Quite some years ago I was getting out of my car at my local supermarket. right in front of me I saw two ladies walking towards the store, there was a metal frame like an inverted U with a disabled parking sign across it, the lower edge was about 4 foot off the ground. One lady walked to the...

Thanks for your input, I posted on here because I’m after a second hand bike, not new. I got my current bike from Pitsford and I use to work overlooking the reservoir and could see the shop from my window. The shop is only click and collect online purchases, pre booked workshop time and no...

yes Thanks for your concern but I’ve been e-biking for 13 years and know how much they cost new and what I’ve sold them for second hand. As to budget, lets see what’s offered.

Hi folks, I’m in Northampton and looking for a bike for my sister, ideally with a mid drive torque motor. Some superfluous history :rolleyes: I’ve been cycling for years and added e-biking about 13 years ago. starting last summer my sister has been joining me on my shorter rides (up to 10...

What lockdown! At least every other day I’m either out on my bike for exercise or out in my car as a career. I’m seeing an awful lot of cars especially around town and I don’t think they are all essential journeys o_O at least the country roads are quieter ;) and Sainsbury’s is dead at 7:30...

Go for it, what could possibly go wrong! Once you’re mastered that you could buy a tube bender and before you know it you’ll be building your own frames;)

I’d ordered a new model Cube and it was due Jan 2018, several Manufacturing delays and the bike finally arrived 6 months later ( the model, size and colour that I ordered was the last on the production line) Im enjoying the bike today but looking back, I wish I’d canceled the order and found a...

Obviously, I had a hell of a job finding the receipt for the last bike I sold after 3 years of ownership (I found it in the end). When the bike is second or even third hand the paper work isn’t always available. Good will and a 100% seller isn’t a guarantee that someone else hasn't been duped.

if I buy a second hand bike (Bosch) and it needs to go back to a dealer for any reason, would the dealer know if it’s stolen when it’s plugged into the diagnostics? I don’t want to buy a stolen bike but you can’t be 100% sure My reasons for asking. A Victoria eUrban 11.8 E-Bike has been advised...

I’ve never heard of this and I’m now on my second Bosch powered bike (the first was 7 or 8 years ago) I take the battery off the bike after every ride but when I’ve left the bike unattended the system turns itself off after a few minutes anyhow. Both my present and previous Bosch battery's...

Alternatively a sheet of bubble wrap across your chest, it’s been a recent revelation for me. Up until a week ago I’d be wearing a long sleeved thermal base layer, sports t-shirt with a fleece front panel, soft shell jacket with extra material over the chest and to finish off a light wind proof...

I believe the Crossfuse is still has the Bosch ALP (active line plus) motor. my Cube has the same ALP motor, I’ve never had a problem with it and I’ve do in excesses of 3000. miles

I’ve got one of those in my attic, unfortunately the leather has shrunk a lot and it has a bullet hole in it :eek:(i can thank my grandad for that;)) apart from that it’s fine :D

I’ve picked up a little lay knowledge over the years, I’ve found the ally used in bike frames is quite hard and not very ductile while the filler rod used for welding it seams to be softer and more ductile, probably because it needs to melt at a lower temperature than the ally it’s joining. any...

if that’s the case, this season I’ll mostly be wearing stilettos :p;)

A few too many years ago a mate of mine had a remotely located garage, One morning he found his the door bent like the op’s, that afternoon I fitted two hasps and staples to the concert floor and the steel door, one at the bottom of each corner. A few weeks of feeling comfortable passed and...

having read all through this thread I’d forgotten what the original topic was and I’m sure the OP got more than he’d bargained for. I came to the conclusion that talking a lot doesn’t make you right ;) as to opinions, I’ll not give mine, as my father used to say “opinions are like...

You can buy missing links individually, I’ve never had a problem with them. here’s one of many sellers https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PAIRS-KMC-6-7-8-9-10-Speed-Missing-Link-Quick-Link-Chain-Link-Join-Link/123292354016?hash=item1cb4cc05e0:g:HwEAAOSwxNxbZtpK

OP surly you knew what you were buying before you brought it ? and now it’s not good enough. it sounds like you need an S class bike and keep to the roads. I’m not saying that you’re going to race along shared paths at 20mph but the law says a peddle can use them, as soon as the law changes...
