I've used Conti Winters and Marathon Plus Tours on my Agattu since buying it and no punctures yet. Marathon Plus MTB tyre on the rear of the Trek, on the motor wheel. Years-old Bontrager knobbly MTB tyre on the front as I couldn't get the M+ on the Bontrager race rim. 1st time I got it on but...

^^ can't comment on something I haven't seen. But they don't deliver to your door and you can't guarantee they'll be on the shelf if you go in for one ! Anyhow, I'm very happy with my Topeak pump and looks sturdy enough to get abuse without flaking out. Don't grudge a penny of the cost and...

A sturdy stable base, a twin-head connection that doesn't need screwing on, doesn't need changing between Presta & Schrader (and doesn't leak) and a smooth and effortless pump action. Plus a gauge that's easy to read !

On DH and freeride bikes I would be a lot more comfortable doing high speeds. Road bikes are the ones which I still struggle with given typical open road surface conditions. With those tyres, if you misjudged it and clipped a bad road repair I'm pretty sure you'd go flying (or worse still spring...

That's what worries me if there is no viz ... also, round my neck of the woods there's always that part of me expecting an overtaking car full of tourists on the wrong side of the road or a wide load vehicle towing a boat or something. Not much chance of avoiding collision or high speed crash at...

Topeak Joe Blow is the nuts. Can't believe I waited so long. Must have been well skint last year - it was all those accessories I kept buying for the 2-wheeler conversion !

Looking good. Hully gully looks fun ! Am getting the twinges for a full-sus, bit more stripped down. Love my Trek Hardtail & it's good for longer rides with all the comforts but I still don't really hammer it as much as I would a more dedicated off-road bike. Very nearly succumbed to one of...

Mountain bikers are a far more easy going and tolerant crowd than roadies. They're all usually happy in their own skin (rather than a second one - in matching colorway), out for a good time and don't feel the need to run in packs .. unless they fancy a bit of company. It doesn't surprise me in...

Mmmm ... if I was going for a derailleur option and settled for a Bosch it wouldn't be a Haibike it would be one of these - which I can pick up in UK no problem : http://www.50cycles.com/product/613525400

Back to the drawing board then by the looks of it ! My bank balance has just breathed a HUGE sigh of relief

Thanks Allan_B ... is this the one ? http://www.hercules-bikes.de/de/Hercules-Ebikes-und-Fahrraeder-im-Detail-160,204,20486,detail.html I'm interested in trying a 350W S-Pedelec with the SRAM Dual Drive - most likely wouldn't buy another 250W crank drive eBike as what I already have will do...

They're absolute masters at rip-off extras in Spain. The 4-day collect full & return empty policy scam is a cracker too (not obviuAVIS that one tho' !). You really need to check the T&Cs very carefully before booking.

OK - thinking again and lost the plot of who is making what... what are the options for the above ? Preferably not a Bosch unless unavoidable. Decent battery capacity essential. Open to options on hybrid vs MTB.

Thanks all. I've done a bit of research following all the recommendations and just ordered a Joe Blow Sport II from Wiggle. Pennies over £30 after Quidco cashback. Looks just what I need & was braced for £85 so well chuffed with the price. Always tempted with the battery thing but in the end...

After far too long working 7 days a week 18+ hours a day (8 weeks straight) I'm finally back up and running after a lot of difficulties last year. Not been out on my bikes for ages until yesterday when after a decent night's sleep, I finally got on the Kalkhoff again. Was such a joy to be back...

Another vote for Bafang 500W CST from me. Still finding no reason to want to change it. Running at 36V / 30A / 20Ah battery. Masses of torque (without throwing you off the bike), fast (12-15mph+) up even the steepest of hills, apart from when the battery is on its last legs and it drops down to...

I've always said it ... don't think that balls-out bikes are the right thing for cities. *stirs pot .... * Anyhoo ... pay the FPN in cash & have done with it. Lesson learned !

Just an update on this - switch has worked flawlessly after the initial issues installing, which were basically down to insufficient experience. Recommended.

This has worked for me without any problems or failure after sorting out the installation for many miles. Magura and Shimano compatible. Combi or normal shifters. Inline switch. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/magura-hydraulic-brake-cut-off-switch.13829/
