With all the talk of illegal / legal bikes recently I thought I'd try and setup my Alien GSII so peak power fell in line with the EN15194 regs. Really this was just an exercise to see what a lower powered bike would feel like. The E-Crazyman controller I have retro fitted to the bike is...

Anybody have experience of them? I've just fitted a B17 to my PCS and I'm going through the 'break in' process! I've only done 11 miles so far and strangely it feels sort of right in a painful way from the outset! :p Found I've had to raise the nose up where on my normal Speacialised saddle...

Nice break in the weather today so decided to fully test the new drive cog on the Proconnet. I headed to the canal hoping it wouldn’t be too busy or muddy. There were a few people about and some families but not too many. The path was OK and surprisingly well maintained being tarmac’d in...
