    DIY Halogen Lights

    I will be interested to hear what you think of the light and also if you are charged any import duty. I have been stung a couple of times in the past when buying items from the US.

    DIY Halogen Lights

    Sorry. Don't know how to post a link properly. As Andrew has already kindly pointed out, if you search "Cree Bike Lights" on Ebay, you will find them.

    DIY Halogen Lights

    Hmmmm. I hadn't seen the Cree Bike Lights on Ebay. Maybe worth a punt at £33 delivered. Does anyone have experience / thoughts on these...

    DIY Halogen Lights

    With the dark days of winter rapidly approaching, I too have been experimenting with a home made light consisting of a 12v 20W MR16 halogen bulb, some aluminium tube and other bits and pieces from my shed. It isn't bad considering total outlay so far is under a fiver and it looks quite...

    The Best Electric Bike????

    Powerbyke-9 Giant-9 Ezee-10 Kalkhoff-13 Powacycle-10 Wisper-11 Urban mover-9 Gazelle-10 Sparta-9 I have given a point to Kalkhoff as the bike has exceeded my expectations and it isn’t very often that you buy something and find that it is actually better than advertised. I have...

    Pro-Connect Review at 250 miles

    I am now at 300 miles on my Pro-Connect. No problems so far apart from a faulty battery charger. I have ridden it in all sorts of weather and had several good soakings, but it has performed perfectly. 50 Cycles were very good about the charger. Gave me a new one straight away. I wonder who...

    Panasonic Motor - Lateral Movement

    I have read somewhere on here that other Kalkhoff owners have found the motor bolts loose. I checked the ones on my bike and they were a bit on the slack side. Does anyone know a correct torque figure for the bolts? I like to use the correct figure when I can.

    Fitting an Axa Framelock

    John, I have just fitted that same lock to my Pro-Connect. You are right the instructions aren't very good. I used a couple of cap head stainless screws that I had nocking around to attach it via the holes in the down tubes. I think it makes a neater job than using those tie things that come...

    Electric Bike Security

    I am thinking of buying an AXA Basta Defender ring lock with the extension cable. Will this fit onto my Pro-Connect out of the box? The bike has what I think are mounting lugs on the rear down tubes close to the V brake mounts. i assume the ring lock just bolts into these lugs? I thought I...

    Pro-Connect Charging Problems

    50 Cycles swapped the charger for a new one. No quibbles. Thank you. And all seems to be OK so far.

    Pro-Connect first range test.

    I have fitted an 18T sproket following the instructions posted by James and Flecc. The instructions were spot on. Thanks. The sproket retaining clip was a bit of a devil to re-fit, but it went on eventually. I shortened the chain by two links and this seems to position the wheel in the centre...

    Pro-Connect Charging Problems

    Just tried to charge it again and no LEDs light up when the battery is on the charger. Tried switching power on and off with the battery on the bike and it still won't charge. Should it be doing this? I need this bike to be reliable for my comute to work. Thanks Tom

    Pro-Connect Charging Problems

    I have had my Pro-Connect just over a week now and have done over 120 miles on it. I am really pleased with it and the riding experience exceeds my expectations. I am having a few difficulties with the charger / charging and I don’t know if it something that I am doing wrong or if there is a...

    Pro-Connect first range test.

    Yes the incorrect part number was a Typo error by me. I have ordered the one from the data sheet posted by James, but thanks for pointing my error out. It could have lead to disappointment!

    Pro-Connect 1st Review

    My Pro Connect did that. The gears weren't correctly adjusted.

    Pro-Connect first range test.

    Thanks James. As you say it matches up with the part number, so it must just be a stock photograph of a sproket. I think I'll order one, silver will match the chain, so I'm not too bothered about finding a black one. Regards Tom

    Pro-Connect first range test.

    I am trying to find an 18T sproket for my Pro Connect. James C posted a link to Petra Cycles which listed a number of sprokets of varying size. The images appear to show a flat sproket where as the one on my Pro-Connect is dished. The data sheet for the Nexus WH-8R25 lists the 18T Sproket...
