Anyone know if ebikes need the special ebike speed link or can an ordinary road bike speed link be fine?

My hiabike with a Yamaha motor type has been faultless over the last 14 months since new, but I’ve developed a problem with the odometer. I record every one of my rides which has highlighted this problem. A few times now I will do mileage which is higher than recorded even though my trip is...

What do people use as a lube on their chain, and drawbacks and pluses of their lube?

My 500w battery by Yamaha is fine as I look after it between charges and only recharge just before a ride to 100%. When it comes to replacement I definitely will not be paying the £650-£800 quoted to me for a Yamaha in tube battery, when I briefly thought of purchasing another for extended...

I’m looking to buy a spare set of chain rings to suit my haibike trekking 6.0. they are (I think shimano six) 36 and 48 tooth four bolt fitting. I can’t for the life of me find anywhere that sticks them, they have 26up to 32 etc but not these in particular. any idea? thanks

I’m finding now that going down tracks etc my feet are slipping off occasionally. Does anyone else wear toe clips or fancy peddle clips when riding, how do you find them? I think I’m going to fit the cheaper toe clips rather than the clip system unless someone has a better idea? thanks

The Yamaha battery as a certain life span of I think 500-750 charges before degradation or failure. My question is when charging the battery does it count as a recharge if charging from say70% as opposed to say 10%? I seem to be charging my battery to full capacity just prior to the ride. Is...

I have a haibike trekking and was wondering if fitting air forks (mine are steel spring) whether it would be a lot better ride. anyone retro fitting air after spring and their opinion please? my riding is trails and road. thanks

The cost of this covid 19 is I believe going to hit us all very soon when we return to normal (though I feel we have lost that now) and the payback will have to start. Where will our government get the finances to refund our way out of this calamity?

I’ve come across this one up man ship quite a bit lately. What I’m referring to is this, ‘us and them’ of the assisted and non assisted bike divide. Out riding I’m getting more and more comments when passing ordinary cyclists (usually up hill) and the verbal follow up when they easily pass me...

I have a haibike trekking 6.0 with 1600 miles on the clock. I’ve let my chain go and it’s wear is more than what’s stated for changing no doubt my cassette will need replacing as with my chain crank. It doesn’t slip, it changes sweet as a nut etc. MY question is when I upgrade to a shimano xt...

Is there anyone here have any experience of recumbents? ive seen several quite inexpensive ones on eBay and then looked at them on YouTube. flevo racer was one of them.

Has any one tried Aldi’s lithium grease made by 3-1 ? I was thinking of coating my chain in it after degreasing as my last thought was wax but decided against that. Bob

I bought a rear pannier from eBay, a cheap and cheerful Chinese one which didn’t stand the test of time, 3months months to be exact. the bag has split around the zips. My quest is to find a good quality rear bag and where better to ask is here.

I’m thinking of shaving my legs now that I’m wearing short cycling. it’s not for the aerodynamic properties but more in case I have a crash. What’s the take on it here?

I have a hiabike sduro trekking and wondered if the software could be upgraded to make the rear light flash, it would be a better option as the light is down on the mudguard out of the way. I’ve looked at seatpost lights but my rear rack has a bag so will obscure a post light. ive tried leaving...
