    Pedal strikes

    I'm more worried about damage to the motor than I am about the battlescars! All that force goes straight into the crank tube & motor mechanism?

    Pedal strikes

    I had a few clangers this morning - directly into the rhs crank arm. Bad enough to score the alloy! Is this something I should be worried about?

    Unanswered Best tow bar bike rack

    Thule easybase 949. That's what I have. With fiamma bike rails. With the rails off and the Thule travelbag it's also handy for carting the camping gear and awning around.

    Another Tyre question

    I have rekon+ front and rear. I'm still getting used to the bike, but I was surprised at just how much it moved around in the wet last week. My enduro experience (on a motorcycle) means I'm not too bothered by a bit of sliding, but it really was all over the place. I almost low-sided a few...

    Thule bike carrier

    I posted almost the same question, albeit regarding a Thule easybase 949 :D Thule fat bike adapter

    Thule bike adapters for an easybase 949

    I thought I'd ask here; I already have a thule 949 easybase towbar mounted carrier for my transit camper. It came with the bike adapter rails & wheel clamps - but they're not big enough for the 2.8 inch recon+ tyres on my Jam2. I was wondering if anyone here knows of bigger wheel clamps...

    Morning All and Hi from South Wales

    Croeso. Maybe we'll bump into each other at BPW at some point. I haven't been yet but I hear it's awesome.

    Sold Focus Jam2 Plus Ltd £2000

    I snaffled it and I'm absolutely loving it. Glad I blew my used bike budget by £500 :D

    Here's what I want to be able to travel with my eBike

    They'd definitely charge something for the additional mass. I doubt they'd let you take it into the cabin, so it'd have to be checked in. You'd definitely need to phone / email ahead.

    Here's what I want to be able to travel with my eBike

    I have one of those - an ex Netherlands army / Nato ammunition case, which I use to store my RC lipos. It's big enough to store an E-bike battery, but weighs a few KG....

    replacement spare wheelsets

    Well, that's 3 innertubes ruined at 10 quid a pop... either pinched under the head & ripped or punctured by a lever. No riding for me tonight (or tomorrow!).

    Warranty transfer? Is this normal?

    Yeah, private purchase. The seller included all the original paperwork.

    Warranty transfer? Is this normal?

    The original owner of my Focus Jam2 purchased it new from Rutland Cycling in January this year - it's just over 3 months old. So in theory, there should be 21 months of warranty left? Apparently not! After enquiring with Focus bikes on FB, Focus will only acknowledge warranty claims in the...

    replacement spare wheelsets

    I wasn't really concerned about width, other than ensuring they actually fitted the rims. I think I opted for the widest size chain reaction cycles did in 27.5. They are just about wide enough with no noticeable 'baloon', which is disappointing; I love the look of fat slicks ? I'll look at...

    replacement spare wheelsets

    Finally got the rear tyre on. Was pretty easy in the end. The Halfords stand is bloody handy too. The look kind of reminds me of a furry dog that's been for a swim ?

    replacement spare wheelsets

    Yeah, I was going about it totally the wrong way :D Handy tip about partially inflating the inner tube too. Less chance of pinching.

    replacement spare wheelsets

    Thanks guys. I think the pain of doing them is still not worth shelling out £150+ for a spare set of wheels :D Admittedly it was cold in my garage. I'm sure that was a factor. I used to have the same problem swapping over Kart Tyres when I was racing; I ended up buying a clarke little devil...
