The most interesting thing that's happened during the UCI nonsense (the BMX was worth a watch though). I feel sorry for the ebiker that ended up in the Clyde, too many pr1cks in lycra, I don't really get competitive cycling, most are cheats (or need a dump...)? Will be glad when they've...

My rear hub has stated to make a kind of random clicking noise, I've not been able to identify where it's coming from yet and am a little concerned and want to understand what it is and fix it before taking bike out again. You can hear it in first few secs of this video, anyone any ideas...

We had a cracking storm here yesterday afternoon (Glasgow, UK), that passed directly overhead, flash flooding everywhere. Was a little annoyed by the timing as was supposed to be meeting a mate for some pool and beer so was taking bike not car. However I don't have mudguards on the bike so did...

You would assume this was progress, it's not, the 'lanes' they built in past few years are neglected and dangerous and quite often end in the middle of fuckin' nowhere... So, yeah, lets build some more! @rseholes https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow-city-council-accepts-8-27131717

Here we go again... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65850704

I have decided that for longer rides I'd like USB charging on my ebike, no socket on my battery. Battery is a 52V 17.5Ah LG 14S6P so it has plenty of juice. Whilst I am reasonably competent with electronics and soldering I don't want to mess with the battery or controller or display to take a...

Considering the number of dodgy ebike conversions operating where I live (100s if not 1000s), I saw first one pulled by the cops. Given I was on my 'conversion' I stayed well clear however looks like it could be a 250W motor, wondering if they did him for the red light. They kept him there for...

I post this in hope it may help another relative noob to tidy up ebike cabling, mine was a dogs dinner for ages and I see a few about too. Built this ebike approx 1 yr yr ago, it's a kit, a 1500W rear hub with a 17.5A continuous (35A peak) controller and LG 52V 17.5Ah Hailong. The bag that...

After some looking around I got this from Santa last year, finally got around to fitting it. It's this model or identical: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B095JNTRZ3/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=&psc=1 Quite impressed with the packaging, OKish instructions, mini screwdriver and plastic...

My son turned 14 last week, over the weekend we both cycled, got train then more cycling to visit his grand parents and I was explaining what an ebike is to them (both in 80s...). Anyway got a call tonight from them and they asked if he's like an ebike for Christmas, initial thoughts were no...
