you fit a chain you look at the length that is...

    I am shocked.... I could say a lot more, but I don't think it needs saying.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Agreed, she had to look at going full term and taking a General Election then. If she though Brexit was a positive, she'd wait surely and enjoy the glory. They've clearly looked at the time from now to 2020 and realised now is the best time. The news keeps coming and its not going to get...

    I'd say scary, more than baffling....hundreds of badly assembled bikes shouldn't make you feel any better! You just have to look at the number of bikes in the UK that were built by Halfords, with their forks on back to front. To realise quantity doesn't mean quality.

    Should point out the KMC chain IS designed specifically for the type of cassette you have. What they are saying is total nonsense, even if you've got the gist wrong, I'm afraid they are playing on your lack of understanding. Either its deliberate, or they know even less than you. Neither is...

    Who is this shop??... I need to know its not a KTM dealer... statements like "its a faulty batch of" anything are just down right lies. Clearly they didn't build the first bike, it came stock. So that might have had a bad link. But there is simply no way the chain they fitted had a link from...

    This is the problem I have with some "eBike specialist" shops. I've been into a shocking number of eBike shops who know a lot about e, and nothing about bikes. The bike is 99% of an eBike, and think some haven't realised that, shall we say.

    Well the Lib Dems gained 1000 members in just the hour after the notification this morning. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-general-election-2017-lib-dems-gain-members-1000-a7688711.html It is going to be an interesting few months and that's for sure.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don;t think you can say the remain vote has caused this... I think its obvious what's caused this. May has said since she got in, that she'd not call a snap election. So what's changed her mind. If she saw out the term, we'd be having the election in 2020. Which is the year after Brexit...

    Think Erdogan inspired May to go for a full on dictatorship. Her speech she mentioned how the opposition were opposing her and that basically wasn't acceptable... you couldn't make this stuff up.

    my point was more that chain 1 failed because the missing link wasn't fitted correctly. chain 2 failed because the bike shop didn't fit it correctly... neither of them is the fault of the chain, or the bike.

    I'd agree... apart from the fact that every chain I've tried fitting the other way has snapped within 30 miles, and everyone I know who;s fitted a 10sp chain the wrong way has snapped it within 30 miles. I can't explain it, but it happens.

    Looks like there could be 2 separate issues. The first one must have been caused by the missing link not being fitted properly, the chances of the break being caused by anything else just by change on that link are too remote. So thats the first one. The second one is a new chain and a...
