Update on this issue, and praise for CRC I brought the bike in and they looked and agreed there was a problem and where perplexed. Were going to order the part and the guy mentioned that he had only seen the issue once before. Realised it was me had had it and immediately said to replace the...

Hopefully you can see the break from these pictures. I'm annoyed, as I took it in for its 6 week check and for it serviced after 6 months. It's kept indoors and cleaned very regularly. I can understand things wearing out but surely a pannier rack isn't one. I've done 1100 miles on it and it had...

Steel rack could be a good idea. I would have thought that the one that is on was of reasonable quality but obviously not Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I'll post a picture later. In work fretting over it at the minute... Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Hi everyone. I'm posting here to see what people think I should do with a problem I have been having. I bought a Cube town bike from Chain Reaction last January (2016) in order to commute to work, a journey of about 11.5 miles return. After a couple of months one of the bolts holding the...

Is that such a bad idea? Get it sent to someone here (offering my address if you want it), then get the train up and back down again. Take advantage of the strong euro! Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

The word intended is important in that sentence! My wife had lived here and worked in the nhs for over 20 years. She doesn't have a UK passport. Not for that matter do I. IF parliament votes for brexit is she guaranteed that she can remain here, in her job? We'll have to see what watertight...

On the subject of brexit again, and the possibility of a 'hard border'. Reckon I will be able to save a few quid by buying an ebike down south and smuggling it across the border to northern Ireland? Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Hi David In sure you're busy with the show but wondering who is the Belfast dealer. Bit too late for me as I bought at the start of the year (Cube from Chain Reaction) but my wife would be interested in an ebike so would be great to have another supplier over here Sent from my E2303 using...

I work in software development and support. A could of years ago I felt I was going to have a heart attack or some sort of breakdown. Told my boss I was leaving and going to teach Taekwondo full time. He asked me to go part time. Now I work 8am to 12.30 pm at that job. I teach after school...

Is French bread in France not just 'bread'? Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

Sounds like a nightmare. I'd say go and speak to CAB, or just email them. There's good advice here but you'll feel more confident with CAB behind you. You can mention that to 50 Cycles and they might take notice. I had problems getting a timely fix from custom reaction. Spoke to CAB, let Chain...

Ordered two in case they only last a couple of months. Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk

I'm lucky to have cycle lanes for a lot of my Belfast journey. I do see one Audi driver who seems to be afraid of oncoming traffic and insists on blocking the cycle lane in slow moving traffic. (I leave at the same time every day so do see familiar cars/cyclists each day) Where there isn't a...

I bought a Cube neoprene cover which when it came turned out to be for a downtube battery. Mine is rack mounted :-/ You can have it for £10 plus p&p if you want Sent from my E2303 using Tapatalk
