Looks like Rose now have a few to choose from. http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/products/bike-parts/seat-posts/

I treated myself to a Cancreek LT Thudbuster in January when Rose had a sale on, and have to say that I can't fault it. The ride has been transformed, and if it wasn't for cost, I'd have one fitted to both bikes. As it is the seat post on both bikes is the same diameter, so I just swap the...

I could go onto FB and add my E-bike photos from the day, but that would just make me as bad. :D

Found it. Certainly a load of bullshit comments. Sadly as always the negative stands out from the positive. The positive replies outweigh the negative in substance and meaning, as do the current 247 likes. :) As said before, I didn't receive one negative comment at the Wiggle Rough Ride, so...

I can't find the article, what was/is the date of it?

The BH speed console goes completely dead at an indicated 57kph, but according to Strava on three separate occasions on the same hill, I've hit 41.7mph. I just can't get it go any faster and the Haibike is oddly much slower. I'm not sure, but don't the TourDe France riders go faster than the...

Another vote for Strava. Example below.

Aren't the Haibike motors inverted by 280 degrees and placed above the frame tube. This being the case it won't have one. I can't be 100% sure whether it's a genuine part or not, but I think that Cube might sell them as an accessory for the Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 27.5. (now there is a rank...

Chain and pedals...How is the Zephyr doing these days? :D It looks as though the British winter has been very kind to it.;)

It's orange and black, how could it look have ever looked horrid. :D All KTM's should be this colour. :) Ref the mugging, KTM are only going to need to sell one bike. Each day the current owner would get get mugged, and so the cycle continues.

If a bike gets you out, gets you smiling then does the cost matter. I'm sure that cheap Chinese bikes have done the above, and also through problems or not, possibly inspired the riders to later seek dearer options, and I'm also certain that cheap bikes have provided many business's with an...

SRS, he would be returning without the bike. I'd have mugged him for it. :D If the real deal is a good as the mock up, then I'm giving it my personal E-MTB of the year award.

Perhaps we need to open our own factory for them over here. A few forum members each sticking a fiver into the pot, should see us off to a good start. ;)

In respect of tyres, I can fully understand Col's point of view. When I was circuit racing, depending upon class, you were 'forced' to use specific brands of control tyre. In my case it was Pirelli, but on my size of bike Pirelli tyres were then dreadful to ride on. Not wanting to crash, myself...

Hi Jack, Certain sections were pretty muddy, but not bad enough to have people pushing their bikes through. Luckily there was three days of dry weather leading up to the event, which along with the wind, must have made a massive difference. If you skip to the 7.31 point of this video, it shows...

p Grip on what surface? Road and cycle paths maybe, but it's certainly not going to be mud. Certainly not the best choice of MTB tyre. .

And to end the thread, here is a short video of the day. I even managed to get into the video at the 52sec point with the first start. Bare legs, bare arms and red gloves. :D I just want the next event to hurry up and come round. .

CL if you get really stuck in respect of fitting the part that Dave supplies you, there is a lad on another forum that I use who fixes and repairs bikes to give to youngsters from deprived areas. I have an idea that he comes from Manchester, and I'm sure that he would be willing to help you out...

Yep they are supplying the parts, so they will be making their bit on the top. Chain Reaction have a good sale of Shimano parts at the moment too.

Thanks Rob, I'm actually letting a very highly regarded, and thankfully local specialist off road bike shop carry out the work for me. The labour cost wasn't much over £30.00 including also checking the rest of the bike over, checking and adjusting spoke tension, and also checking my that my...
