    VIDEO: my girlfriend destroys me uphill with e-bike

    Any video is improved by the addition of a pretty girl too...:)

    London Velodrome

    I've heard it said that Chris Hoy develops over 2000 watts of power from a start.:eek: Better have a good "off-road" mode on your 906...

    VIDEO: my girlfriend destroys me uphill with e-bike

    What i was going to ask too. And nice video. :D I guess your motor is exceeding 180w by a long long way.

    Lessspeed and i were reffering to the adjustable stem bolt, not pedals :)

    camcorder for helmet

    I do like the 7dayshop camera, it was a great buy for the money. It has two drawbacks though, the narrow angle means you miss quite a few things "going on around you" on the road and, its not at all waterproof so cant be used in the rain. I live in Manchester... it rains a lot! :rolleyes...

    Should also point out that Stealth Bikes are Australian.

    camcorder for helmet

    I spoke to Dogcamsport.co.uk today. Mark there was very helpful and had to tell me they have about 100 people pre-ordered before me for the POV.HD, so it could be 4-6 weeks until i receive it. They had been expecting a delivery in early february but it's not arrived. So i'm thinking of...

    Slipping chain

    Should be compatible then. Personally, i always buy Shimano or SRAM for drivetrain components (Shimano for 'rings and cassettes/freewheels and SRAM for chains usually), the smaller brands or unbranded stuff can often perform poorly, or wear out very fast.

    Optobike 600T test ride

    Which is a horst-link design, like many good suspension designs today. There's also the eSpire which is even faster than the Optibike and a similar price. This one is a single pivot design, which may suit the very powerful bikes as the linkages are only there to reduce pedal induced bob. Not...

    I don't believe it!

    Agreed, pretty poor service.

    Slipping chain

    A too wide chain would jump a lot, it'd keep hitting the ramps on the sprocket next to the one is should be in.

    Optobike 600T test ride

    No problem, really, a few very very small jumps and some wheelies. Any hardtail would do anything on that video and a whole lot more besides. And the excuses for the URT design, pretty lame. I mean really, chain grow as an excuse?! No springs in their derailleurs? I'm sure it's a fine bike...

    Meets / Events / Rides

    Bletchley Park could be the ideal place to decode the frequent Chinese-to-English eBike manuals! ;) Seriously, although i wont be attending due to the distance, such meetings help cement friendship and understanding from core forum posters, so the more the merrier, and it would be greatly...

    David, i have no complaints about it really, its simple human error and such things should always be checked by the customer anyway.

    Slipping chain

    Normally the chainrings are held on with specific chainring bolts like these:

    Checking that all nuts/bolts/screws are tight shouldnt be beyond anyone's abilities. Typically every new bike comes with an owners manual that tells you to do this. How about i leave a small novel instead? ;)

    Slipping chain

    Riveted! That's a bit permanent and would suggest a very poor quality crankset. Unfortunately, changing the whole thing isnt cheap, but i'd want a Shimano crankset on there if they're riveted together! At least Shimano stuff is a known quantity. Funny, i have noticed excessive chainring wear...
