Does anybody have any first-hand experience of the Carry Freedom Y-frame trailer, large (20" wheels)? Thinking of getting one to use with our Agattus instead of the Der Roland trailer, the towbar of which tends to foul the rear of the Agattu's rear carrier in some circumstances.

Here's the PMT version ... Have a good weekend, folks.

for a Kalkhoff Agattu which is ridden in all weathers, often with a considerable weight on board, and nearly always on tarmac. If it's not on tarmac, it's on half a mile of well-drained almost-flat bridle path every now and then as a short-cut, which is more cobbles than mud. Tyre size is...

I have some information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet (.xlxs file) which I would like to share with readers of my WP blog. How on earth might I do that? I'm well up to speed with hyperlinks to jpegs and such, but have no idea at all when it comes to Excel :o

Most of the time, unless I'm feeling particularly idle, I ride with the power setting on "low". If I come to a significant gradient, I switch to "med", and when I do that, the additional motor assistance is always obvious. So far so good. What is puzzling me though is what happens (or...

If I go to the local timber merchants and buy some of their prepared timber, it's really white wood. The old secondhand prepared timber I've got in the shed tends to be much darker, and some of it's gone a lovely golden colour, although it's not been waxed or stained. I assume that the...

Can you guys who are up to speed on this stuff tell me what make of chain to get for a Kalkhoff Agattu - or maybe what make not to get? Thanks :)

I came out of Tesco's this morning and got into conversation with an old boy about electric bikes, and he asked a question I couldn't answer. If you ignore both cost and the ability to retro-fit to an existing unpowered bike, is there any case or circumstance in which a hub motor has any...

Upon taking delivery, I charge to lights out. I then fit battery, ride, and flatten it. I charge to lights out for a second time. I then ride and flatten it for a second time. I charge to lights out for a third time. Then I use normally, charging when down to one LED on the...

Yesterday was the first day that The Lady Wife and I got to ride our new Agattus on wet/muddy roads, and we are not impressed with the front mudguards on these bikes. They are way too short. I've just been faffing about with bits of rubber sheet and so forth, but I'm getting nowhere because...

Well, if it's on the Kalkhoff "manual" CD I can't find it, and surprisingly I got nowhere with Google just now, so ... How do I adjust the preload on the Suntour CR-8V forks fitted to our Agattus? Seems weird to me that there's only a knob on one leg, but actually many things seem weird to me...

By way of a try-out to see if The Lady Wife and I got on with pedelecs, I bought a s/h Kalkhoff Agattu last month. I now need to find a new home for it PDQ (new one coming). It was new from 50 Cycles in Jan 2011, so I'm guessing it's a 2010 model, crossbar, 57cm frame, 8-speed Nexus, dynamo...

If you want to flog something on Ebay but you won't let it go for anything less than £50 or whatever, what do you gain by listing it with a low start price + reserve of £50 as opposed to with a start price of £50? My mates and me who can't understand this at all, and therefore rarely if ever...

By which I mean the old style bars as on The Lady Wife's Agattu 8-speed Ltd Edition step-through. Is there enough scope for adjustment on that Myrrycle one to cope with the end of the bars pointing back so much?

The Lady Wife's new Agattu arrived yesterday, with which she is delighted. She took the battery off the charger last night and put it on the kitchen table, and has been idly reading the small print on the side of the battery whilst chewing her way through her bowl of muesli. She has just...

I want to fit a Zéfal Doobak bar-end mirror to my Agattu. I've cut quite a neat hole in the end of the grip, but am up against two problems. One is that the ID of the bars seems to be a tad less than the mirror is intended for, and the other is down to the vast amount of material on the very...
