    Dahon jetstream front fork wobbling

    hello all, I've been trying to install the front fork from my dahon jetstream after a long while... it's a new fork that fits now. But I think I've lost some part and it seems there is a retainer or something that should prevent the fork to wobble. I attached the headset picture as it is, then...

    buy cheap dh front wheel

    Hello I finally brought back my kona stinky from France to London. ... But on the way.. I realised I brought the rear wheel instead of the front wheel. The front wheel has a specific thick axle through wheel. I have no idea about the name. It's something that looks like this...

    Can I put bigger tyre to slim rim?

    Yes it may fit with a slightly bigger tyre, but would that make it stronger or the opposite? because if it's the opposite it may be better to get the exact right 1.75 size? I'm now considering between these 2 tubes: Reinforced...

    Can I put bigger tyre to slim rim?

    Hello, I've noticed my rim has a 2 X 1.75 size, so ideally I should get something like this 1.75 size: https://www.bike24.de/1.php?content=8;navigation=1;product=65511;backlink=9|2||1000,2,103,106||||||||| But this size doesn't allow me to get these downhill thick tube...

    Freewheel to cassette conversion?

    But to maintain it, I would need a wrench right? The breaker bar is a sort of ratchet that doesn't let anything outside of it. And I'd still have the same problem when I'll try to remove the crank. such a pain too. Isn't there a better way?

    Freewheel to cassette conversion?

    Thanks guys for all these suggestion. It does feel that the simplest may be to get this 750mm breaker bar: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B002PMJ2LE/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr1_2?qid=1431028427&sr=8-2-fkmr1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=800+mm+breaker+bar And hopefully I should be able to remove it...

    Freewheel to cassette conversion?

    Could you advise on the right tool to use? My spanner usually flip over it and anyway I never have enough strength and leverage to move it. I was considering buying a leverage bar but it adds more clutter to my home and I don't know to what extent it's going to be useful

    Freewheel to cassette conversion?

    I haven't found any decent tool to remove it easily. I'm not a strong guy either and every time it was such a pain I gave up. I can't change all my motors to cassette it would be too expensive!

    Freewheel to cassette conversion?

    Hello, I've had experienced such a pain to remove freewheel once they are on the bike for a little while that I'd like to convert all my motors to cassette... Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have any simple solution for that... Would... to some extend, having a single speed conversion an...

    22 miles commute... which setup is best?

    I'm currently using this bike: Since I upgraded my battery from 500wh (48V10ah dolphin battery) to this 2000WH battery, I should have less stress in my journey as I won't have to worry about completely discharging the pack and I can go full throttle without fear. I have my Kona stinky in...

    2000wh battery bag, releasable, can be locked

    hello all, I've been banging my head for a long long time to get a decent amount of capacity on my bike. I've purchased 200 NCR18650PF, each cell has about 9-10wh capacity usable. I have cells bracket, but they take lots of space, I tried few configuration to see which one would work best...

    22 miles commute... which setup is best?

    Apparently for the type of distance I'm planning to do I have to count for at least £500 in petrol alone. I'm going to ask for precision but it seems that bicycle is was cheaper. I'd have loved to have an electric moped but I just can't have that... yet. maybe someday. So maybe best for now is...
