    I used to cycle my cyclocross everywhere a couple of years back, including daily commute (different city, flatter terrain, shorter commute). Would the 11 be decent enough outside of commuting?

    They shop did say they could get me a bike from TGC, but didn’t get as far as asking what type of service they’d offer. The bikes seemed a bit like something from AliExpress (I know that probably 90% of bikes are made in China or thereabouts). At least the more common ones mean there’s a...

    This puts my doubts to rest. Seems like too many things can become a real pain in the future. Forme is not an option. So I’m now looking at a Wisper or the Fiido d11 (I’m not sure how much of an actual upgrade the 21 actually is in real terms). I’ve got hang ups about the rear rack battery...

    This is brilliant. Thank you. I definitely don’t want to start messing with my budget as I have set it up for a reason. I suspect I will be buying a better bike in the future. I would prefer to do it once I’m not a complete newbie to pedelecs. Also I think I’d be able to learn upgrades or...
