On mine you have to fulky oprn the lever to sit in the slot to be able to turn the axle, which means when it tightens you have to guess the torque so it will be tight when you close the lever. I havent noticed the other side, I'll have a look. Is that the screw?

I first discovered ebikes in Austria, the hotel had a brand new one you could use. Came home and built a Frankenstein bike, all my mates were mocking it. Now theyve all got one. It all started cos Im a lazy duck

I had another problem, just had a look at the axle and I couldnt undo it, the notch isnt strong enough to withstand the undoing force because I tightened it unfastened and started to buckle, I had to use grips on the collar.

How do you undo it?

Trumpy uses these announcements for bargaining, his whole life is 'the deal', he wrote a book about the art of it. Im pretty sure the actual reality will be far less harmful......crosses toes.

This is Whitby, I visit often, its very goth all year round, mainly because its derelict Abby was the inspiration for Dracula. They have a huge goth meet, though it seems a bit more steampunky halloween to me..

I was having trouble lining it up, bearing in mind I was next to a 100ft drop into sea, to make it tight enough it was pointing forwards, its a bit fiddly because as you screw it in using the notch, the lever ends up jammed in the notch and you have bend it out to to release it, which tightens...

Just to clarify, mine is a thru axle with a QR similar to a seatpost clamp.

I had mine come loose twice, pretty extreme terain, I think jt might have opened the QR on a passing rock. Ended up just hand tightening and leaving QR open.

Ive still got a vintage Tamiya buggy in the loft, keep meaning to battery it up. Just looked for an image and found one for 350 quid on ebay, thats the exact one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276206609454

My friends did a christmas ride to Chester, its a bout 50m I think, both on pedal fatties, they found it pretty easy, but had pumped the tyres to around 30psi. The tyres are actually quite light, but 30psi kinda negates the very purpose of the tyre. If you want to offroad and on road, 2.6 is the...

Fatties are surprisingly light, and you're forgetting their greatest trick. They float!

Yes, but they are very good at getting forward traction on loose gravel and climbing shale rock, there is a lot of that in the Lake District near me and I climb things an ordinary tyre would insta fail at. They also spread the load on grass, causing much less damage and getting grip while...

Almost december innit

Grudzień to miesiąc zawiły, czasem srogi, czasem miły.

You dont want fat tires on the road, they follow road ridges terribly, completely lose grip if theres mud on the road and without suspension they start buckarooing and of course increased drag.

On my other bike, round holes in the rim.

UK weather falls off a cliff. At my mothers house tonight.

Ooh, I love bridges. That must have been an awesome holiday, endless cultural surprises.

Ive actually inflated a tyre pretty hard with no tape, just the inner tube, it bulged a bit out of the holes, but only about 1cm.
