    Tested my helmet today.

    I'm sure I look like an ideot wearing a helmet and have even had someone call me a dick riding down the road wearing one while wearing shades to keep flys out my eyes. I'd rather look like a dick than have a brain injury or even worse. I never wore one as a kid and had one acedent and have a...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    I suspect I could get a yamaha motor imported that would fit my bike not been into it but that's why I picked yamaha motor. I suspect they sell one under a different title where they are manufactured. Yamaha sell to there own people and overseas. Giant call it syncdrive I suspect yamaha call it...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    Yes exactly and the market leader will have to sell parts in my opinion to gain a reputation for looking after customers and not ripping them off. If they don't other company's will start to eventually fill that demand and they will lose aftersales revenue. At the moment they are bringing new...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    Thanks the bosh motor looks a good motor too. I have noticed more people seem to go for the bosh systems than the Giant or yamaha motor. What will be interesting is how many miles on average you get out of them in comparison, and who end up the best suppliers of afters sales parts. Giant just...

    EU trying to impose insurance for E-Bikes

    Don't count on them not doing it they implemented a smoking ban in all enclosed spaces and included the pub trade that for hundreds of years was a place you went for a smoke and a drink. They decimated it with taxes and bans. They didn't even give pubs the option of being smoking or none smoking...

I've got a Giant E+1 mainly road use with a bit off road now and again. I've got through two cassettes in that mileage but it's just...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    I'm getting 1000 miles before my smallest tooth is worn but I ride in that tooth most of the time. Not ideal but I'm going to change my largest chainring so I'm comfortable in the middle of my cassette most of the time. If you get 5000 miles that's good I wish I got 2000 miles hopefully I will...

    Ebike cassettes and chains

    The best cassette for an ebike are all steel cassetes and there are ebike chains that cost double the amount of some chains. Im not sure how stronger they are than high strenth none ebike chains or if they are worth the extra but high tensile steel is harder than other materials used to make...

    EU trying to impose insurance for E-Bikes

    But does that mean they will lift speed restriction and give us the same privlidge as any other veacle because if not they will destroy the ebike indusry. people will switch to motor veacles and ride normal bikes. That seems very unfair to people who spent thousands of pounds to avoid the extra...

    If drivers can't judge speed maybe all veacles should be restricted to 15.5mph it would save lives

    Is it legal to carry a passenger?

    Remember the good old days when you didn't care and fitted trick nuts to carry your mates and nobody ever said anything and you didn't care anyway? Maybe I'm getting old but today's people think everything should be sugar coated or banned
