    How much cash do I need to outlay to gain an extra 2 mph ?

    Just bought one of these bikes. Nice bike, decent ride, but yes, a BIT more speed would be nice. I'll be following this thread & scouring the web...

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    Woah there, buddy. Wind your neck in. You really don't seem to get what I mean either. I'd rather you refrained from "helping" any further. I shall refrain from calling you what I'd like to call you.

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    Maybe I phrased it wrong. What I mean is, the PAS doesn't kick in until I pedal at a certain rate, so I still have to pedal my *rse off to get it to kick in. If I shift to a lighter gear, and therefore have to put less effort in to pedal faster, it works just fine.

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    I'm leaning closer to that every day. The tools are indeed not too expensive. It's a lack of confidence, mainly - afraid I'll break ****! :rolleyes:

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    Agreed. I was not impressed. It's a shame I don't have the space or the tools to do everything myself, as I used to be pretty handy at fixing bikes back when I were a yoof. It's really annoying; normal bike shops don't want to touch e-bikes, e-bike shops only really sell & work on their "own"...

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    Update on this... I've had the freewheel fitted now. Bit pointless, as it looks like the PAS on my bike works on cadence, so I still have to pedal just as fast to get assistance, which means I now ride in a lower gear, as I can't pedal that fast on the smallest rear cog (weakling, I am). And I...

    Replace forks on a Samebike LO26?

    Can you point me to some? I've been having a look around eBay, but I can't see the wood through the trees - so many options, I have no idea which to go for! With the 11 tooth rear freewheel I'm going to fit, I recon the stock largest front sprocket will be good, but I have no idea how many teeth...

    Replace forks on a Samebike LO26?

    I love that. Nice job. Was there no issues with the hydraulic disk brake conversion? The brakes are wired into the control unit? I think the bike could do with better brakes, especially if I'm making it lighter, changing the gearing etc. I'm also considering having the entire front derailleur...

    I got a decent set of Fox Floats on eBay, for £60.

    Replace the gear cassette on an e-Bike?

    Bugger... Was going to fit the new gear cluster at the weekend. Bloody motor wiring runs through the axle, and goes into the frame - wasn't going to unplug all the wiring! May have to pay a professional for this.

    Replace the forks on a Samebike LO26?

    Got a set of Fox Floats - should be arriving tomorrow. Guess I'm dismantling and rebuilding my bike next weekend, with the freewheel, forks, tyres, new disc brakes... :rolleyes:

    Replace the forks on a Samebike LO26?

    Hi, has anybody done this? The stock forks are awful, feel like they might snap if I ever took the bike off road. I know I'd need a 1 1/8ths fork, but do I need threaded or not? I'd rather not dismantle the whole front end to find out I bought the wrong forks... I know the LO26 is only cheap...
