You can do that - just be mindful of the chain line https://www.parktool.com/en-int/blog/repair-help/chainline-concepts When I setup I know that I am more likely to be at the bottom end of the rear sprocket so I look for my chain line to reflect that (aka space the front sprocket out from the...

Hey hey - something like https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/products/kmc-bosch-gen-3-44t-chainring-3mm-offset might fit.. Mine did hit the frame while mountain biking (bottoming out on a log roll) so I've switched it back for 'pure' MTB. Worked great as a commuter though!

Cheers @Bearing Man - been out and about and no issues so far.

Paging @Bearing Man for his view on the runout of the motor...

Hi all - managed to smack up my chain ring rather well on my Cube Acid at the weekend. Pre-pandemic I'd set it up perfectly for commuting and had replaced the 38T with a 46T which matched my leg power and just took me outside of the 15mph band, however over the last year I've been thrashing it...

I'm looking at your bike https://www.specializedconceptstore.co.uk/product/11255/2018-women-s-diverge-e5-comp/ and it seems to be through-axle design so I think its going to be unlikely.. your options would be to get a clunker to pair with the Swytch and trailer and save your Specialized or to...

Blimey @Hixyhicks - glad to hear that you are ok (relatively speaking..)

Gonna throw this up there as I *think* that my Cube (Bosch) has a similar noise..

Love the finish, bike looks ok but I'd be hard-pressed to justify £4k on a bike let alone some of the bikes he wants to emulate.... Interesting watch though and the follow-up video shows it being spanked a bit with no frame cracking..

Gahh!!!!!! I just ordered my daughter a new helmet as she took a spill on her bike while out mountain biking in the forest. Cheapest was Holland Bike Shop which worked out to be about £142 plus shipping... back of my mind was "thats under £150 so it will be fine.." Just been landed with a...

Well done fella! If you keep it up then you will find that (due to a high starting weight) that your weight will drop like a proverbial stone... this will put less stress on the components and your knees ;-P Keep your legs spinning; a small amount of input from you will reduce the load on the...

Big fan of Fabric seats - https://fabric.cc/products/saddles/cell-elite-radius-155mm-saddle/ is what I have fitted and its dead comfy. Agree with @sjpt that getting your bike position right is probably going to be the biggest (and cheapest) improvement you can make ;-)
