    front brake squeaks when unengaged. Any idea what might be the cause?

    best thing to do is pull the pads, check that the rotor is running central in the calliper adjust if necessary, check that the rotor isn't bent slightly try and straighten if necessary, put the pads back in, if you've moved the caliper you may need to push the pistons back slightly, pull the...

    New Santa Cruz model

    I really don't know how you come to this conclusion the frame doesn't look very different to many bikes that have this format of linkage and shock placement, i'm sure this layout was about 10years ago but so was the layout on this santa cruz, to me your just being a brand snob!

    New Santa Cruz model

    santa cruz has lost there way, they got rid of the one thing that made there bike unique apart from crestline, now it just looks like say a lightcarbon bike! the shimano motor was killing there brand before, the ep801 is actually pretty sound apart from being able to service it and now they've...

    Advice Needed for First Ebike

    Hi, I can only give you some information regarding the shimano ep801 motor, obviously shimano warranties motors within the first 2 years, like i think all the motor brands do providing you have the original receipt, outside of this two year period, if its not long outside this period then there...

    Shimano EP8 Rubbing/Vibration feeling

    yes i have noticed this on my ep801, at a certain cadence and load (mid to high) you get a vibration through the pedals it goes into what feels like a resonant frequency. I don't think its anything to worry about.

    Autoshift on the Shimano XT di2 + EP801

    I don't think autoshift has been that well received by the mtb community, Especially by experienced mtber's, there the one that are likely to buy a top end bike. Its almost seen like its a feature for novice riders, or it doesn't really work well enough for people to thoroughly use it. I wonder...

    Anyone recommend a decent value low range torque wrench?

    A love wera tools and their torque wrench can be had for £140 on its own, i'm just not sure i want to spend that much on something that does make my bike better and one at least half the price can do the same job.

    Anyone recommend a decent value low range torque wrench?

    Can anyone recommend a good value low range torque wrench something in the 2-24nm range or somewhere around that. Spotted this one on planet x, reviews well but put off by the fact that it says silent operation, thought being able to hear a click when hitting the torque makes sense...
