Get yourself some folding pedals and quick release clamps for the stem. Turn the handlebars 90 deg, fold the pedals and carry it inside when it's wet. Also available in M6...

What happens if it doesn't work when you receive it, or if it packs up after a week? Did you see the reasons for fitting a front motor? "We fit a 30% larger battery." "It made the battery much easier to remove". The battery's in the down-tube!

Don't leave your bike out in the rain if you can avoid it. If you have to, get a cover for it.

That's it. Probably faulty if you didn't replace it or not connected properly.

The controller is inside the motor, so no bag needed. The only thing you might need is a pair of connectors and/or some heatshrink for the battery connection. Personally, I wouldn't use connectors, but that's your choice,

When you operate the throttle, there's an AND condition that the sensor is pulsing. The 555 would switch on and pulse as soon as you switch on the controller and remain pulsing until you switch off, in which case the AND condition is always met. I'm sure that's the same as how the PTDISABLE...

Yes, they should work, but they don't look much of an improvement. Chrome stanchions go rusty. If you're want to upgrade, you nshould look for air forks. You can often find good used ones on Ebay, and people are often dumping old stock of new 26" ones because they're out of fashion. These look...

You have an Ahead type stem and headset, so a plain steerer would be easier. Alternatively, if you want to use threaded forks, you only need a new threaded headset and stem that don't cost much. threaded forks tend to be crappier.

A couple of options. The lock assembly is a standard part, though there are a couple of different types. You can find them on Ebay. Second way is to disassemble the lock and take the tumblers out. IIRC, the inner and outer are held together with a circlip. Once the tumblers are out, you can use...

Why would you want to change a tube?

Jeez, why do they always go for the 12 magnets? Try C1=3.

I would guess that the chain came off and broke the disc. Some are more brittle than others. I think the cheap plastic goes brittle with age. You will need a crank-puller to get the crank off and if you have to replace the sensor, you'll need a bottom bracket tool too, so best to get both...

You can use a disc with any number of magnets. Normally, the disc comes with the sensor as a matched pair, so you can get any one you want. Don't get 12 magnets because they have the most compatibility problems...

There is nothing really to check or adjust. It's just a money-making scheme for the dealer. The motor is a sealed unit. they wouldn't touch it if anything was wrong. Just check your crank bearings from time to time because damage increases as they get worse, so if you catch it early, you only...

I used to average about one puncture a week before fitting Schwalbe Marathon Plus 6 years ago. Since then, zero punctures in 6000 miles despite getting a three inch nail burried two inches in my tyre. see the photos...

The reason nobody mentions it is because there is no difference. The procedure is the same, whether front or back: Pull off the tyre on one side, pull out the tube, patch it, stuff it back in, pull the tyre on and pump it up. How do you reckon on one being eaier than the other?

The communication is between the control panel you have on the handlebars and the electronic motor controller that is locaded elsewhere as described in the above post. They are joined by a cable, but one area you should check out if you have a removable control panel is the piece it clips onto...

Pull it tight with a C-spanner, then give it a couple of whacks with a hammer and screwdriver. If your worried, put a drop of Loctite on the thread. The nut doesn't need to be particularly tight. You just have to make sure that it doesn't unscrew itself. Of course, if you use the lock-ring, it...

That's the torque sensor. Logically, the code is telling you that its a problem between the LCD and the controller. That can happen in two simple ways: Firstly, the connection is getting interrupted; secondly, something is interfering with the 5v so that that one of the CPUs (controller or LCD)...

Be warned that there are a lot of problems reported. They have updated some things, but it's too early to say whether they're any better now. If anything goes wrong, your beholden to Halfords because the systems are more or less bespoke, and by many accounts, they're not quick to sort things...
