    Just a nagging doubt...………. but?

    Thanks, I was looking at the Wolf link, so will investigate the one you suggest, will I require any extra links in the chain or will the deralliuer compensate with what is already fitted. Could you get away with an extra long B screw instead of the Wolf link ?

    Just a nagging doubt...………. but?

    I'm having exactly the same issues with my 2nd e-bike, a Cube Touring hybrid pro 500, fitted with the ALP motor. It replaced a stolen Race reaction 500 e-bike which came with the previous gen C X performance. Yes I agree that the ALP has a few advantages over the C X, namely the lack of drag at...

    Which e mtb better buy

    Yep. only you can decide which one, but try a hardtail with a sussy post fitted, and a good selle gel comfort saddle. Full suspension are nice and trick, but so much more to maintain if they are used as they should be, and if not look stupid as a road bike, you will get tired of the unnecessary...

    E-Zee Riders - The UK’s first Land’s End to John O’Groats electric bike holiday specialists....

    I'd agree with that sort of itinerary, lots of short, get off the bike, breaks during the day. Use all of the days hours available, no turning up at your stop in the mid afternoon, plan to use the hours available, unless you are on a 3 week trip, but to do the ride as a bit of a challange...

    E-Zee Riders - The UK’s first Land’s End to John O’Groats electric bike holiday specialists....

    I'm your man who can drive your support van ! Did it 6 years ago when my son did LEJoG, non-stop, (other than 6 hrs necessary sleep stops), in a total of 98 hrs. The thought of doing the trip myself has been in my mind ever since I got into the e-bikes, and accommodation to me would just be a...

    Help! CUBE Touring Hybrid Pro 500 - v - CUBE Touring Hybrid 500

    I'm in the same boat as you looking at these two bikes. Having come from a race reaction with the cx motor I was a bit worried I'd miss that hit of the higher torque, but when riding, the Active line plus seemed to be fine, and the geometry and comfort of the bike was superb. Note also that the...

    Rear Bike Carrier Damage

    Hello Gubbins I've tried all types of carriers, and for me, roof or tow bar methods are the best, the strap on ones are useless. I am in the same position as you. albeit fitting one to a car rather than van, and with my bike now being a 21kg CUBE, I will be going for the towbar option, they are...

    Tyre choice

    Went with the 2.35 tyre, but Fawkes cycles had said that I could go to 2" on the 30mm rims.
