@VWsurfbum You sent a WOW! to the above post. It was the Goretex Paclite jacket and trousers. The jacket looked great; the trousers less so as they were very baggy. When I wore the jacket in cold and wet conditions, just walking about, it was great, worked a treat, the water just rolled off. But...

I too prefer to use a windproof that has a DWR coating (Durable Water Resistant). It is showerproof for long enough to matter and the breathability is always better than a proper waterproof jacket. As others have commented, it is essential that the DWR coating is maintained. The jacket needs to...

Try these: Get a long bolt that has the same thread as No.4, or just a piece of threaded shaft. Screw that into No 3 and push out No 3. It sounds like No 3 is stuck to the inner race of the bearing No. 2. If you use a bearing removal tool, can you push it out that way? Be careful not to...

I have tried Goretex and have been very disappointed with it. Yes, it's waterproof, but the breathability is poor. Like others have said on here, I got wetter from within. I have poured sweat from the sleeves of my Goretex jacket. I believe that Goretex must spend more on Marketing than they do...

20 or 30 cms? That is 8-12", you must mean 20-30mm.

Welcome to the Forum Chris. :) Is it safe to assume that the bike you are just getting back onto is an emtb?

The only meaning I can get for "coal stone" is some type of combustible material, which is unlikely for the construction of a road. But the material dug out that is not coal and is considered as waste; discarded from coal mines all over the world would be suitable. I wonder if it is a...

There's miles in that yet! (y)

Consider it a bonus learning!

Flexible straps for making CERTAIN that my bike does not come off the bike rack. Gear Tie® Mega Twist Tie 32 in. £9.99 each I needed the 32" version, the next smallest would not have been enough.

One day left and it is still in warranty! Get your claim in and get the date lodged.

Same place as everyone else. But from there the brake hose should go between the fork and the wheel to get to the caliper.

I know it's an unwelcome shock, but €700 doesn't sound too bad, for a replacement motor, fitted. How quickly can they do it and for how long do they need the bike? I'm assuming that the bike is more than 2 years old.

In the beginning....(2008) on my first mtb, a Kona Kula hardtail, and on my very first ride after an "Introduction to MTB" course. The first time I tried riding down a hill with my arse firmly planted on the saddle was my last ride for several weeks! I was going as fast as I dared, probably...

It's an idea worth promoting. It will also provide a Brexit benefit to all the e-bike owners out there.

SGS Engineering have an excellent and wide range of well-designed and well-made toolboxes. They can be combined easily. Tool Chests | Tool Boxes, Storage & Chests for Sale UK | SGS They are self-assembly, but it's an easy job and the bits are all quality kit. Here is mine. It comprises a top...

Fixed it for you.

To all those trying a Shimano EP8 for the first time, please be aware that you can tune the motor with your phone, or the dealer can do it if it's a test ride (it's that quick). The range of tuning makes an astonishing difference. I met a rider called @Davvee who was on his new Nukeproof. He was...

When tubeless tyres first came out, I bought proper tubeless tyres, ie UST (Univeral System Tubeless) ones to suit my Mavic rims (the inventors of UST). I had zero problems and had no problems with steady leaks either. Sealant was not necessary to keep the tyre up, the rim/tyre combo did that...

My first thought was that it looks like a commuter bike. I Googled e-spresso and got this: The Merida e-spresso range is the "ebike for around town" according to Merida. https://www.merida-bikes.com/en-gb/bikefinder/tag/espresso-62 So. it's most likely an earlier model, judging by the bolt...
