    Chain jumping off front sprocket

    Chain coming off is a problem on all bikes with a single chainwheel and wide cassettes. you can mitigate it a bit by correct adjustment and removing a chain link as it stretches, but you won't eliminate it, as you'll find out. Preventing the chain from coming off with a guide is a much more...

    Home grown retro re-(e)cycle

    It's not legal, so there's not much anyone can do with it. You're out on the power, pedal sensor (lack of), throttle and battery voltage.

    Chain jumping off front sprocket

    The problem is the lack of front derailleur. You need a chain guide. Take your pick: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l2632&_nkw=chain+guide&_sacat=7294...

    anyone had a torque up grade

    Let me ask the question again a different way: Why? Do you like the look of the Torque the weight or what? Which characteristics do you want in your bike?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, it's becoming exciting now. Apparently the Kraken has been released. I haven't seen it yet though. Does it have big teeth? How does it know who to bite?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Being in politics isn't equivalent to being successful in politics. I would have thought that if you had thought that he had been successful, you'd be listing his achievements, like got the Ukrainian investigator fired, transferred millions of US jobs to China, signed up to The Great Reset...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Are you on drugs or something? Don't you understand simple English? A is more than B means that A and B are mutually exclusive. You cannot have A is more than A.

    Home grown retro re-(e)cycle

    I look froward to seeing your next one. i love this sort of customization. If you're going to build another frame, what about adding something like this to it, so that you don't have to have cable ties around the frame?

    Home grown retro re-(e)cycle

    It's veritable work of art. You must be proud of it. Did you weld up the frame yourself? What's the all-up weight. I have a couple of comments regarding it's functionality. It seems a missed opportunity not to use a hydraulic brake at least on the front. I think you're going to find the brakes...

    Clunking noise

    Hold the front brake on while you push the bike back and forth to see if you can feel play in the steering bearings.

    And another CX motor bearings bite the dust!

    Reminds me of when I was riding along happily with my mate. All of a sudden a concrete bollard jumped out in front of me sending me straight over the handlebars after hitting it. Afterwards, it didn't even run away. It just stood there grinning at me.

    Carrera Vulcan

    That's completely false. I have a Carerra Vulcan that's about 4 years old and has been used all through the winter. There's no rust at all on it. Nothing has given a single problem in that time except the crappy torque sensor. I'm going to convert the electrics to a normal cadence sensor, then...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They've been working on this for at least a decade, long before we had Covid. Now you can see that Brexit makes no difference in or out.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's not a conspiracy. It's on the WEF website - you know, the organisation that runs the meeting in Davos every year. Did you not read it? They printed it all out in Time magazine. Is that an alt-right publication?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Trump got more votes than any former president in history, so that can't be right. The vote count, as it stands, shows that Biden got even more. That's the thing that needs to be explained, when he didn't campaign, nobody turned up to his rallies and he has no record of success in politics.

    Help! Replaced the controller and now the hub motor is making an odd noise

    Firstly, be very careful about running your motor when it makes noise like that. Only give it minimum power otherwise there's a good chance that you'll blow the mosfets in the controller. Firstly, if you have the 9 pin connector near your motor, make sure its in all the way to the line, not...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    As far as I can figure out, Trump is one of the few leaders that hasn't bought in to it.
