    Which Hybrid would you recommend?

    Thanks for those replies! My last bike was a GT Zaskar with a rear hub conversion from Woosh that did really well other than not having great mud guards so would always get a water spat up in my face when the roads were wet and this really annoyed me. Unfortunately it got stolen over the...

    Which Hybrid would you recommend?

    I'm not looking for extreme speed, somewhere around 20mph has been my speed on my now stolen rear hub whoosh conversion which I've found quite adequate for my work commute.

    Which Hybrid would you recommend?

    I've got a price range of around 2-3k and am specifically looking at these guys due to their warranty on tuned bikes. These are the models which seem the best, but wanted to get any advice if some of these have known issues...

    Help! Issues with first time conversion(bad idea)

    I've given the project a bit of a break now after the initial hurdle. Tried again this afternoon and hit another issue which was that the lockring tool isn't able to get deep enough to tighten the head. It gets to the part where the axle and cable jut out and it's too thin to get deeper. Is it...

    Help! Issues with first time conversion(bad idea)

    Thanks for that Woosh. I actually ended up seeing that video before you recommended it but was a bit put off on drilling a hole into the bike and getting a rivot tool as well. Could I get away with just using one existing rivet and then cable tying it as well? I seem to get sparks occasionally...

    Fast hub conversion for 29er mountain bike

    I was wanting to find out what hub conversion would be best to get a cruising speed of around mid 30 kmph? I'm commuting to work in London and it's mostly pretty flat. I figured hub is the cheapest and most reliable conversion. It would be for a GT Zaskar hardtail bike. I'm wanting to order it...

    Convert high end 29er mountain bike or buy existing?

    Hi all, I moved to London about 2 months ago and bought an entry level ebike(ammaco) which has been great for getting around. I wanted to upgrade and was thinking about having my GT Zaskar 29er hardtail shipped over and converting that. Ideally, a kit that could do around 35kmph max for when I'm...
