Thanks Jonah, they look much stronger than the cheap plastic ones I have seen Buy cheap and pay twice is never a good option.

I think you misread my post. Like I said, we have the bikes and I am aware you can buy folding pedals. I am looking for recommendations.

Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend any folding type pedals for a standard frame style eBike please? We have 2 full size crossbar style eBikes that go in the “garage” area in our Motorhome. But getting them in and out would be much easier if it wasn’t for the pedals, so looking at folding pedal options.

Thanks for the link, that answers the question perfectly. I will put the 4a charger in the Motorhome and leave the 2a charger at home.

Hi Guys, We now have 2 different eBike, both Bosch systems. 1 has an in frame 500Wh Batter and a 36v/4amp charger, the other a rack mounted 300Wh battery and a 36v/2amp charger. Both chargers have the same plug at the battery end. My question is this, can I just take the 36v/4amp charger with...

I had the same bike for 10 years, it had 2 new frames, 3 headsets, 2 new motors, 5 new wheels and 15 new tyres, but it lasted me well :):):) Sorry, what can I say.. I'm an only fools and horses fan :D

Also make sure you comparing the same bikes. There are 2019 models in most stores selling at discounted price because Raleigh have already started selling 2020 models.

Well it took Raleigh over a week to get the answer, but for anyone wanting to know, the process is as follows. Screw 36mm nut fully into clamp assembly Align handlebars Apply light downward pressure on centre of handlebars Tighten top clamp bolt ONLY to 6-8Nm Lift collar to expose 36mm nut...

Hi guys, Now I’m sorted, the wife is now looking to buy an eBike. It will be used as a shopper/local sightseeing bike, whilst we are away in the Motorhome. She was looking at the Raleigh StowEway but then came across the Volt Metro LS. For the extra £100 odd pounds the volt seems to win...

It could have been a conversion ! That’s why I said it’s an eBike. I have been an engineer, mechanic and plane builder but that doesn’t stop stupid mistakes. The only stupid engineers are the ones who won’t ask for advice.

It’s an eBike andy, the only thing inside the tube are electric cables and brake/gear cables. I’m guessing it’s a case of aligning the handlebars with the clamp bolts slack and the nut screwed fully into the clamp. Then tighten the clamp bolts and unscrew the nut until the play in the headset...

I suppose if you ride enough your bound to have the odd spill. “Cue all the advanced cycling advice ”. The bike will fix and you walked away so count your blessings and cycle on mate.

Yes you are correct the big nut is threaded. It’s actually a split nut threaded into the casting above the nut itself. To move the nut in or out you have to slacken off the clamp bolts above it. But then the whole assembly is free to turn and move up and down on the shaft. No way can it actually...

Has anyone ever seen this setup on a headset? Specifically it has no centre bolt so no obvious means of tensioning the headset?

If you knew what that word meant, even you would see the irony in that statement......

When any city outside London starts to attract a fraction of the levels of tourists that London does, then maybe they too will be in a position to start forcing people onto public transport. That day however is never going to come but don't let the fact millions of tourists are propping up your...

EXACTLY.. Couldn't have put it better myself.

I agree with your statement, you are spot on when you state it is "Utter nonsense, London has proved a congestion charge works for everyone". No such thing has been proven, they continue to promulgate such rubbish to get as much from that specific cash cow as they can and they rely upon people...

I notice all the 'ban the car' brigade are conveniently ignoring the disable, delivery drivers, etc etc.

It takes many decades for those living outside a city but working in it to filter through the system, introducing an overnight charge isn't going to address the problem, it is income generation, usually from those least able to afford it, and the ones who can pay it without batting an eyelid...
