From the vid it looks like they cross the junction on the right and then join the cyclists waiting at the lights to go in the perpendicular direction. I wish London was more like this. How about an elevated cycle route network around London..would be expensive but a small drop in the bucket...

Bit confused now, and looking online it turns out that there is an enormous controversy about this, with zealous adherents on both sides of the grease debate.. I can see a bit of 'rouging' on one of the spindles, which apparently is probably Al Oxide from the crank arm caused by lack of grease...

I received a commiseration letter from the local police (Met) when my car was stolen a few years ago. Maybe they won't even do that in future.

Resurrecting an old thread, but my local Evans advised me to grease the square taper before re-assembly; why should this not be done?

The Adamo was one of those I tried, but unfortunately I can't remember exactly what was wrong with it. However I do remember that Evans Cycles allow people to buy a saddle, try it out, and then return it if not suitable, which is what I did.

I have a Spongy Wonder. I tried various ones, but this was the only one which felt comfortable and seemed to do the job. The reason I wanted one was that, riding an electric bike, I am in the saddle most of the time when riding rather than standing on the pedals going up hill etc...

The Impulse system is a significant upgrade over the Panny, not just in power but there is less of a knack to ridiing it and not getting caught by the cadence cut-offs and so on. Also being a 'proper' crank drive, that is having the motor output directly to the cranks, and not a chain drive, is...

I had a clacking noise on an Impulse 1 motor. My noise was not every rev but when significant pressure was applied to the pedals, for example when starting of in too high a gear. Even though the noise was not present when the motor was turned off, it was not the motor but the effect of the...

I notice that 50 cycles are still using the 2013 agattu, which is the model I have, for their front page image banner, which is a bit strange since the model has been discontinued for some time. It is probably their most attractive design to date, which might explain it, although the Integrale...

John, do you have any info on the different Kalkhoffs for next year - is it the integrale or are there others?

It's point 7.3 in my version in Impulse 1 chapter.

From the manual: "The battery management switches the battery to sleep mode to prevent it from totally discharging. This can occur after different lengths of time without being used. Depending on the charge state of the battery, this can occur earlier with a lower charge and later with a higher...

I have 2 17Ah Kalkhoff batteries and one of them has been unused for 4 months, but when I got it out today it still had 5 lights. I believe the sleep mode only activates after a week or two. If left for several days, my regular battery would lose some charge, noticeable by going to the next...

Thanks for the answers, so I'll alternate, only thing is one of them is colour-matched to the bike and one isn't, oh well.

I have 2 batteries; they are both the same capacity (Kalkhoff 17Ah). I have only properly used the spare once, when on a cycling holiday in France where daily charging was not possible. Would it be better to use them alternately or put one in cool storage and use it occasionally and when the...

As an update for anyone who may find themselves with the same noise/issue, I tightened the bolts, but unfortunately I overdid it and broke the bolt (I thought it was an M10 for some reason). So having replaced all bolts and the chain and chain wheel, there is still an occasional clack but I'm...

Before i bought my Kalkhoff Impulse (TS) I tried a couple of speed sensor bikes and another crank (Bosch). The reason I preferred the Impulse was that I found it to be cycling as it should be, that is, like regular cycling but a whole lot easier. I liken it to power steering on a car which...

The practice is not unknown, but usually the item is not actually bought but rather the review or comment is entirely fictional. Forum 'sock-puppeting' is also quite commonplace. I am not suggesting that this is the case here. I too have a Kalkhoff and am generally very happy with it, and a...

The Integrale is a bit of a pig imo. The battery section looks bent out of shape and odd; I don't see the point of integrating the battery if it looks like this. I think the Bosch arrangement is still the most aesthetically pleasing.

Chain ordered. When the chain and hub puller arrive I will replace chain and check sprockets and motor mounting bolts..and see what happens.
