    Yosepower hub kits.

    looks good, that's the 350w yosepower kit ? Like the that the battery is low down, and I bet it'll be pretty racey with those low bars, narrow tyres and no springy forks to slow you down/ Nice job, enjoy

    If I gave these tyres do o need slime?

    Have done 4000 miles on a pair of Schwalbe Energizer Pluses in 2 years, just the one puncture in that time. Just replaced them. I found they are low rolling resistance, and great grip in wet and dry, so I think they are a good compromise over Marathon Pluses which are bulletproof, but a hard...

    Halfords crossfire 2019 and torque sensor

    I think think the new bike uses an updated HESC rear motor (it looks slightly diffetrent) but the display and chainset looking at the pictures on the Halfords looks identical the 2nd gen version 2016-2018, and I don't think there is anyway to reduce the torque settings. Ths chainset sensor...

    Travel to Switzerland

    I've done the Ruhr a couple of years ago on a regular bike. Definitely recommend it,, the riverside cycle paths 'Radweg' are smooth and well signposted. I'm hoping to do the Mosel next

    Help! carrera crossfire ebike

    The display bracket broke on my crossfire-e and Halfords replaced it free of charge. You could try them to get you a price for the display bracket, it might be harder to get the battery lock holder, but I have seen one on ebay recently 2nd hand

    Carrera Vulcan E Spokes

    My experience with my crossfire-e is that they mostly break on the cassette side. I can thread the replacement spoke without removing the cassette (plastic chain spoke protector thing binned a long time ago) , as mentioned slight bend will straighten out when tensioned.

    Heads-up! 2019 Ebco centre-drive e-bikes £1099 (£500 off).

    I think you both nabbed a bargain, sub £1k after discounts, killer price. Looks like the large size is out of stock now

    New Crossfire

    Spec wise, it looks pretty much like for like as the old version, albeit with the new style battery and frame. Once they drop the RRP to £1k, plus add a xmas 20% off code, BC 10% discount, Gift card trick and Topcashback to bring it in at about £650 I might bite again lol

    Introducing the Woosh Faro

    For me that's the USP of this bike, and I'd promote it based on that. Is there some kind of battery switch between internal and external when both are fitted ? Presumably you'd use the standard HL battery mount, you'd need a waterproof cover for that when the external battery is not attached...

    Introducing the Woosh Faro

    I like it. The flat bars might be a bit low down for me, I'd of gone with a slight rise and sweep, or possibly an adjustable stem, but can be swapped out at low cost. Agree about the £6.99 ebay kickstand, I tried one, could never get it tight enough to stop it flopping down, shame you couldn't...

    First bicycle road accident tonight.

    Sorry to hear of this Nealh, but good to hear you escaped uninjured, which is the most important thing. Sounds like you are not dwelling on 'what could of happened' and have got back on the bike and about your business. The Audi driver was lucky he got such an understanding victim as yourself...
