On a good crank drive bike you could get up most things just using the modes say on a middling gear of around 16/36. My Bosch will get up most things in turbo in this gear but this will put unnecessary strain on the motor, use a lot of battery and leave you with no headroom. Better to learn how...

Over many years I’ve had good and bad results with slime. I once pulled 7 thorns out without the tyre going down then I had a flat with just one thorn. Never had any mess, just a small area of slime at the puncture site, easily wiped with a tissue. Always wipe the dried slime from the valve...

Years ago used to be obsessed about the correct distance so did the following, using a Cateye computer. line up a chalk mark on the tyre with one on the floor. With the tyre at your normal pressure and you sat on the bike move forward one revolution and put another mark on the floor. Measure...

If you bought your bike from a decent dealer he won’t charge for small tweaks in the software. It takes about 30 seconds after plunging the usb cable in.

OK, I didn’t know for sure, just thought that aluminium alloy would be a bit weak for the splines on the free hub.

I thought that free hubs were made of steel.

I’ve actually used copper slip for around 50 years with no trouble !!

Wow, that’s even worse than using adjustable spanners. Blacksmithing we call it.

My partner has a small tool bag under the Suntour NCX with tube, levers and probably make-up. This in addition to a rack bag.

Aldi used to do reflective Velcro bands for arms or legs ( trouser clips) with a ring of flashing led’s driven by a button battery. They were only about £2 so I bought a couple to hang on the rack bag. They would be fine for wrist indicators.

ALL bikes have multiple points of failure. A failure to me is something that can’t be repaired on site. I’ve never had this but have seen non repairable things like a broken frame (especially carbon), a collapsed wheel and broken forks. Also, a broken seat post makes a bike unrideable for any...

Well my toolbox is already full so I’d better not upgrade to the new motor unless it comes with a free toolbox.

"Thumbed around with the wires" is that a technical term? Sounds like they may come un-thumbed again to me.

I think that it is fairly obvious that it will be the tax payers as that is the governments only renewable source of money. Doubt that any investments will be blossoming.

That's one of the boxes that the UK rejected. I wear a mask and don't really give a fig what anyone else does so long as they keep well away from me. The mask isn't going to be as uncomfortable as that tube down the throat.

This may be a daft question but have you gone through the menu in the display to show speed? As Soundwave asks, what is the display and what is it showing?

If it was the Badass have you turned the magnet back around and lined it up with the sensor again?

I apologise, my post was slightly tongue in cheek and I shouldn’t have posted it. It’s was just that the English Dictionary definition of lateral is side to side. I’ve had camomile tea now.

Unlikely after only 300 miles but sticking pawls in the freewheel also cause this symptom.

Lateral means side to side unless the op is not sure.
