    Winter cycling jackets

    I don't know so much, do animals see colours like what we do ? In the US of A the hunters wear bright orange, yes it's so they don't shoot each other but to the cute little deer and bears they look brown (so I'm told)

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    Not at all, your probably riding just on the tail of the cutoff, it's probably programmed at 15.5Mph +10% leeway, my cube in turbo still helps a little at just over 17mph. It doesn't matter what the cutoff is set to, you'll still want more, it's only human nature, just a little ;)

    Bosch needed to up ther game or they'll miss out on a fair pice of the ebike market, those of us that like to ride un-powered when possible. Other manufacturers have motors that disengage from the drive line when not in use, giveing a easier ride with reduced drag un-powered. I want to change my...

    time for a change, what's it worth

    With my limited knowledge, I don't think that Cube put IHG on bikes with an off road bias, IHG are mostly found on town, commuter and touring bikes.

    Your not wrong but we all get tard with the same brush as SW Just like my motorcycleing days in the 80's, my regular watering hole had a " no leather jackets " policy, we were only served if we walked to the pub or went by car. No logic to the policy, same people drinking the same beer just...

    NON SOLDERING JOBS

    They are actually a soldered conector and look like a very good idea, used correctly they will handle the current None of the wireing on your bike should have "high levels of heat" if your wireing is getting hot whilst riding, you may have other issues.
