    Chain coming off front sprocket

    I guess that this is what is happening to me. What pee’s me off apart from it coming off is the way it jams. It seems to me if the cog was just a couple of mm further in our out relative to the fame. Then when it came off it would either not jam in the gap or alternatively if the gap wider...

    Chain coming off front sprocket

    I have a Haibike treking1.0 Bosch Active line plus. 3 times the most recent the chain has come off the front sprocket and wedged between the sprocket and the motor cover. It is stuck fast the only way apparently to remove it is brute force and ignorance it is making a mess of the cover...

    Government ushers in new era of green commutes with e-bike Cycle to Work scheme

    It might be live for some. But the third party that administer all the benefits for my company have told me that the limit is going to stay at £1000 for the foreseeable future. To make matters worse, the guidance makes it clear that £1000 is the limit for the scheme without a FSA licence. So...

    Government ushers in new era of green commutes with e-bike Cycle to Work scheme

    I was looking to buy an Ebikes through cycle to work. I am due to test ride a couple in the £1.5-2.5k range tomorrow. Obviously, this change could save me a chunk of money. But the question is when will it become live rather than a proposal?
