kalkoffs Tim So that is that model. What about the others? My own concern is the 45cm step through for which I was led to believe manfg date was 30 March. I have seen or read nothing to the contrary on this forum. Can you not update us all who are waiting? David

Thanks, Flecc. I am forewarned and forearmed. It was the other one I had in mind! david

A question for Flecc. As I recall you recommend a Cateye mirror. I shall be spending the summer in Spain, HOPEFULLY doing lots of riding on my new, long, long awaited Kalkoff. My question is: is that mirror ambidextrous ie can it be just as easily fitted on the end of the left handlebar? David

Brits And Bikes Well said, Flecc. It's called 'give and take' and that's all it takes David

Books My bible in an earlier cycling existence was 'Richards Bicycle Book'. It had everything about bikes plus detailed drawing for all maintenance and repairs. And they worked. Once coming too fast down a pyrennean mountain road I failed to see a huge pot hole in time - result: one very mis...

I have often wondered what it is in the British psyche that makes them anti-bicycle. Perhaps it had its origins in the earliest days when the rich young men - the only ones who could afford them - went hurtling around on their Oridinaries seemingly terrifying old ladies and animals. It is an...

Thanks Flecc. As always a prompt brief but comprehensive, and re assuring, reply David

In his review Flecc says that the battery should be fully discharged 2/ 3 times initially and then kept topped up thereafter. Given my age, current physical condition, and the fact that there are no flat roads anywhere near my home it will obviously be impossible for me to cycle far enough to...

Agattu deliveries dates No mine will (eventually) be a 45, but that doesn't make the waiting any more bearable!

Agattu deliveries dates Has everybody else on their list received the promised newsletter - or is just me without for whatever reason?

I read of problems removing wheels on electric bikes, although they seem related to built in motors. Is there any removal problem with the Agattu wheels?

Thank you, Flecc, a comprehensive yet beautifully succinct summary David

Flecc I see that the new Tasman has hydraulic brakes. I didn't know that bicycles could have such things. Can you enlighten me about them, please? What are their advantages/disadvantages? David

Tony I hope it was nothing to do with the messages I sent you last week! David

Good on you. I've had mine for a while now. But then you've got your Agattu and I haven't - yet. So it too beckons for me

Agattu tyres valves Thanks, Flecc. And Scraeder valves in a Woods hole?

Since I would not be up to drilling holes in rims like Flecc would there be any problem in swapping a Woods valve tube for one with a presta valve?

Get some in Tony! David

Google maps aaannndddyyy No harm done. I'm safely back at home as it were. These maps are a learning curve for a lot of us David

member map Is this a new complaint? I've just been moved to a wrong place on the map! I do not live north of Carlisle but in Upper Teesdale where I placed my marker a couple of days ago. Now I have been seemingly edited 4 hours ago by another member' Is that legal? Or a mistake? Anyway I've put...
