    Yes, you can always do that. It's simpler to do it with the bleed kit. Undo the top up port, screw in the syringe adapter then attach the syringe. squeeze the lever a few times to get the air out and replace the air with shimano fluid at the same time. Close.

    Volusia, It could well be that the controller or the LCD is the source of the problem. Brakes: I'll lend you a bleed kit for that. You don't need to bleed it but you will need to let the air out, it's call burping. It'll take 10 minutes to sort out. Instructions are with the kit.

    You need to spread the rear triangle (don't worry, it's quite springy) a bit to clear the derailleur. Once the wheel has snapped in place, it'll spring back. here are a couple of pictures for you. Bike is upside down. Drive side: Brake side:

    Have you already taken out the old wheel? If you haven't, then take a few pictures for reference. The 'C' washer is the anti-rotation washer. Leave it in place like it is (they are, the other one has the same orientation). It goes to the inside the frame, with the ridge in the opening of the...

    that's true. My son's German best friend manages the large wind farm near Hull, in the North Sea. They believe in the future of wind turbines.

    Richard, With hindsight, I should have thought of fitting the more popular 4" tyres than 3". I chose 3" tyres because 3" tyres run quieter on made roads. The cost is approximately the same, the price of replacement tyres are all in the region of £50-£65 apiece for both 3" and 4" tyres. you can...

    It can't get much worse as it is at the moment. What is the point for a system that functions on the principle that you have to wait until your health has deteriorated enough before treating you? It just makes health care more expensive and inefficient on the long run.

    I think it's good that he has. He is entitled to show leadership, even if it is hard brexit. Still, I believe this country needs a proper coalition to bring the two sides together.

    I think he should say what he'd like to do differently to TM. It's not enough to say he'd be more diplomatic while still believing in the same thing that Johnson, Gove, Davis and Fox believe in. Carwyn Jones, labour First Minister for Wales, said quite correctly (BBC Today program) Maybe the...

    Kenda makes tyres in China. That's why there are more choices there. Tyres for fat or snow bikes are more expensive and also there are less choices, especially for the 3" width. From the big boys, Vee rubber make 26 x 3, Schwalbe make only 3" wide for 650B rims. Schwalbe Jumbo Jim, Maxxis...
