    Shout Out for Plush Hill Cycles, Telford

    Something fishy about this all, just doesn't add up... couldn't change to lower gear couldn't air pedal couldn't fix chain with chain breaker tool & quicklink (forfeiting a few mangled links and running shorter chain on smaller cog) couldn't quickly reprogram display for throttle and then...

    Shout Out for Plush Hill Cycles, Telford

    Ah well, £24 for a new chain, can't complain, you've probably saved that and some by not buying any chain oil, grease or muc-off for the last 20 years lol

    Just check the steerer is long enough for your bike head tube, and it's unthreaded and whether tapered or straight (match with existing fork on bike)...some forks use post mount disc caliper mount or older style IS mount ( you can get adapters) . Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs...

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Just to update, turns out the chain suck was down to a worn chainwheel. New one fitted today ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364294336249?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0fqwmqzxtxi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Dst78JQnToG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY ) and all is smooth and quiet.

    Help! Question for Bafang 850C dispaly owners.

    I did the same, but I found that even after charging for a few days, after a week or two the clock was out. I guess like all rechargeable batteries, they get to a point where the amount of charge they can hold diminishes. I did read on some forum where someone had soldered on a new battery onto...

    Buzzbike - Fubar fork

    I'd take some photos and email CRC asking for some part refund. It's in their interests to do so as it'll cost them to have the bike returned and then they'll have to get the bike returned to the supplier etc. If they agree you can get yourself a cheap fork replacement ( for example something...

    Battery drains fast!

    if you are displaying watts being used at any one time on the display, then depending on what assist level you are in and how much (or little) effort you are putting in, if the display is showing you are using, say about 300w when it's assisting you, and you travel 15 miles in one hour, you are...

    I think the way to look at any very cheap bike deal like this is as you are getting it at rock bottom price, if it doesn't work out for you, then the resale is going to be not far off what you are paying for it, even 1 or 2 years down the line. I found this with my 1st gen Carrera Crossfire-e...
