    Ticking Bosch Gen4 Motor

    Could be 'ticking' when a bearing on the outer drive side of the motor gets side loaded.

    Clik Valves

    The Cycplus As2 Pro comes with a short tube (3") which screws into the pump, and the other end is Schrader. So bought Schwalbe Schrader to Cik upgrade kit which includes a Schrader pump adapter. Screwed the Schrader pump adapter on the end of the short tube and pump works fine with Clik valves...

    I destroyed my motor by attempting an out of warranty service at home. I know.

    A necessary requisite is the ability to admit that one doesn't know everything and to admit that when one is wrong and thus able to learn from mistakes.

    Electric mini pumps, do you use them?

    This thread cost me money 'cos just bought 2 x Cycplus As2 Pro pumps to carry on my and my wife's bikes. Now have to fit adapters for the new Clik valves on the bikes. Then it's bye-bye hand pumps and CO2 inflators.

    Burstner motorhome for sale

    Initially read that as "Now looking for a VW T6, or a new bike, or a hot rod or maybe a shed load of beer or maybe another wife ..." :LOL:

    What did you do to your EBike this week?

    Removed the Muc-Off Big Bore Lite valves and replaced them with Schwalbe Clik valves on our wheelsets and pumps. This link explains why did this: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/clik-valves.41720/post-694579

    Clik Valves

    Also recall some issues with the Presta Big Bores which the new design might have addressed, but unfortunately did exactly the opposite for my Topeak Joe Blow Mountain X. Not doing Muc-Off's R&D. Simples.

    Clik Valves

    Bought another pair of Muc-Off Big Bore Lite valves for a spare set of wheels. Absolutely could not make the pump work (Topeak Joe Blow Mountain X Floor Pump with Twin Head DX5). Was like a valve was completely closed. Took an old Muc-Off Big Bore Lite valve off another wheel, and it worked...

    Any recommendations for sturdy but lightweight long trousers (trails, forest riding etc.)?

    For her last birthday my personal seamstress (aka wife) wanted a nice sewing machine to replace the ancient Singer that was originally her Mum's. Was happy to oblige her with the Janome machine that she wanted. For sentimental reasons can't chuck the old Singer of course.
