    Pedals making a crunchy/clicky sound yet spin smoothly. Salvageable?

    My bottom bracket on my go-to spins freely and yet clicks. It's knackered. It will fail at some point. I can't be bothered to change it just yet, but that's life.

    Pedals making a crunchy/clicky sound yet spin smoothly. Salvageable?

    They are called worn out pedals that will spin freely with no weight but when you put 12 stone on them they won't spin freely and if you put the wrong shoes on you will slip off them because they've no grip left anyway and break yourself, your shin will look like mine. Bin them and buy some DMR...

    eBay To Block Sale of E-Bikes

    That article comments page has someone mention scooters and hoverboards too, which I think should come under the same rules, but where do you draw the line? Even Dewalt had an incident; https://www.protoolreviews.com/dewalt-prototype-lawn-mower-catches-fire/

    XTR M952 Short Cage - Maximum Rear tooth capacity

    I believe that is the tooth difference. For instance here there is a difference of 45 teeth.

    Peak Cheapness?

    A lot of people - not very high. That's what I think when I'm riding along at night looking at people in their front rooms watching Emmerdale anyway, throwing their lives away.

    Peak Cheapness?

    I bought an M739 equipped bike a few weeks ago for £115, picked up on way home from work. Sold the crank, skewers, rear mech and V brakes which has got me my £115 back. Now I've got the rest of the bits needed to build my Bravado which will cost me nothing but the initial frame plus a new...

    eBay To Block Sale of E-Bikes

    Haha😊, that is a very good point and one I overlooked when I typed my 2p worth, what I really think is why? Is this geared towards their new free to sell idea? Is this just the beginning and ultimately they will roll out the rule over other categories too? So more people will have to register as...

    new car chat

    We have a Ceed, 71plate 1.0 petrol. It's ok but nothing exciting. Has an on/off ignition gremlin when you work it hard but just need to stick a new coil pack on. Bought it to replace our 2017 Fiesta ST-Line 1.0 which was a brilliant little car. Owned that for 6 years and 65k. We've had a 2011...

    Good - lots of them are dangerous in terms of speed, charging packs etc Bad - who on earth are they to tell people what they can/can't sell. Unless it's against the law? Ugly - they will still set people's houses on fire and kill the occupants.
