    Someone to cycle with.

    Not quite your area but reasonably local (for the next few weeks anyway) if you want to meet up and go for a ride I can do that more or less anytime in the next 2 weeks.

    Projects nearly finished

    The saddles on all of them look very low to me!

    Lightweights Pfft!

    Usually able to get through them by standing the bike on the back wheel, it can be a bit of a pain but usually with a bit of manoeuvring it's possible.

    Brand new Haibike, two broken chains in first 35 miles, and other problems, advice needed

    I wasn't thinking so much of you, just some of the replies in general. The issues you are talking about here are usually simple set up or maintenance issues, i.e. cables sticking or just in need other adjustment. If that is not the case then something has been damaged, bent mech or mech hanger...

    Brand new Haibike, two broken chains in first 35 miles, and other problems, advice needed

    The only chain I have ever snapped in riding over 5k miles/ year for the last 10 years or so was when a bike shop helpfully shortened the chain during a free first service! It was the only time a bike shop has done any work on any of my bikes and I only took it back for the first service because...

    Options for transporting ebike by car

    I've never actually had the Haibike on the Corsa, just noticed the weight sticker when I put my MTB on to bring it back to the UK last weekend. Whilst I agree the battery should be removed you do need to ensure that the terminals are well protected and waterproofed, having just cleaned the MTB...

    Options for transporting ebike by car

    I have 2 options, if I am using the TT I can transport the Haibike in the back no problem ( apart from removing seat, wheel, forks, handlebars, pedals, chain and the rear mech ) with the rear seats up or if I am using the Corsa it has the flex fit bike carrier built in. That will take 2 bikes...

    Hub gears for my bike

    Surely it moves away from the wheel into (beyond if stops not set) top gear!

    How long should a chain last on a E-MTB

    It's not just top gear that is worn in that photo, all of the sprockets have a burr on them. Wear shows more on the smaller tooth counts as contact with a stretched chain is more frequent. I found with the standard gearing on an Sduro I was frequently in the top 3 gears (unrestricted) while...

    Haibike Hard Seven-Has Anybody Fitted Double Chainring ?

    Yes I have done a conversion on a 2016 Hardseven, easy enough to do if you need the gearing. I'm living in the Alps part time and certainly find the extra low gears mean I can give more of my input when climbing and particularly when off road on tight technical climbs it is easier to pick your...

    Haibike cassette replacement

    It depends on the quality of the parts used, I had some parts so didn't need to buy everything. You need a direct mount front derailleur a left hand gear changer (these 2 parts can be found second hand on ebay) a cable and 2 9 or 10 speed chainrings.

    Haibike cassette replacement

    Or convert it to 20 speed if you need the low gears. I have a 2016 which I have fitted with a 34/44 front sprocket combo and have done a couple of thousand km with no problems in the Alps. I rarely use top gear with this setup so wear on the 11t sprocket is not an issue.

    8-FUN BBS01 Crank kit on Boardman MTB PRO 29er

    If you use one of these with a direct mount front mech you should be able to get the reach that you want. http://problemsolversbike.com/products/direct_mount_front_derailleur_adapter/

    Air compressor

    Don't think that will do what you want as it doesn't seem to have a tank. The usual method of use for a small compressor is to let tank pressure build to just below cut off then start using it, as pressure drops pause and repeat.

    haibike tyre

    I was given a pair of DHFs over the summer, the grip is unbelievable off road but they are hard work up the hills (I am constantly looking for more range so low rolling resistance is good. I have in the past used High roller and Ardent as winter tyres on an unpowered bike and may try this combo...
