Hmm, I take it back. The tire is just fine but the shaft drive is now very noisy and I can't work out why Maybe I overtightened the axel nuts causing a bit of twisting

It really is and I've posted many times on this as a year round commuter every day without fail It takes determination and resilience and good clothing. If you can't shower at work then doubly so But as you are an experienced cycle commuter already then you know this stuff already The xf07...

Had to change a rear tire today which I had been fearful of to say the least! It was a doddle in the end and no harder than any other alfine hub bike (and Ive had a few!) This helped

My brother has a camper van business (conversion, repair, interiors, canvas work and so forth) As well as his beloved super old and rare vw splitty panel van he has a more modern and larger vw to take his wife and 2 kids. He hates campsites but runs off lpg and deep cycle leisure batts with a...

It wasnt the ethics particularly but practicalities of dragging a large lithium pack into cafes and back. How often will your camper be right outside a cafe? And whilst they tend not to mind if you plug in laptop. The look and size this option seems likely to prompt questions? And you are...

Expensive, for sure. Here is a 3kw one for example https://www.leisureoutlet.com/outdoor-power/home-garden-party-ideas/halloween-and-bonfire-night-essentials/157055-goal-zero-yeti-3000-lithium-solar-power-generator Not exactly convinced your average cafe will 1. want you to wheel in what...

Agree with above. A rear hub kit will be cheaper, better and less maintenance for your use. I have a mid drive on my bike that is used mostly for proper off-road but hub for the bike used for mostly road Woosh have always been good for me and particularly in sorting out the odd issue but you...

Hopefully not. Forgetting legality he is going to end up not hitting his own requirements if he insists on a powerful DD hub over a geared 250w. he won't be able to have a small light battery to carry around. A big powerful battery will be needed to drive it. Or he will try and will kill a...

I like to rock the late 1990s Demi Moore look

Saw this today and thought of this thread https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIJOBRLB/jobsworth-rotatable-light-bracket

True, though I can always find a few other bargains to make the postage worth it And that's how they gets ya!

Something akin to this...

I have two bikes. My ideal and much loved titanium super bling hardtail And a nondescript looking sliver hybrid with cheap panniers I tend to tie plastic bags and bits of gaffer tape to it also. It looks like a heap of junk. Actually it's a shaft drive, alfine hubbed, ebike which can do 25mph...

I had a very similar older model. Comfy and I'm sure it saved my life after a nasty night incident with a white van. Downside, not breathable at all. But them I'm bald and ride an ebike so that is no issue for me at all! I now have an enduro style helmet (also discontinued but similar to...

It was only the prevalence of rear rack batteries that put me off for OP use

Though step thru isn't my bag... This looks really great! Lots of nice touches as previously mentioned Inc the bamboo. Lovely

I have Mary bars like this, sort of half Dutch! https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOMA/on-one-mary-handlebar I have a fix position light with a rubber band style. By using Sugru I reshaped the curve of the light fixing to face forward instead of 45degree angle. When I am back home I shall take...

Maybe something like a Woosh faro with both in frame and downtube batteries might work? In budget, UK warranty, racks, mudguards and rear hub? If your using the rack for delivery weight you can't really have a rack battery too. The weight distribution will be horrible The advatage of the...

OK, I was just thinking maybe a conversion would work for you... if you had a suitable bike already For lots of miles I think you need reliability. That's hub gears and a front hub in my view. Especially in London with all the traffic and stop start. Hub gears you can change at a standstill...
