    Great safety signs from Northumberland county council. Any other councils doing anything like it?

    It's only locals who will understand the reference, but it amused me;-)

    SuperCycle Bicycle computer

    There's a newish FREE app available on Android and iOS named SuperCycle which I think is excellent. However I'm sure it has more capability than I've so far discovered. Has anyone used this app. and found either an instruction manual or a video describing the more advanced features than those...

    Chain jumping on smallest cog

    Nealh's reply "If it is just the small sprocket worn then one can buy them separately." Does this apply to screw-on freewheel blocks as well as cassetttes? If so could you provide a link to a source, please?

    Battery capacity and longevity

    I've covered 15000 km on my NCM Moscow in just under 3 years. A local re-celler tells me that this is much better than he would expect for a 48v 13Ah battery. I may be noticing a slight reduction in capacity, but it may be just cold weather or maybe just me, and I'm hoping to put off...

    Looking to buy E-bike

    I have had a NCM Moscow for almost 3 years and 15000 km. No issues other than wear and tear. 48v battery, 29" wheels, has some punch and can be readily "tuned".Highly recommended and competively priced.

    freewheel

    Videos are often presented as mirror images. Did the Youtube video, to which you refer, have the freewheel on the correct (right/drive) side of the wheel?

    They also refer to a light carpet and a light carpet in the same paragraph. Would a light carpet be similar to a heavy rug?

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    The delivery is expensive. This over generalised. Some items are"free" ie included in the headline price.

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    Whenever I have had cause to refer an issue to the arbiters at AliExpress, they have always accepted my proposals for full or, in a couple of cases, partial refund for slightly faulty, but not unusable, items. They do seem to require a long time before you can refer an issue for refund, simply...

    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    A dissenting voice here...... I've bought 50+ items from Aliexpress. Around 5 to 10 have never been received and I have been refunded. There have been occasional problems with quality and delivery of correct sizes eg an an XXL cycling shirt was sent when I'd ordered XXS. Delivery has generally...

    Dangerous suspension seat post. Don't buy this!

    Those of you watching the recent European Track cycling may have noted the Nederlands sprinter Jeffrey Hoogland, who eventually won the gold medal, losing his saddle during one of the the qualifying heats. It's hard to believe that a world class organisation such as Nederlands Cycling would...

    Punture

    I ride about 4k km/yr and have Tannus Armor linings in both tires that I run at 50psi. While it’s difficult to be certain, I reckon they’ve reduced the number of punctures from around 12 to around 6 per year. Virtually all punctures are due to hawthorns and sustained around the current time of...

    Lubrication/preventative maintenance for NCM Das-kit rear hub motor

    I'm approaching 13000km on my NCM Moscow e-bike and other than wear and tear.... chains, freewheel, punctures etc (still on original tyres) ...it has behaved perfectly. I've asked Leon Cycles for advice on any attention that might benefit the motor (probably made by MXUS) . They have suggested...

    Help! Bafang kit fitted, pedal stripped thread.

    Agree except in my experience you can't put them in incorrectly unless you use brute force and completely strip the threads

    Tuning and fitting throttle to NCM Moscow and related NCM models

    Hi ccer George The solution I am advocating allows a throttle to be fitted & need cost you no more than a couple of £; vfr400's solution will cost you at the very least 10 to 20 times more and will be more elegant though not necessarily any more effective. I have replied to your pm J

    Help! Buying online help

    IMHO the NCM Moscow is an excellent bike. I've had mine for over two years and have covered 11000 km without any issues other than wear and tear. The speed restriction can easily be overcome if you're handy with a soldering iron and need cost no more than £2 for a suitable generic board which...
