    funny noise

    As the wife of a mechanic, I know there is nothing they dread more than someone saying they can "hear a funny noise" - however, I can, and am not sure if it's indicating something wrong or if normal. When I'm going uphill (doesn't seem to do it on the flat) I can hear a pretty constant "tinkly"...

    Squeak from speed sensor

    Managed to get out for my first proper go on the bike - it's great and the way it climbs the 1 in 5 hill from the village is just unbelievable (14mph and me laughing out loud). But there's a squeak. I've tracked it down to the magnetic sensor rubbing on one area of the fibre disc with the...

    I've got one!!! (Kudos Tornado)

    Title says it all :) Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and recommendations. I visited DS Automotive in Weston-super-Mare today and came home with a Tornado.

    let's pretend...

    ... that I can have an ebike (just a dream at the moment). My regular ride would take in a 20% incline (so the Woosh site tells me) and I can only pedal very gently, due to a knee condition. I read that centre drive is best for hills but does this still hold true if you can't pedal very hard? I...

    just tried a (very old) ebike - love it!

    Hi All, I've been around the forum for a while, since my son was looking for an ebike. He's got one now (Cyclezee kit) and is so pleased with it he wanted a bike for his girlfriend. She's not at all sure about one so he was looking for something cheap so that if she doesn't go for it there's not...

    Woosh Sirocco CD(L)

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone within around a 50 mile radius of Bristol has a Woosh Sirocco bike and would be willing to let us have a look? My son would like one, but is reluctant to order without having seen one. Thanks very much -H
