Thanks for the response but it's 73mm measured with vernier and confirmed in manuals. The reason I am getting electric bike is coz I am recently disabled. What used to take 5 mins takes a hell of a lot longer but I get your point. I have to plan anything carefully these days. You have made...

It's a screw thread. Haven't had it apart for a while and cannot be sure if thread is in Carbon. I don't recall an insert and remember wondering about it at the time. There are very specific torque settings throughout on this bike. Carbon would be okay with normal pedals but for a high...

Thanks. Very interesting. Just emailed them with a bunch of questions. PS. Worth having helmets on these things. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I rode a friends for first time yesterday (near Marlborough) in that glorious weather. Clinched it. I am officially a convert. Given I used to take the mickey out of people using the ski lifts to get their bikes up mountains in the Alps as being wimps that is quite a conversion. Needs must...

Thanks for all the replies. I am researching each. No rush. The Scott conversion is an obvious one but trashing an ultra light carbon fibre bike that's in tip top condition is a psychological challenge! The Raleigh is in the loft so would make sense but is a hard ride - a young mans game. I...

It's the XTR FC-M960 Hollowtech II. BB is 73 mm wide. One of these is what is currently in there: http://www.bikedrivetrainmall.com/shimano-fc-m960-xtr-complete-bottom-bracket-assembly-english-6873mm-b000al58v0 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The best way to keep your feet dry and warm is as follows. Going from the foot out: good warm wool or similar socks, then goretex socks; then put your bib leggings over that; then your spuds or whatever shoes you use; then neoprene overshoes. Been doing this for many years after an even...

Interesting. Can you tell me more. Why will they not fit? Did it get you up hills ok and did it survive muddy conditions. I m not sure if these things have IP (?) water testing certification or something equivalent. I worry that in that position a motor is really exposed to everything. If I...

I am a former cycling (and running, swimming, tennis, sailing etc) fanatic. I have a top of range (at time of purchase) Scott genius RC10 ((Carbon throughout, even the seat, Shimano XTR top of range groupset). I used this for climbing up mountains on the Alps whilst the lazy folk took their...

It's a shimano xtr, so splined cranks. 73mm diameter I believe. Can you mount these things on Carbon frames? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi. I am new to the world of electric bikes. I have a range of ordinary bikes as I used to be a fanatical cyclist. I now have a heart problem that means I am not supposed to do any voluntary exercise. Need to restore my sanity and find a way to get back on two wheels. Conversion is my first...
