    Which courier for shipping a boxed ebike within the UK?

    I need to ship a bike that's fully boxed in a normal bike box. I've used Paisley in the past but after speaking to them this morning they say that they won't ship e-bikes. I find this odd because it fits within their size and weight requirements for a bicycle and e-bikes among a lot of other...

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    Just a thought, I've always put my sealant in with the valve at the 3 o'clock position so any sealant I'm putting in is falling down to the 6 o'clock position on the wheel so it can't just fly up and start sealing the valve, especially as there is no air pressure in the tyre at that point. The...

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    🤣 Figured. That's how I do mine, tyre on, no sealant, valve core out. Pop the bead with some kind of tubeless inflater or whatever, let the air out, and sealant through the valve, insert valve core, inflate normally, shake the wheels around, go ride.

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    You removed the valve core right? 🤔🤣 I mean, of course you did, you'd have trouble getting any type of sealant actually through the valve core. I should think before I reply.

    Can that mini remote replace the LED remote entirely? EDIT/ Nevermind, no it can't 😡

    Newmen wheels tubeless

    Mine hold pressure fine with the standard blue rim tape, Rimpact valves and Peaty's Holeshot sealant. Initially they went down slowly overnight but that's because I didn't have time to ride the bike right away after doing the conversion. I've always found that a ride and a bounce around right...

    Does anyone know accurately what the eBay fees are for selling a bike nowadays?

    Thanks. Already on Pinkbike, Gumtree and Facebook. I've priced it exactly where it fits in in the market place but haven't had any takers yet. I won't get into the details here because this isn't the for sale section but when I listed it this morning on eBay it was the cheapest of that make...

    Does anyone know accurately what the eBay fees are for selling a bike nowadays?

    Good tip. I get an 80% offer email about once every two weeks but I'll also check the website. I actually have that offer activated now so I listed the bike for sale this morning.

    Should i have used Carbon Paste on headset bearing cup?

    My headset on my old '20 Cube Stereo 160 creaked, I fitted a new headset with carbon paste and it was silent afterwards with no issues. Granted I can't tell you if the paste alone fixed it because I put a new headset in as well but I can say the paste caused no issues.

    Does anyone know accurately what the eBay fees are for selling a bike nowadays?

    Has anyone here sold a bike recently on eBay so can give an accurate answer? As far as I can see ebay no longer do the Classified listing thing so my only choice is Buy Now or Auction. Once every couple of weeks eBay send me the 80% off of Final Value fees so I'm pretty sure I can use that as...

    Steering knock blocks

    I was thinking of machining a spacer to go under the bottom of the headtube somewhere but you have to wonder why they've designed it like that in the first place, a different fork crown shape would solve it too. Obviously the geo would be affected if you dropped the forks by 15 or 20mm or...

    Steering knock blocks

    Yeah I figured that's what would have happened, not technically concerning as at the end of the day headset cups are just pressed into the frame without anything holding them rotationally so of course they will rotate if forced. Gripper paste may help to a degree but the cups will still move...

    Some of the Cubes use an ACROS AZF-1035 headset that has the built in 120° lock, so maybe worth trying to find some images of that to give you an idea of what might have happened.
