In any case, third gear has not proven to be too low for flattish roads until the last few days - not at all - particularly when using no more than assist level two.

Maybe it can, but......

By the way, this is no big deal - unless it gets worse, of course.

Actually, as far as I can recall, this has only happened on assist level two and in second or third gear.

In the period since this first happened in third gear, I have not used those gears.

Nothing thus far suggested matches the facts, I'm afraid. This will happen (to offer an example from today's outing) when using assist level two, halfway along a very gentle climb, in third gear, with no variation in pedalling rate.

One little thing to ask you about: Every now and then, on pedal assist, the motor of the Big Bear cuts out for a split second, then kicks straight back in. More often than not this happens twice within a very short time, then doesn't happen again for a long time. This never happens when using...

Well, while the forum was down, I read the 'quick manual' again and took another look at my bike. I could see that the disc was not particularly centred in the aperture meant for it in the brake mechanism. With some trepidation, I removed the caliper apparatus altogether. I found that there...

Okay, now that I've got the bike upside-down, I've been able to take those photos (such as they are). I've also been able to get a torch and have a preliminary look inside the 'doings'. On first inspection (and bearing in mind that my actual disc brake mechanism varies somewhat from the one...

These are the best I could manage:

Yet the link you posted above, to the 'quick manual', says: Mount bike in repair stand and remove the wheel.

Being unfamiliar with disc brakes (approaching 100% unfamiliar), I'd feel more confident removing someone's spleen than removing the pads. From what I've read, it is necessary to remove the wheel, which, on this bike, is a major operation in itself. I'll try getting some of those substances on...

I'll try to take photos in the morning. There appear to be some scratch marks on the disc itself, which probably explain the occasional grating sound I was hearing today, when applying the brake. Even on day one, the rear brake was more efficient than the disc. I'll give the alcohol a try...

Ah, I posted this in the Technical forum, before I noticed that this forum existed: I've never had a bike with a disc brake before, so I know nothing about them or what to expect from them. I do know that the mechanical (non-hydraulic) disc brake on the front wheel of my new Woosh Big Bear is...

I've never had a bike with a disc brake before, so I know nothing about them or what to expect from them. I do know that the mechanical (non-hydraulic) disc brake on the front wheel of my new Woosh Big Bear is far, far less efficient than the regular V brake type on the rear wheel. Indeed, when...

Does anybody know if it is possible to buy stronger springs for these things?

Ah, having thought about it, I expect that the amount of travel would be the same?

Yes, guilt has already taught me that trick. I've also hidden the battery from view with panniers, but that great big motor on the front wheel is going to require more esoteric deception.

Ah, thanks for that. Presumably, turning clockwise will compress the spring somewhat in advance of my backside inconveniencing it? I assume that there would then be less give in the spring, but less travel for the saddle to make?

Hello there. The seatpost is adjustable by use of an allen key at the base. I just don't know what it adjusts. Does anybody know please?
