  1. Hey everyone! Hope you're all well. Quick question - I've managed to lose the rear nut on the non gear side of my rear wheel. Is anyone able to confirm the nut and washer size needed? Thanks in advance!
  2. Thanks for all the feedback everyone - the new tyres have officially been fitted! Just a quick one on the hydraulic disk brakes. I fitted new pads a week ago and they are very, very tight (so close to touching and very, very small movement in the brake lever). Is there a way of making them a little looser? Thanks again!
  3. Evening all! I’ve been struggling to get in touch with anyone at Woosh that can help me with technical issues recently. I’m trying to figure out the correct washer arrangement for the rear wheel, specifically the sort of locking nut. Should the “locking” part be going in to the socket first (as pictured) or should it be going last? Any help both on that and how I’m meant to get it to go in would be hugely appreciated. I’m assuming I shouldn’t turn the bike upside down due to the hydraulic brakes?
  4. First day commuting to work today which was exciting! Sadly I kept getting an "Error 30" displaying, combined with it registering 0 on the speedo afterwards. Any ideas what this could be?
  5. Thanks for all your responses guys. I did a bit of research into the Kenda tyres I have at the moment. It looks like they are the K892 model which are similar to the double fighters Tarka mentioned above. Designed for MTBs that are mainly used on the road. I think if they were "proper" MTB tyres the rolling resistance between them and a road tyre might be much more substantial. I think I will eventually go for one of the Schwalbe tyres recommended above, but for now I'm going to stick with the comfort of the larger tyres and get another 500 miles under my ... saddle.
  6. Hi all! I have a Woosh Rio electric MTB which I only really use on the London roads. It currently has what I would class as mountain bike tyres. I’m considering putting on some road/hybrid tyres like the Marathon Tour 26 in 2” to increase mileage and decrease road resistance. Do you think it will have a noticeable impact on performance, or will I only feel the bumps more? Would love your feedback!
  7. Thank you! Does it make much difference which width I go for? I notice there are options between 1.35 and 2 inches?
  8. Amazing - thanks as always for your help! The link for the tyres takes you to 700, I'm assuming it's the 26" equivalent? Any hints on the throttle controller not working when adjusted round slightly?
  9. Firstly, what a great thread – definitely helped me make my decision on which bike to go for. I picked up a Woosh Rio MTB with a 17 AH battery from Southend about 2 weeks ago now and have done approximately 150 miles. Overall, I’ve been hugely impressed with the bike and the customer service Woosh provides. Mine had a small issue with the battery and the way it fitted into the holder. After a mile or so the battery would unclip. I attached a strap to stop it from falling out and emailed Woosh. They sent some instructions over, which I followed, and everything seems to be okay now (though my paranoia has kept the strap on!). A couple of quick questions: I’m thinking of putting road tyres on as I will only use the bike to commute in central London. Any hints on which tyre size will fit the bike? Is it any 26” tyre? Would ideally like to get some marathons or equivalent on there! I tried moving the throttle around a little to make it easier to hold down, but notice it stops working when you do? It worked when I moved it back? I noticed when I was moving the battery holder that all the cabling is under the bottom fitting. If I were to leave the bike outside in the rain without the battery fitted, I’m assuming I would run the risk of water damage? What distances are people getting from the 17 AH battery using full assist? It looks like mine might get approximately 40 miles on flat London roads (I’m 70 Kg, 60 PSI tyres) which is lower than I was expecting! Slightly worried the battery bouncing out might have damaged it slightly! How do I check the voltage of the battery? I noticed that was mentioned a few times in the thread. Any help/feedback would be much appreciated. Courtesy of it's London life, I've gone a bit stealth with the paint job.
