    I could have cried, not for EddiePJ

    Gubbins the correct reply should have been not to put the bike away either dirty or wet. :)

    I could have cried, not for EddiePJ

    You should think your self lucky. :) The following corrosion is an example of what begins to set in after leaving the bike for a couple of hours of riding in my neck of the woods. About a week ago, d8veh was suggesting to gubbins that putting a bike away dirty is fine. When I read the comment...

    Is it worth trying hybrid tyres.

    Could you have found a longer side stand. :D

    Bosch error code 500

    SW, apparently the OP in that thread wasn't exactly being crystal clear with things when the thread was posted. He forgot to mention the woodscrew that shorted a wire after he had tried to fix the Intuvia mount after a fall.

    Funny that you should mention that. I happened to mention Cube bikes to a cycle shop owning guy in Switzerland, and the response was very negative about the make. It wasn't the quality that he was venting frustration at, it was their internet marketing practice for Swiss and German buyers...

    Double pinion kit for bosch emtb

    By carrying out maintenance, I know the inside of the Shimano Deore XT system very well and also how to adjust it, but have not taken apart my SRAM X1 set up on the other bike yet. As far as I'm aware, the clutch is automatic. To quote SRAM. "ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™ rear derailleurs deliver...

    Christmas break - who's out and where?

    The knee issue has screwed my riding big time, and I've gone from roughly three night rides a week and one daylight ride a week, to no rides a week! I'm still going out for the Xmas day group ride whatever happens, as I'm certainly not going to miss that one. I expect that I might well even...

    Double pinion kit for bosch emtb

    Hi Ermurca. No problems at all. :) Removing the sprocket guard, and ensuring that clutch on the rear derailleur clutch is always engaged, has eliminated the issue. .

    That is a good observation. It doesn't look quite so exaggerated from this angle. The dropper post also looks different in these two shots when compared with D.Harris link.

    How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

    It is a bit too late now, but I was going to suggest that if buying a chest mount, go for a decent one. From my experience of owning a cheap one, the elastic stretches at the first opportunity, and you could end up constantly having to adjust it. I'm anti helmet mounted cameras, simply on the...

    Damian, I can only suggest that you try both, but owning a KTM Macina Lycan and a Macina Race, I'm clearly going to be biased towards the KTM option. There are dealers closer to you that stock KTM bikes, and a starting point would be to either contact FLI Distribution...
