    Brake squeal

    If you really want to make it better you could try washing rim with hot soapy water and degreasing pads, some get success doing this.

    Brake squeal

    Ha...both my brakes and my sons make a royal racket despite mine being new last summer. No bells needed as you say, just some braking and every one knows you're behind them... I can actually play a tune on mine (I'm not kidding), front brake is a noticeably lower frequency than the rear brake...

    Throttle query

If your throttle only works when you use PAS then check the settings on your...

    It appears then that even with full length mudguards you'll get sprayed. supposed the solution is a cheap cagoule to carry in back pack...or a poncho, they also help protect the controller/battery. Or just avoid the wet....I got wet this evening, first time, it wasn't heavy but enough to put me...

    Thanks for the links. Not convinced the Beavertails would keep my backside and feet as dry though as the SKS Raceblade Pro XL Stealth Series Mudguard Set: Matt Black, XL ?? I won't take the bike out in rain and if I'm out and it rains I immediately seek shelter, my use case will be for when...

    Will take a look at these routes, thanks. Know the current 13th Note well from Barras gigs, my band played there several times when it used to be on Glassford St in 90s and they did regular band nights downstairs. They also started comedy nights hosted by a spotty student called Ed Byrne...

    We use a lot of the main cycle paths in West End/City Centre - they too are in various states of repair and plain dangerous in certain areas. The East End is the one place we haven't cycled too, must be some nice runs for us to look up this summer from Glasgow Green along the river? Yes, I...

Was a little annoyed by the timing as was supposed to be meeting a mate for some pool and beer so was taking bike not car. However I don't have mudguards on the bike so did...
