Too trip to local bike shop yesterday, got chatting to a group of cyclists outside, who were giving my Woosh the once over, main comments I had were about the seat height I had it set at. They say I have it to low, and it not good for my knees. I have it set so on stopping I can comfortably sit...

What part of the handlebar diameter do you measure if your replacing them, is it the larger diameter area by the stem or the narrower section near brake leavers / grips etc

I'll I' ll give it a go when the weather improves, it;s fairly quick off the mark just using the throttle, i find the throttle a great help in pulling away at junctions etc, i just wish i had looked at Woosh bikes 12 months ago instead of buying that Kudos City, anyway that's over with now and...

New Avid brakes fitted, mudguards and rear rack, just got to move rear light to the rack. avid brakes a vast improvement on the old Zoom ones. lets hope the weather improves soon so i can get out more on it. Thanks to all who helped, and for showing some patience with me : )

Avid BB5's sets arrived this morning, took me about 45 mins to fit the front and rear along with new discs, fairly easy job, ok I could maybe have done it quicker, but took my time, double checking etc. Out for short test ride this afternoon...Wow what a difference to the previous Zooom brakes...

So is there a maintenance routine to avoid this ?. Slightly off the subject, I do remember a couple of motorcycles I owned, brake calipers seized solid, on bikes only a few years old, mind you this was 30 + years back.

Set of front and rear Just ordered through Ebay, and a rack for the back . No more spending on it now, with the brakes , rack and mudguards fitted i have a bike i like...for now LOL , no i really do like this bike and just wish i hadn't looked more at Woosh bikes before i bought the Ill fated...

Used to this changing bars on my old motor bike, used to spray hair laquer spray ( not mine ) into grips before refitting, set them solid after an hour or so.

In what way, most of the reviews are good for both 5's & 7's. They must be better than the awful Zoom discs I have now. I want to keep it mechanical, that way I keep the same levers and sensors. Yes Hydraulic are probably better, I think the mecanicals better for me, and easier to fit to front...

Thanks for all the advice, after much thought I think im going to stick with mechanical brakes, and buy either a pair of Avid BB5 or BB7 calipers from ebay, may get new discs if needed. I should the be able to keep the original Woosh levers with sensor cables. More than likely a Ebay purchase...

I have been looking at quite a lot of you Tube clips on fitting Hydraulic brakes tonight, don't get me wrong i do appreciate all the advice but it looks a bit fiddly to me and i would have to get the bleeding stuff as well. I know the Zoom brakes are very poor, and wonder if a pair of Avid...

I am not keen on them, there uncomfortable, but I do wear one, nagging from her indoors, being an ex motorcyclist, dangerous car drivers, all this and more tells me I need to wear it. Its a cheap Lidl one, so no trendy name on it, hope its never needed ;-)... No its not full faced, cant see me...

Ok.. I will just do the front brake, am i best to get to get a set which includes the brake disc as well, and are mounting holes standard on all forks and callipers.

Yes he did, just thought it best to fit the pair, I just looked at disc brake sets for e bikes, ouch..very expensive. Will look into maybe just one brake for now. Thanks

This looks a good option , not as expensive as I thought, and maybe within my capabilities. How would I go on with the sensor cables to the brake leavers, I would imagine I would still need to have the motor cut on braking.

Is there anyway i can improve the Zoom disc brakes on my recently purchased CD Sport, especially the front brake, i have adjusted them as in the Woosh instructions, but there still not to good, i'm not expecting Hydraulic performance, and understand there only very basic disc brakes, the old...

Just looking

No thanks ☺

I did try and contact mod, to delete the other thresd, my mistake sorry.

He wont be buying it, just looking, oh and if the Juicy Sport hadn't been stolen I would still have it making it two. That reminds me to get the new bike insured, and get a good bike lock.
