    GPS anti-theft tracker

    Perhaps 2 air tags ? maybe 4 as you can buy a set....but I think the most important is insurance for full replacement value....

    Whyte models....difference?

    Good advice....I had wondered that with seeing the latest tech. No: 1 I hope they fit the new Kiox system.

    Whyte models....difference?

    Thanks Mikerb. I have had an e160rs V1 for about 20 months and really like it..I have upgraded a few items and wondered if the e180rs would be better as the next bike as it does seem much better specced. I'm not an aggressive or particularly fast rider.

    Whyte models....difference?

    Has anyone compared an e160rs to an e180rs....would the e160rs be the same bike as the e180rs if you upgraded the components ?

    Thule EasyFold XT arm clamp position

    It's not really the strap but the black sliding shoe that I moved. It does mean undoing the captive nut and extending it. I then used a long bolt and spacer tube to secure it again. The lock down wheel straps are quite nice and firm to use.

    Thule EasyFold XT arm clamp position

    I've got an e160RS and a Thule 2 bike rack. I'm not sure if you have the same rack but I put the long arm on the top of the fork stantion (not on the moving bit) and the other smaller one on the small triangle near the seat post tube. I also use two ratchet tie downs. I found the wheel carriers...

    Anyone with a well setup SRAM 10-52 cassette able to help?

    Hi Here are pictures of my AXS SRAM but I have swapped to a SRAM 10-50 cassette at the moment. When I first changed the chain I counted the number of links on the existing as it was changing ok before. When I went from a 52 to a 50 I measured the circumference of each largest cog on the...

    SRAM Code R brakes - opinions

    I had the Code R's and always thought they were lacking in any "feel". I tried different pads, cleaning, bleeding with a slight improvement and put up with them for a year. Then I read this article in Mountain Bike magazine The best eMTB disc brake you can buy | E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine and it...

    Has anyone any suggestions. My chain is jumping my bottom gear (biggest cog) on my SRAM cassette. I am on my second GX chain ( 25% worn) with the same cassette. I am using an AXS derailleur and all other changes are smooth. I don'y use this gear too often. I have tried the micro-adjust on the...

    Removing and replacing front wheel advice please

    I had to take my front wheel off for a year before getting a towbar /rack. I always put the rear in first on a plastic sheet then removed the front wheel while it was on it’s side then slid it in on the plastic sheet. The spacer or block between the pade is essential. I got quite good and...
