    Hydraulic Rim Brakes

    My front wheel is motor so I stuck with standard shimano cable v-brake for front. I had Magura HS11 (rear only) ran for 18 months, I second the above. I found that the lever went spongy quick and I found my self adjusting them weekly, however I gave up and got used to the spongy due to the...

    Lithium battery recycling

    Yep I too pay in full using a debit card, but I literally had no communication from the council, no letter, read the FAQs, 3 online help request forms, an email to CS responded with an auto-email telling me to read the FAQs, then a phone call that couldn't be logged to a phone call today that...

    Lithium battery recycling

    Yes I am getting a tad cynical in old age, my council is still yet to provide me with details on how to claim my £150 council tax rebate & every time I ring em the "systems" down :rolleyes: It feels like they are trying flob me off.

    Lithium battery recycling

    What actually happens to batteries after you drop them off at local councils or super markets? I highly suspect that as with most, but not all plastics they go to landfill, just see where most "donated" clothes end up, on the streets and in the rivers of a once beautiful remote town in Ghana. I...

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    Oh I can imagine, I live hilly but by no means Scotland's topography. To clarify mine is 48t, I just made a purchase to remove the 3 by Tourney standard to a 48t 1 by even though I was only using one of the 3. I need a new one as my teeth are worn, it appears that one year of riding near...

    Yes indeed I popped a left throttle on my free space, I couldn't be happier, well a part from the wear and tear that ebikes do to the drivetrain.

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    Thinking about it mine may be 48T, i will count them lol - Good to know you didn't need a new chain. Any links to the one you purchased? and what was the bike gear system originally, altus, sram etc? any pics of your chainring? Are you changing gears at the rear then or keeping in one gear, if...

    You get what you pay for!!

    Aye the haves and have nots, the divide will deepen. As for the middle class spending a tad too much on imports is a tad finger pointy imo if people wish to be angry that's fair, but this "blame assigning" & "in fighting", poor against middle class to name a one without causing to much...

    You get what you pay for!!

    I fear you will be right, times will not just be tough but impossible to bear for some. I have only just manged to claw out of poverty myself to be dragged back into it with future energy costs. I personally estimate my gas and elecy in Oct, factoring in the Gov "help" to be over £350 per month...

    You get what you pay for!!

    It's hard to quantify that owning a bike in some parts is considered as well off, we are extremely spoilt in the west and we still moan.

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    True, forgot about that, I just use my 3x front chainring as a 1 by with a chain guide. Think out loud about a belt drive + alfine but the cost for an aging bike and rider.

    Help! Front chainring size ?

    I think mine is a cheapo 44t, 1 year of use and it need replacing but I ride everyday weather permitting. I lose <pedal> speed at 21 mph and ghost pedal, I think that's what its called. Just remember you'll prob need a new longer chain. And if the derailleur and freewheel is worn, if...

    Is a Bafang swx02 rear hub motor with ktT06 controller and kt display compatible ?

    If you have the funds I would invest in a sine wave, feels way better. As for wd40 on 9 pin julet, bruit force is best, I would end up spraying way too much and not be able to get purchase on the cable to disconnect it:(

    If it's a fairly new kit then it will not likely have advanced settings without OEM software link.
