    Changing rear tyre - Turbo Vado 5 IGH

    In theorie when you do not move the dropouts than the tentoon should stay in the belt. Checking this with a gates tool is always preferred but in your case it is what it is.

    Yamaha Wabash RT Rack and Controller

    you must activate this port as a powersupply, if not than it is setup as a "slave" port for the diagnostic software. This was mentioned a few posts back. Thats the only trick to get it working. Yamaha has an "open" version for checking your bike with their sotfware, in this thread there is a...

    New PX line is finally uncovered prior to eurobike

    I feel lucky not to be there these days, way to much work at the moment and these floor days as a floor spokesman is really exhausting. And yes to many new things to get a grip on in your mind. downside is that I won't meet up with industry friends this year there. And there always a lot of...

    True Love in Color

    When I was working at a few bikeshops, also was the only one to bring my own tools. At a certain point you grow into a habbit with your own tools. And I really dislike drity/broken tools. These torque wrenches in this bag are just the backup ones. I usually grab my Geodore one, does left and right.

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    thats how the German dealers hoist even 3 wheeled cargo bikes. And yes, the bike can swing, you get used to it in a few hours working on bikes. At home I also work most of the time with PC 9 or 10. just because those are smaller to pack and I cannot hang a hoist in the apartments enclosed...

    Brake Pad Wear

    well. long weekend mountainbiking in the Namur (Be) region with nasty wet weather in the autumn would usually coast me a new pair of pads. While commuting or road cycling with panniers would do for a year of riding with a pair of pads. And yes, on the mtb tours, always bring a pair of already...

    JACKS FOR EBIKE?

    sure. these ones are for professional use. I just tried to point out that hoisting you bike in the air with a capable hoist should work fine. The one stated above starts at 145 euro for a home version and a professional one goes for 400 euro. You could build a simple version with rope rather...
