Just need some bikes now ! lol No stock.

So Leoncycles are sending me a new bottom bracket and a new shimano altus crankset ! I know i have fitted a new bracket ( they dont know that) but do they expect you to carry out the repair ?

It was the bracket, same crank arm is solid, no movement, no creeks, everything now fine.

Managed to do it no problems, cost me about £30 all in, took about 30 mins.

I went for this one https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-parts/gears-drivetrain-and-cables/vp-bc73-68-x-122.5-square-taper-cartridge-bottom-bracket-271445.html

Yes just noticed the other thread about loose crank, im going to change the bottom bracket, Halfords have one at £10 which has a lot of good reviews, £20 for the crank puller and bracket removal tool. I've emailed Leoncycles but dont know how they will feel about me doing it myself !

Hi, my left pedal crank keeps coming loose, started last week with a sort of creaking noise coming from crank, then noticed it getting a bit jerky and when i investigated discovered retaining bolt was loose so tightened it back up but next day it started again so i applied thread lock and...

Stock display in UK is limited to 15mph, that's why a lot of us buy the kit from Australia. You can change setting to 28mph but you only seem to able to get to 22mph. The kit from Aus also has a throttle which again we dont have in UK.

No the bikes Ncm sell in the UK are totally legal ! They have the correct restrictions in place. There are ways of bypassing these but that applies to a lot of ebikes. Anyway off subject, i agree that we need a UK shop for parts and accessories.

Check out the Ncm throttle thread, a few of us have used the Das kit from Australia, i have the normal Moscow and it works fine, you are just left with a spare connection which i just taped up. Here in UK the Max speed seems to be 22mph but it is still far better than the 15mph previously.

Yeah got the off road kit with throttle fitted, makes a difference.

My commute set up, managed to get small pannier with matching blue !

I dont think they even have anyone in the UK, all corrospondance comes from Germany.
