My bike is new, and I was just checking nuts for tightness. I was using the toolkit that came with the bike, but nothing seems to fit the rear wheel nuts. The 18mm is too big, and the other end of the spanner, 16mm, was way too small. So I got a 17mm from my main kit, and it was still a...

I need to tighten the locknut on my brake cable (Tektro Novela discs). Normal pliers are too wide, so I could use long nose pliers. Is there a better tool, that will mark it up less, some sort of spanner?

I have read a lot of threads where they mentioned spokes breaking as being a problem with some e-bikes. Sometimes the bike I am buying is mentioned as one that suffers a bit from this (Freego Eagle). The last time I rode a bike seriously was in the 1970s, and I don't remember ever breaking a...

Being very new to electric bikes, and having ordered a Freego Eagle that won't be here for a few days, I have been reading a lot of online info while I wait. A question occurred to me about batteries - do they come in standard sizes and form factors? I see batteries on many different bikes...
