Riding with 2 bulging discs I've found It's best for me to ride upright. Short of actualy buying a Dutch style bike :eek:, I have a few changes I make to any new bike. NCX seatpost, 3 inch rise bars & a realy short stem (40mm) Not forgetting a wittkop medicus trekking saddle from lidl (previous...

As this I a random thread I'll have a little rant about fiat. Took my car in for a service and first MOT on Monday 15th (3 years old panda trekking). They found a few issues that would not pass an mot :( but it had 2days warranty left:) Rear shocks leaking was one problem, everything was done by...

A quick look a schwalbe's web site and I don't see the plus tyres anymore:( however I do see they now do a "DD" tyre ( double defence ) no reduction in performance but exelent protection :cool: that would be my first choice ;) https://www.schwalbe.com/en-GB/offroad-reader/smart-sam.html

Humm, Do your rims have a depression or smaler diameter in the centre where the nipples seat ? I find by fully deflating the tyre and holding the bead in to the depression on one edge of the wheel, you can get the oposit side off with a leaver ( sometimes a little soapy water helps ) I had a...

Thanks, I thought my baggy shorts had it covered ;)

Not actualy stupid, more that I was deliberately being pedantic. " suddenly WE want low power" I wouldn't be as presumptuous as to tell others what they want. No I just don't see how the quest for higher power fits in with the spirit of the electrically assisted pedal cycle ( pedelec )

Why bother, just get one of these...

I have the cube acid one 500 on order, I'm sure it will be good for longer trail riding days :) https://www.cube.eu/en/2018/e-bikes/mountain/hardtail/acid/cube-acid-hybrid-one-500-29-greennblack-2018/

That's my thoughts exactly and why I'm opting for the 3 gen Bosch motor in my next bike (mid Feb hopefully)

After the performance line Bosch made the CX motor, smaller, lighter and more powerful, predominantly for proper MTB's as opposed to there other motors designed for leisure, commuter and adventure bikes. To my knowllage There's been very little trouble reported with the performance line but the...

Bosch's own website explains each motors best uses https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/drive-unit/ Bosch motor generations 1st gen included both an active and performance version, mechanically the same but the performance motor has a higher max power. There is a gear reduction within the...

Right time and place then YES have a go by all means. Anyone I already knew or I may meet in my "let's ride" group would be welcome but a random stranger who may not bring it back !!!

Assuming you tried all the different power levels, perhaps you were expecting too much. A lot of people look a our choice of transport with preconceptions, expecting electric motorbikes only to be disappointed when they need to pedel.

In this new age of diversity you should be more accepting.

Oh yes, many colours to chose from, I change my grips to match my outfit :p

I covered at least 1,000 miles with those in the OP, for only a couple of quid from China I thought I'd have a go. When out on long rides and your hands get uncomfortable the bar ends give more hand position options for a bit of relief. The rubber part is harder than you'd like so decent...

I could tell you but you wouldn't learn from that :p However you could look at the link I posted and click on the size guide, next to the appropriate bearing code (also in the link) you'll see the dimensions ;);););):););););););)
