    Spanner Icon

    Three weeks ago I collected my new Cube Katmandu with the Bosch Performance Line CX motor and Intuvia display. When I got back from my ride today it showed a spanner icon and 150 miles. From reading the manual it appears that this is set by the dealer, as a reminder to have it serviced, when I...

    Trunk Bag for Cube

    I've just places an order for a 2020 Cube Kathmandu ex625. I want to get a Trunk bag similar to the Topeak type to fit on the rear carrier. I'm finding it a bit difficult to discover who makes compatible trunk bags for these carriers, panniers no problem, if I need those I'll get either the Cube...

    sat nav for cyclists

    Hi, I use a SatMap gps system. It has a 3.5 inch screen and is loaded with a complete 1:50000 os map of the UK, I also have a 1:25000 of Southern Spain, where I am now! It does not have a go-to facility but the routing facilities are great and files can be downloaded to Google Earth so you can...

    Good idea I'll give it a go! Like to think I would have thought of this when I actually tried it :rolleyes: !

    Aldi Bicycle Work Stand

    After seeing the OP I bought one, nice bit of kit very solid, thank you for the heads up!, however did have a bit of a problem with my Kudos Tornado, if you clamp on the cross bar it fouls the gear and brake cables so you can't change gear when it is clamped up. What I must try is clamping on...

    Hi Darcini, Difficult one, as I said at the start of this thread, I have got 2 front wheel drive folders as well as the Tornado, I've also tried a Whisper rear drive and another rather expensive one with a crank drive (sorry can't remember the name) they all make a noise but my impression is...

    Well, finally decided and plumped for the Tornado, I thought the Typhoon may have been a bit large given my rather short (29) inside leg. I ordered my bike from Kudos on the Friday before the Bank Holiday and it was delivered at 9.30 on Tuesday, super service Kudos and Interlink! First...

    Hi from sunny?? Cornwall

    Hi Jimod, Thanks for getting back, it gives me confidence to order, I've now spoken with Kudos and they use my "preferred" couriers. Read your reviews, very positive! Just trying to get some info on the Arriba, from what the chap from Kudos told me about the torque sensor it sounds...

    Solar trickle charging

    Oh well, there goes that idea! Re your previous post re the charging , my charger only had a simple co-axial plug to connect to the battery, does this mean that the control electronics are contained within the battery, the charger is labeled Type 2 with no manufacturers name on the battery or...

    Hi from sunny?? Cornwall

    Hi Jimod, I will probably buy mine off the internet as well, did you get yours from Kudos or one of their dealers? Any issues with delivery? We have problems with some couriers! Much assembly /adjustment required? - I dont mind simple bolt on things or seat, handlebars etc but adjusting disc...

    Solar trickle charging

    Many thanks, looks like I will have to risk leaving them, fully charged, for 3 or 4 months!. I suppose I can still be green and do a standard charge with the solar panel etc whilst I'm down there :-) . Chris

    Solar trickle charging

    Interesting - I thought it was ok to leave the charger plugged in and connected more or less permanently (even though I have never done so), I usually plug in and charge overnight so it may be plugged in for a couple of hours after reaching full charge. The reason for my concern about keeping...

    Hi from sunny?? Cornwall

    Hi All, My wife and I have had a couple of electric bikes for 6 months or so, the first time I got on it I was mightily impressed! I'm not very fit so they were a great buy and I did feel I was putting some effort in, but it was so easy! I've left these bikes in Spain so I'm now looking for a...

    I already have 2 electric folders which we purchased to use at our apartment in Spain, the first time I used one I was blown away with how good they were and they are only cheap 24v bikes from Halfords! The only thing is, good though they are I worry that they may not stand up to off road riding...

    Solar trickle charging

    Hi! I have 2 folding pedelecs which we keep down in our apartment in Spain. There is often a 3-4 month gap between visits, I obviously charge them fully after use and before I leave but I'm worried about the self discharge between visits. When not there the power in the apartment is switched...
