I am getting fed up with adjusting my Avid BB7 disc brakes. I set them just right, but within a few miles they are squeaking. Seriously thinking of fitting rim brakes.

You should try the Swansea Bay cycleway. Originally it was the bed of the Mumbles Railway but has now been tarred over and holiday makers think that it is the 'Promenade', despite a white line the whole length with the usual cycle and pedestrian markings. Walkers just do not seem to appreciate...

Totally agree.

Problem is that the wheel itself is as firm as ever. The skewer is to thick to stretch (although I see that avid mountain bikers change their skinny skewers to 15mm ones) and there is no sign of anything wrong at the acorn end. I have put a spot of paint on the acorn and also cable tied the...

As usual, the Great Sheldon Brown has the answer, https://www.sheldonbrown.com/skewers.html Apparently, they do come loose, particularly if they are the cheap plastic external kind

How did you do that? Did you buy new wheels or is there some way of replacing the skewer with nuts?

Never heard of this before, but twice in the last 4 weeks I have found my front wheel loose. I tightened up the nut and lever both times and am now keeping a watch on it. I am certain that the bike has not been tampered with, the rear wheel and saddle clamp are as firm as ever. Any ideas anyone?

First thing I would try is to make sure that the brake levers go right back when released. This was the cause of a similar problem that I had on my Tonaro

Well, I would be worried that the thing is going to catch fire. Could be a cell shorting, heating up and venting gas or liquid. Leave the battery outside, somewhere where it doesn't matter if it does burn.

I guess it's the old canard, the users think that they are not using them on a road so it's OK

I have seen a number of these on the Swansea Bay cycle path.

My guess is the rear cogs, particularly if you have an 11 tooth one

Being arthritic, it is always cadence sensor and throttle for me. Torque sensing would be absolutely useless. (I have tried a Bosch)

Both my TONARO Enduro and Woosh Gale have stand alone throttles. (there is no pedelec etc. on the TONARO, it is throttle only) They were made before 2016

I wonder if this quote is actually true. And with that the courier makes the most powerful point of all: Cars in Los Angeles are associated with unspeakably greater numbers of deaths, injuries, illnesses, and social problems like traffic and poverty than all the e-bikes in the world put together.

Pre 2016 bikes can have legal throttles, both mine have.

Oh dear, a solution in search of a problem. Why add complexity ( and cost and servicing and repair costs) to a simple bike? KISS

Surely this is a restraint of Trade and illegal under EU law?
