was just hoping for something a bit more elegant.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Gates belt drive.

good bump on this; how do i tell when the belt is worn and needs replacing? i assume chainring and cog also need replacing at same time? I am at 5k km

To be honest I have yet to see one that was worn out through mileage alone. If it doesn't have bits missing or looks dodgy I wouldn't worry about it for at least 10k more. I'm at 7.7k and have no intention of changing mine.
Anecdotally the 2 warranty jobs we had at work were on almost new ones.

ah good! thank you.

It's much easier to do a good job if you take the chain off. That makes giving the rest of the drivetrain a good clean easier as well. I find giving the chain an initial degrease and wipe to get most of the crap off, then leaving it wrapped in a rag soaked in degreaser for a bit makes getting it really clean much easier as well.

The axel nut and no turn washer has fallen off the non drive side of my enviolo hub. What a pain in the arse. I should prob get a service.

What in tarnation is this contraption?

Hows that happened 😅

Pointless?

The owners a fuckwit is my bet

If you're running the stock tires, I wouldn't go above 45psi. Gets a bit bouncy.

They wear as a set. You can flip the belt (4 ways remember) about every 2 to 3k and you'll see 10k out of it no bother. Would admit the best with belts is to flip them when you get around to it and ride them to death, teeth start going missing at an increasing rate = time to replace. Your can loose a few teeth tbh or partial teeth and it's not the end of the world. A clear advantage over chains where they tend to just decide to have a cracked link or failed pin

Is it cold enough for trews yet? Love this Justlong, would love to strip it down and make a weird looking fast road bike out of it

AI generated image would be an explanation.

Can you explain the other ways?
I can only think of flipping it back to front.

Not sure where to put this, but it’s relevant to this thread.
If you ever went down the tunnel under new beckenham station on a cargo bike to get through to beckenham place park, you can’t now.

Found that out the easy way yesterday, glad I didn’t do it the hard way.

Let's stick a fake ULEZ camera on those barriers, hopefully they'll get chopped down.

Or blown up

It just means you have to be part of the traffic even more.
WHICH IF ANYONE KNOWS BECKENHAM AND LOWER SYDENHAM is not something you think "you know, this isn't bad".

yeah thats been doing rounds on LCC groups .. terrible but then again what do you expect from a cuntish council like Bromley?
