    New bike adjustments?

    I'm having a minor prob with the chain or gearing on my brand new Vado 4. When I demonstrated the problem to my bf- trying to downshift to the 1st gear sounds and feels like it's not completing the shift- the chain actually fell off. We put it back on carefully, hoping to also fix the original...

    Chain, cassette, sprocket replace for 2019 FullSeven

    I have around 1100 miles on my 2019 FullSeven 9.0. I measured the chain with a digital caliper and it is time to replace. I ordered, sized and installed the new chain, and then found some pretty bad skipping. So, time to replace the cassette and chain ring also. Seems I was remiss in not...

    Are All Chains Alike?

    I think I'm going to need a chain soon for my Trek Allant+ 7S (with 1,164 miles) since it measures .50%. Yes, I know that Trek recommends the exact chain that comes with this bike (their brand or someone else's), but are there others that I should seriously consider to take its place? Thanks!

    Chains for rear hubs

    I'm looking to get an extra chain. Since I'm going to go with DIY wax lube, it'll be easier to batch them both at once. My understanding is that rear hub motors can use regular bike chains. Do any of you have any recs for reliable 8 speed chains? Any specific brands I should stay away from?

    Cassette / sprocket lubrication?

    Ok, I’m going to really show my nubie-ness here but I’ve just done my first de-grease of the chain and cassette (woohoo!) and applied Muck Off Chain lube (dry) but what do I lube the cassette with? They’re all clean and shiny (ish) but shouldn’t they have some stuff applied to them? I was going...

    Pedaling backwards

    In my Bosch Performance Line (Batavus Sella with Deore derailer), when I turn the crank backwards the chain stays in place. It's a strange feeling not encountered in previous bicycles I had. Is it normal or is it a defect? How serious if so? Otherwise the bike works perfectly.

    This is a new ebike 2 months old. Used on holiday done over 500 trouble free miles. The bike has recently started to drop the chain off the front chain ring. The problem is very intermittent. It seems to happen when I am slowing down or coming to a stop. The only thing I can see that is...
