    Which app do you use to record your ride?

    I use "My Legs". It is a system that I have used for many, many years and is 100% accurate. When I wake in the morning and my legs do not hurt, "My Legs" tell me that I put in an easy easy ride the day before. If they hurt "My Legs" tell me that I had a hard ride. If I can't get out of bed "My...

    Which bikes to buy - a real nightmare - here are my experiences part 1

    If everyone in the UK bought a bike from a foreign supplier, there soon would be no UK dealers to take your bargain buy to to have it serviced or repaired. People that buy from outside the UK are doing so on the backs of the customers that purchase locally and support their shops. People that...

    Hard9 or Hard7

    Beside the difference in price, riding a hard 9 and a hard 7 (of same frame size) is not that different. Both have the same great 400w yamaha drive system but the hard 9 is slightly taller because of the 29" wheels as opposed to the hard 7's 27.5" wheels. However there are differences that...

    GPS trackers for bikes

    It requires a pay as you go simm card. I wonder how much that is a month to run. On top of the cost for the tracker, insurance and a good lock my be a better option.

    A ride along the towpath, but what if..

    About a year ago a sobbing, dripping wet young lady pushed her ebike into the shop equally dripping. She had been knocked into the canal by a dog walker. I removed the controller and dashboard, then split the battery case. I placed them all and the bike next to the heater and left them for two...

    Climbing and overheating

    At high assist your motor is tying to spin at a rate equivalent to 15mph. If you are in low gear, pedaling at 80rpm and maintaining 9 to 10mph I do not believe you are doing any harm to your motor or system. Most modern ebikes are built for this kind of use.

    Climbing and overheating

    This reply may be a bit smplistic but if your motor is laboring under the strain of a hill climb, you need to put more rider input (drop into lower gears and pedal harder/faster) into it. Continuously putting strain on your motor, that it can not handle, could damage your system. Not knowing...

    puncture... Haibike xduro trekking

    It could be luck or it could be your bike came with a sealant like Slime in the tubes. Your tires have a minimum and maximum inflation guide on the side wall, probably 35psi min, 55psi max. Regardless, if you have not checked in ten months I would check them and soon to avoid a pinch puncture...

    And the kitchen sink

    This is not out of the question as there is a video on youtube showing how to replace a broken chain with one to get you to help. Going to see if I can find it.

    Drink drive

    I am no expert in that subject. However, I do believe that a cyclist must obey the rules of the road. If a cyclist, possessing a drivers license, is caught on the road over the legal limit it only makes sense they would be charged. A drunken cyclist is as much of a danger to themselves and...

    Looking for a folding ebike to do 26 miles per day.

    The Freego folder is a ruggedly built folder that can go 50 miles with the 16ah battery option. It would cost £1,099 with the 16ah battery and £899 with the 10ah. The 10ah would give you a 30 mile range. I would pick a folder with at least a 12ah+ battery to cover that kind of distance. Range...

    Chain ring fitting, Haibike Yamaha 2015

    Hardhines already have a 10spd rear cassette and the hub is metallic blue not black like a hardseven. A hardnine has a duel chainring not a single. Post some more pictures.
