Kenda that came on the bike - I have since dropped the pressures a tad for winter. @Kininvie - I can't even begin to imagine how much suction was generated onto your saddle at that moment!! :eek:

Now in my defense I think i was doing a reasonable speed, but it seems I underestimated the grip provided by well worn paving flag stones that have a very light misty rain covering. Simple left turn, a little banking and the bike simply slid away from under me as I, rather gracefully hit the...

I know there's a "cost" but surely the drag would be barely detectable? It's like a very small magnetic windmill - still think it's really smart :)

It's not really Hall effect but anyway I have to say I think this is a very clever idea - the animation shows exactly how it works https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/reelightdenmark/cio-battery-free-bike-light?ref=category_popular

Absolutely - no problem. Many thanks - tripped over the 100 miles mark last night - love this thing!

Perfect thanx - will drop it in at lunchtime if that's OK

A-ha! Think I may have found the problem. I mentioned a click on an earlier post and have noticed it a little more as you stop pedalling hard. Pulled the crank arm sideways yesterday and there is a distinct knock - bit like a clock - noise when you pull the crank arm away from frame then back...

So here's the thing. I installed Strava because I'd seen FB friends posting their runs. I looked it up, saw it did bike rides as well and just installed it. When I first went to record it gave me the option of run or bike. Clearly I have no pretentions of bring some supercyclist. When I...

Tyres at 50psi and no change. But performance isn't suffering as another blinding trip to my mums nursing home today and I posted 4th fastest time for Vicarage Hill this year on Strava and 16th of all time (out of 902) lol! I'm 5 seconds off number 1 for this year so balls out next Saturday...

I'm all lubed up! No better, no worse - gut feeling is still that it's bottom bracket related so as I'll have to do maintenance as I go along anyway I'll buy a bottom bracket tool and check out the bearings and crank. I've been doing a lot of reading about pedelec systems etc. and the whole...

So if I greased the chain and that gave a temporary improvement that would prove it as chainline?

OK this is the best description I can come up with what’s happening: What Best description is a “Grrrr” feeling through the pedals as the crank passes from horizontal to vertical on the power stroke of either leg – in other words at the point of most load from the leg currently pushing the...

The thread is still here...ok anyway @Woosh - no problem will do - thanks. Just completed 15 mile round trip to Benfleet. No issues. Sensation no better no worse. Recorded on Strava but not sure how to share? Used assist 2 or 3 depending and v. occasional throttle on return journey to get past...

I really do appreciate you looking at the bike today - I also appreciate it's a difficult thing to detect/deal with. As I've said above I DO (honestly!) love the bike. I do also, however, accept my initial post wasn't necessarily my finest hour so in the interests of all concerned (and also...

Just popped in to Woosh at lunch time. Was greeted by a lady with opening line "I know who you are - you're the bloke who rubbished us on the forum!". I said I apologise if she felt that but I hoped she could understand my frustration having just spent a grand on a new bike (I have actually...

They dont owe me the donuts for not picking it up through pre delivery test then? :p:) To be fair they offered plenty of tea and coffee - which they make a decent cup of :)

Honestly? I wouldn't know the benefit. I was originally looking at the Karoo which is a great looking and cost effective bike but it just didn't have any grunt (read that as traditional bike experience). A grand was my limit and the Rio certainly gave the performance I expected from a pedelec in...

Been out on it again - slaughtered Pier Hill. Hilarious fun! No way I'm giving this up!! I know initial post may have seemed like over reaction but I've never owned pedelec before let alone spent 4 figures on a bike. Still feels like something crank related - find out tomorrow

Ok - I removed the chain, sat on the bike and pedalled - no graunchy feeling at all so doesn't appear to be crank or pedals. I went out on bike again and there's definitely something going on. That's as far as I can go as I dont know what I'm doing with derallier gears plus you actually built...

Woosh Rio MTB Actually having rotated the crank counterclockwise the pedals feel really 'notchy' (overtightened?) so I'm wondering whether it's this I can feel?
