    Cleaning and maintaining chain on eBike

    Then the new bike is normal. What happens is that the pedals are connected to the chain wheel by a dog clutch (sort of glorified ratchet), so that when you pedal, the chain wheels turns, but if you stop pedalling, the clutch opens. Back pedalling when stationary has the same effect. The electric...

    Wisper or Crossfuse which should I keep?

    I have arthritis and many times have been thankful for the full throttle on my bike in order to get home

    Anyone dealt with Electric Bike Sales?

    I disagree. A genuine complainant would give full facts and just why he is unhappy. This guy was just rude and abusive and I don't want him on this forum.

    Chain slipping in hardest cog on rear

    If it is an 11 tooth sprocket on a crank driver, well they all wear. I don't know how many times I have replaced mine. so now I don't use it but only use the adjacent 12 tooth sprocket. In my case I tried new chains, adjustments etc. All to no avail. As far as I can see, there is no visible wear...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Probably beginning to suspect that he had his chance to vote for Brexit and messed up. I doubt if we will get Brexit now.

    I thought that the Jo Cox one was an absolute pile of ridiculous, unsupported speculation.

    no need for high cadence

    I would have thought that high cadence is simply wasting energy in moving your legs rather than propelling the bike.

    Attitudes of non-ebikers

    I live in Swansea and have not had any 'cheat' comments. Probably, because Swansea is very hilly, most people live on the sides or tops of the hills and all the places that they are likely to want to go to (Town centre, Beaches etc.) are downhill. This of course means that to go home is uphill...

    Oversize frame, my options?

    These motor cycle obstructions are a nuisance. We have got some near where I live and I came across a disabled guy on a scooter who was utterly flummoxed and could not get past. As for frame size, last time that I was in Holland I noticed that many small people, particularly women were riding 28...

    I suspect that a run of large volcanoes will do that.

    Global warming,is it just the cycles of the earth

    |because of the fervour displayed, I suspect that a proportion of Global Warming true believers are much the same people as the majority of the strident anti Trumpists. Neither group really have any deep understating of either subject. But back to Global Warming and now also Global Cooling...

    Global warming,is it just the cycles of the earth

    He defeated the most corrupt and well funded campaign in history, while spending half the money as the “Most qualified Candidate in history”…… But he’s stupid, anyone could have done that. Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign cost a record $1.2B How Trump won by spending half as much money as...

    Global warming,is it just the cycles of the earth

    For me, the problem is that Global warming has become a religion to many people. They are not scientists and do not have any idea of what may or may not be happening. They Believe. They hold the faith and decry unbelievers as heretics. They tell us that the debate is over. Yet they have no idea...

    independent e bike technician

    My Chinese mid drive bike(TONARO) developed a broken freewheel inside the gear box. Despite looking at Youtube for advice, I could not dismantle the gearbox because a special tool was needed. There are now no importers of TONARO in the UK, so I contacted an Australian retailer who advised a...
