Oh memories! The Haynes Manual... it brought a whole new meaning to the English language.. "gently ease" => hit it with a hammer "firmly turn" => hit it with a bigger hammer "carefully remove" => hit it with a rubber hammer First time I tried to fix my old A1300, I was surprised at the...

:ROFLMAO: Yup. Loads of them around here. The forest is on dune sand. Some folks seem to like riding along the beach, too. Not me: too much risk of being hit by flying surfer :eek: Those blokes on the fatties are stupidly fit. Hard keeping up with them on the climbs on an e-bike. Downhill they...

I have had a reply from Bosch about the need to unplug the charger from the battery before unplugging the charger from the mains: this is a design requirement. (Do it the other way around and the motor will not start). This requirement is not stated in the manual. Hi Graham, Thanks for your...

Just had a peek at your routes. You've got some great photos in there, yourself. (y)

Excellent vineyards in that part of the world. I doubt I'd find time for a bike ride... :unsure:

Look good. How much were they?

Not sure about Tannus, but Barbieri Anaconda are also "run flat" and are a tubeless system. (Not used it myself but am considering getting it for my missus' bike).

Yup. I'm always a bit charry about asking donkeys to do what they don't want to. Really intelligent animals that can be a bit stubborn when of a mind to. My dad's jenny used to kick and bite if she decided to be in a mood. I don't like getting too close to those back legs... The worst nightmare...

It's sticky, horrible stuff. Trying to push it out with a stick is a path to madness :eek: It's like one of those sheeps burrs: whenever you think you've got rid of it, you find it sticking somewhere else an inch or two away. I honestly thought I'd stuffed the motor. After I'd taken the photo I...

We've been suffering a dreadful drought. It hasn't really rained since last April. Then we had 6" of rain falling in 2 days, with 4" of that falling on Saturday. The hailstorm in the middle of the night was incredible - it rang all the railings and burglar bars like some mad bell ringer. They...

I live in Southern Spain - I don't need no stupid rear mudguards. Oh no, not at all...

You've got too many KOMs for me to even think about that! :eek: (I don't even think about trying for those around here. The current holders have been known to spend all night getting them back! :ROFLMAO:)

Good spot. I've joined up. Just hope I don't get too competitive (again) :oops:

More of a question about finishing of charging. This has happened twice now. When I charge the Powertube off the bike (which I always do), if I disconnect the mains plug before disconnecting the battery charger lead then the bike will not switch on. I have to reconnect the charger to the...

There's loads of tables on the web. Schwalbe have one for their tyres which shows just about anything to anything! The following table is pretty useful - just make sure you look at Mountain Bike and not Gravel Bike! :LOL: The WTB Tire & Rim Compatibility Chart

My Focus Jam² has no seal around the powertube either. Gets dusty in there! :(

So that's where it is! Thanks! On my Jam² the magnet backs onto the disc, so seems pretty secure. On my missus' Thron² the magnet hangs in mid-air. I can see that being a problem :eek: and will be glueing it in place! Seems a bit of a positioning flaw when it could have been fastened over the...

That's expensive. Under 40€ at rosebikes.de From memory, over 100€, postage is free. I usually buy enough tyres to reach the postage limit.

Your weather is bad this morning as well, then... ;)

This link explains everything you ever need to know about tyre/tire sizing. Including why there are two different sizes of 28" wheels.
