components manufacturer: Replacement Araya Rear Wheel Spokes

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 07:39:08 -0700

Trying to repair a ~40yo GT Talera MTB. Not sure which components are original.

Pardon my inability to speak "bike". Wasn't planning on another "hobby".

Wheel says "Araya Japan 26x1.50 HE VP-20".

rear wheel, 2 spokes broken (both "heads" missing), 1 inside and 1 outside spoke (so different lengths). Don't have correct measuring tool for J-bend length measurement. Web says 260 mm and 262 mm.

1. I can find 260 mm on amazon.

2. I CAN'T find any 262 mm??? Do I have correct lengths?

3. Any specific tools I should add to cart when somebody solves the 262 problem and I can buy something? I haven't looked too hard at the spoke install yet.

Hello. I was changing the disc brake oil. And it was my first time. Split on the disk. And after 1 day it's making loud noise. I should clean it with disk brake cleaner? Or with wet towel?

MiJia QiCycle Folding Electric Bike: Can't charge anymore the battery

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:08:43 -0700

Hello,

I’ve just bought the Xiaimo QiCycle bike, and I was so happy of my purchase.

I’ve ride it to my work for a few time before winter, and I put it in the garage waiting for better days.

The sun comes finaly earlier, and when i tried to charge the battery, nothing works…

I noticed that once connected to the charger, the green led of the charger did not turn red (charging indicator), while the indicator of the bike tells me that it is completely discharged

This green led stay to green, and do not charge the battery:(

Could you tell me what to do to find out if the problem is with the charger or the battery?

Thanks a lot for your responses !

I go out with my GT Bikes and having a chain falling problem. I have to fix it every 5 to 10 minutes, which is a very annoying thing.

I hope I can get a good solution from professionals.

MiJia QiCycle Folding Electric Bike: power disconnecting when hitting a bump

Mon, 18 May 2026 13:43:14 -0700

my screen/power goes completely off when riding and hitting a bump. I need to push back a little bit the battery to the front to be able to power on again.

it started some time ago but latelly is so often that I need to do it every time I face any crack or object on the road. Usually a little push on the back side of the battery (red light) is enough to power on again, but after just a minute if the road is bumpy it goes off again.

I suspect is related to connections between controller and battery, and I will tear it down if I need, but I wanted to know if someone is having the same problem.

this is NOT the same as losing assistance, that's another unrelated problem. my screen goes off completely, not just the assistance.

I didn't find anyone complaining about this so please, contact me if you're facing the same issue.

muzzol@gmail.com

EDIT: I found a video describing a very similar situation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRyQtrLo...

unfortunately the guy just returned the bike, so no real solution for us.

Bicycle: Can you make your own 'end nipple' on a braking cable?

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:47:16 -0700

Those cylinders at the end of cables break off sometimes. Is there some cheap way to replace it? I tried tying it around a little metal 'wheel'. That seems to work. But might be too big to fit in some brake levers.

If the question is not clear, tell me. It's a hard question to translate from Dutch!

MiJia QiCycle Folding Electric Bike: My Qicycle suddenly has no power assist

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:11:18 -0700

The battery level shows it is full and the LCD display shows up normal. Now it is just an ordinary bike with no power assist. The LCD display still shows the speed and watts of the bike when I am padel the bike. The bike has only 150km. Which component I should replace first or how to narrow down the faulty unit? Bike Control unit, torque sensor or the motor?
