    Chain ring fitting, Haibike Yamaha 2015

    Sounds like you are trying to modify a hardseven not a hardnine.

    Wobbly wheels

    Take advantage of your six week service. Going at them yourself may void that part of your warranty.

    break discs and how they suck.

    I certainly am not discounting your experience with brakes. However my experience has been just the opposite. My non electric 2010 model trekking bike has over 1500 miles on it and still has the original pads. I adjusted the brakes at three months and never touched them again until about the...

    break discs and how they suck.

    Mechanical disc brakes, properly adjusted and free from contamination, are better in many ways to caliper and v brakes. Properly set up caliper and v brakes can have excellent stopping power but wear out quicker, require more frequent adjustment and are not as good in the wet or muddy...

    Struggling to choose

    I have been finding quality control inspection check sheets in boxed Chinese bikes lately. It made me smile the first time I saw one as this told me they were improving. I did not mention in my previous reply to your post is that there is also a higher emphasis being put on internal audits and...

    Struggling to choose

    Yes it did with a high emphasis put on a document control system and training recertification to back up quality, safety, production and environmental controls. This greatly improved the systems you refer to. Companies that are embracing this type of manufacturing approach are reaping the...

    Struggling to choose

    I could not agree more. I was a quality technician for a major manufacturer. We worked to strict ISO9000 and ISO14001 standards and produced products know world wide for high quality. I am always pleased with the consistant high quality and build standards of the Bosch and Yamaha powered...

    New bike thread.

    A real beauty bud. I had one years ago. This looks like it is great shape. Not the original brake levers are they?

    Crank arms question

    Excellent explanations about the transfer of power and torque whilst pedaling. Where else are you going to go to find information like this. Well done guys. Having all that has been said, I have another take on the OP's question. When I first started repairing bikes I had the same question. So...

    How many bike can you get via cycle scheme?

    As it is your employer that administers the scheme, they are the one to ask. All a bike shop does is provide the bike.

    Wanted. Haibike fs/rx right crank pedal arm

    Did you try contacting the seller for a replacement part? Contacting Raleigh directly might produce some results as well.

    Saved by Slime

    I expanded you picture to have a better look and WOW! is an understatement. Slime has indeed done its job. You should sell that to the Slime brand for advertising purposes. However to answer your question, I am amazed that the Slime healed those holes. They look like glass cuts more so than...

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven or Trekking

    I can only surmise the reason why they want the old motor. One could be that they want it for testing to find the cause of failure as they offer a great warranty and want to offer trouble fee products. The other reason, I suspect, is that if you had to pay for a motor without a return, you'd pay...

    Anybody use bike rack on their car ?

    A tow ball mounted rack is ideal. A strap on will be better on a hatch but it should be the 6 strap type. If you go for a strap on rack pick a two bike model if you are only going to carry one ebike. Pick a three bike model if carrying two. My former non electric commuter bike weighed just under...

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven or Trekking

    Of all of the posters that have given their input, advice and discussion to this topic, only one "dealer" responded. That dealer made no attempt to sell you a bike or even give you the answer to your original question. Yes I am in the business. I have not said you should or should not buy a...

    Viking e-go-hopper shopper for sale in the next week or so.

    I see that it has the anti gravity feature that is so desirable for riding under over passes and ceilings. Only kidding, only kidding. Should make someone a great bike at that price.

    Two wheel invalid carriages again

    I had been reading the original thread this one refers to and basicly agreed with all the replies to the OP. I did not reply as what comes from nothing means nothing. I hope that nothing keeps their nothing to themselves in the future as this is nothing's second attempt at nothing.
