Alston is a better bet for battery life, you should be able to recharge in Allenheads ready for the final ascent of the day towards Rookhope. Enjoy the run down from Hartside to Alston, I have done over 50mph down there tailgating our support van!

Don't t know if you have your accommodation booked but over 4 days I am guessing day 1 will just be a little draggy but will include a decent climb to Whinlatter probably with an overnight around Keswick. Day 2 should include Hartside Pass which is quite a long pull but not too steep. Day 3...

Done it a few times myself but never on an ebike. How many days are you doing it over, your battery will get hammered on some of those climbs? Take your time and enjoy the ride there certainly is some beautiful scenery on the way.

Apart from the obvious GPS error this was my morning, reached 0% battery right as I reached the top of the last incline, I had been nursing the battery for quite some time before that!

Slx shifter, deore direct mount front mech ( should be top pull but I could only get my hands on a dual pull so had to cut a bit off the lever that is used when it is bottom pull) and a couple of FSA chainrings I had available. Outer chainring goes where the chain guard was and derailleur mounts...

Why not fit a double chainring with 32-44 rings then you have all of the gears you need. Just done this to my Sduro and it has transformed the bike in hilly terrain, plenty of low gears for climbing and high enough top on the flat for 35mph if you put the effort in!

Over 1,000m for every ride for me, if it's much less than that I just use the unpowered bike.

Regeneration would certainly make the wife feel more comfortable in the Alps, riding downhill with the brakes hard on for 6 or 7km is way outside of her comfort zone.

If you upgrade to a proper dished 42 you will be able to use all of the gears and have a lower bottom gear and a higher top gear.

Pedals that came with my Haibike have never been fitted and never will be. Bike was fitted with SPD's as soon as I got it. I now have a pair of pedals to dispose of, so they cost the manufacturer to buy them, me to have them in the price of the bike and the environment for unnecessary waste...

The bike in question has a Yamaha motor not Bosch. I can't comment on Bosch systems as I have no experience with these.

You don't actually need another sensor, just reposition the existing one on the outside of the left chains Taylor, use Velcro ties, cable ties, tape or whatever and secure either the existing rear wheel speed sensor magnet or any other magnet to the left hand crank arm and away you go.

If that is the case then 9.9 people out of 10 are not positioning there magnets / sensors correctly. As I said above the motor doesn't know what gear you are in or the terrain you are on, pedaling will always give the speeds indicated. There is no way a software engineer could reliably detect...

Yes it works fine apart from the speedo not working properly but that will be the case withe the badassebikes dongle anyway. As for the comment by by Soundwave that he doubts it will work for any length of time I fail to understand the login behind that. It works because the "speedo" sees the...

That trick certainly does work on my recently bought 2016 Haibike. Fitted a spare speedo magnet on to the end of the pedal threads and fitted the sensor outside the chains Taylor job done!

Got to agree with this having done many high speed trips across the continent . I have had both bikes and ski boxes well over 130mph for extended periods of time, the only issue I have ever had was many years ago a cheap bar started bending towards the roof due to aerodynamic loads rather than...

Phill, I have had similar problems in the past caused by worn cleats with new pedals. Having a couple of bikes with Shimano m520s and 2 pairs of shoes (summer and waterproof winter) it can be a real pain.

..got BBS02 equipped bike they would be willing to let me have a little spin on to help me decide whether it's the right thing for me? Mainly interested in hill climbing capability. Cheers Chris

OK so a few different opinions there, no surprises there then it is an Internet forum;-) Rob can you tell me why it would be so bad to ride unpowered, I am only adding the same weight as a camelback full of water with the motor then the weight of the battery on top. A 34 will give me a far...

Hi guys, I am in the fortunate position of being able to spend long periods of time in the Alps. As a keen cyclist I find it a bit of a binding to have to put our bikes on the car before we can ride anywhere as the road back to the apartment is a 20% gradient for about a kilometre, not...
