A mate of mine has the Furo Aventa e-bike and is considering changing the wheels as the existing rims are more road bike style with a deep rim and very narrow tyres fitted. This causes some problems as he is on the sturdy side and keeps getting punctures. I guess it’s just a case of finding a...

I took the bike for a spin this weekend but the ride was cut short as my mate got a pinch flat on his rear tyre and we had to limp back using all the CO2 canisters we had on us at the time. Anyway, the clicking has stopped and the float on the pedals is a thing of the past. Only thing of note...

Took the bike back and they were able to tighten the BB and eliminate the play. I haven’t been able to go for a ride since but fingers crossed, it should be resolved. The staff at Sheffield couldn’t have been more helpful.

I visited Evans’ shop and tried a few of the display models, none of which had any play in them. A young employee was prepping a bike there and said there shouldn’t be any play present so I’ll take the bike back this week.

If it helps, this is a picture of the non drive side. The play is around 1mm but has been quiet today after a light spray with Muc Off Shine in the general area. I’m guessing that Bafang manufacturing tolerances are pretty tight so something else has messed it up. Would a shim work between the...

Thanks again. It’s cadence sensing PAS so I’m going to have to live in hope that Evans accepts the BB is at fault and can then order the part before they lose the rest of my bike.

Thanks all. Good spot re the Aldi tool set - I’ll probably order that even if I have no idea what half of it does. Having scoured YouTube this afternoon, I can’t find anything that addresses my particular symptoms of the axle/spindle moving from side to side. In fact it seems that it’s only me...

According to the website specification it is a 68mm BSA threaded BB shell.

It is a Bafang hub motor and I’m pretty sure the bracket is marked Bafang as well but like a dummy, I forgot to take a picture when I went out earlier. What I have discovered is that there’s play on whatever connects the two pedals. If I pull on the non-drive pedal arm it moves and pulls the...

That sounds like a plan. I’m hoping it’s not the bottom bearings as I’ve got a horrible feeling it’s stamped Bafang so probably contains something important for the pedal assist.

I hoped it was going to be an easy fix so put new pedals on but unfortunately there was no improvement. I haven’t ridden a bike since I was 17 and am now 62 so things have moved on since I managed to cajole my old Puch pushbike into life - having a motor being one of them I guess. If only I...

I’d imagine that the battery gets shaken around more on a ride than it would hanging off the back of a car with working suspension.

I bought a Pinnacle from Evans earlier in the year and have done around 500 miles so far. Apart from a clicking noise that occurs twice on each crank revolution when the pedals are under load, it’s a bike that does everything I want and I’ll hopefully be keeping it for a while. So, my question...

Unless you plan to regularly move continents, it might be easier to buy an e-bike in say Europe and use that to tour around that continent then sell it on when you move to North America etc. I haven’t experienced major problems carry multiple small batteries but I know airlines are more wary of...

The Pinnacle Mercury rides on 27.5” tyres that have a decent width and profile. The bike is also rated for trail/towpath as well as road use and so far has proven to be very robust hauling my 13st plus a couple of cans per ride.

If you can cope with the customer service are pray to the gods of good fortune, I can recommend the Pinnacle Mercury 2021 from Evans Cycles. I’m 5’6” and was lucky enough to drop on a just built shop model. Fits just fine with good range and sufficient power for me. I was worried about the lack...

StiPod is as stupid does. And your spelling is atrocious.

That’s when the bus arrives !

You may get it to go faster but it won’t go very far.

Fingers crossed. It had to be a relatively simple thing because the battery performs so well when it’s awake.
