To be fair to the little guy he does alright for a small pump, I usually take the wheels into work and use a compressor. some tyre, wheel combos are difficult to seat. some wheels have a deep drop centre, if both tyre beads are in it, it can be a struggle to set the bead as air just escapes...

Cheers @Zed. Loads of useful info there (y)

Brave man 😬. It's a simple job, I was scared to brake anything in my clean garage with everything to hand, though I'm sure the more you do it the quicker it gets 👍

I also liked what I read about them, and have a pair ready to go onto my bike to convert to mullet. Can't comment on what they are like yet. I've changed travel on them which was fairly straight forward, though it's not a car park job, and you may need some semi bath oil handy to top up if any...

A new roly poly spinny whoosh and some rubber. Little tip, if you don't have a compressor or a tyre air shot inflator you can use zip ties to help squash the bead onto the rim and then you can use a normal bike pump to seat the tyre 👍

I'll be replacing my stock stem with a DMR defy soon, I went with the 50mm version but there is also a 35mm. You may also need some stem spacers to replace the stock ones, or you can try cutting the little pin off of the top of the stock spacer so the new stem sits flush. The stock spacer and...

Is Bafang the way to go? From what I've read they are easier self serviceable and spare parts are readily available.

With the Bosch smart system you can also tilt the bike over to engage walk assist. I've found tilting or rolling back much more effective at starting walk mode than trying to push forward.

32 miles today, mostly dry until you hit the woods and it's still a bog 😞

I have the Halfords one and it easily supports my 25+kg cube in a work stand. It's pretty darn strong. I've never used it to actually support a bike on a car though and maybe wouldn't trust it to hold the full weight of a ebike on a long journey. With the cross bar I can raise the front or...

He has a Cube stereo, which I believe has a carbon frame. If it's a pre 22 model it will have a kink in the top tube making it hard to balance the bike on a work stand. Ideally you should avoid clamping onto a carbon frame to avoid cracking it. Instead, use a false cross bar to bridge between...

You should be using a false cross bar with a carbon frame. Halfords sell them for £20 I use one with my cheap Amazon stand and it lifts the bike okay. The park tool will be a lot better, but it's also a lot more expensive.

Hey all, can anyone offer some advice, I've been running a magic Mary (super trail, soft) and big Betty setup over winter and found it a good set up in the mud. Now things are drying out, and riding on a lot of sandy hills I'm finding the Mary not so grippy. I have a spare big Betty to put onto...

These look nice also https://www.bike-components.de/en/e-thirteen/Helix-R-espec-E-bike-Crank-for-Bosch-Gen4-Brose-S-Mag-TQ-Fazua-p91713/?o=20115144-bronze-155-0-mm&delivery_country=GB

I'm also after some new 155 cranks after bending my Miranda's on a root strike. The Miranda's are okay if you can get them cheaper on Amazon, they do seem to bend easily though, so if you're a heavy or aggressive rider bare that in mind. Also I'm not sure if it's the machining, finish coating...

Just done mine recently on my 22 action team as a couple of bolts had worked loose. I went with 12nm for the bolts going into carbon and 6nm for the metal bracket bolts. I wouldn't like to go any higher on the carbon bolts and I used a small drop of thread lock. I've put a witness mark on...

Nice one 👍 Exactly the info I was after, thank you.

Does anyone know what caliper adapter I'd need to run a 203mm rotor? I see the mezzer is set up to take a 180mm rotor but I want to reuse my icetech 203mm Cheers
