    Clicky, grindy noise in low gears

    Here we are again... Check the gap between the top of the jockey (upper pulley wheel) and the bottom of the biggest cassette sprocket (known as the B setting) on the RD.

    Clicky, grindy noise in low gears

    Try to lift the rear wheel off the ground (bike stand) and turn the pedals, stand on both sides of the bike, put your ear closer to the mechanism or even use an engineers stethoscope all along the drivetrain.

    Tinging sound coming from somewhere!

    As above, check the spokes - lube them, get a spoke spanner - give them all a very slight tighten, check the headset and stem bolts for correct torque, if you have discs brakes - check the rotors for being flat and no stones trapped in pads.

    Come on spring

    Same here, but coupling the cold weather with emphysema is not good, so the Giant Defy on a turbo trainer is getting some regular use. However the brand new Oxygen MTB is glistening with all the (un)necessary cleaning!

    No post preview in Chrome

    Hi All, When I hover mouse over post titles I don't see a preview box when using Chrome, but okay in Edge. Started about 10 days ago, is there something in the settings I'm missing?

    Completely new to E-bikes

    Oxygen S-Cross MTB. Do a search and read reviews in this forum. My requirements were similar to yours and after advice from some forum members and a trip to Oxygen Bikes, Rotherham, I bought one - brilliant piece of kit. Fitted a throttle, from Oxygen, myself.
