A quick Post regarding Derestricted / Chipped EBikes in the Workshop

Ill be honest, I've turned a blind eye in the past due to older Ebikes not having a great deal of Power, but with the newer Avinox bikes (& Gen5 Bosch) the Power is getting crazy!

My Insurance only covers me to work on UK Legal EBikes (15.5mph / 25kph assisted top speed), which means anything that's been Derestricted or Chipped to increase the assisted top speed above the 15.5mph / 25kph limit, I'm not covered.

Unlikely, but if I knowingly worked on a Derestricted / Chipped EBike & the customer had an accident due to my negligence or any parts that I'd fitted, I wouldn't be covered & if that customer was to claim against me, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on!

I don't have any issues if folk want to Derestrict or Chip their EBikes, but if they come into the Workshop they need to have the 15.5mph / 25kph limit at that time

Cheers

Found a few old Biking / Racing pics & Results in my folks loft this evening.
Nemba / Karrimor British Open Series - Bingley, West Yorkshire 1996 !
I've had the Number Board up on the Workshop wall for ages, but won't have seen these pics for a good while.
First 2 pics are me riding a Cannondale M800
Second 2 pics are of a pal Al Noblet, who ended up 4th Overall in the series
Last 2 pics are of a pal George Tilleard
I can mind it was an absolute mire up & seeing as I was riding a fully rigid bike, with 3 rings up front & 1.9" tyres I was still able to pedal trough the propper muddy bits, whereas the quick lads on full suss bikes, big rings & big tyres struggled, that's the only reason I managed to come 16th 😁

**********************

Raffle time!

Your chance to win a Hope Evo V6 Ti brakeset, number 209 of 1000 (plus a £100 donation to your chosen Mountain Rescue Team)

150 Tickets @ £10 per Ticket

These are ideally suited to E-Bikes, DH or Enduro Bikes, but if you win them you can fit them to anything you want 😂
Fitment wise, due to the design of the Caliper & Mounts a +20mm Disc is required, so if your frame / fork has a 180mm Post Mount the smallest disc you can run is a 200mm, or if its 200mm Post Mount you need to run a 220mm disc.
The set includes 2x 220mm discs, I'm sure I could sort some 200mm discs if needed. 6 Bolt Only!

£10 per ticket
Each Ticket will be allocated a random number between 1 & 150 & once all the Tickets are sold, ill add a list of everyone's Name & Number in the comments section of this Post then make the draw on Facebook Live using an online random number generator.

Payment via Bank Transfer / PayPal (Friends & Family) or Cash dropped off at the workshop

Send me a message via Facebook or Instagram with how manyTickets you want & I'll pass on Payment details, please don't Text or WhatsApp, as its a nightmare trying to keep on top of it all, also please don't send any payments without sending me a message first.

I think that's everything covered?
Any questions, please ask

Last thing, this competition is not endorsed by or has any connection to Hope Technology, Facebook or Instagram

Good luck folks 👍

Hello folks, we really want to join the troops in wigton supporting the tour of Britain as it passes through the town by displaying a load of our fancy bikes - but we need a van!

Can anybody help?
The bigger the better! LWB sprinter or Luton kind of size. With trailer would be even better but I know we’re pushing it 🤣

We would need to get there around 10am and return to Watchtree after 2pm.

Give us a shout if you think you can help.

Well, here was me hoping for a nice quiet week to ease myself back in ... nope !!
Started Monday morning with an empty diary & had 8 bikes in by the afternoon & bookings kept on coming, probably got around 1 1/2 week waiting list for any jobs being booked in from now.
All kinds in this week, MTBs, EMTBs, Road Bikes, Touring Bikes, bent Steerer tubes, Snapped Motor bolts, Missing Hub end caps, seized XD Cassette plus the Pump on my parts washer died, Machine Mart don't carry spares so had to buy a complete Parts Washer, you can't really manage without one!!
I could do with some time off 😂
Cheers folks 👌
