I do...and (what I now discover is a common, almost annual problem for many owners) the wheel bearings failed. Now you can buy an Erde kit, which comes complete with a replacement dust cap, which could be handy as the old dust cap is likely to be ruined in the process of removing it...but the kit retails at really quite a lot of money (£20+ a side) and the bearing themselves are available from alternative suppliers for very much less...but you may still have a dust cap problem to solve. HOWEVER: I found a chap in Norfolk who machines custom made caps at £20 the pair which are machined from sensible gauge steel and fitted with a set screw in the centre: when you need to remove the cap you simply remove the set screw and replace it with a longer one (supplied) and as you tighten it the cap is gently removed. There is also a lip machined into the cap so you can slip a flat ended screwdriver into the gap and twist to help things along. I'm not sure of club rules regarding advertising on here, but the chap trades on eBay as *crabtreeengineer*. And I hope I haven't broken the rules! The service was FANTASTIC. I misread the listing (it was for a pair of Erde 122 caps, and mine is a102), but he replaced them literally by return....61 hours after my first eMail admitting my mistake and the new replacement caps were fitted. And he does other stuff too. bilje55
