A couple of questions if anyone can help please...
1. When looking behind the 'chainwheel' guard, I can see some mud down there. How should I clean this? Should I remove the crank and do it properly, hose it down, something else?
2. The 'chainwheel' guard on the Cube is crap. It's a bendy plastic which offers little in the form of protection and the bendiness has meant the chain has caught it a couple of times. Not a big deal but I'd like to replace it with something a little better (think I saw a metal version on a high end Haibike) at some point. Anyone have any suggestions?
3. When cleaning the bike with a hose pipe, what should I do with the battery? I removed it yesterday and put a cover over the battery connectors on the bike, but that was a bit of a faff. Any suggestions on this one?
Thanks
Mark
