Possibly. Very clever. I have wondered if it is Fleck or Flech and now I know. My Sister in Law is a Comincini, pronounced Cominchini, so there was a clue for me.

50 C have sold via EBay in the past. It's usually surplus stock or last years models. £1500 isn't bad for a new, 2010 PC, as it comes with a new battery and a 2 year warranty.

Thanks for the Magura Forum link. I've posted a question, but the forum doesn't look as though it has many subscribers. I think some Magura employees monitor it, so i might be lucky.

How do you pronounce flecc. Is it flech or fleck? Or am I altogether wrong.

Don't mention the 24 spoke wheels. I think you may have got away with it this time. We don't want to make a big thing of the fact that it has 24 spoke wheels, so the less we mention anything about 24 spoke wheels the better.

There is a mechanism just inboard of the rear sprocket. This rotates and is moved by the gear cable. If this is stuck, then it could be contaminated with grit and general dirt from the road, or as you say, it might be a failure within the gear mechanism inside the hub. Once the rear wheel is...

£1000 is a bit much for a buy it now price. It is a 24 spoke wheel model, which I know is a bit contentious, so I won't mention the fact that it had 24 spoke wheels. Not a word.

Thanks Aldby and NRG, I think you both might have something there I remember now that both brakes were delivered with very long hoses attached. The rear brake works fine and that was fitted, as delivered, with the full length of hose attached. I had to cut the front brake hose to a shorter...

When you say jammed, what exactly is happening? 1) When you try to go up the gears (towards 8th) are you able to move the handlebar selector or does the cable go tight preventing this? 2) When you go down the gears (towards 1st) what happens to the cable? Does it remain under tension or does...

I have always been a fan of Magura rim brakes and still am. But there is a slightly annoying problem. On my front wheel, which is now perfectly aligned in the forks, one brake pad is skimming the wheel (RHS), whilst the other pad is a short journey away. I have backed the adjuster right...

I think that opinion on the use of Slime is pretty much divided. Many, me included, have not had a good experience when using Slime. When a puncture occurs, the Slime can escape from the inner tube, without sealing, and penetrate between the tube and tyre. This results in a complete mess making...

The government is looking at introducing a new offence of causing death by dangerous cycling following concerns that there is no suitable legislation to deal with riders who are involved in incidents such as hitting pedestrians on pavements. A transport minister has privately promised to...

It is quite an expensive fix, but worth it in the long run for the fit and forget factor. I scrapped a set of tubes and tyres on a nearly new bike. It hurt a bit at the time but I'm glad i did it, never had a puncture (I shouldn't have said that should I?) You should be able to make the swap for...

It would be worth fitting new tubes without Slime in them. Some will disagree, but Slime can be more trouble than it is worth. If you do dispense with the Slime tubes, putting on a set of Marathon Plus tyres would be worthwhile whilst you have the wheels of the bike.

It's quite true that the more capable riders can extract the most power from the system for the reasons you give in your example. Sticking with your example, say a rider can only provide a maximum 100 Watt pedal effort for a short continuous period, say when climbing a hill. They are therefore...

The gear engagement could be due to an incorrectly adjusted cable. You can easily check this by putting the bike into 4th gear and then looking vertically down onto the rear sprocket. Just inboard of the sprocket you will see a little window with two yellow lines visible. If the two lines are...

Your right, it does. However, if you click on the picture of the bike in a field, that one has 24 spoke wheels. They must be supplying them with both types of wheel, probably dictated by the availability of parts at the time of manufacture. I suppose it is just luck / misfortune as to which...

I have noticed that shortly before the battery cuts out, there is a very noticeable drop in the assistance. This is usually about 1-2 miles before the battery cuts out altogether.

I had 24 spoke wheels fitted to my 2008 Pro Connect and I experienced many problems sourcing replacement parts, and with lose spokes. This was a wheel which was in use 3 years ago and things may have changed. As flecc indicates, this may be a different wheel. Following my experience with 24...

I would also think that this is very unlikely that the production model has gone back to this set-up. I'm sure that WALKERMAN, like me, wouldn't go anywhere near it if it had 24 spoke wheels. I think he has just bought a PC Disk, so I'm sure this won't be the case. The 24 spoke wheels on the...
