    Fat lad in need of ebike advice

    Though interestingly I bought my bike (one of these: https://www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/Electric-Bikes-UK-Dealer/Cube-Reaction-Hybrid-SL-500-Kiox-2019?filter=85) from them and they were great - as was the follow up service. Lovely bikes - can't comment on the weight limit though Dave

    Fat lad in need of ebike advice

    How about this one - rated for up to 25 stone http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbearplus Never ridden a @Woosh bike but they are active on the forum so perhaps they can advise ? Dave p.s. I appreciate you are in Sweden but nevertheless!

    Garmin Edge 530 GPS Cycling Computer

    On Strava, you can set a privacy guard on your home so that the recorded route only starts at a chosen distance from your home. That way nobody can follow your route back to your house. So unless you are an entirely isolated house or your house is bigger than 500m across, you'll be ok. Of...

    Brompton nano PAS removal

    I remember talking to Tony (who invented the nano kit) and I think he said that the cadence sensor was relatively simple and you could change its behaviour by adding more magnets at the chainwheel. That would reduce the lag before it kicks in. Of course, my memory could be wrong!

    How do I deal with abusive customers?

    All good advice. In terms of social media, stay calm, make sure you have documented all your interactions and use that timeline and content to respond in a very reasonable manner. Sensible readers will reach the conclusion that you have done what you should have (or indeed more) and dismiss...

    Slime With Tubeless Tyres - Any Good ?

    They're not - Marathon Almotion and Supreme are both tubeless compatible

    Slime With Tubeless Tyres - Any Good ?

    I run tubeless on my road bikes, MTB and I'm just about to change my eMTB over to tubeless. A lot less hassle when set up and you can run them at lower pressures as there is no risk of pinch flats. The sealant (rather than slime) seals smaller punctures on the go. If you get a puncture that...

    Cube MTB - 27.5 or 29 for touring?

    I've got a Cube Reaction 29" and whilst I only really use it on trails, when I have stuck some smoother tyres on it, it has rolled well and been comfortable on road. However, on the road I spend a lot more time above the speed cutoff even with the extra weight so the 'e' bit of ebike is less...

    A somewhat newbie question on torque sensors....

    Thanks - will look at a KT controller. The Fazua is genuinely for when I am feeling lazy and don't really want to honk up the steep hills as aggressively. I'll ride the steep ones on my normal road bike on other days so this will just take the edge off :) Dave

    A somewhat newbie question on torque sensors....

    Thanks for both those replies - makes sense. Off to try a few bikes methinks... The Nano is about 3 years old and has a very clear "surge on" and "sudden off" but that was entirely for the purpose of city commuting and local errands where I had no desire to either exercise or get sweaty but...

    A somewhat newbie question on torque sensors....

    Hi all, as one of my N+1s, I've had a front hub powered Brompton (nano kit) for a while which runs off a cadence sensor. I'm considering getting a Fazua assisted road bike and was just trying to make sure I understood how a torque sensor works. Fazua quote assistance levels as white 0% or 0W...
