    Bike frame lock

    I am always amazed by the utter CRAP people buy to lock their bikes, they spend £2-3-400 on a bike and get this crap to lock it, LOL I have two bikes and use these on BOTH bikes so X2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07JXVKGF4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Why were Full Throttles banned in 2016?

    Plain and simple Police state ILLEGAL to have and use a throttle on a bike. Having one means it is a motorbike, and 6 points on your licence and a fine Lets cut the complicated chatter

    Hi just joined

    You didn't provide the whole info then ;) I would 100% always use a proper bike shop not a large store when servicing, I pay more but 100% sure the service is perfect and I have NO concerns taking it back.

    48v hub drive bike - (not UK legal)

    Nothing I have said is false nor misleading, I have tried front rear and mid and I DO as stated READ "I as in ME" prefer to remove the wheels when fixing punctures, also mid hubs are easier to work on in MY opinion. Finally there are many qualified sites such as Mountain biking and Cycling...

    48v hub drive bike - (not UK legal)

    I had my 2 bikes converted with the largest 750w 2 amp hour Bafang batteries and the 001 MID drives £850 each with colour display, beats any hub drive for mountainish, Welsh forest riding, I would 100% upgrade any GOOD bike you already have. Here I am soaking from a 6 mile forest ride 22/9/23...

    Which ebike to choose?!

    All GOOD manufacturers and chargers will cut off when charging is complete, not carry on charging, when my Bafang is charged I can hear the fan stop and charger turns off, avoid cheap unbranded 100% (Chinese)

    Which ebike to choose?!

    If you only want to ride roads then many are ok, I personally chose the upgrade route with the only GOOD route, MID drives, more power/torque for off roading, and whilst people will be rear, front or mid drive people the MID drive is better than all front/rear hubs and that is fact, but more...
