Was that the sun shining I saw in some of those pictures John?

Link not working for me James.

I think Mark from Hero Eco is going to be there. No one else at Eden was going.

That's a really interesting graphic of the various gear ratios that you posted Artstu. I guess it's down to personal riding style but I find the cadence required to go above 17mph a bit high for comfort in the Nexus 8 top gear. As commented above, the number of gears is not that important with a...

Great video of the Brompton. I'm not sure all that would be possible on my Brompton with extra 6kg on the front. Or with the older Bromptons that don't have the catch to stop them folding up by themselves!

This the only sub £1500 folder with a crank drive that I've seen at all. If you don't particularly need/want a crank drive the Kudos Secret has the battery in the same place at £725. .: Kudos Cycles - e-bikes with style :.

All hub gears (apart from the Nuvinci which is CVT) require a momentary pause, but as Artstu says, it's no big deal. In fact, the benefit of a hub gear is that if you 'get caught' in the wrong gear, you can change to the correct gear without pedalling. Some people prefer hub gears and others...

I can confirm that at Eden, the Agattu step-thru (2012 model) was small framed with 26" wheels whilst the crossbar (2013 model) was medium with 28" wheels. I have both these bikes available for demonstration rides at our North Devon electric bike hire base. I believe that both the Sahels at Eden...

The question is what is it like going up!

Just a couple of comments on some of the topics in this thread. I have just started testing out our rental bikes (Kalkhoff Sahel Compact) on some of the climbs in Simon Warren's books. Started with the 30% hill at Millook last week (near Bude in Cornwall). Such climbs obviously take a bit of...

We (Bike Higher) are sharing 50cycles stand (Eden Project only wanted dealers). Not long to wait now.

Quite a good turnout and a fair bit of interest in the bikes. People really like the look of them.

If anyone is in the Devon area this Saturday you can see us and a couple of our bikes at the Eco Fair at Rosemoor Gardens. It's a nice day out in the gardens too.

Just back from a ride and noticed a lot of play in the headset. Upon investigation there seems about 5mm of play which seems pretty serious. The Kalkhoff manual says I should take it to a specialist shop but I thought I'd try here first. Clips on Youtube show tightening a bolt from the top of...

Kalkhof bikes will also be there (50 Cycles) and we (Bike Higher) will be bringing along a couple of our fleet of Sahel Compact rental bikes to spread the word about our new business venture. I look forward to meeting up with many of you there. http://www.bikehigher,co,uk

Got the same problem with my Sahel Compacts. Have just ordered some of the mudflaps from SJS, hopefully reduce on cleaning!

David, Please could you add Kalkhoff to the list of brands exhibiting at the Eden Project. 50-Cycles and ourselves "Bike Higher' will taking part in this event. Thanks.

I've ordered some too. Just waiting for them to arrive.

I'll try both those suggestions before replacing the tyre. Thanks. Have you come across bluetubes?

I've been having terrible problems with a puncture on my 20" Schwalbe Big Apple tyre. After fixing 3 times I finally replaced the inner tube only for that to go flat as well. The original puncture was a tiny sharp stone embedded in the tyre which I removed. There is a very small slit in the tyre...
