    Rescue a failing Kalkhoff?

    Well I promised a progress update, so here goes. I take your point D8veh, but decided to buy British for speed of delivery and in case anything went wrong. As D8veh said, I have had to buy a few extras. The DNP Epoch 7-speed freewheel is an almost perfect fit, it just needed one extra spacer...

    Hello from West Fife

    Hi everyone, what a great forum this is! Graeme here, 50, from West Fife. Two months ago I did a bit of research and put down a deposit on a Kalkhoff Pro Connect X27. It has been a long time since I have cycled on roads, and so far the bike has given me enormous pleasure. Without the battery...
