    Kalkhoff spares shop

    It will be interesting to see what spares they stock and list. I've just tried opening the site but it does not seem to exist. This is not an uncommon happening. I've tried accessing new site advertising before and it ain't always possible. If such a sight does exist then it speaks realms of the...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    Hi Keith Good point about the frame. As the carbon belt is endless you do require a special frame that has a brake in it or window to allow the belt to be fitted. I would imagine they are reasonably easy to get now as endless belts have been around a few years. Any chance your wife will be...

    Why so few hub geared bikes with belts ? Looking at Kalkhoff

    I'm beginning to think there's the start of a debate here. How about it? The Enviolo Nuvinci system is revolutionary. It's the first really new idea for decades. It matches the "e" bike perfectly. Come on all your thoughts on this system both for it and against it but keep it clean and sensible...

    Help! Front Brake Judder

    I suggest you go back to the brake and inspect the pads. Judder sounds very much like the pads are contaminated with an oily substance. The brake may also squeal a bit when applied. If you have tested the head for play as your previous contact has suggested it is unlikely to be loose. If you do...

    Hi from Mid Wales.

    Sorry to hear that Kevin. May I suggest that should you get no joy from Leon Bikes you go down the route of "NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE" and ask for your money back. This may sound a bit drastic but the bike clearly is, NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE, which is something Leon Bikes should have checked BEFORE...
