SOLD! Subject to collection.

Would it be too cheeky to ask you to scan and post the leaflet? I could use some new over shoes, but I doubt they'd sell obscure stuff like that?

Legal bikes will not become more powerful. In fact regulations will be enforced more tightly and future bikes will be less powerful. Ranges should increase by a large margin though......but at a cost. I wouldn't worry about waiting for the next big thing though. You always pay through the nose...

A cheeky chappy has just offered me £500.00. I know I said make me an offer but........:D Still, worth a try. Let the negotiations commence! Cheers! Once again, I think ebikes are a really good idea for many people, and if my knee was worse, I'd stick with it. I've found though, that the more...

I bought the Aurora as a bit of a treat for myself this Christmas. I actually received it in early January, so the bike is less then 3 months old! The intention was to cycle to work every day of the year, using my non-electric Dawse town bike most of the time, and the Aurora when my knee played...

A couple of times whilst riding the Aurora, I've heard/felt a click-thud noise from the front wheel. It doesn't happen all the time, and is not in time with the wheel rotation. The sound it makes is like when the tyre picks up a stone and throws it into the mudguard. Annoyingly it does it for a...

I think the bigger difference is due to width rather than tread pattern. I recently took the knobblies off the missus' mountain bike and replaced then with the standard road tyres that came with the Aurora. After the 1st ride she said she couldn't believe how much faster and easier it was to...

I'd say look again. It sounds like you've made up your mind, but I'll chip in because I'm a 5'8" Aurora rider. As standard with the suspension seat post AND suspension seat, yes it's a really high riding position. I first tried swapping the seat for my MB seat, and this made it ridable, but...

I think prospective new ebikers just like to have a read whilst deciding if an ebike is for them. I must admit, I 'hovered' for quite a while (3 or 4 months) before joining, as I wanted to gain a bit of intel so as not to ask a silly question. Don't be shy though, there's no such thing as a...

Can't wait for parts 4,5&6 of your commute.:D I'm pretty lucky in that my 10 mile commute is all roads/cycle paths. Don't think I'd fancy those off road parts you have to cover in the dark. Nice camera btw.

Back in the day, I rode a Carlton Criterium. It could hit over 35 mph down hill. Scary stuff. Now though, I just want something that's a bit less effort for the odd fast ride, and for commuting in the summer. My hybrid Dawes is really comfortable for a work hack......I just yearn for that top...

My bike tends to be loaded up with work gear/snap/waterproofs/tools etc when I use it, and I weigh 12&1/2 stone, so maybe you're a bit lighter? It's not that they're 'bad' brakes, just hard to set up so they run silently. The BB7s have 2 adjuster knobs to adjust, and always line up perfectly...

I'd have thought that with the weight, you'd soon wear down your rims if you were a high mileage Aurora rider, and I'm not sure if V-Brakes would stop the beast in the wet? For £47.95 (inc p&p) for the full disk brake set from chain reaction cycles Avid BB7 Mechanical Disc Brake 2011 | Buy...

The standard brakes just don't have the stopping power for such a heavy bike. I tried to adjust them, but one of the adjuster screws was very stiff. When I took it out, it was apparent that it had been threaded when factory assembled! I've just been for a spin around the block and wasn't...

Today I finally got around to fitting the front 185mm avid BB7 disc brake that I bought over a month ago! I haven't been in a rush as I've not used the Aurora lately as my knee has not played up in ages, (I had an MRI scan on it a couple of weeks ago, appointment next month to see if I need an...

It winds me up when they shoot past you when your 20 yards from a red light! Idiots!

As a rule, the longer a pad lasts, the more it's wearing out your rotor. The most important thing though, is how well the pad/rotor combo actually stops you, and if the set up feels right in all conditions. It's not so much of an issue on bicycles though as new rotors are cheap. Motorbike...

Seriously, it goes together in next to no time. I've just timed myself, 15 seconds!:eek: That's from flat pack without the wheels fitted to being fully assembled.....another 5 seconds to hook it to your bike (assuming you leave the tow shaft on all the time) and you're away.
