I put a deposit down. Who else?

It's a standard BSA/Shimano type BB. That piece will come out when the tool arrives on Thursday.

It's better to not order anything until after you've discovered the fault.

Unfortunately, You have to remove it to get a crank-drive in.

That reminds me of some experience I had with Voice Attack for gaming. It allows you to use your voice to initiate complicated multiple key-stroke commands and macros. I was hunting down a notorious pirate, who was extremely difficult to find. After hours of searching, I found him leaving a...

Torque simulation is current control, where each selected level gives a different current (power). The alternative setting is speed control, where each selected level gives maximum current with a different speed limit, which is horrible, so that's an easy setting. Zero start means that the...

This is the situation for most Chinese bikes. I'd need to see your wiring to confirm that it's the same for yours: The LCD works independently from the controller, though when you operate the switch to switch on the LCD, the LCD then switches on the power to the controller. In other words, the...

As I said, that's how I got the last one off a couple of weeks ago.

Don't worry, it's going to be super in about a week when I get the tool and the new gears and brakes.

That's very kind of you. I had thought you wanted to see me suffer.

Thanks everybody for ideas. I think some of those things are OK if you're scared to drill. personally, I wouldn't be happy to have a 3.5kg battery held on by any of those bodge methods. 20 mins work and two 5 pence rivnuts got me this. Now I have three strong rivnuts to fix the battery base to:

Thanks for sharing. Every video becomes a bit better regarding the presentation. In that respect, the only niggle was the bell, which sounded like it wasn't adjusted right, so it didn't ring properly. It sounded bad, and you said it was really good. One thing I do need to say though is that the...

Does it come with pedals, or are they extra?

My plan is that tool and a bit of heat. If it doesn't work, I'll weld a 3 foot bar to it directly. If that doesn't work, it'll be chucked in a skip.

When current passes through a battery, it heats up due to the internal resistance and in proportion to the square of the current. In other words, the heat produced at 20A is 100 times the heat produced at 2A. When you're riding the bike, the battery is in a stream of air that aids cooling, and...

I tried all that and what Sturmey said, with a lot of help from Thor's 1.6kg lump hammer. If it would be that easy, it would be done. If you remember, the last Argos folder I did had the same problem, and I successfully got it off using those methods. It's extremely difficult to hold a stilson...

Hmmmm! That's a difficult decision - £15 for a not very secure solution or 10 pence for a very secure one. Let me think!

Yes, it's the same as any bike as long as you can get that piece off. There's also a chance that you can fit it to the left side if there's enough gap between the pedal arm and the BB. In that case all you need to remove is the locking, but you'd need to fix the sensor to the other side of its...

Who's we? My phone has a 4500mAh battery and I charge it at 500mA. It's been going for about 5 years so far and still seems to last as long as it did when new - about 3 days.

I don't seem to be having much luck these days. Every small task ends up big. I did a trial fit of the battery. The middle screw hole is about 3mm out. I thought I'd be able to use it if I removed a couple of mm from the end of the base, which got the base on, but when I put the battery on, it...
