    Carrera Vengeance PAS Issue

    Thanks for the reply @saneagle, Yes I can confirm the disc is a steady 1mm or so from the sensor. confirmed by sliding a thin piece of card between the 2 and checking the distance is constant throughout pedal rotation. The disc was tight on the shaft. After removing the disc I can see the...

    Carrera Vengeance PAS Issue

    Hi All, I have an old 2018 Carrera Vengeance E-Bike which despite the less than illustrious reviews has been faultless until now. Today while out for a ride I lost all pedal assistance. After a sweaty ride home a few hours later I put it on the stand and and it worked perfectly for a short time...

    Desperately seeking help before I make a massive mistake.

    I have the Cyrusher XF650 and I'm very pleased with it. The webpage says it has a 250W motor but I doubt it very much. (Although it does come with a sticker saying it is 250W, so who am I to argue). https://www.cyrusher.co.uk/products/xf650-ebike?_pos=1&_psq=xf65&_ss=e&_v=1.0 TTFN John.

    McLaren Unleashes Most Powerful (Legal) e-Mountain Bike Ever

    Sadly not legal in the UK. (But nice none the less). If I had that kind of money and the restrictions didn't exist I would probably go for something in the Optibike range TTFN John.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    As I admitted immediately after flecc's initial accusation, it was nothing more than a poorly phrased reply on my part and as Tony1951 indicates I meant to say... And not... "Don't make the top of the list". Which was a poor choice of words. flecc, seized on the reference to "The Top" and...

    I felt you were playing the racism card for no real reason and as I said my reply was ill phrased. What do I feel he should be doing better? I don't think he handles policing well at all and I think that impacts the lives of many Londoners who simply want to get on with their lives. The...

    That was not what I said and you know it. A poor phrasing of a sentence on my part possibly. But your obvious intent to make it appear so is simply disappointing. TTFN John.

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I'm quite surprised to see the racism card brandished so quickly by you flecc, I expected a more reasoned argument. I'm sure "Tony19512 doesn't need me or anyone else to defend him, but as a non Londoner I see a lot which makes me glad I don't live in the area and Khan's ethnic background or...

    Regarding Moon landings etc.. Call me gullible, but yes I believe they happened and I also think the photo's were taken on the moon. But do I think what we have been given as evidence has been enhanced to the extent that what are seen as errors/evidence of collusion are simply mistakes or...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I have to admit I feel somewhat fortunate that I can't have a smart meter. Gas was not available at our address for many years after we purchased the property and it only became available after a distribution park was built a short distance away. However the gas supply which is a branch off the...

    I'll have a look at Clearscore. It doesn't really affect me in the grand scheme of things as I was brought up to live within my means and save for anything I wanted. I did have a mortgage and have had a loan for a car in the distant past, but generally I've lived appropriate to my income and...

    I'm back for another moan, :mad: I've never really paid much attention to my credit score but despite this it's always been pretty good. Recently I noticed it's dropped a few points. Why??? So I decided to use my banks tool "How to improve your Credit Score" just out of curiosity. It seems my...

    Well, this seems like an ideal space... Thanks Flecc. No expectation of comments, just a personal rant. :mad: I'm getting increasingly p1ssed off with all the useless offers and rewards various organisations want to offer me. Like most I have a supermarket "Rewards card" and am constantly...
