My apologies for the jap comment, it wasn't thought through properly.

Well it's a little over a year since I purchased my pro connect second hand from eBay. I was impressed from the off with my new acquisition, but felt I needed taller gearing to suit my riding style and terrain. I changed my rear sprocket to one with fewer teeth and this sorted things for me...

Just a quick update on how im getting on with my bike. Ok so ive changed the tyres and innertubes to continental one. Cant remember the name of the tyre but its almost slick and rolls lovely on the road. Im learning how to get the most out of the motor on the small hill On my commute. Staying in...

Theres a kalkhoff pro connect on ebay right now, and an offer of £600 should get it. I recently bought one and its the best thing Ive ever bought. Very well made and goes well.

Ok so ive fitted the 16t sprocket this evening and had a short test ride. Its as if ive lost 2 bottom gears and replaced them with 2 higher gears. So what was 8th is now my 6th gear. The extra speed should be fun, and I now have to use my gears rather than just do everything in 8th. I may end up...

Thankyou amigafan thats helped me out

Yes those silly woods valves caught me out when i bought the bike. It arrived with soft tyres from the courier after i bought it from ebay, so i couldnt ride it until i got a woods schrader adaptor! Def getting schrader valves this time ;)

Hi all, Im looking to upgrade/replace the continental tyres on my pro connect. I looked at the size on the sidewall but it has confused me, can anyone give me a size of innertube and tyre I should buy? I just know if I order some tyres and innertubes myself I will get the wrong sizes :)...

I live in East Anglia, lovingly known as the flatlands. Only some gentle inclines and no real hills to speak of. Ive only really used the top three gears, with fifth being more than comfortable to get me up the only real slope on my commute. Im pretty fit and can pedal at a reasonably fast rate...

Thanks for all your advice James, I really appreciate it. As you know im changing to a 16t hub sprocket. My question is if im running a 9t motor sprocket (havent actually checked this yet) will I gain a noticable speed increase changing to the 11t in combination with the 16t hub sprocket?

Rookie mistake eh! Think I will just get an offset one to be sure.

Received sprocket, its flat, is that right as the one on the bike is dished?

I reckon the sprocket is the standard 23 tooth one, so yes, perhaps a tad extreme going all the way down to 16 teeth in one go. But the way im thinking is I want maximum speed and as long as I can still get at least 12 or so miles range thats enough for my commute. Im just hoping I dont break...

That is just the post I was looking for, brilliant! Any idea how many chain links I will need to remove for a 16 tooth sprocket and as ive never done this before, any advice on how to do it will be great and very much appreciated.

Ive just ordered a sturmey archer 16 tooth sprocket, and found a youtube video showing how to fit. Yes it does look fiddly but I reckon ill get it done. I will post again when fitted :) thanks again for the info flecc.

Thanks for your reply flecc. My bike has 8 gears, all enclosed by a chain guard with one sprocket on the back wheel. I hope from this you know which model I have. Range is not too much of an issue. As long as I can get 10-15 miles on full assist thats more than adequate for me. I did read...

Hello to you all! After lots of research I decided to go electric, and while searching Ebay I found a 3 year old pro connect, in very good condition, for under £800. I am so happy with my new purchase, it literally puts a smile on my face every day! Im already thinking about changing the...
