Cheers John and Tim :) Glad to be of service, and presumably congratulations to Tim as well!

..and thats why its cool , compared to the Forza which looks like someones taken a £50 BSO from ASDA and stuck a battery on it. IMHO Agattus are quite masculine in a Germanic sort of way as opposed to Gazelles which are clearly for ladies:)

See now if 50cycles had any brains they'd just supply every Kalkhoff with one of these. I know i phoned up 50cycles and asked how i to get air into the tyres. That had to get close to costing them 49p.-

A2B are notoriously bias and fickle and always hate anything new that isnt a brompton or a LaFree (now swapped for Agattus). This is the genius of the magazine, if they actually like something you know its good! Thats why A2B's gushing Agattu review had such a big impact (made me buy it)...

re the valves DONT BUY NEW TUBES! I went into my lbs to buy 4 new inner tubes. While moaning about the woods valves, they kindly told me that i didnt need new tubes i just needed an adaptor, which they sold to me for some pennies. My lbs is a hidden gem. Its a little brass thing that...

Hurray the wife loves the Agattu My wife hasnt really cycled since she had Michael our 14month old. Last Sunday bar one, we had a family trip to a nice duckpond 6 miles each way mostly flat but with two annoying rises along the way. My wife had the Agattu and i had my Dawes. She loooved it...

Excellent! Kudos on your commute! I've used the slime Liners and found it works for certian types of puncture. Much better than the crappy slime in your tubes blocking your valves. I suspect if you are using cycle lanes your tyres will get shredded. Get the M+s

Great photo tgame. I fitted my new stand (courtesy of 50cycles), yesterday. I'll see what i can do to achieve a similar effect. PS Nice bins!

You guys rock! Loads of solutions and ideas. When the new stand comes i'll try fiddling with the angle or extending it. Maybe experimenting with a perfect front wheel angle it would help out. Its interesting to see the weight limits on those Hebie stands. The 616 is not reliable enough at...

I spoke to 50cycles yesterday theyre sending another one out. A weak one is better than non, but i'll not put mike on it again. The stand broke in the mid point. Anyone think of a reliable option? Maybe something old fashioned from the good old days? I'm after somthing reliable that wont...

Thats awesome! Flecc. Is that for sale? PS Musicbooks. If your boys 4 he needs to pedal his own way! Put him on a tag-a-long and get him to help. 4 year olds have so much energy theyre as good as an extra battery! I think theres a link to a ctc thread with a lot of discussion on how to move...

Hi guys just a quick warning. The esge\plescher kickstand broke yesterday. Snapped clean in the middle! Might want to check yours. I'll call 50 cycles today and ask about it. PS no i havent sat on it, but i do put a lot of weight on the bike (it had my shopping on yesterday. My...

I'd guess if speed is the key aim, you'll need the classic features that aid speed: -Rigid frame and no suspension (reduce energy wastage) -Skinny tyres and wheels (reduce road resistance) -Drop handlebars and lycra kit (reduce wind resistance) Is there a vehicle on the market thats...

I live between cambridge and harlow. Theres an old guy in my village of 200 odd souls with a powacycle which sounds as old as him. Me and him are the only all year round cyclists. I see quite a few electric bikes round harlow (there are a few bumps here). Lots of budget ones, powacycle...

Everyone in our office complains its too cold in the morning and too hot in the afternoon. When i cycle the temperature is just fine. If i drive i feel like everyone else. Its just your metabolism getting going. I got lots of relevant hits with my first google search: exercise elevated...

Good job! I keep trying to get my wife on my Agattu, but she's quite suspect of it. It will be great when we have one each though.

I'm thinking a trailer is the next step. I'm hoping the wife will get me one at xmas.

I've heard on forums that those rain legs are useful for a mile or two in light to medium rain. So good for in town short hops and are low bulk when off. I ride in the rain but not usually on my pedelec! The pedelec is an anti sweat device, but in a waterproof i'm just going to sweat anyway...

Flecc gave some advice for how to remove the rear wheel for those who arent used to complex hubs: See here
