Just check the steerer is long enough for your bike head tube, and it's unthreaded and whether tapered or straight (match with existing fork on bike)...some forks use post mount disc caliper mount or older style IS mount ( you can get adapters) . Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs...

Just to update, turns out the chain suck was down to a worn chainwheel. New one fitted today ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364294336249?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0fqwmqzxtxi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Dst78JQnToG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY ) and all is smooth and quiet. The...

I did the same, but I found that even after charging for a few days, after a week or two the clock was out. I guess like all rechargeable batteries, they get to a point where the amount of charge they can hold diminishes. I did read on some forum where someone had soldered on a new battery onto...

I'd take some photos and email CRC asking for some part refund. It's in their interests to do so as it'll cost them to have the bike returned and then they'll have to get the bike returned to the supplier etc. If they agree you can get yourself a cheap fork replacement ( for example something...

If you are small size, couple of decent deals on Schwinn hybrid bikes for £100 delivered Ideal for a front hub motor conversion (steel front fork)...

Old skool, reminds me of the 'Cow Horn' steel chromed handlebars I was rocking back in the 70s on my old man style converted 'tracker bikes' Single back brake, knobbly cycle speedway tyres, sturmley archer 3 speed rear wheel (nail wedged conversion to single speed lol) Happy times

if you are displaying watts being used at any one time on the display, then depending on what assist level you are in and how much (or little) effort you are putting in, if the display is showing you are using, say about 300w when it's assisting you, and you travel 15 miles in one hour, you are...

I think the way to look at any very cheap bike deal like this is as you are getting it at rock bottom price, if it doesn't work out for you, then the resale is going to be not far off what you are paying for it, even 1 or 2 years down the line. I found this with my 1st gen Carrera Crossfire-e...

Can't believe there is not more interest in this Buzzbike. Available from Chain Reaction cycles too and £449 with code EXTRA10 Hydraulic brakes (180mm rotors), 10ah Samsung intube battery, torque sensing, mudguards, stand, lights, pannier rack,etc... Perfect easy rider maintenance free...

Yep same here, there's an internal small rechargeable battery, similar to a PC CMOS battery. They can be replaced if you can find the right one and have the soldering skills. Leaving the display to allways on setting will ensure it keeps the time, but will of course drain the ebike battery a...

Thanks Percy, but already tried that, see above post, too tight

Yep, bonus points to Sturmey, it's the narrow/wide lekkie copy offset 42t alloy chainring from Aliexpress (about 30 quid)

Yep, all recovered now thanks, but a couple of weeks off work in bed and a few months physio on and off at the time. Damp solid chalk rutted farm tracks at 20mph on knobbly tyres is not a healthy combination, beware kids !

Hi all, quick update, I tried a chain with one less link, no good, way too tight, so chain length is correct, 114 links, as originally worked out using calculator and same length as old chain. I suspect it's a combination of new chain and existing chainwheel causing the chain suck. I think I'm...

Hoping to get back on it tomorrow removing a link. I've got a brand new Bafang kit 44t chainwheel still in the box to test if needed. Might even switch back to that as don't need the lower geared 42t so much now I've given up the off road use of the bike in the last year (big off resulting in 3...

I reckon they'll all look like that after a 100 miles

Good advice, I'll do that

Thanks all, some great suggestions and advice ! In the video, I was in 3rd or 4th gear, it's less noticeable in 1st gear if I remember rightly. Chain suck, of course, knowing the right term for the issue helps a lot (cheers @saneagle ), I can see that now from the video, the chainring is...

Hello all, I've replaced my chain, cassette and derailleur today and am now experiencing a chain flapping noise when riding. I checked the chain length using a calculator (114 links). My chain is a KMC x9 114 links, the new cassette is a SunRace 11-40t 9 speed and the new derailleur is a...

Don't cry when that cheap Chinese chain chews up your £130 cassette ;-)
