    Found an eBike battery

    Hi all. This is an odd one. I was walking my dogs near Finedon in Northamptonshire and found a bike battery in the field. It's some Chinese generic thing but how someone can lose a bike battery is beyond me. It still has power. Just thought I would post on here on the unlikely event the...

    Anyone ridden a Sinclair X-1?

    Oh no. It's only on kickstarter. Sir Clive Sinclair's career really did peak in 1982.

    Anyone ridden a Sinclair X-1?

    The folding bike they actually sell looks more interesting. For £299 I would get one on c2w out of impulse.

    help - I've "broken" my bike

    You will have hydraulic brakes I assume, and they are new so a big bladed flat screwdriver used carefully should separate the pads enough to get the brake disc back in. Don't force anything or you will damage the pads, Failing that, I'm sure that if you take the bike to even a halfords they...

    New Gtech ebike

    How often do you have to empty the dust box? Doing the stairs will be murder even with pedal assist.

    Creakin crank

    Thanks. They made me grin like a loon when I fitted them. They are Mucky Nutz bar ends and you fit any bottle tops you want. Once they have taken a beating you drink a couple of beers and replace them. I plan to abuse the heck out of em!.. often!

    Info on Brooks Saddles

    I love the look of brookes saddles but I find Charge Spoon saddles very comfy even for my fat arse. And you can get some cool designs. I have a winter camo one on my Cube and a Hi vis green one on my Voodoo Bizango.

    Creakin crank

    After 130 miles my Cube developed a creak when exerting a lot of torque so I made sure the pedals were tight and decided to take it back to the shop very early for its 8 week service. I didn't bother booking it in as I expected to leave it there but the mechanic had a quick look and a while...

    Bosch battery not securing

    Only if I give it some firm whack like Soundwave said. Perhaps it will get easier. I will use the velcro led elastic thing shown in one of the pics just in case.

    Bosch battery not securing

    I had to remove the battery for the photo shoot and it took less time to get it in this time so maybe it's just the knack I need. It's still not what I would expect from German engineering.

    Where to try Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 29er?

    You will not regret it. I had to take the front wheel off to get it in my car and was shocked at how light it was. Your getting good quality components and I'm not surprised it's selling out. I bumped into a chap who was bringing his cube Ebike in for a service today and he was a very...

    Bosch battery not securing

    Another revelation is that this bike feels normal when pedeling with no power. It, of course, rolls with no resistance and so I feel no fear if I run out of juice.

    Where to try Cube Reaction Hybrid Pro 29er?

    I picked mine up today and it had a scratch on the frame. They said the model is sold out but gave me £40 off so no worries. Check the battery fits on ok. Mine is not easy to get back on. Other than that it's a super bike and climbs very well. See my post about the battery.

    Bosch battery not securing

    Once the battery is in, the bike is a joy. The steepest hill near me left me gasping for air near the top on a normal bike. I reckon I could hold my breath most of the way up thanks to pedelec power. It's seamlessly smooth when the power cuts off at a smidgen over 16mph and I found myself...
