Well I've had fun trying to get the steel ring out so I can replace the bearings! Just put the tool in the vice, slot the wheel onto it and turn anticlockwise is the internet method. Not an F ING chance of me getting enough purchase on the wheel too undo it. So I resorted to plan B and got the...

Hi all. I'm wondering what people are using to protect their cars bumper when sliding bikes in and out?. I currently lay a long peice of hardboard on the floor and the bike slides nicely along it. But I've got an old coat over the bumper for protection and was wanting something better. Ideas...

Are these lower bushes a standard size or do I have to get one specifically for the shock?. It's a mustache own shock but hopefully standard mounts.

Specifically the Tactic. It's my lads birthday and I was going to get him a new helmet. Seeing as I have a local specialist shop, it's going to make having to take it back a lot easier should it not fit right. There seems a few various model numbers, ranging from £45 (the amount I want to spend)...

Bummer, I've just returned from a couple of weeks mtbing in the Algarve on a hire bike and my bike has had a hissy fit because I left it at home! Are all error 500 codes terminal?. It's just under 3 years old with 4k miles on the clock.

I see they have gone tits up and are calling in the recievers 🤔 Market forces or cleverly filtered all the beer tokens away? Perhaps I am being to harsh on them 🤔

So I am experiencing the front wheel tucking under on low speed steep descents and dumping me on the deck. What I have altered is, Muller the back wheel and left the flip chip in its lower setting because I thought it would be better for recent Alps trip. I got thrown off three times yesterday...

Just remember fellow riders, that when you are passing motorists in Wales you have to give them 1.5 m of space. Don't fall foul of the law 🤣

Another question about my trip away. Can I take my bike on the plane without the battery? I was just going to stick it in the hold and say nothing, but my mate says I should check first. All well and good providing the answer is on the Internet. Its Manchester Airport security I need to ask but...

Advice please on insurance. I've got a couple of trips abroad this year. The main, most demanding one is to samoens in the swiss alps. I've just booked flights including my ebike minus the battery and now need some insurance. Preliminary quotes are around £500 and that's before I tell them I...

The bosch battery bodge 😬 After having to abandon the odd ride and once riding 6 miles without power, I started looking on the bay of thieves for a 500w power tube battery pack as an extender for my 625. Now as I have a gen 2 bike and 3 batteries I started fiddling. After a fair bit of sawdust...

Has anyone used this tool and is it any good? I have rimpact inserts with a pro front and an emtb rear. The rear is a total bitch to sort out and it's the only time in years that I have broken tyre levers. So I'm wondering if its worth investing in this tool or try spoons like the old days 😅...

I am trying to find a way of getting six ebikes to Portugal for a week later on this year. I know it will be easier to hire but I can only find crap hardtails. My mates have mainly obea's so taking batteries separately is not an option. Air is out of the question and sea transport has various...

Having a bit of a mare after an update. Currently trying to cycle north to South Wales and the bike is only giving me 19miles from a 100% 625 battery. Yesterday the 18mile ride got me back with 1mile left and today when I noticed the poor mileage I ended up with a borrowed bike. Any ideas if I...
