After doing the ride with the 24% gradient 3 times in the last week which was 38 mile round trip with a lot if climbing,plus a 3.5 mile detour and a further 21 miles after tea last night,i thought i would do an easy tide today. The intention was to ride to Gisburn (of Renault advert fame)...

nice 7% gradient at the start just to right of restaurant road disappears reaching 16% looking back along the 50mph rd,but not today as there was a strong headwind limiting me to 46mph the trusty stead with dunsop bridge in the distance looking back towards waddington fell road left towards...

today the 50mph club is a little less exclusive. Funny thing is it didn't really feel like i was going that fast. The fact that i achieved 52mph is an even bigger surprise.Almost 38 miles,two whacking great hills,one of which i rode up had a gradient of 24% at one point...

last night i went on one of my regular 20 mile rides,despite the black clouds and the 15mph headwind which was always there no matter which way i turned...strange because at some point i thought i would get an extra 15mph assistance ! Just approaching my last big climb a couple of guys on...

My 19t rear gear arrived from Wiggle. First i went on a test ride around our local BAE just to make sure it wasn't going to drop off ! Yersterday afternoon i went on another ride around Pendle hill. Again battery gave up at 32 miles,2 miles from home.Although the ride back is reasonably flat...

On a rare afternoon off i went to test the Agattu's real climbing ability. The following ride was off one battery/charge although it did run flat 4 miles from home.(i did need to do this to reset it) Still given the climbing it achieved and against a strong headwind on the return jorney it gave...

Seeing as the new battery is supposed to be good for 1000 charges, is it reasonable to assume it will come with a 3 year guarantee given that 1 charge per day over a full year for 3 years equals 1095 charges...or will it be a longer guarantee as it is unlikely to suffer the same daily stress as...

went for a ride today and felt a clicking from the left pedal,everything seemed ok,nothing loose so i carried on.Whilst setting off from a roundabout i found out that the strange clicking was a bit more terminal. The chain was dangling down onto the road......One of the links had completely...

I have just invested in a Garmin Edge 500 which is one fantastic piece of kit. It will tell you everything you need to know about your ride. Apart from the usual time,average speed,max speed,distance etc you also get elevation gain and loss (thats a total of how much up and down you have done)...

I went for a little ride last night and i wondered whether you consider this a reasonable performance from the Agattu...given the terrain. 1st light on bars went at 14.85 miles 2nd light at 24.50 Gmaps Pedometer

Just got a cyclelife brochure through the door advertising lots of raleigh bikes including the Dover deluxe premium ..with schwalbe marathons as standard....£1799.99 so it looks like they will be ok for kalkhoff spares and servicing if required as ther are quite a few dotted around the country...

Cycling along last night i had a nightmare scenario... what if my bike suddenly ground to a halt.....infected by,,,,,Volcanic ash ! :eek: Bikers country wide pushing their ebikes home.....how would we cope ? Worse still you take it back to where you bought it and they say 'sorry, both the motor...

Today whilst out on my Agattu i lost all my gears,the pedals turn and the gears just slip...all of them. Is it an easy problem to fix ? I have only done about 170 miles since new. I remember seeing a thread about lining up the yellow/red marks but can't find it. Can anybody help ? Thanls in...

I know it says somewhere on the forum but i can't find it. What is considered flat. Is it when the lights are flashing on the controller/battery ?..Its just that i have done this and i appear to be getting about 30 miles between charges.Looking at Fleccs write up i would have expected a little...
