    Are tyres & tubes really so much easier to change nowadays?

    As explained on my other thread regarding tubeless tyres on our first outing with our newly converted pedelecs my partner's front wheel got a puncture & our trip was aborted. Today for the first time in probably 50 years I changed the punctured tube for a new one & found it fantastically easy...

    Tubeless recommendations

    Thanks for lots of interesting comments. As mentioned these are hybrid bikes & mostly used on the road with occasional off-road on e.g. footpath in a country park nothing extreme. The tyre size on both bikes is 700x38c. It sounds like tubeless might be more faff & expense than is warranted &...

    We have just had our hybrids converted to pedelecs by Woosh with powered front hubs & are very pleased with them. Unfortunately on our first proper outing last weekend my partner got a puncture on her front wheel & as we were unprepared our ride was aborted. It got me thinking regarding going...

    Need help with choosing right ebike.

    Looking for someone to convert two bikes

    So I understand. We were already extremely impressed with the bikes we hired which had front hub motors so if rear or crank are better yet we will be doubly pleased.

    Looking for someone to convert two bikes

    Thanks, that sounds perfect. I didn't realise they did conversions or that you could visit. The website gives the impression that they are mail order only. My partner comes from Southend & her eldest who still lives there has just made her a grandmother so we don't need much excuse to visit...

    Really impressed with rented e-bike

    My partner & I have been so impressed with the electric bicycles that we hired while on holiday in Brittany that we would like to equip ourselves in the UK. To that end I have started doing extensive research on all things e-bike first off by finding & registering on this forum. We are late...
