    Gsm vs bbs01

    <snip> @cycling weakly - I reckon a bit of old innertube is better fit than the supplied rubber wedges. Self-amalgamating tape is good alternative packing material for odd-sized handlebar clamps. Available from Toolstation, etc.

    Fitting the GSM kit

    Although I encountered a few issues, I wouldn't describe fitting the GSM kit as an unpleasant exercise. There are lots of subtly different bike geometries out there and it's probably not reasonable to expect any kit to be a perfect fit in all of them. I had to make one minor tweak (fabricate a...

    Fitting the GSM kit

    I wouldn't recommend fitting a rivnut (or otherwise modifying a frame) unless you have a reasonable level of light metalworking ability. That said, this is what I did - and it worked for me - YMMV I decided to use the upper of the existing two bottle cage rivnuts for the lower screw on the...

    So it's back to being a pedelec owner...

    It's more like this one (the pic isn't mine - its one I found on the web), except I've added a hub dynamo, an AXA frame lock, and a really comfy dutch-style saddle.

    So it's back to being a pedelec owner...

    Hi, all, Looks like I'm returning to the wonderful world of pedelecs after a 6 year lay-off. I bought a Giant Twist comfort back in 2007 when I was cycle-commuting to work, about 10 miles each way, but when I retired in 2009 I got rid of it because I was only doing shorter distances. Now my...
