    Shimano casette with ball bearings!

    If you have the top of the free wheel removed you can put the remaining section in a vice and remove it by turning the rim counter clockwise. Then replace it with a new one.

    Shimano casette with ball bearings!

    You took apart a freewheel. A freewheel spins onto the hub and contains two sets of bearing and spring loaded fingers that ratchet into the gear cluster. A freewheel comes off of the hub in one piece by using a toothed tool and a large wrech or the tool held in a vice. A cassette is a cluster...

    Haibike sDuro Hard Seven

    I have test ridden quite a few of the xduro, sduro and Raleigh crank drives. I must admit that the Hard Seven is probably the best value for money out of the lot. However the spec offered in the models above it is also worth going for if your budget allows. You'll only wind up wanting to upgrade...

    New owner of a Haibike xDuro FullSeven RC

    I will finally have enough in the piggy bank for the Sduro Full Nine in June. Can't wait. The Xduro is a very, very good bike but a bit more expensive. I would have one of those but it would be September and I am not that patient. Have fun!

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Yes, I am angry with drivers. You are right, I have made no attempt to hide that fact. But OMG! Did you not read, in my last post, why I might be justified to feel angry and upset. Did you not read I was just sitting there paying my respect to the deceased and mourners only to be almost run over...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Well I can not say I am suprised by the flippantcy of this reply. I would have happily gotten out ofthe way. However, if you would have read my post with a bit more focus on what I wrote instead of being so quick to invoke ridicule you would have read that I only had time to drop my helmet. It...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    I am like yourself. I will and have banged on a car, truck and van more than once in my years of cycling. There are other posters here that manage to place themselves in a zen like trance whilst cycling that helps them ignore the idiots in cars around them. I am sure it will make their injuries...

    Hi, I found your website after searching how to fix problem on Viking E-Go

    Couple of things to check. Look at your crank axle and locate the black disc and sensor. Make sure the disc does not have a wobble and that the sensor is within 5mm for the full 360 degree rotation. Check the motor plug to make sure it is properly connected. Keep hands off of the brake levers...

    Gadget Show tonight

    I had company last night while the show on. I did see that the the girl was indeed pedaling too hard because of the high gear selection. Even without the kits the two bike were mis matched as well. I got distracted in the segment where he was on a board with wheels and she was on a segway type...

    BH Emotion City Plus

    They have an 8 speed mech and good original (continentals) quality tyres that make for an excellent unpowered ride. The riding position is very comfortable and adjustable. A test ride will tell the tale.

    BH Emotion City Plus

    I had a look at the ad and I see it is being sold by a shop with a 14 days return policy. This a good thing :-)

    BH Emotion City Plus

    I have had a BH Emotion City 700 crossbar for almost two years now. I commute putting an averate of 60 miles a week on it. After 4,000 plus miles the battery and bike are still in very good condition. It is a crank drive, 8ah system that is rated for 60 miles range. In the real world I get...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Ok I get it, you do not like cameras and helmets. However your attitude, lack of positve action, and words did absolutely nothing to save those killed in 2013. Nor did help those killed and injured in 2014 or will it those this year and in the future. 20% fewer fatalites, are you having a good...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Could not agree more. Without video history to back up claims of dangerous driving and determining fault when death or injury occur, nothing will change. It saddens and shocks me to see courts hand out light slaps on the wrist to drivers that have used their cars as weapons. Many will counter...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Agreed and my wording about the police handing out the punishment is obviousy incorrect. Still, it seems that cyclist are treated by the authorities like some sort of second class citizen. If someone walked up behind some and struck them in the head with a cricket bat, they'd go to jail. Kill or...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    I am a camera user. I have recorded two particularly serious incidents of dangerous driving that could have ended very badly for myself. In both cases, 6 weeks apart on the same strech of road, they were committed by two different drivers from the same organization. I complained and submitted my...

    Electric bikes in the rain query

    I ride my BH 700 City in all kinds of weather. I have racked up over 3,000 miles, rain or shine, in the last 1 1/2 years. I have experienced no water damage. I know of other ebike riders, who commute daily, that have covered far greater distances with no issue. Parking your bike during the day...
