    Pedestrian filmed pushing cyclist off her bike

    Funny as hell. Wonder how many people get wound up by this video before the end. I admittedly replayed the van going past bit and was thinking that he really wasn't that close lol. These guys should remake Blair Witch :D

    Pedestrian filmed pushing cyclist off her bike

    Paul Kitson from the CTC, a cycling charity, and a solicitor with law firm Slater and Gordon, told The Guardian that while the video was "shocking" it was not an "isolated incident". He said: “In my experience as a cycle injury lawyer I have come across examples of cyclists being deliberately...

    Apologies for my ignorance, will that require removing the cluster, or can I squeeze some grease in the mechanism without removal?

    Servicing a rear wheel?

    My rear wheel has become a bit noisy lately, when spinning it on the bike stand. It makes a sound like you get when two metal cogs are rotating together. It's not particularly loud and there's no free play in the wheel to indicate wear. It makes the noise when spinning the wheel without the...

    Ebay seller ' Electric Bike Conversions ' seem to be doing well :)

    Totally agree. A link to the current EAPC regulations on each listing, would allow customers to make an informed choice.

    Not another legal debate... but :)

    I don't want this thread to turn into another legal / illegal debate, but I was wondering how on earth the government came up with the figure 15.5mph. '' The electric motor shouldn’t be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph '' Now I could understand rounding it up or...

    About to buy BBS02 750w kit

    and you bought the most powerful Bafang because.... :D Best bet is to get a programming cable and tame the levels right down to something you're happy with. An established member over on Endless Sphere recommends to change the limit speed to 100% in all levels and change the limit current in...

    Can electrifying a bike be this easy?

    They do drag very slightly when pedaling, due to the fact that you are turning the large cog and smaller cog when doing so. You don't end up turning the motor though, as it has a one way clutch/bearing at the other end of the small cog, where a nylon cog connects to the motor drive spindle.

    Threaded headset slightly sticky in straight ahead... Replace?

    Ha ha, it always pays to look :oops: The size was stamped on the existing headset - 1 1/8". Anyway, I took the stem off and undid the two nuts. Sealed bearings my arse! The top and bottom caged bearings were caked in gritty grease, where my dusty forest rides had obviously taken their toll...
