The best I’ve done on my cube acid one 500 was 68 miles (not kilometres like the roadies use ;) ) and that was nursing’s the battery, Off & eco on the flat, upping the power only when I really needed it. This year I’m riding much more often (both analog & digital) but my 59year old knees suffer...

Ive used a homemade version of “cat ears”, they cuts out a lot of wind noise. nothing more than a pice of fluffy material wrapped around the front helmet strap . And for the winter I Made a triangular version that reduces noise and keeps my ears warm

Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it won’t leak. I had a brand new tube that would hold pressure for two days, after that it would stay at around 10-15 psi indefinitely. obviously when testing the tube In the open air it can never reach its working pressure so the leak went unnoticed on the...

To quote the lecturer on my speed awareness course :rolleyes: (many years ago) some drivers are “slow to slow and to quick go”

This is unlikely to happen in my lunchtime but when it does they will also need to come down hard on the increasing numbers of illegal, un registered electric mopeds out there ;)

On my acid one the stock suspension forks were pointless on tarmac and canal paths and not up to the rougher trails, so I upgraded to air forks. Now I ride it with the forks locked for everything but the rougher trails when they come into there own. The same thing goes on my analog mtb, as I’m...

Riding a brand new bike straight out of the store and the chain breaks, it will be covered as it’s obviously faulty and not fit for purpose. the only time I’ve had a chain break was on my non E Bizango (11 speed) only a few months old, the KMC replacement has been faultless.

They are spacers that keep the sprockets together and also stiffen the larger ones

Well I have no experience of this type of system but surely it’s just a magnet or series of magnets passing a sensor, the sensor won’t know (or care) in what direction the magnets are going, just that they are moving ;) Its the same for any bike with a magnetic speed pickup, on any of the...

Hi Elliott and welcome. A lot of us here have bad knees so you should fit right in :p;)

Cube with Bosch ALP motor, nearly 3000 Trouble free miles. It has been no more trouble than my two non E bikes

You could probably get a derailleur setup in you frame but your frame won’t accept the gear hanger without an adaptor if one is available ! id consider a 8speed hub gear also it should Drop straight in. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Taylor-Wheels-20inch-double-wall-freewheel/dp/B00AA8SCZM

Hi, is the bike restricted to 15mph max assist and dose it have a magnet on one of the spokes To measure the speed. if the answer is yes to both questions then putting a second magnet opposite the first will half you assisted speed (7.5mph)

Yes but you’re find is an OEM part probably available soon after the motor arrived, I was suggesting that 3rd party manufactures would be late to the party :p

Bosch in their infinite wisdom have 3 different “performance line“ motors. 2014 performance line, 2015 performance line CX and 2020 performance line CX. It’s not the OP’s fault for buying a tool that doesn’t work as at it appeared to be the one he needed, nor is it the shops fault as the tool...

When the tool you brought was first manufactured it fitted the motors available at that time, since then Bosch have made vastly different motors but only subtle changes in there name. its no different to any other industry, designs change throughout the years but the product name stays the...

Suntour NCX :cool:

I’ve been using Komoot free for years, mostly for recording my journeys but occasionally to plan a route. I get very few emails (less than 1 a week) and they are always in English. It’s sometimes difficult to tell the difference between a footpath and a cycle path or byway but if I’m unsure I...
