    Water damage imminent?

    Bike has been in heavy rain the past week, and now when I turn the key the led display flickers before I turn it on. Should I let it dry out over weekend? Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

    Mushy brakes

    Its a 12 magnet. I noticed pedaling backwards also kills the motor, so there's something Hmm interesting, hydraulic front and a good back brake and keep a sensor, might be the way forward Honestly I've had disks before. I'm no expert but they are aligned and close enough that they should...

    Mushy brakes

    Mine does run a little after stopping, not a lot but noticable. So it would still be pretty safe without those sensors I suppose Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

    Mushy brakes

    I agree but would still like modulation in the back, back brake is still useful in certain scenarios. Either way changing to hydraulics involves accessing the controller to disconnect at least one brake lever, so why not do both? There are sensors available that work with your existing brake...

    Mushy brakes

    I have a falcon spark with mechanical disks, no matter how nice I have them set they feel super mushy. The stopping power is really good but it's hard to judge because I can't feel them bite properly, this results in the odd rear wheel lock. I suspect cable compression and lever flex. As I...

    Replacement axle nuts?

    Got sorted found a friendly supplier across the road from work and they didn't even bother charging me for it. Even better this nut fits the hitch properly so I'm now back on the road with a trailer hitch Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

    Replacement axle nuts?

    I cross threaded when trying to install a trailer hitch that I modified to fit, now it is completely stripped. I believe it is 12mm but standard nuts don't fit, finer thread pitch. Where can I find axle nuts in 12mm? Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk

    Cheapest conversion available?

    Not after anything fancy really, budget would be 300 quid. It's a hardtail mtb. Seen a 300 quid kit from china on ebay, just need a 2nd setup until we can afford another bike, we would like to get something a little better but for now I'm struggling to enjoy regular biking while she chugs along...

    Cheapest conversion available?

    I find myself wanting to convert a mountain bike. It's a cheap bike and arguably not worth the investment, but it's a bike I've come to love. I think I've looked at all possible ways to make it cheaper but am a bit stuck tbh. Have even considered lead acid batteries for cheapness (these would be...
