Hawthorns are a pain, they’ll basically go through anything. I notice the Pathfinder Sport has “BlackBelt flat protection” whatever that is, and perhaps it is working. I would have thought the Maxxis would be fine also, it claims “EXO puncture protection”, and as a light trail tyre should be...
I’ve long been a fan of Brooks saddles, though obviously a traditional leather Brooks would look a little out of place on a modern emtb. So shortly I’m gonna pop one of their newfangled Cambium rubber saddles on my new Mondraker. I’ve got one on my gravel bike and my old 1990’s mtb and have...
Cheers Spin,
That charge port cover looks good. I notice they have relocated the charge port on their 2025 models.
Downloaded the Flow App. So I’ve boosted tour plus mode assistance by 2 and EMTB mode by 1 and will see how that helps.
Running the tyres at 30PSI front and rear. On my Cube I...
Thanks mkj1972!
Cheers Spin! I hope the Moto Foam works. It is really wet and boggy round my way, the bike will get coated with thick wet mud on a regular basis. I was thinking that stuff will just clog up with soaking wet mud. We’ll see what happens.
I lubricated and exercised the seat post...
Got my new bike delivered today.
A Mondraker Crafty RR. The Mondraker section seems a bit quiet here.
It is in my garage charging, and hopefully I’ll get out on it tomorrow for a wee spin.
Initial thoughts are;
Those 2.6 tyres are very wide. The Bosch display is massive, far too big and I...
That’s a very generous scheme allowing you to buy a 10k bike before tax!
So basically that 830 quid a month is before you pay tax and NI. It all depends what your earnings are, but as you say your wife is an upper rate tax payer, then she pays for the bike before she pays tax 40% and NI on her...
I’d go for option 1.
I didn’t know that the schemes differed. Mine you pay the bike up over 12 months (salary sacrifice). Then you have the option of signing an extended 4-year hire agreement at no extra cost. I don’t know anybody who hasn’t signed the extended hire. At the end of the 5 years...
Ideal. Was just about to say if you can't get it replaced under warranty just repair.
Plenty of DIY carbon repair videos on youtube. And you can get everything carbon from Materials, equipment and training for advanced composites with next-day shipping and expert technical advice. - Easy...
According to google Guinness is brewed under license in 49 countries around the word. Fortunately today all Guinness sold in the UK comes from Ireland.
And of course there are many other brands of Stout and Porter.
Should be served cool or cold.
Yeah I’ve done that with a can of Irn Bru, dropped it and it burst, bounced a couple of times spraying its contents like a pressure washer before rolling along the floor still gashing bru everywhere. Spent over an hour cleaning it up.
We get pint cans of Nitro Flow Guinness here 568.26ml I...
How long have you had the bike?
I think I’d be pushing hard for a replacement bike or my money back.
Have you returned it to the shop you purchased it from?
I assume you have not touched the motor mount screws, and that they are as they were from the factory.
I don’t know how it works with...
I have a 2021 Cube Action Team 140 (29er) with E*thirteen cranks.
I will soon be fitting a new cassette, the bike’s 3rd cassette and its 6th or 7th chain I think.
So I figure I should maybe be fitting a new chainring – it is currently on the original.
I can’t find any e*thirteen aluminium 34T...
Mine has screws not bolts. The screws go through the insert and screw into the Bosch motor bracket which is in turn screwed to the motor itself. There are no washers.
I can't tell much from your photos.
The inserts are aluminium and are glued into position.
There is still some debate as to what the correct torque setting is for the motor screws. What I do know is around 30Nm and over you will start to do serious damage.
Mine are now compromised. I glued...
Absolutely, they say the most clocked car is the Porsche 911.
And if you are in the market for such a car you may want to get the milage checked by a trusted dealer or specialist. Thankfully it is getting increasingly harder to adjust mileages without leaving finger prints. Just like the dudes...
Stuff still gets clocked but not quite as much as it used to. And if you are buying a used car of a certain age, always check the milage against the MOT history.
