I always wanted a square wheeled unicycle lol

I have been hucking it around the street lately trying to get my (limited) BMX skills back and I was thinking of hitting some real jumps with this beast. Now I know the forks will be crap on anything that gives decent air, but are the rims and frames capable do you think? I used a slanted kerb...

Since I ripped the controller out of my Vulcan and derestricted it with a new one I have had only 1 cutout, had loads before. So the issue is the BMS tripping but the suntour controller seems worse for it

Is there any source that isn't a ripoff like Halfords? Would also like a 48v one if possible as I changed to a dual power controller. After a flat battery yesterday I decided a need a spare

Wow, so many responses! I have a zefal no mud which is similar to the mudhugger but sadly it never saved my legs. It could have been the front tyre though, not sure. What I desperately need is the front though, those cheap cable tie guards do precisely nothing. The bike was disgusting, little...

In need of the above, for MTB. Can't be seatpost mount as it would interfere with trailer. Scruffy bastards. Basically I need full coverage to stop it slinging up

I think there is better out there, but they are reasonably priced and simple to fit which is cool. I prefer rear hubs for grip reasons, dont like the idea of washing out but I ride hard in all conditions. Just don't do their Kickstarter thing as the wait times are a joke so I've heard

Here's how to handle the situation the northern way "cheater!" "And?" (Arms raised) *Crash into brick wall due to thinking you can no hander and protest at the same time

I had this. It was water in the hall plug. Blew it out, good as new. Drove me nuts till I figured it out.

I reach that speed on the regular with the help of some big hills. If you taste the pavement either you or a motorist f'd up. That said with limitations removed it becomes more important to be aware of surroundings and safety check the bike, especially the brakes and points of contact. A loose...

Just to add any adjustment to the spokes is likely to throw the wheel out of true (buckled). Go slow and then look up how to true a wheel to keep it in good shape. I just tightened and trued mine it's not so hard with practice, but patience is a must of the adjustments are to last. It's much...

I loved giving "backas" on my BMX Stunties. Doing it on a MTB with just them on the seat and you standing is terrifying. A strong pannier with cushion and some stunt pegs would be a practical solution, as for legality the only time I ever seen someone get told off was 3 yobs riding one bike, one...

You can clean with wd40 just don't use it as lube. A good dry lube works best, wet attracts more muck in my experience. Wet may work better when it's really cold though. Just fully charge your battery, this 99% nonsense isn't going to make a real world difference, and a full charge balances the...

I use a chain lock from Wilko. Looks gnarly and will survive more than a pair of scissors. I used to use a kryptonite one but it was far too short. For the more dodgy areas I was considering doubling them up. I'm not insured but never had an issue as long as it's locked. I have had some lights...

Was looking at those, not sure if they would feel safe on the most dodgy terrain but would probably fare better than the last hybrid tyres I ran. Something like those in a wider flatter profile would be perfect I think. I've used conti double fighters in the past good grip but still not as...

I ride a lot of roads but sometimes visit some pretty loose muddy gravelly stuff, the hybrid tyres just weren't cutting it. I got some cheap eBay neutral tyres and while the grip is excellent the road is chewing through the rear knobs at an alarming rate. Is there anything not too pricey that...

Ride it however you want. The only thing to remember is the more effort you put in the more range you will get

Hmm, could be resistance in the power lines, check they are plugged in properly and the wires and connectors are in good nick. If not then the fault may be in the controller, if you have one to test that would help

In my teens I had an expensive O'Neill ski jacket that was very good. A Dunlop work coat does the same far cheaper though, it never wet through even in extreme rain but eventually the zip broke. May get another as although my works own version is as good it doesn't have a proper hood

I ride all year round as it's how I get to work. Those big hi Vis dunlop coats from sports direct are great, I use Aldi ski gloves and face warmer, I have never worn a helmet so I put my hood up and a hat on. Lights are a must for the darkness, it also helps to alert you to ice and frost in the...
