    To go tubeless or not to go tubeless.

    Small dive cylinder works for me. Pops the tyre onto the rim so fast you can hardly see it happen.

    E-Bikeshop.co.uk

    Bought a Haibike from them a few years ago. Good as gold, even emailed Martin on a Sunday when I had a tiny problem and got an email back the same day. Can't speak for anyone else but I'd buy another from them.

    How long to wait for a warranty repair?

    Why do you need to leave the bike with them at all? Why not ask them to order the parts in and I'd think you could fit them in 10 minutes yourself.

    Mopeds with large wheels.

    Seem to recall that mine was red so I guess that the restriction was applied to all bikes after a certain year. May have been slow but it did have proper footrests instead of pedals.

    Mopeds with large wheels.

    Bought one myself around the same time. Trouble was, mine was restricted to a slow speed. My mates older versions did 50mph + Always last to the pub. Whilst fun at the time and I too have many memories, looking back it was the most dangerous bike I have ever owned.

    pedelecs banned from UK event...

    I've ridden the London to Brighton ride on a regular bike 13 times. I no longer ride this due to the massive number or riders making cycling the whole route impossible. Plenty of pushing up the hills due to crowd speed and volume. Last thing I'd wanna be using and pushing is a 20kg Pedelec. BHF...

    A 30mph crash fatality in something not tested or safe..

    Why don't we all agree to shut the F up with regard to the dongle issue. It's supposed to be a Pedelec forum not a moaning git forum.

    To go tubeless or not to go tubeless.

    I used to get guaranteed punctures, some times front and rear together at what I call bush trimming time. Went tubeless (stans) well over a year ago. Not a single puncture in 1000's of off-road miles. Add a bit more sealant every few months through the valve and its as simple as that. I always...

    Has anyone tried to register an S-class in the UK?

    is that we want to use these bikes legally on UK roads,both 50 cycles and just e-bikes in their advertising suggest that these bikes can be readily registered as light moped classification and therefore used on UK roads once registered. You,by moving this to the S-class section have made the...

    Cleaning and detailing

    Eddie, I think you enjoy cleaning your bike as much as you do riding it. Mine gets cleaned when it rains.

    Non Ebike MTB Gearing

    But with a MTB, more range must be better for all round use. I dont understand why the trend for less range. I get the small benefit from slightly reduced weight. Are these bikes best for the more level terrain

    Non Ebike MTB Gearing

    So what range would my current 20 speed give me?

    Non Ebike MTB Gearing

    I've been looking around to replace my Specialized Camber Evo MTB, great bike but it is now time to upgrade. The trouble is that almost all of the bikes I fancy are now offered with a single front chainwheel only. My current, having two. I rode today with a couple of mates that own single...

    Another dirty weekend!

    Pretty good run for an old bloke

    Avoiding canal or footpath conflict.

    I find people mostly respond in a nice way to a simple bell on and off road. Each of my bikes have a small bell fitted and despite uncool comments I am keeping all of them.

    Journalist has bluff called

    As we already know you dont have to be intelligent to be a PM in this country. Looks like Canada have much higher standards for applicants. What a great clip!

    Parking on the pavement

    I'll take on the job. 50/50 on the ticket revenue. The council won't have to lift finger. Just give me the licence and I'll start tomorrow.

    I can now see why people want dongles banned. Riders like you.

    Ride Hieght

    Have you set the suspension sag for your body weight. I typically start with 20-25% for both front and rear. In my experience FS bikes even when set up correctly do have slightly higher bottom brackets than hard tails. Worth checking the set up though. Kerb height will always be higher than a...
