Thanks for the advice flecc, our pair of Kalkhoff Pro-connects arrived on Friday, and have done well in their first few rides. The hills I was previously going up at 4mph flat-out I'm now going up at 8-9mph, and although I'm putting some effort in, I'm not dripping with sweat at the top. More to the point, we were both able to ride to the wood and back without feeling tired at all really, which bodes well for when we start the coppicing in a week or two and have to do a full day's physical work between the two rides!
