As a heating engineer and plumber I know what PTFE tape is for too but I’ve never used it on a bike before, thanks for the heads up though 🙏🙏

I know that’s what I thought too but it’s specified at 50Nm by Hope, I checked the threads and they’re all fine, I’ll find out if everything is ok when I go for my next ride 😉👍

That’s fair enough mate, Revgrips aren’t cheap but so far they’ve been the most comfortable ones I’ve used, and I’ve tried quite a few 👍

Paramotoring for me, it was either Emtbing or paramotoring, Emtb won the fight 😁👍

All of a sudden the app on my phone has stopped working and the App is no longer available on the App Store, anyone know why please

If you’re looking at thicker grips I’d totally recommend Revgrips in the thickest size, they’ve totally eliminated arm and wrist pump for me and are so comfortable without loosing the feedback from my bars, just that slight rotation of the grips makes them so comfortable even in the gnarliest...

I’m far from being an expert Emtb’r but since I fitted my Hope 155mm cranks I’ve found my riding has improved no end, much less pedal strikes has meant more confidence in my riding and from a personal perspective I’ve felt no difference between the two different lengths with regards to pedalling...

Just for the record I did apply a small amount of marine grease, I’m well aware of the corrosion risk between two dissimilar metals but I appreciate your response mate 👍

I’ve been in my workshop today checking my bike and the non drive side crank seems fine after I torque’d it to 50Nm, after checking the drive side I discovered that the crank arm bolt cap was not very tight at all, I checked the crank arm was set at 50Nm, tightened both caps and went for a spin...

Many thanks for your reply mate, much appreciated for your suggestions, It’s a Whyte e150rs, no I’ve not even thought about them to be honest pal, I’m hopeful I’ll be able to do some checks on my bike tomorrow 🤞🤞

Thanks for letting me know mate, I’ll check that too while I’ve got the crank arm off, I need to check the drive side too just to double check my chain ring is tight after reading some peoples posts about them coming loose as well, I’m covering all bases to make sure it’s not my motor that’s not...

Many thanks for your all your responses guys, it’s given me plenty to look at and think about too, if I’m well enough I’m going to get my bike in my workshop tomorrow and have a look at it, not so good today so tomorrow 🤞🤞I’ll be well enough 🙏🙏

Is that the medium strength or high strength please mate

Should I use Thread-Loc on my crank arm nuts or not, I ask this because I went out on a ride in late August and my bike developed a creaking sound, it turned out my non drive side crank arm had started to come loose, I tightened it up to the specified 50Nm, I went out last Wednesday and the same...

After seeing TyJay buying this I decided to give it a try, thanks TyJay 👍👍👍

Toric contact lens so I can wear photochromic glasses when I ride my bike 😁

They might be able to send you one that’s unpainted and yes it is weird but I suppose it was early days for Whyte going into electric bikes, I suppose the brake mounts are different on the new models like the derailleur mount

Stupid question but can’t you remove the paint off the mount and possibly polish it, a bench grinder with polishing or buffing wheels could be another way, just an idea mate.

Rather than carrying a Camelbak you could carry a good quality water filter and not have the weight penalty 😉👍

that’s disgraceful that the shop sold you a bike which is in effect obsolete, I’d get in touch with Trading Standards 👍
