I now have to log in every time that I come onto the forum. Is this normal or is it just me?

Just got back from a holiday with basically no WiFi so been catching up with stuff on here and other places. If you have a couple of hours with nothing to do ( a long flight maybe , or perhaps you work for the UK Civil Service) , I can recommend the first few pages of a thread called ‘ Welcome...

I just put some new pedals on Bosch gen 4 and the pedals are the wrong way round . That is L pedal only fits on the right side and vice versa. The crank arms have never been taken off so does that mean that the bike was built like this? I never noticed this before. I tightened them up well but...

Perhaps he’s started having sex again 🤷‍♂️

Anyone got a spare one of these kicking about?. No-one in the UK has any in stock. Part no is 11.6218.044.000 . The lugs have snapped off, which means using cable ties. This is a high tech, cunningly designed item that ensures that after every ride you arrive home with at least 5 kg of mud...

After being banished to the garage because of Covid , and padding around looking for something to do, I inadvertently solved one of the last great unsolved riddles of the universe. Namely, what to do with IKEA chopping boards that were no longer usable. You take two of the boards and the wheels...

……….what would yours say? mine would say…’Aww, you’re not going to make me wear that fecking ugly mudguard for the next 6 months are you?

Anyone know if bridleways across Dartmoor are waymarked well enough to be able to ride solo without local knowledge? what is the terrain like at this time of year?

Could anyone tell me the part number on the back of 2021 Cube stereo hybrid 120 ( probably the same as 140 and 160) . The long cover that protects the battery. Frame is 18 inch, don’t know if that makes a difference.

Just been to get the bike ready to go out. No battery cover! Must have fallen off last time out and that was on nothing too rugged, mainly tarmac. Anybody else lost one and know where to get a replacement. Have bodged a cover out of an old mudguard for today but need to replace it ASAP.

There must be lots of these. Here’s mine (today). After failing to start a motorcycle yesterday to attend an MoT test, I spent most of today pretending I knew what I was doing, trying to get it running. Eventually it started, so I was crouching on my haunches listening to the engine running for...

Took the cover off my new Cube with gen4 motor, just to be nosy and see how much crap gets in there. There’s a cable which has been wrapped around the bolt which holds the cover on . Is it supposed to be like that to hold it in place or has it been trapped there on assembly? Doesn’t look right.

New bike day yesterday. Cube (29)with Bosch 625 and Purion. Been riding Haibike (27.5)with Yamaha 400 for over 3 years. On the road, I was surprised how quickly I was hitting the assistance cutout. Noticed that the Purion was consistently showing speed at 1.25 mph higher than the Garmin. Which...

So yesterday, I came off my bike. I collected 14 cuts and grazes ( 2 quite deep), a cricked neck, sprained wrist, bruised ribs, and a damaged helmet visor.So where did this happen, I hear you ask. The Alps?, Moab?, One of the UK’s most deadly black runs? No, it was the towpath of the Grand Union...

Now, I have no clue of what goes on inside the motor casing and the thought of actually opening it up fills me with dread. Lately, when pedalling, I have been getting a ‘tinkly’ kind of noise on the chainring side. Easy I thought, as I discovered some play in the pedal. New pedals fitted, but no...

A lot of you will know the feeling...... I’ve been riding nearly every day for the last few weeks. Recently, I have ridden more miles in a day than ever before and also more miles in a week than ever before. The local bridleways, farm tracks, and bits of single track in the woods have turned...

Haven’t been for a while, so what damage has the weather done to the Dog and Monkey?

Anyone bought a third party battery, in particular a Yamaha 500 battery from the likes of Allbatteries? If so, what do you think of it? Any problems?

I have recently joined the Forum ‘old gits with injuries’ section, which seems to be thriving. I’m getting physio for a torn rotator cuff [ shoulder] and have been looking online at a Powerball gyroscopic exercise thingy which is supposed to aid recovery. Anyone tried it and does it work ...

Swapping out the fork on my cheapo Haibike which has tapered head and straight steerer tube. Watching the ‘tutorials’ on YouTube, it seems a simple job to take the crown race from the old Suntour fork and put it on the new Rockshox. It wouldn’t move so took it to lbs who tried their puller on it...
