Or, things that have come loose... Rear spokes, started coming loose after just a few hundred miles and a couple of long 30+ mile days without a spoke tool caused an alarming wheel wobble. Local bike shops refused to touch it as wheel can't be removed to go on the jig for trueing without having...

you could cover about 150-170 miles a day Outrageous claim, you're gonna be ****** trying that on any bike no matter how good, yeah you can do it one time, IF you have put in the training and that takes months, and you need to be seriously hardcore. Wake up the next day with aching bones and...

Moot point, depends on the internal battery management system and how much you are willing to spend. QC too, if I am spending 600 quid on a battery I want to know it's worth the money, I read somewhere that the best batteries go through a specific build where individual cells are rejected if...

This is my touring setup - Few more items to add, bag on top of the rack, weight doesn't seem to affect performance, as soon as you know it you are at the 15.5mph cut off limit anyway, carrying another battery is something I am considering but I'm planning a couple of shakedown tours first...

The only thing to make sure of is charging the battery at say 10C or room temperature, the cold will only decrease battery performance whilst riding, not damage it. Think of it as a chemical reaction, it's slower in cold weather. Same as a car battery or anything else. End of the day it is a...

I've noticed some 'green' already appearing on the battery connectors, but really it's a case of common sense, it's only superficial and can be removed with a cloth, copper is famous for going green. A toothbrush is good for non-destructive cleaning of electrical connectors. I'm more worried...

You don't need to do much really, Finish line wet lubricant for the chain is ideal for the wetter weather, wd40 to spray into the brake levers etc. it won't interfere with the electrics and drives water out if the bike has been left in the rain. A bike cover, I got one from Halfrauds. Don't...

In my case I was done for drink driving recently, I'm an alcoholic and I didn't drive for 7 years because I knew what would happen. I relied upon public transport and ordinary (but nice) pedal bikes, I've been a hardcore cyclist most of my life, all weathers, had a short job working somewhere...

I bought this on spec, I'm an experienced cyclist and had several phone calls with the bike shop first before placing my order. Had to wait 2 weeks due to a hiccup with Sparta getting the battery deliveries over but going for the 600 w/h was worth the wait. I get around 40 miles per charge...
