I've had a look at the Proconnect Disc rear wheel and also my 2008 PC this morning and the wheels are different in the way the spokes are laced. The PC Disc hub is of a slightly different design which has the spokes on one side crossing each other but importantly they do not touch...

I have a 16T sprocket on mine and it is better. I am also experiencing something in the pedal area but I can't explain it either. I know that it isn't as smooth as my 2008 PC. I have adjusted the gear cable to line up the marks when in 4th gear and that seemed to improve things a little.

Arghh, Tillson, what have I done. I've just been out and counted the spokes and there are only 24 :mad: I had assummed that they would never go back to those horrible wheels that I had so much trouble with on the previous PC. I have already had a couple of 'pings' on the new bike but...

I've got mine about a couple of months ago. It seems a good bike but I think it is a bit different from my 2008 PC. I haven't figured out why yet but the drive seems different. When I got it I was disappointed with the look as it had a 'sit-up' Dutch look and not the sleek look of my...

I got that from the Company Accountant last week and she showed me it in black and white. We get our bikes over 12 months. Final payment 25%. If the term was longer then the final payment would be 15%. I also saw that in black and white. I'm not quoting dubious middlemen.

It has more than one battery - 48 I think.

I have just got my new bike on the Cycle to work scheme. It isn't as attractive as it used to be as the final payment to actually buy the bike at the end of the 12 months is now 25%.

I have had a ProConnect Disc for a month which has this battery fitted. I charged it fully and used it the first two days doing a total of 28 miles on medium setting with some high setting for a few hills. There was 2 lights remaining on the battery indicator after the 28 miles. My older...

I've had narrow escapes in ASDA from people using mobile phones but incapable of controlling their shopping trolley.

I was cycling home this afternoon when I heard a voice behind me. It was a cyclist talking on his mobile phone. He passed me still cycling with one hand holding his phone to his ear and as we approached a junction where it had a stop sign he just went straight out. A woman motorist had to slow...

I think I will have to advertise my Giant Lafree Comfort ST again if this is true

Yes, I've noticed a lot more cyclists in the last couple of weeks. I have to use the lift at the Cycle Tunnel and am now regularly asked "Is that electric?" Two mornings in a row I ended up giving my usual ebike speech before we realised that no one had pressed the lift 'up' button.

Great, my new ProConnect has a 50 page user booklet with it........all in German :mad: Don't Derby Cycles have the common sense to send us booklets in ENGLISH!

The 18 Ah battery does look bigger due to a taller handle but the only real increase is in the width which is 130mm compared to 115mm for the 10 Ah. This makes it look like it is sticking out and to me looks less streamlined and more obvious. The 18 Ah weighs 3.2 kg compared to 2.4 kg for the...

I read the following in 'Newelectronics' about the latest technology for electric cars......... 'charging a Li ion battery to 100% or discharging to 0% will degrade its capacity, so it needs a restricted state of charge, such as 20% to 80%. This means the useable capacity is only 60% of the...

I just took delivery of a ProConnect Disc last Friday which has this battery fitted. I charged it fully and used it the first two days doing a total of 28 miles on medium setting with some high setting for a few hills. There was 2 lights remaining on the battery indicator. I will run it down...

I've had problems over the past 12 months with loose rear wheel spokes on my July 2008 ProConnect. I wrote to Derby Cycles in Germany but never got a reply. 50C showed some initial interest and asked to see my letter but nothing came back. Replacement spokes were the next thing and 50C said...

Just received my new Kalkhoff ProConnect Disc on Friday and looking forward to trying it on my commute on Monday.

I watched Top Gear last night and Clarkson commented on cyclists using video cameras. One thing he said was that motorists pay for the roads by Road Tax. Now I am sure I read something in the past that stated Tax Payers are the ones who foot the bill for the roads which would mean that most...

I have had an intermittent problem from the start with the battery charger I got with my ProConnect two and a half years ago. When I took the battery off the bike and put it on the charger sometimes it wouldn't start. At first I replaced the fuse in the plug. It worked, but then a few days...
