    Vickyglip new curious member

    Vicky, if your forks are air sprung, don't by any means, attach a normal bike pump to the valve. It will blast pressure back at you, probably resulting in a face full of fork oil, and no compression left in the chamber.. Use the bike pump on the inner tubes, if you do adjust the shock, buy a...

    Bosch Battery flew down the road

    Ian, Your battery will be fine, it will not have lost any capacity, it would have only broken a connection inside, but as its still working you will be fine. As for the click, the battery mount can be adjusted on the frame, take the battery out. Now use a T15 torx to undo the self...
