    Morning all. Nice pictures of your bikes. It’s been a few months now since getting my Neo and I still can’t stop smiling to myself when I ride it. It’s opens up so many routes that previously would have wiped me out for several days without the assistance of the motor. Now I’m able to do back...

    No problem at all. Have a good ride. I too have spare set now.

    Yes I agree. I had to use a larger barrel to hold it in place until I got the replacements. You have to be careful as the Cannondale ones are smaller and fit into a receiving groove on the clamp. The larger non standard to not fit so you have to be careful when tightening not to cause damage to...

    The same happened to mine. The seat retaining barrels are specific to the Cannondale Seatpost. The small barrels that sit on top of the bolt are smaller than standard barrels and can only be replaced/ sourced direct from Cannondale. They cost ££14.99 plus delivery. I got mine replaced by the...

As a result of this I lost one of the small barrel fixings that the bolt goes into. Here lies the problem. The barrels...

    It’s been a few weeks and I have to say I really am loving this bike. It’s just so easy to ride, and I still haven’t found any hills that have caused it any problems. Had a nice hilly ride today and the bike just did it’s job. So much so that I think I may even repeat it tomorrow Check out the...

    First ride this morning. Just a short but hilly route to see how the bike runs. All I can say is WOW. This bike is unreal. The hills truly get flattened and headwind is no problem at all. The weight of the bike vanishes when you are riding it and it feels like any other road bike. Even when the...

    Yes I guess that’s about right. But I’m no expert. The crank drive though seems to be more versatile and efficient but you have to put up with the little extra weight. I’m told that this is not noticeable when using the bike. I will update when I get to ride mine. Also with a crank system you...

    Well yesterday was the day. I have now collected my new bike. I must say that it really does look great. Now all I need is some good weather to try it out ☹️.
