    Newbie Help Please, puncture

    Morning All. Just walked in to the office and bike has a total flat on the front.... now as I'm an absolute virgin, 5 days since received - I'm still learning the ins and outs! For a puncture, in my day, take out the inner tube with some bent spoons and dunk in fairy liquid water, dry, glue...

    It's Chriiiiiiistmas!

    First ride today, so in theory, apart from 3 minutes on a mates bike, first time on an e-bike!! Certainly takes a bit of getting use to although got comfortable with the controls fairly quick. Down to the shop (in the absolute pouring rain - Dear Santa, please send mud guards pdq!) so all road...

    Help - newbie trying to set up!!

    Yes - dropper switch, sorry. My set up same as the picture. It looks like I have put the remote too close to the left. From the left I have remote > brake > dropper, although brake and dropper feel pretty comfortable - it's just cramped. Which order is best and which goes on first?

    Help - newbie trying to set up!!

    Hi all, received the 6.8 Nine today from cyber land and as I'm a virgin at this, spent a long time setting everything up. Would anyone who has the bosh J2 send me a couple of pictures of how you've set up the saddle switch and the Bosch remote and break - spent hours trying to get it...

    It's Chriiiiiiistmas!

    Here we go - just spent 4 hours trying to put everything together - the joys of internet shopping! Think we have done the Sag but not a clue on the other and the rebound... tomorrows chores. For all you experienced guys, what haven't I done before first ride tomorrow?? Jam2 6.8 Nine

    It's Chriiiiiiistmas!

    Hi All Newbie here again and just thought I'd post an update... It was Day 13 of Lock Down and the Shed was on the list of jobs... behind the selection of forks and spades and saws that get dumped was both my wife's old bikes.... that's how this all started. I took the Sarecen and off we went...

    Newbie...treat me gently

    More great thoughts Gents! To comment on a couple of Zimmerframes points: 1. Only from what I have read as haven't ridden all the alternatives - the Bosch seems to be the motor of choice this year (although see there is quite a grumble / whining noise on this "out of gear" ??) so that was my...

    Newbie...treat me gently

    Thanks Guys, really appreciate the thoughts and that's why the forums work. The old joke - use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure.... the Cube stereo 140 HPC is quite near the budget so question again - new 2020 with new motor and bigger battery against the older Levo tech?? And still in...

    Newbie...treat me gently

    Thanks Zimmer. Any shocks will be better than no shocks so worry about that when grabbing air off the side of a barrel!! You don't say if you ride a Levo, but if you do, I'm 5-10 and fall between a M and L size according to their size guide - I know easiest thing to do is go in and sit but...

    Newbie...treat me gently

    As said, a real virgin on all things electric and, mmm bikes in general! Wife has got me on her old Saracen bike with 7 of 21 gears working and rubber brake blocks, no suspension no nuffin' - just hard work!! Spent the weekend on YT and Google checking all the reviews and vids and the...

    Hi All

    As we're all in lock down and furloughed I thought that was code for holiday which then leads on to being able to drink on a school night. Apparently that was wrong information which my beloved kindly put me right on. Along with this, she also gave me a list of jobs which I am up to 86 from 91...
