    Kit supplied front light test

    I have a supplied front light with my yose power kit that comes on then drops to about 5% power then 100%. Looks like it's randomly flashing. It has a 3 pin red plug connector. I can use a multimeter with basic knowledge, so how should I go about testing? I've looked at plugs and used some...

    E-bikes are great

    Reminds me that I passed a lycra clad racer at traffic lights. I was giving it all all I could just as lights changed from red to green as I wizzed past. Yeah it's fun. Nice hobby or commute. I'm so much fitter now and having just passed 1000miles on the bike, and in on for a tidy saving on...

    Bike lock Idea

    I think the more locks the better. Don't really matter what lock just plenty of them. Cable locks that can be snipped are junk and don't bother. I'm well pleased with my ABUS frame lock and mortise chain. That's two cuts crooks need to make. Or one cut and carry which is likely I guess. Then a...

    I wear PVC trousers and similar top to the above link over a padded rain coat in the winter. Make sure the hood is up to stop rain going down your back. Unless you spend big money the answer is more than one rain layer. Well that's what I find

    Brake calipers quality

    @guerney Current Clarks brakes I have adjustment screw (tension) all the way in on one side and fully out on the other which is odd but they are balanced. I'm not happy with that. I adjust every couple of weeks. Re removable pads. They are holding up well so far but I'm not convinced they are...

    Brake calipers quality

    Just for information. I've got a specialised MTB here I paid £80 for ready to convert with disc mounts. Just need to buy e-bike kit and disc brakes. My current bike I use everyday and works fine although I'd like better brakes. They work ok but a fiddle to setup. I was asking as plenty of...

    @Az. Yeah. I keep looking at the new bikes but I love mine. Don't want to change it. Only the handlebars and frame are original and I understand all of it. Can't part with it.

    @Az. I can't find forks that fit my bike. Nearest one's that might is a risk I'm not willing to make with the purchase at £55 from EU. Not sure they will take the front hub motor. 26 Inch 25.4mm 1 In thread steer 175mm long

    Brake calipers quality

    I bought a set of Clarks brake calipers for £15 when getting bike going last summer. I'm now thinking they are not the best? Is there much difference in performance with brake calipers? I'm thinking yes now but originally I was thinking maybe not really for what I want.

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    Re punctures. I noticed that at large junctions, or in my case large traffic lights there are areas of debris and grit. Often triangle shaped areas. I have ridden through these areas like I did on friday when I got a flat. I've also touched on these areas when keeping to the left when on road...

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    I got yet another puncture today about half a mile from home. Back wheel again. Just went down while riding. I am mad as hell. Feel like I'm being picked on! I mean seriously. Ordered marathon plus tyre to try. Got some slime bands ( not that slime gunk) to add as well. I can't go on like this...
