The WD40 people also make a silicone spray which is good for plastic I picked up a small spray when I went into screwfix, it lasts a while and you don't need to use much. Good for the wheel spindle and pedal shafts on grandchildren's pedal car. Found this: Spray

Funnily enough I've got two, but when you own a land rover your garage somehow seems to fill up with tools

Just bought a crank drive this year but yet to size up all the fittings on the bike. My old carrera bike has a hub drive and it's tighten to 40nm so trying to shift that without the correct tools would potentially be a problem, also putting it back without tighten it up correctly could lead to...

Now that has me thinking about a project to make something similar. You are right about the allen keys being lighter and better, even if I put in some of my ball end Bacho ones weight would be low, need to look at the 15 - 10mm titanium spanner but not the alli express ones

Appreciate all the input, that wolf tool looks interesting While I've been sitting here on this wet afternoon I found this offer: Offer So I jumped in and ordered (looks like a decent price) now I need to pack up my mini saddle bag with the patches and other stuff. Going to spend some time...

Saw this one on e bay Tool

Yes I can imagine that any type of tool like this has to be a compromise, but these days there are so many cheap Chinese immitations, it would be frustrating to buy someting which turned out to be made from solder and just makes things worse

I saw this one : Link Or this one : Link2 But this one looks better: Link3 Crankbrothers? I bet their schooldays were fraught

Cheers looks like you travel pretty tooled up. I forgot to mention the tyre inflator I bought from aldi which uses CO2 bulbs. Spanners I have in plenty having previously worked in engineering for 49 years and even worse owned a land rover.

As a none regular biker I often find that when I need it stuff gets scattered to the winds, and the small all in one tool I bought with allen keys screwdriver and chain splitting tool has annoyingly taken to the hills. Having bought a new bike back in January I still have hopes of riding it...

Seems this is quite an old thread here,. Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good value insurer in 2024 ? Plenty out there but as with all insurance it seems variable on price and reliability.

Good to hear that you have a solution. My Carrera won't turn on if left for a while but if I press the button on the battery for a few seconds then turn on the lcd panel it comes to life.

That's interesting I don't intend to go off road but I live in the Yorkshire dales and there are few level roads, in my all too brief test I took it up here and it coped well enough: https://climbfinder.com/en/climbs/wath-lane-pateley-bridge-silver-hill Good test for the brakes coming back...

Had my first real chance to ride my bike on Sunday. It's quite different to my Carrera bike so I need some practice, gear change on the Carrera is silky smooth but not quite so on the Haibike, power take up is different, and the bike handles differently. It's easy days but I feel it could use a...

New Post came this morning so I nipped out and fitted it, quite straight forward with no problems I could see, but looking at the forecast it may be a while before I can give it a real test.

Dam seems to be the story of my life, if i had ordered from Amazon I could have cancelled but its from eBay. It's a bright day so I gave it a bit of a run out. Covered about 18mls and it definitely needs the spring loaded seat post my poor prostate will thank me. Bit different from the...

I was looking at different sites including ebay yesterday, then this morning I received an offer of discount from a seller so 31.6mm suntour post ordered let's see how that works out.

I noticed that the smaller stems with shims seem to be a bit cheaper but you can get the 31.6 mm ones

I'm quite pleased with the bike especially at the offer price, it looks very good so I just jumped in. Looking forward to giving it a good test run, where I live is very hilly with few level roads I don't think a none e bike would be an option, it's a bit frustrating looking out at grey skies...
