    Help to choose fairly small frame ebike for welsh hills and towpath.

    Hello. My Cube Kathmandu Pro 625 has handled the Yorkshire hills and towpaths with aplomb. Can only speak from experience but its not ever let me down.

    Kathmandu Pro step though Headset problem resolved

    Anybody who has read my previous post about my Kathmandu step through, will know I had problems with both the stem and headset on my new bike. It has been going on for a few months now, but hallelujah I think its fixed. Ben at Wheelbase in Ilkley stripped it down and found that the "cup"...

    Bike seat for long commute ?

    Saddles are so personal. One persons comfort heaven is anothers hell. I got measured for the width of my sit bones and went from there. A lot of places will let you take a saddle and try it out, then swap it if need be.

    Ebikes and the Unfit Very Heavy Rider - A Cautionary Tale for Newcomers

    Hey I enjoyed that thanks. What bike were you on? Theres some pretty big articulated lorry on those roads. What are the drivers like towards cyclists there? Good news to hear you've on the recovery road. Well done

    I reckon the 50 would be ok for u but don't take my word for it. Can you ring and ask their advice? Your English is fine - I can't speak any other language properly so am in awe! LOL. Hope you get sorted.

    Ebikes and the Unfit Very Heavy Rider - A Cautionary Tale for Newcomers

    I've had PF too. It really is a pain isn't it? Does anyone get numb feet from cycling? The ball of my foot goes numb sometimes. I assume its the pressure on nerves? I now use a good insole and move my feet around a bit on the pedals from time to time.

    Hello and welcome. Im 5'3" and a fully paid up member of the short arse club. LOL. I found small or xs frames hard to find when I was looking. I ended up with a T50. T for trapeze. I found it absolutely fine once I was on it, but dismounting isn't easy but maybe that's just me! When I came...

    I think so yeah. I try to ride as much as possible without assistance, so the lighter the better. I suppose it depends on your particular needs. Also for getting on and off the carrier on the car, even though I take the battery out, I can still struggle on my own.
