    Haibike battery lock seized

    So I took it to the locksmiths and they took it into workshop, basically oiled it, kept working the key and brought it back functioning! He thought maybe the key not very well cut.

    Haibike battery lock seized

    I'm wondering if I can replace just the lock barrel with a better quality item so it doesn't happen again in future. Having now seen how they attach the lock to the frame it's a shocking design.

    Haibike Yamaha - battery replacement options

    Thanks for that, excellent reply. I am currently doing building work at a place that does electronics and their guys didn't recognise the plug. Shame as they said they'd swap it for me if I found one.

    SRAM EX1 first impressions review

    Reading all this with interest. I have XT 2x10 on my bike and have found ( so far) that I rarely use the front mech at all ( purely trail riding, no road). I was thinking of ditching it to cut down on clutter on the bars but with everyone buying special chainrings, cassettes and derailleur cages...

    Swisd Stop pacs are excellent and last well but not cheap.
