    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 battery lock seized

    The actual latch bolt moves freely but key doesn't turn it. Key barely does quarter turn, stops dead, doesn't feel like just grit in there.

    Haibike battery lock seized

    As the title suggests, lock is seized! I eventually got battery off with a combination of twisting key, hitting the lock/battery and swearing! I've removed lock from bike but can't get it to operate. I lube it every ride and bike is less than six months old. The latch pushes in and out...

    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.

    Plus size tyres info

    That's what I always advise people but not easy to find a mondraker demo and the dealers with demo bikes aren't neccesarily anywhere near me or the ones with the best prices! I'm also on a low budget. I looked at specialized but I've heard too much negative stuff about the brose motor, shame as...

    Plus size tyres info

    Are the + tyres harder or easier to get onto rims also? Will I need to get tougher tyre levers?! Also how are you finding battery life on your Jam2? Looking at Bold2 and Mondraker Vantage

    Plus size tyres info

    Great replies, thanks! I guess with tubeless changing type of tyres depending on where you're riding has to be more of a long term decision though? I also found maxxis tyres to be excellent have used minions and swamp things in winter, loved those. What's the thinnest/smallest you can run on a...
