    Buy 48v 17.5 ah battery in UK. Where?

    Unfortunately this can also work the other way around with bad reviews from the shop/hotel next door or down the road. I have been to some lovely places and had excellent service at shops with bad reports. I take them all with a pinch of salt.

    If the bag rattles a bit, as mine and my friends did, just tap the runners on the rack in one place with a plastic mallet to tighten. Mine was ok on road but a bit rattly on rough tracks.

    Changing the front chainring on Bosch CX drive

    The one on my Trek says FSA, the one on my Cube says nothing. I have had three from E-Bike shop but they seem a bit flimsy compared to the FSA and with just a number on them. What or where you get an original Bosch one from I don't know, if indeed there is an original Bosch.

    The mudguard (Beavertail XL) from Halfords is actually a front and back combined and is attached to the rack front and back with zip ties.it is not fastened at all down at the bottom of the seat tube but is very stable.

    EMTB STREET SESSION *DESTRUCTION*

    Apart form the bench, he nearly kills at least 4 pedestrians and then rides down the middle of the road, in the dark, doing 30 mph/kms so clearly derestricted.

    If your talking about the main compartment and not the pannier sides then a battery will easily fit inside the Topeak with plenty of room down the side. You would struggle though to fit two batteries but it is possible if you extend the top and place one on top of the other.

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Yes The rack and bag are the same as on my Cube and Trek, actually I just swap the bag around, apart from the spacer blocks for the disc rotor which are welded to the bottom of the stays. I didn't like it sticking out so much so I went for the non-disc version for both bikes. The uni version is...

    Purchased a 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500

    Racks seem to be pretty standard and will fit a 29" tyre but with little room for a rear mudguard. I've fitted a couple to friends bikes. I have a Topeak Super Tourist on both my Cube Hpa Slt 500 and on my Trek Powerfy 9. The matching bag for the rack slides on rails and locks into position (no...

    Spare Battery.... expensive luxury, or twice the fun.

    Decathlon's best selling hydration pack looks perfect at £17.99. I wouldn't think you would need anything bigger than 10 litres and there are loads looking just like the expensive one above. Maybe not as many pockets but it's just for the battery.

    Rear racks

    I have a Uni Topeak Super Tourist DX coupled with the Topeak MTX Trunkbag. These have been on my last three bikes and have proven excellent. Two friends also have this set up and we have used various panniers. We also use the rack as support for the rear mudguard instead of stays. The Uni...

    Cube Reaction Race 500 Puncture Issues and Limited Tyre Choice

    I fitted 28" Schwalbe Landcruisers to my Trek 29er with no problem as they are basically 700c rims. Done 1600 miles on them.

    Stolen bike found

    The police are pursuing the criminal side of the theft but didn't want to get involved in the ownership. According to them, CC and the bloke who sold the bike to them are innocent parties ( cough cough) until proven otherwise. CC have this bike locked in a room not for sale so yes I could have...

    Endurance Grips

    I use the Ergon GP2 grips which also have the stubby bar ends but I've used bar ends on and off for many years mainly for the change of grip they afford on long all day rides I also have a rack on my Cube Reaction SLT so obviously I'm not bothered so much about looks. If I was going for just a...

    Stolen bike found

    I had my 4 month old Trek Powerfly stolen in September and this month it turned up in a local Cash Converters, thanks to a tip off from a local bike forum. It cost me £3200 and CC wanted £1500 after they paid £1000. The guy who sold it to CC said that he bought it at a car boot sale ;);). Fancy...

    There are a lot of this type of keyboard about for around this price. I've had the Saitek Eclipse for a few years now. This has a dimmer switch for the backlights and media buttons, volume, pause stop etc.

    Real Life Range

    I think that you are missing the point for a lot of riders. Eco mode gives 25% assistance when pedalling, and I'm not bothered about how fast I'm going just how fast my legs are recovering.

    Anti theft devices

    Blimey, can't see a thief wanting to run off with that lot. Unless he's heavily into recycling.
