I was the opposite to you as rim was fine, but the labour to re lace the wheel and new bearing was not worth it. I...

    My Emtb life ( Ongoing Blog ): Current bike: Haibike Sduro Hardseven 2.5

    Why don’t you get a hope wheel and hub I think you can get for about 260 built. Then if you have any other problems you can get hub parts really easy as that will be next thing to fail as oem parts on lower budget Models are rubbish. There are other brands that do wheels to but I found hope to...

    My other half has this bike and is loverly apart from the suspension I rode it yesterday and the forks felt like they are made of wood. I am sure it was not like that when she got it. She is Pretty light and only rides it very cautiously. Bike has only done 300 miles I might let bike shop...

    Introducing the new Cannondale Moterra & Moterra LT

    Thanks for sharing. When I saw the headline I thought oh no my bike is going to be out of date now. after watching it I am glad I have a 21 model at least my bike is carbon and they seem to have lowered the spec apart from new motor and battery made the bike even more mellow.

    Thule EasyFold XT arm clamp position

    I had the same issue only way could get the first bike on was to clamp around the shock which I did not think was a good idea. I always used to recommend Thule, but there customer service is shocking, they was not interested as purchased from halfords in the end I bought a longer arm and moded...

    Hardseven 5 fork upgrade

    I think you could 10 to 20 mm no problem as you are ajusting the geo on your bike by having longer travel. You may be able to adjust the travel On the fork to closer to what you are running now. I am sure that someone on here will be able to give you better advice than me. But if they are only...

    2022 Motors Compared (Video)

    I appreciate it is quite difficult to do an exact comparison but for me there was to many variables. The giant bike would have almost be locked out suspension, so would have made more than a second difference easily. I have never rode a giant bike so could not say 100% I have only rode the...

    Bosch CX vs EP8 - real world differences?

    I have Bosch motor in my bike and my partners bike has ep8. The bosch feels much more powerful, and power is instant on the Bosch where I find the EP8 needs more cadence to get best out of it. The EP8 feels more natural and is easier to wheelie, but the Bosch feels much more powerful. On the...
