Already have second battery. Riding is a mix on country roads and local hills. Riding with aggressive tyres on road is like driving a tractor. New tyres are much more efficient.

Bought a set of wheels and tyres for road purposes so I cut the drag and decrease use of battery power. Rear wheel is a Hope wheel and built with a hub for eMTB purposes. Only found out that brands of hubs can vary by a couple of millimetres so will have to adjust mech and cable each time I swop...

Thank you, great advice on cassette.

Considering purchasing a second wheel set for road cycling with my Cube ProReaction 500 hardtail. Currently just use it with off road Vittoria Agarro/Barzo tyres on the 29" Alex 30 wheels both on and off road. Is it considered a necessity to purchase ebike specific wheels owing to power from the...

Steve cut a bit of mahogany hard wood. It can take the punishment.

Seems an oversized tube on the bike frame. Spoke to a friend who is a bike mechanic and seems he's seen this even on bikes up to £10k. Bit of wood inserted in bike frame to suit measured height of seat pillar and some fibre gel as you suggested has fixed the issue. Thank you.

Yes tried bolt and nut, Did not make any difference.

Thanks Steve, you certainly know your stuff in that comprehensive answer. Checked Suntour OD again and it is 30.9mm. I was wrong in my original calculation, maybe due to age and eye sight. Got another 30.9mm from a friend and it is the same issue, an oversized tube on the bike frame, fractional...

Looking for advice: Fitted a SR SUNTOUR New SP12-NCX Suspension SeatPost 30.9 X 350MM to my Cube Pro-reaction 500 two years ago. It was a straight swop out for the Cube seat post measuring 30-9mm. I noticed that at the end of the ride that the Suntour seat post had sunk by over an inch passed...

Aye Sander, after three days they were holding about 50% of the max 35psi and improving by the day. First time tried so a bit lost as to why they were deflating.

Thanks Andy, found that with the previous Continentals. Bike back with my bike mechanic who will be on top of it. He is going to use wider rim tape 22mm which will come up under the tyre rim. That should sort it.

Aye, mate, these tyres take 35psi max. Only just fitted. Nut on valve is tight and no leaks there.

Hi folks, I am not mechanically minded so bear with me. I have had a professional bike mechanic fit two Vittoria tyres to my Cube Proeaction 500 29er wheels, an e-Agarro on the front and e-Barzo on the rear. Mechanic called me to advise there was no TL or TR to state that the tyre were for...
