Agreed, I can't stand a rattle or a squeak, or anything in between for that matter. I have a tiny clearance between the top of my battery case and the rear rack it slides into. I found a 4 inch length of electricians cable, flat twin core and earth, slides between the battery and rack taking...

Hi Geoff Good to hear the cycling is going well, and you had a good experience with Bosch over the battery. I, too had prostate cancer with a Gleason score of seven back in 2006. In fact I got the diagnosis on my 52nd birthday which was delightful. Still here after 16 years, though, and still...

A post borne out frustration and not a little irritation. My bike is just short of a year old and has had to go into the dealers for some warranty work as I had an electrical issue and found some burned phase wiring when I took the controller compartment cover off. It has now been in the...

Nice to get back to the original thread posted by the OP!! :) Great to see you are still at it, Bob. If you have had a bit of a lay-off for a couple of weeks, and are now trying for a longer distance you will feel it in the legs. Especially the knees and the thigh muscles immediately above...

Just by way of encouragement to the OP, I find I can ride up hills on the ebike much easier than I can walk up an incline. Walking up a slope gets me breathless very quickly, and whilst I can't exactly whizz up the hills, a 25 mile ride over undulating terrain with a few decent hills as well is...

As a fellow sufferer with heart problems, my guess would be that the OP really just wants to buy an ebike he can get on and enjoy immediately without the potential problems and workload of fitting a kit. Especially if he is not of a mechanical/electrical mindset. If these assumptions are...

Thats great news, Bob. You have got to be encouraged by that! Re the helmet, I never venture out without one. No good if you get a whack from a juggernaut, but could be a lifesaver in many lesser situations. No brainer as far as I'm concerned, though some will have a different viewpoint...

Pedelecs not Politics, please. I'm becoming fed up with the way so many of these threads become bogged down with increasingly vitriolic political arguments. Wisper posted a very informative thread explaining their new facility and it has been debased by this wrangling. Can we confine...

Most crank extractors are supplied with a fitted smaller push plate, and a larger plate which can be slipped over the smaller one for a bigger opening.

I have a 905 with the rack battery, and I guess your arrangement is similar. If you invert the bike (taking care not to damage the handlebar display) and undo the two recessed screws holding the controller compartment cover on you will have all the access you need to the innards of the battery...

Thanks for the feedback on the Dooback. Useful to know. Zefal stuff seems to be very well made, and is very tactile! I love the fact that the Cyclops is so discrete in terms of size, but can appreciate that the Doo back will give you a wider range of vision. If I rode in very urbanised areas...

Hi Tezzer. I'm now approaching 2000 miles on the bike, and the noise has disappeared! What it was I have no idea, but, thankfully, it never affected the performance of the bike. Like most cyclists I'm a born fiddler, and over the past 12 months I have experimented with a variety of different...
