    My Shimano pair don’t come with cleats. Any ideas? I have Crank Brothers mallets.

    Review FOX Proframe Full Face Helmet

    I got the 100% Aircraft MIPS carbon in XL. First full face for me, and it’s quite snug. Haven’t ridden it on a long ride yet, but I will find out if I get headaches from it. If I have an issue, I will probably go with the Fox Rampage Carbon in XXL. I got a 100% in a goggles combo, which brought...

    Answered How do I order a part directly from Haibike?

    Sarcasm warranted I guess. I have Emailed them again asking for the part directly, rather than asking for it in a warranty claim, which I previously did. The LeMere Cycles guy seemed to imply I needed to be a dealer like he was, so I wasn’t sure what to do. I don’t really have a Haibike dealer...

    Answered How do I order a part directly from Haibike?

    I need to replace a chainring spider, but Haibike don’t seem to offer the upgrade through a warranty claim. Now I was pointed to LaMere Cycles in Minneapolis, and they can order the part for me, but I will be paying fees for it to come here in the UK... which I don’t want to do. Can anybody...

    Unanswered Which E-bike for my brother?

    Bump. I didn’t get the Vitus in the end, partly because I missed the best deal, and partly because I found another bike on EBay. However, the bike on EBay was de-listed, so I am in the market again for another bike. The Ghost Kato FS S6.7+ E-Bike 2018 is down to £3024 from £4800 for me. The...

    Yeah trawling through news feed is a pain, as well as marketplace and notifications being bugged. (Edit) Hmm, maybe they fixed the bugs: new layout on Facebook search I’ve noticed. (2nd edit) Nope, marketplace still broken by not sending me to the new item (if it even exists). Notifications...

    Unanswered Which E-bike for my brother?

    Hmm that cube is good, but I like the CRC 0% finance spread over two years via PayPal. Does anywhere else offer that kind of finance? It would cost me 75 quid a month for the Vitus, so I could make him pay... he earns 30 quid a week for going to school this year, leaving him 45 quid leftover...

    Unanswered Which E-bike for my brother?

    Yeah I meant the VR... corrected. The VR I can get for £1800 down from £2900 and the Cube £2700 from £4300. The cube looks like the winner there. Specs for the cube: Frame: HPA Ultralight, Advanced Hydroform, Triple Butted, ETC 4-Link, ATG, Boost 148mm, Tuned Drive Position, AXH Fork: Fox...

    Unanswered Which E-bike for my brother?

    He wanted pretty much the same bike as mine, but they are few and far between second hand, and I’m not spending £4500 on a new one. On my current budget, two new bikes have caught my eye: There’s the Cube Stereo Hybrid 120 HPA 27.5 SL 500 EBike 2017, with a Bosch CX, which has a cheap fork the...

    Answered Which SPD shoes?

    I am getting Crank Brothers Mallet DH race pedals, and was wondering what would be the best shoe to go with them for my E-bike. Any suggestions? I am asking here purely based on the fact that E-biking requires a lot of climbing, so an Enduro shoe may not be suitable, like for example the Shimano...

    How do you lock your bike up?

    There’s locking skewers... Insurance is a really good idea. One of my locks once registered gives £3000 cover on its own. With E bikes more is needed, so not so useful I guess.

    How do you lock your bike up?

    The vast majority of theft nowadays is done with a motorcycle helmet and a van. I still disagree with the pessimistic view that all locks are useless, though. But you are right: if you can take it into where you work, than all is good.

    How do you lock your bike up?

    Abus Granit Extreme 59 is the best lock I am aware of. Saw one go on EBay for a 100 quid. The ABUS Granit X–Plus 540 is more affordable. I think these D locks should fit, but if they don’t, you’d be looking at a chain... which aren’t as secure. But the Abus Granite Extreme Plus 59 is pretty...
