Carrera Model? Photos maybe?I'm looking to convert my Carrera hybrid using a Yose kit--my question-bottle battery or carrier- either about
14 ah-any experiences would be welcome.
I agree with you that tab of the anti rotation washer defo needs to be in more to be effective! - I missed that completely!the tab needs to be down in the droupout
Don't skimp out on brakes, those cheap cable discs are a pain to live with. £40 will get you a set of hydraulic calipers that you can fit and forget. You won't regret the extra few £s.Seems to be a case of "you get what you pay for" although the reviews seem pretty good.
Yep, used one of the existing bottle nuts, and a new one further up. Got a tool from ebay ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/86PCS-Set-Blind-THREADED-NUT-RIVET-INSERT-TOOL-GUN-RIV-NUT-RIVET-M3-M8-RIVETER/163306985427?hash=item2605dad7d3:g:ujsAAOSwGgdbvhKS:rk:3:pf:0 )Cheers for the info and links egroover.

It's the Carrera Crossfire 1.....Carrera Model? Photos maybe?
Just got myself a brand new (lost in warehouse) 2012 Forme Stag MTB - pretty high spec with 26" wheels - from Peak Cyclesport in Macclesfied. at a great discount. All Shimano Deore/XT and Rockshox Recon forks.It might be best to get another 26" bike although apart from the voodoos, the only ones I can find are either around £100 quid or for kids now and i'm 6'1 lol.
Where is your 15 mile radius based on?Thank you Laser man. I'm currently searching on gumtree and ebay for people posting bikes within 15 miles of me. Nothing ideal has come about yet.
Gone already!Website showing 2 x 26" black cassette kits with battery and intergrated controllers IN STOCK!!

Hey egroover what size rivnut did you end up using? I am looking at a tiger shark battery case and with the extra batteries its heavy an extra 1.2kg(ish) more than my current setup so I think i'd better play safe and secure it properly!be careful not to go too bit, the rivnut needs to be a tight fit.
The kit I linked to includes the rivnuts, I think the ones I used were M5, they will be the same as your existing bottle cage boltsHey egroover what size rivnut did you end up using?

There is another "jumbo" shark case i like the look of more than the "tiger" a bit more slim line however its EM3EV so from the US and it'l attract import duty and or VAT so an extra £60 compared with the UK tiger.
