    Towball

    Bought a car with a tow bar already fitted, so bought a bike rack to put on it. Problem is when rack is fitted, it does not sit level. When looking at the towball, it seems the small flat bit at bottom of the ball is not level. Should this flat bit sit level.

    Woosh rambletta and ribble cgr al e

    Bought the rambletta for the wife, came very well boxed and instructions were idiot proof. Folded it goes in the boot, although a little heavy and cumbersome lifting it. Spent 10 minutes with wife going through gears, power settings and off she rode going round school car park. I went home and...

    Have seen a post on here saying the gtech motor is a bafang hub. Would it possible to buy a front bafang motor and connect to the original battery/controller. Change rear to an igh and keep the belt.

    Gears

    Looking at getting a new bike with gears but never having had a bike with gears before, could i ask a probably stupid question. If the bike has 16 gears (2 at front 8 at back) when you want to change from 8th to 9th etc. do you have to click up 1 at front and click all the way back down to 1st...

    Riding over 15mph

    such a thing as

    an internal gear hub with integrated motor, googling seems to come up with lots of variations on geared motors which i'm sure is not the same thing. just wondered if there was a kit that had motor and gears in one unit.
