My cable runs under the frame (at that point) and is secured by a tie, there is also a bolt plugging that hole.

I have recently inceased the PSI of my tyres and am amazed at how easy the bike is to ride now...almost effortless and with higher speeds. The ride was more bumpy but I unlocked my suspension forks by one position which has solved the problem. I'm now a bit worried that I'll lose fitness and...

I had my Avid fitted today and the bike rides like a dream, no more wobbly front wheel and shuddery ineffective brakes....hurrahh!!! I want to open a bike accessories shop too, but one for fashionable cycling clothes...:D

I live in Bromley too and used to cycle regularly in the Keston area around the country lanes on my mountain bike, but some of the roads in the area are so busy with few to no paths alongside that I avoid the area completely now as its just too scary,

I'm having one fitted tomorrow :)

You must have a very different bike to mine, I could not stretch the frame at all and had to unbolt the motor side and lift out the wheel in order to remove the tyre, then on trying to replace the wheel the frame was very very tight, once i had unscrewed the rack i was able to prise open the...

Well I just saying it as it happened, if you have experienced something different then fair enough. edited to add that the tyre was not punctured, the original tube failed due to stress at the valve join which caused the valve to come away from the wall of the tubeas i was inflating it.

:::Update::: These inner tubes will split your tyre where they overlap!! I found this out when inflate the tube to around 40psi and ending up with a torn tyre. I have now been able to replace the tyre and tube after much blood, sweat and tears....literally, it took an hour and i cut my...

The thing is should a £1200 bike be fitted with cheap disc brakes that haven't been installed properly?

Ok, thanks Phill, I've booked the bike into Evans Cycles so hopefully they can correct the original installation.

OK, I'll work with my local bike shop to have the brakes adjusted properly and hopefully I wont have to keep adjusting them every 2 days. Just called them and they immediatley tried to sell me a new disk brake instead of fixing the problem....so I'm not going there again!!! ho humm.....

Yes its the 905se brakes, I had them adusted at my local bike shop (condor cycles) and the wheel has been wobbling ever since, so much so that the handle bars pull to one side on every wheel revolution. Does anyone know of the best possible sollution? should I take them back to the bike shop...

I dont mind wearing a helmet as I enjoy cycling and part of that enjoyment is staying safe and visible so that those pesky car drivers leave me alone..:D My cycle helmet is white, red and silver, plus i wear a high vis jacket. I guess if you wanted wear a helmet and still look cool you...

My disc brakes have never worked satisfactorily, needing adjusting every few days and now they are causing the front wheel to wobble. Is there a fix for this, and is it possible to remove the disc break and replace it with the old fashion style brakes?

Yes my stand seems a bit weak too and the bike seems a bit unstable on it. Is there any way to fix it or is it just a case of the stand not being strong enough for the weight of the bike?

This one was on the Australian website. http://wisper.com.au/web_images/PowerCorPushiesmanaulwisper905ese.pdf

Yes, the main reason I bought the Wisper was because of the manufacturers presence on these boards as I knew I could get up to date info and service queries dealt with efficiently. I knew nothing about electric bikes prior to browsing this website a week before my purchase, it was a big step...

I just bought one of these sausage shaped Sidewinder easy fit inner tubes from here Sidewinder Easy Fit Inner tube - for 24 and 26 inc I fitted it to the back wheel of my wisper and it took about 2 mins to fit...just been out on the bike and it seems normal to ride... Will report back...

Here are some instructions sent to me from Wisper To repair a tyre is exactly the same as any cycle tyre. On the rear wheel, turn the bike upside down carefully making sure that nothing on the handlebar gets broken and you dont damage the brake electrical connections. Loosen and take...

Well done, I love my Wisper too, and use it everyday for a 24 mile round commute. I really look forward to going to work on it in the morning and cycling home as its great fun, easy to use and by far the best form of transport I've ever used. I just wish everyone had one so there were no more...
