you changed the bike's controller so in order to connect Flow to your bike you need to start from scratch with the pairing process. To do that the existing blutooth pairing in your phone needs to be deleted.

air pressure is too low then

because it depends if you fit the quick link on the lower or upper run of the chain. When fitted on the lower run the arrow points towards the mech......on the upper run the arrow ( now the other side of the quick link) points towards the chainwheel Q.E.D.

virtually any brake set up will lock up a rear wheel on a loose descent and traction is mostly down to how much weight is on the back wheel. If the bike centre of mass..fore and aft.....is more forward you can only compensate by moving your rider weight further back on the bike.....and making...

Back brake on steep descents is always going to be that way because rider and bike weight is pushed forward on the bike....and applying the back brake increases that forward weight. One answer is to make more use of the front brake preferably together with the back brake. You can also help...

Same!! I have never seen a hub with a continuous sleeve sitting between 2 end caps. I can only assume the sleeve rotates on a bearing each side, but as you say the bearings must be pretty small especially on the front wheel. I would still use the method I talked a bout to lever off at least one...

One other thing to check with tow bar mounted bike racks is maximum permiitted load.....not just for the rack but also nose weight on the tow ball. i have confirmed with my intended tow bar supplier that all the tow bars they install exceed the specification for the car's maximum nose weight. So...

What date is that bike show?

Ok so if what I referred to as a spacer is indeed a continuous sleeve going from end cap to end cap, consider how the sleeve plus end caps are assembled in the first place. The sleeve would be inserted and then each end cap attached. The grease you refer to is where the end cap finishes. So the...

he will need a passport :p

I believe @VWsurfbum is right....and you may be misunderstand the construction of a hub.....any hub. There is no axle in a hub!! Inside the hub casing there is a bearing towards each end. In your hub ( at least on the sides you photographed) there is a spacer between the end cap and the...

As above some photos may help to let folk on here give some ideas. I don't understand how the caps you refer to form part of the hub if they have no hole in them to allow a thru axle to pass through the hub!!

If they will not pull off they may be threaded ( despite having no hex etc) . Try using some mole grips with a piece of rubber or similar to protect them and provide grip. if they are in fact just push fit end caps, rather than trying to pull them off, if they have a hole in them try levering...

your final point re clearance between bumper and top hitch is one that I also considered had been overlooked on tow bar online fitting services so rather than just booking online I send an email to request confirmation that whatever tow hitch was fitted would fit OK with my Thule rack

thanks for the tips Steve. The Epos 2 does not use jaw clamps but rather steel reinforced rubber ratchet straps (lockable) so I hope that proves to be a better fixing method.

thanks both. I suspect as you have said the Scorpion will do the job. In fact both myself and my son are in need of bike racks and he will buy the Scorpion based on your feedback. .....however I found a good deal on the Thule so I have decided to go for that one for myself. It will be...

the TCU is the system controller so should work straight away......you may have to use mission control once installed to update the details of your components.

Suspect tcu is knackered then

I am considering fitting a toe bar to my BMW and then using tow bar mounted bike rack. I intend carrying 2 EMTBS. Looking at options I have short listed 2 racks and I am wondering if anyone here has experience of either one to help me decide. Option 1: Thile EPOS 2 bike carrier Option 2...
