Hi John, I've tried that - not sure how successful it will be. The bike will be getting used again tomorrow so I will see how it does and report back in. I used superglue, not sure of its suitability on this material.

Wingreen, I have only just seen this post from you. Yes it does look like another viable option. thanks for the info.

Just wanted to update info on these tyres. The bike has now covered 1400 miles since these were fitted and obviously the weekly punctures are a thing of the past. I've pulled large shards out of these tyres so they are doing what I wanted - enabling my son to complete his 22 mile daily round...

Ok - thanks Neal. I've had a reply back from cyclotricity asking for output readings with the battery fully charged when switched on and switched off. I am not sure what use that info is - switched off reads zero as you'd expect. Switched on was showing 31.3. Any way, I decided to open the...

Yesterday I lost output from my 9ah bottle battery. If I take the bottle off the bike and turn it upside down ( as I did to test the output) I get volts. As soon as it is turn up the right way I lose all output. You can "feel" something move. So I have contacted Cyclotricity and will see what...

Update - Bike is off the road ATM. No issues with the tyres, but my battery pack has given up. Turn it upside down and it works. Turn it up the right way and it doesn't output any volts. Sounds like something is loose inside. Have e-mailed cyclotricity to see if its repairable......

Well at the risk of being ridiculed.... I used a strip of aluminium from B&q, used tin snips to cut to an approx size of 28mm length then used a hand crank grinding wheel to round off the edges and reduce to 27.5mm. 36 custom made clips. Fitted using the standard Tannus tool which allows you to...

My bike is the 500w version and whilst I use it routinely fully restricted and road legal, I have used it unrestricted again with no issues. However I have not used it unrestricted for any length of time so it is a bit of an unknown. Fair to say that for a 250w configuration, I can see no issues...

OK - yes that is a good point although I've not experienced this. The fit is very tight, but with the high torque i guess that is possible, although unlikely. Thanks for the info.

I don't understand how they can't take the power of a 250w motor... How would that problem manifest - any one know?

Yes you can remove, but would just need to buy a bag of new pins as they would likely be damaged during removal. The pins are only a couple of £s.

Just to add that I use the bike unpowered at the weekends for a short local ride with my 8 yr old and they roll just fine. Longevity is the only thing I can't advise on. I will update when they have more miles on them...

Yamdude - same reasons I switched. They are great. My son is doing 22mile round trip each day and cannot afford to get flats. After the initial change of feeling from not very well pumped up tyres and tube's you forget they are on. If you Google Tannus tyre reviews there is very little not to...

Have fitted a pair to cyclotricity revolver. Very reassuring. Definitely a harder ride. Fitting requires a bit of muscle, but is perfectly doable. Main problem on my rear wheel is that the internal rim width is beyond the scope of Tannus supplied plastic pins. So I had to make 36 custom size. So...

thanks for that info - I had given up searching and so ended up just replacing the bearings. It's good to see there is a BB that would probably fit my old bike. thanks for that d8veh

Just for info. My old Mistral Synergys pedals went "loose" last week making it extremely difficult to ride. On inspection I found a totally disintegrated bearing. I thought I'd be able to get a bog standard all in one bottom bracket but quickly discovered this is not a standard size. The...

check out this discussion http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/is-it-road-legal-to-restrict-a-500w-motor.15529/ My motor has a 500w sticker on it, but is restricted in the software and being ridden legally according to some. To others, it's illegal as it says 500W on the sticker.... really?!

Well, out of the box, the revolver is set up to utilise 250w motor but can be un-restricted to utilise 500w motor (dual windings - I'm not sure...?). So as sold and as used on the public highways in the UK it is legal. I wouldn't be able to advise on your 500W motor. There are some better...

Colban, I am on my 2nd commute today. My first attempt saw me get 2 miles down the road before the chain snapped! I got home on power alone and went to work that day on my motorbike. Cyclotricity sent a new chain out no problems with their customer service as you may have read from others...

thank you ajb9. Will get in touch.
