May 13, 20188 yr Author Update Went out on the bike did about 3 miles and the chain snapped It did snap when the derailleur broke and I just put another link in but it looks like I need a new chain. It's a KMC on there and on the link it says 3x sp? Can anyone tell me what chain I need to buy Thanks Steve

May 13, 20188 yr Author Any 10spd chain will work And buy 2 I always carry a spare Don't it have to be a ebike kind?, it's a bit of a mine field out there when you start looking
May 13, 20188 yr This is my favorite brand: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/wippermann-connex I have KMC on the trike and am not impressed where for a couple of € more the equivalent Wippermann is much quieter and smoother shifting on the pedelec.
May 13, 20188 yr Don't it have to be a ebike kind?, it's a bit of a mine field out there when you start looking Sorry for the late reply but i see you already have your answer
May 13, 20188 yr Just checked the chain I bought and so far it has cost me 0.00€ per km rounding up to two numbers after the zero... Or if you must less than 0.50€ per 100 km.
May 19, 20188 yr Author My saga is ongoing I take a look at the rear cassette and front chainring and decided to buy a new chain, cassette and large chainring, so I have a look about on the web and I buy it all from wiggle, so on Tuesday I put my order in and pay the extra £4.99 for next day delivery and here we are on Saturday morning and no parts, what a joke,
May 23, 20187 yr Author One week later and still no parts from wiggle, they say it's still out for delivery with Hermes, this is just a joke Now have the parts on order from my local bike shop and a third more money than online. This is my first and last time I will use wiggle.
May 23, 20187 yr if i have to buy online from a bike shop then i always use chain reaction fast postage and easy returns and real stock levels.
May 23, 20187 yr Wiggle I have no problems with, sadly it's Hermes who are the issue which is sad as it reflects badly on W.
May 23, 20187 yr Author I agree with you about wiggle, but why use Hermes they are just a joke and another thing I don't like about wiggle and chain reaction is they don't have a phone number to call if you have a problem.
May 23, 20187 yr you should try get some black dust caps for my carbon cranks half a fkn year and were at. Miranda have responded to say they are currently out of stock.. I have asked them what the production lead time is... Will let you know once they have calculated it.. and that was 2 months ago from the uk distributor
May 24, 20187 yr Author Off to my local bike shop today to see if my parts are in And wiggle said they will refund me in full.
May 25, 20187 yr Author Update Went into my local bike shop to pick my parts up, happy days, sat down to have my tea last night and a bang on my door and guess what it's only my parts from wiggle and to be fair to them the date was 15 May on next day. Good old Hermes, only 8 days late.
May 25, 20187 yr Are you keeping the refund from Wiggle ? My conscience wouldn't le me without speaking to them first. I have a Wiggle order coming today as Eddie mentioned they still use RM, who have emailed me to say it will be out for delivery today. I think Hermes are used for priority next day delivery or their whenever we can get it to you service.
May 25, 20187 yr Author I have sent wiggle a email to say that I now have it, and I'm going to keep the chainring because I still need that and I'm sending the rest back. If I order again from them I won't use next day. It's just a shame they don't use DPD for next day.
