    Haibike Sduro HardSeven Frame size

    Hi - I’m selling my 2015 Haibike sduro hardseven on eBay and I’m trying to work out the frame size. I can’t see it marked on the frame. Any suggestions where I should look or how to work it out? thanks!

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven - Rusting

    Yep - I was just surprised it got to the pointing of rusting almost solid and snapping in the space of 4 months and a couple of hundred miles. We've got a few other bikes in the garage - a 6 year old Trek and a similar aged Specialized bike, as well as kids bikes. None of them have ever had any...

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven - Rusting

    Can't remember the brand. Will take a look when I get home. Either way, it wasn't WD40.

    Haibike sDuro HardSeven - Rusting

    Standard WD40 isn't silicone is it? Although I think they do make a WD40 Silicone product. Either way, the silicone spray I used was supplied, branded, marketed as a bike specific lubricant.

    Smart ebike out of production?

    I've biked to work a few times on my regular bike (trek mountain bike with hybrid tyres to make it more road friendly) and have no issue with it as such. I'm reasonably fit (run 8-12km 2-3 times a week plus circuit training). The problem I have with biking to work on my regular bike is that it's...

    Smart ebike out of production?

    Hi All I hadn't considered a Pedelec/ebike until a couple of days ago when I spent 1.5 hours in my car on a 5 mile commute. Have previously cycled to work a few times but we have no showers there and this can be a problem... Have been researching it over the past couple of days and the bike...
