    Freego folder. Any good ?

    I am not familiar with the Volt. However, the newest version of the Freego Folder and its price are impressive. Backed up by a great warrenty it should be a good choice.

    Shaft Drive

    This is very well worded double speak from a company that wants to sell its product. Most of what they say is true but when the actual, real time, side by side comparisons are made, the chain drive will win out with performance figures using the same final drive. It is true that the shaft drive...

    Shaft Drive

    One of the draw backs with shaft drive is the loss of power delivered through the drive train. Everytime a power delivery system changes direction there is a loss of power. Chain or belt drive will always be more efficient.

    Haibike SDURO FullNine RX or SDURO AllMtn RC

    Having test ridden both systems, my personal preferance is the Yamaha. The Sduro comes in a 45cm frame that should be perfect for you even with the 29" wheels.

    Leicestershire ebike Virgin

    If you got the bike in a box and it was never checked, a simple gear adjustment may fix you up. There is an ebike shop in city center that sells and service Haibikes.

    Helmet camera recommendations please

    If you go to techmoan.com, he does very good independent reviews of both car and action cams. I purchased my cam after reading one of his reviews. It did everything he said it would. It was a TCL SVC200 that cost £100. There are many reviewed that are cheaper and more expensive. You get decide...

    yet another example of how dangerous cycling can be.m

    Not only is this a direct physical assault by the driver, it is also assault with a deadly weapon. It is very clear that the van drove deliberately into the cyclist. If the cyclist was a police officer on a bike, that certainly would be the charge. I do agree that the police should be able to...

    Do you think I need a new cassette?

    Like Mike says, 11 teeth is small. The actual numer of teeth engaged by the chain can be adjusted slightly. The single screw that rests against the dropout can be turned out to let the mech engage more of the gear with the chain. This however can affect the smoothness of your shifting.

    Do you think I need a new cassette?

    Put your bike in first gear and try to pull the chain away from the gear teeth. If you can see more than 1/8" of space under the chain, it could be worn out. Sorry to disagree Dave, but the 11t looks scalloped out and a new cassette may be in order.
