Hi Rob, not sure if it's just me but the links on the weekly email won't work on my PC. It's ok on mobile. Just wondered why or if anyone else has had a problem.
Don't think the sealant actually blocks the valve core Steve, I think it maybe hardens the valve seal and if you haven't added air for a while it seems to stick open. All I know is I've had a tyres that have stayed up for months then suddenly deflate after topping up(with air).
Probably only check before big riding days or holidays. One thing I and my mates have been caught out on is the valve. It seems that Stans ( don't know about other makes) does limit the life of the valve seal. Several times I have topped the air pressure before a ride and a few hours later...
I may be wrong but I seem to remember reading an article on Melatonin that said Pistachio nuts are loaded with the stuff and you only need a small handful to get a good dose. Maybe better than tablets?
Gary, from memory we paid about £100 for bikes (Jet2.com were £75) plus £15 for luggage and £20 for insurance. Nice travelling through airports with only a carryon.
In an earlier post I mentioned that a group of us were going to Andulacia in Spain. I wanted to take my e-bike and as we were a group of 16 we were unlikely to all get on the plane together with bikes. I looked at bike couriers and finally settled on Sherpr. They picked up all our bikes and...
As I mentioned earlier couldn't get into new battery with Bluetooth, LBS had no luck either so had another battery now all ok. Have to applaud Specialized the way they replace stuff but also wonder is there a known fault?
Had a bit of trouble with one, even with a compressor. A luggage strap around the outside cured that however, thanks to someone on goggle for that idea.
Interesting point, just wondered if public liability is likely to be more for an e-bike? Also do you need to tell the insurance company that it's a e-bike, it's probable that the person you are talking to on the phone is unlikely to know much about bikes. Give them a chance and they will...
Put a Specialized Hillbilly 2.6 on front for the mud, which works really well, I find a bit more pressure helps with driving the lugs into the mud for grip. Otherwise use the standard Butchers that came with the bike.
