Nice Triumph georgehenry! The only four stroke I've ridden off road was Honda TL125. I'm sticking with my GBK kit for now, it's lasted three years so far. I'd be tempted with a rear hub next time thought

Battery is still going strong three years later!

Thanks d8veh, the motors never been immersed but my commute route is on breedon gravel which when wet covers the bike in a grinding paste quality slurry. The bearing looks fully sealed and the seal is undamaged so I'm surprised it's let by? Something must have got in there though

Cheers, it's tilt unfortunately. I did tweak the nut but to no merit. Reluctant to open the hub etc

Hi My front hub is three years old and I've just noticed play in the bearings, there's noticeable play in the wheel on the right bearing. Obviously the bearings are a sealed unit. It's a GBK100 which I assume is a Q100? I've seen d8veh advice on opening the hub but I'm after advice on what's...

That's a good point but I bet that if it was a £2k oke Koke 2000 mountain bike and not a Real classic ladies bike then the supervisor would have definitely built it! What's a big pity was that the local bike shop didn't have the bike my daughter wanted

Completely agree with that, the bike hut manager promised to build my daughters but a kid did it, awful attention to detail, most nuts were loss and sturmey archer needed adjusting. I knew I shouldn't have let them build it!

I think it would depend on how the upper brackets/arms of the rack fix to what would otherwise be the seat stays of the suspension bit? A few ideas here...

Sorry Cwah are you referring to my original post or to the subsequent ones?

Cheers, my GT frame fortunately has the bosses on frame for the upper mounts it's just the lower ones

Yes, I should have said I haven't got drop outs. You also get a luggage strap and a light so for £20 it's good value. I may put an LED into the light and run it off the battery as per my front light

Yes, suspect that nylocs and thread lock etc will be the order of the day. Got through three racks now!

Just bought one these, quite a bargain: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=141506608560

Bought some of these last week, very good. Size 9 to 11 fits over a size 8 shoe. Nice and warm. http://www.halfords.com/cycling/clothing/shoes/ridge-overshoes Alternatively I also use some £30 walking boots from tresspass

These are good: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Pair-4-Color-LED-Day-Spot-Light-Motorcycle-Car-Truck-Bulb-Lamp-12-80V-LS4G-/131004478373?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160 But worth sealing the cable entry with a bit of silicon and angling downwards onto the road to prevent glare.
