Brooks :mad:Been there done that, id rather sit on a concrete saddle. Tried many, ended up with the lidl sadle, infact I have two, one for each bike :cool:

£31 for 8 & that's for something almost but not quit the right size and no pins either. Even when you find the corect size bushes you'll only save a few quid over the price of a proper kit and you'll still have old pins

Every where there's a hole :eek: and where there's not a hole a surgeon will make you a new one :confused: ( keyhole surgery )

I joined "letsride" back when it was "sykride". It was dead for a long time but 4 of us got together and caled ourselves " Northampton social cyclists" we now have 150+ members (probably only 40 actively get out and ride) It's not a electric bike club but it is social and there's never been any...

Well you kinda asked ;) OK so here's the thing, it at the very pointed end of obscure ! I put new illumination fibres in surgical ridged endoscops* & then laser weld them back together using a 0.3mm filler rod, to see this I'm looking through a 50 X magnification lens. All this sound very...

The Bosch motor system is torque activated, it measures the pressure on the pedals so when you stop pedalling the motor stops, no need for a brake sensor. No one would keep pedalling whilst applying the brakes, would they ? I ease off on the pedals a spit second before changing gear (8 speed...

Just thought, as a comparison the cube acid one is also available with a 400 battery for £1,599

Picked one up today, solid as a rock :cool: Talking to the guys and galls in store with cash in my pocket to buy a stand, the above stand or maybe a park 9, the Ultimate Hardware stand was recomended above the more expensive Park9. Given the lower price I brought a pr of Specialzed flat cycle...

Yes they are good like that, I just went through the process just to see if it realy was available. A good bike if your on a budget or just want a utility bike without any style. I'll stick with the cube I have on order :)

Hi, yes ebikeing is great, the miles soon rack up but getting your butt use to the extra miles can take a while. I've settled on the combination of Suntour ncx seatpost and a Wittkop medicus Trekking saddle ( when in stock lidl have them at £7.99 & I'll buy another )

I'm with D8 on this one, anyone who doesn't fit the above category lives 1/4 mile away and has a conscience, or at least more kit than me ( so I'm the one doing the borrowing for a change ;))
