I can recommend the Joe Blow booster pump - expensive but it certainly feels like a quality item. Great for tubeless. https://www.topeak.com/global/en/product/1322-JOEBLOW-BOOSTER

@MartsEbike Ah that's rough, I would be tempted to ask for a new bike at this stage as my confidence in that particular one would be shot. I can't be alone in wanting to know what the the actual cause of the issue is though.

Can I ask why you do not use the motor? Seems odd to pay double the price and carry 5 kg of extra weight and complexity each ride.

I know exactly what you mean. Running shorts in the summer and tracksuit bottoms in the winter for me.

It must be me but I really dislike the way SKS Speedrockers look on the bike from the photos. I bought the SKS X-Blade and I think it suits the aesthetics of the bike perfectly. Takes 20 secs to fit and unfit as well.

🤔 you know what? I would like to have the choice

Canyon Roadlight:ONfly CF9 LTD looks a competitor - Carbon frame, Fazua 60, Eagle AXS, 14.5kg, £4649

I would like to know how to do that. In summer I felt a bit of a dork having lights on with no way of switching them off. Less of a problem now it is winter I must admit.

@MartsEbike Did you get a Vado SL manual along with the springs? I rarely read manuals but just took a look at what came with the bike and it is a Vado manual not a Vado SL. No wonder it did not come with springs - looks as though I was given the wrong spares case :(

Bought a 80W 2 foot tubular heater with a thermostat that I fixed to the lower part of the wall that the bike leans on. I also got a heavy duty heat reflective blanket that i hang from the wall over the bike. The tube gets really hot to the touch so I will just chuck away the ineffective...

The problem is that the heating mat just doesn't work in low temperatures ie does not even get slightly warm. Move it into the house where it is more ambient and it switches on. Hopefully the tubular heater will not be as temperamental. I have bought a heat reflective blanket that I can cover...

Hey not your fault. I researched this fairly thoroughly and got a 45W one as in theory this should be more than sufficient if wrapped around the frame. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08HPDTPDW?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It's weird though, bring it in the house and I can feel the...

I bought one of those seedling heating mats and wrapped it around the battery. Complete waste of money as the mat will warm up if it is above 10 degrees (ie if it is indoors) but anything below that and it does not even get warm to the touch. Got a thermometer with min and max readings and it...

Indeed. My bike workouts rarely last more than 40 mins so shorts are perfectly fine for that kind of duration. If I need it for shopping or commuting then casual wear is perfectly comfortable I find. I am not planning on sweating so that is what the turbo setting is for :)

I got the small as I am a EU 43 and they seem perfectly sized for me. Great pedals though, one of those purchases where you cannot see yourself buying any different in the future. I will be in the market for some clip-ins as an alternative in the new year though. I have another bike holiday in...

Looks like extra DiskDrive rotors are $520 :eek: They had a USP with the ability to move the device effortlessly between bikes but if it costs that much to make a bike compatible they might have priced themselves out of the market.

Damn, I don't remember getting those with mine 🤔 I also bought mine from Balfes by the way and had it delivered like yours. Mine was shockingly set up so I hope you had better luck than I did.

Congrats! You might need to adjust the angle of those handlebars though - try a few different angles. If it seems good as it is then maybe adjust the angle of the front light.

As suspected the derailleur had not been adjusted at all on setup. I went to my local bike shop to do the fitting as I hate doing anything mechanical these days. Sadly, they are just not very good. I vowed to stop using them earlier this year but I could not find anyone else that could schedule...
