    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    Yes on paper both motors should have been about the same, but it just goes to show how important it is to take a test ride on the types of hills you are going to be riding up. The Bosch motor was far more powerful on the hills than the Fazua.

    I think JC has about as much chance of becoming our PM one day as I have of winning the Lottery, and I don't even do the Lottery.

    I would imagine JRM and his hedge fund mates are buying as many dollars as they possible can.

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    I had a test ride on a Cube Agree which has the Fazua motor, prior to buying the Cannondale. It was a lovely bike, but I really struggled on very steep hills with it and so opted for the Neo. All the best for your ride today I am sure you will enjoy it.

    Cannondale Synapse Neo

    Hi Bonky, yes I agree with you there is not a big difference between Sport and Turbo mode, this comes as a bit of a surprise if one has been riding a bike fitted with a Bosch CX motor. I can't help you with the app unfortunately, I didn't even know one was available. I haven't noticed changing...

    Is this the right price for a used eMTB?

    There are companies that will re-cell your old battery and the cost is much cheaper than the price of a new battery.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If the contents of the article I link to in the above post are correct (I don't see why they would not be). Why have MPs not tried to do something about this? Do they not know its going on? Or are they deliberately turning a blind eye to it, because of all the money it brings into London?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A few years ago I read a book on Tax Havens, I think it was called Treasure Islands. In it the author made a very strong case of the City of London being the biggest Tax Haven in the world. In the article linked below, it now appears (partly caused by the Lib Dems) that the City of London is...

    vfr400 is in the process of building him an ultra fast pedelec so that he can evade the long arm of the law.

    The video does not seem to work. A message comes up saying video unavailable because it contains content from WMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.

    I assumed it was for lights, I could be wrong though.

    Orbea Gain vs Cube Agree

    bsurf if you do a search on Orbea Gain on this site you should find quite a few threads about it. Several posters have bought the Gain and they all seem very happy with their purchase. I also seem to remember some discussion about the app you mentioned in your last post. If possible try and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree, what is really amazing is that by all accounts the majority of Tori members are much better off than the average person in the UK, and so they have done very well out of the "system" over the last 44 years. So why would anyone want to risk what has worked reasonably well, for...

    Orbea Gain vs Cube Agree

    Ribble use exactly the same motor as the Orbea Gain. I have not ridden the Gain, but did ride the Cube Agree some time ago and was rather disappointed with it. I live in an area with a lot of steep hills and the motor in the Cube was not powerful enough to get me up them for my level of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I heard recently of a poll that was carried out just among Tori Party members. I can't remember the exact figures but I think in answer to all the following questions over 60% said they would still want to leave even if. 1. Leaving meant Scotland would leave the Union. 2. NI would leave the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think for many leavers they only believe what the want to believe. Any information that clashes with that belief they dismiss as fake news, or project fear. I am not sure where all this will end, if we do crash out with no deal and it is an economic disaster I suspect many leavers will still...
