    Help! Question for Bafang 850C dispaly owners.

    Yep same here, there's an internal small rechargeable battery, similar to a PC CMOS battery. They can be replaced if you can find the right one and have the soldering skills. Leaving the display to allways on setting will ensure it keeps the time, but will of course drain the ebike battery a...

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Yep, bonus points to Sturmey, it's the narrow/wide lekkie copy offset 42t alloy chainring from Aliexpress (about 30 quid)

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Yep, all recovered now thanks, but a couple of weeks off work in bed and a few months physio on and off at the time. Damp solid chalk rutted farm tracks at 20mph on knobbly tyres is not a healthy combination, beware kids !

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Hi all, quick update, I tried a chain with one less link, no good, way too tight, so chain length is correct, 114 links, as originally worked out using calculator and same length as old chain. I suspect it's a combination of new chain and existing chainwheel causing the chain suck. I think I'm...

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Hoping to get back on it tomorrow removing a link. I've got a brand new Bafang kit 44t chainwheel still in the box to test if needed. Might even switch back to that as don't need the lower geared 42t so much now I've given up the off road use of the bike in the last year (big off resulting in 3...

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Thanks all, some great suggestions and advice ! In the video, I was in 3rd or 4th gear, it's less noticeable in 1st gear if I remember rightly. Chain suck, of course, knowing the right term for the issue helps a lot (cheers @saneagle ), I can see that now from the video, the chainring is...

    Chain flapping noise after new drivetrain installed - Any ideas?

    Hello all, I've replaced my chain, cassette and derailleur today and am now experiencing a chain flapping noise when riding. I checked the chain length using a calculator (114 links). My chain is a KMC x9 114 links, the new cassette is a SunRace 11-40t 9 speed and the new derailleur is a...

    Cheapish Motor Wheels

    I think there's a place for both - Woosh for full support/aftersales/warranty etc and Aliexpress/Poland/Germany for those who want to take their chances and save money. You can't blame savvy savers with technical skills wanting to buy the same Bafang/Tongsheng sealed brown box for £150 less...

    How do you deal with a puncture/breakdown when out?

    A gaadi tube, tyre levers and a pump (or co2 canister pump) is all you need and a penknife (if you want to cut away and sacrifice the punctured tube, otherwise just pull it out and wrap around frame/stay/forks for repairing at home) Just make sure you run your finger inside the tyre to check...

    Remember I am UK based so NO US makes or outlets please

    Yes, sometimes I do get a bit muddy. Luckily for me I have a washing machine and a shower, and a hose to wash my bike. I don't combine a muddy bike ride with a trip to the shops, don't think I'd fit a weeks groceries in the pannier bag. And shops are boring, unlike muddy bike rides
