Its always good to track down the source. Sometimes it is innocuous but you never know. With the price of batteries you sure don't want one of them falling off!

Another spurious noise. I have just completed a total of 70 miles in three days commuting to work and back in glorious weather enjoying my summer xc tracks. However I have had a noise seeming to coming from the front end area of the bike that has been infuriating to track down. It sounded...

I always do the basic AA £39 deal where you claim £20 of boots vouchers. You always have to agree to an automatic renewal and remember to cancel it after you have got your vouchers.

Just charge the battery back up at the other end of your commute before the return trip.

I know what you mean Deere John I found a really nice trail tucked away behind an overhanging tree that I had been passing by for a couple of years none the wiser. Felt a bit of a fool when I eventually discovered it. I use it quite a lot now.

Your forensic cleaning ability is always deeply impressive and somewhat humbling for us mere mortals. Very impressive though. After having to have my first motor replaced under warranty at 6000 miles and wanting the second one to last as long as possible I am now a bit paranoid about the...

I doubt it will be rocket science but it would have been nice to have had the heads up. I had to recently open my Yamaha battery on my Haibike to replace a broken charging socket after my dealer told me that the suppliers did not offer any facility to repair it leaving me with the only option...

Hi Gringo, this looks a very interesting bike with the new active line Bosch motor. It will be interesting to get your experiences as an owner going forward. I have not experienced one myself but like the look of them and like the reports that they are a very quiet motor in operation. I also...

I have to agree Trevormonty. A dual battery delite with rohloff hub would make as good a long distance all terrain tourer that I can think of. I think the rear rack is an inspired bit of thinking to allow you to carry panniers in an elegant way on a full suspension bike and in so doing removing...

When I start work at Guildford instead of Farnham as I sometimes do I get to enjoy the towpath of the River Wey from Godalming and use my trusty 2011 Oxygen emate city rear hub bike. Towpath at Guildord end of River Wey Same view without bike View over River Wey and water meadows towards...

Noises on bikes are nearly always irritating and quite often hard to pin down. Good that you have got yours sorted.

My own slight issue is that you cannot review a bike in any meaningful way after 10 miles use. However that is easily solved if you keep posting as your total milage increases. Everyone after buying a bike will hope that it will turn out to be fantastic. I really like the look of the Delite...

Back to work today with a start time that allowed a lovely 14 mile off road ride to work. View from close to High Mill House towards the North Downs Way near Farnham. Then a 10 mile road ride home with some threatening dark clouds that thankfully did not produce any rain. Sadly start times...

Also check bolts on chainring are nipped up properly. My own motor was replaced under warranty at the two year point, but I had traveled 6000 miles. Mine was the main bearing and I could see play by applying pressure to the non chainring side crank arm and see corresponding movement in the...

To be honest Nealth there are surprisingly no handling or grip issues with the tyres worn as they are. I do actually more off road riding than on as my off road ride to work is around 12 to 18 miles and my road ride home 10 miles. I am inclined to buy a new tyre, wear the current rear one out...

The sidewalls look really good and so much tougher than the previous schwalbe tyres although it may be that schwalbe recognized the weakness in the smart sam plus design and may have re designed and strengthened it as the sidewalls now look similar to the marathon design that recieves very good...

Blimey Nev, I was only considering changing the rear tyre. I thought the front has years left in it!!!

I commute to work and back on a 2015 hardtail Yamaha powered sDuro Haibike. After a couple of rear wheel side wall failures using schwalbe smart sam plus tyres I changed to Specialized Crossroads Armadillo 650B 27.6” Wired Clincher Tyres in 1.9” width. I ride about 3000 miles a year with...

You might be right GLJoe. I was reacting to the companies rather pompous language. If it only happens only very occasionally and changing the fuse is easy and you carry the original battery with you so you can swap over if need be then carry on. Though usually fuses blow for a reason and it...

Hi doomo, I find their response a little disingenuous, you might want to point out that you only bought their battery to have an increased range and are still using the original battery that continues to work perfectly with no sign of a blown fuse or any other issue, rather pointing the finger...
