As a formally trained "hands on" engineer, I am very confident that I am able to resolve pretty much any mechanical issue that might arise on my bike. I'm conscious though, that a banker night have unparalleled insights on how I should manage my pension but could be absolutely clueless when...

Anthony, here's my thinking on the Loam dropper post from another thread, really works well for me: https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/shock-absorber-seat-post.46770/#post-704706 I previously used a Thudbuster ST which I've moved onto my Specialized Tricross. I have just invested in an...

Update 13,0000 miles Just completed the second oil change on the Rohloff, installed @ 6,800 miles. Every day I marvel at the experience of riding with Rohloff......fit and forget apart from the oil change. The addition of the Loam seat post(mentioned on the seat post thread) and lupine slx front...

The AXA light supplied with my Raleigh Motus GT in 2020 (Not the best) stopped working....In researching a suitable integrated replacement I came across the Lupine SL X. To put my situation in perspective, I gave my car away to my son in 2022 and my bike is my sole means of transport. This...

I've installed a Loam dropper post from PNW components, dropper posts are normally associated with the MTB fraternity but I was attracted to the possibility of lowering my Brooks B17 by 125mm on demand from a lever on the handlebars....Why? Much easier to mount and dismount, at 65 years of age I...

I've been very pleased with these from Hafny. Very reliable with a good fixing set-up, solid in operation with a great field of view...

I cover 150 miles a week, 60% commuting and shopping etc, 40% pleasure rides including gravel trails etc. At the end of June after two weeks of riding South Wales valley trails, I had significant pain in both shoulders when attempting to lifting my arms past head height. I realised that apart...

Update, 11,00 miles, after having 3 punctures since fitting the Tannus armour I could not recommend this as a solution, the only benefit for me is that you can get home SLOWLY on them but you can also do this with a can of foam for a fiver. The only upgrade left for me were the front forks...

One last tip about riding in the rain especially if you have big feet....I'm a 13, the various overshoe solutions don't work! These are brilliant, low cost and totally solve the problem https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0031JQPCE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've never really had a problem even in strong wind, riding into a wind is one of the key advantages of riding an Ebike. The other accessory I would not like to be without in rain is a hat with a long peak under my helmet, it stops 90% of the rain hitting your face, it's surprising how annoying...

I have a Vaude poncho that ticks all the boxes in terms of keeping me, my hands and everything else dry no matter what you throw at it....It's waterproof! .. very simple....end of story!...no need to invest in expensive £100+ claims to be breathable(Goretex etc) that ultimately will have you...

BTW if anybody is looking for an upgrade from Purion to Intuivia PM me, everything included, mount cables etc £45

OK, I agree that Saneagle has picked me up on a statement that I made that as an engineer by profession, I understand cannot be true, the battery will obviously be less efficient per 100 charge cycles and it cannot possibly be as good as new, the question is by how much?.....I'm 18 St, so I...

I am planning to buy a new spare for touring so when it arrives I'll be able to provide a very accurate assessment/update of the relative health of my 10,000 mile battery

The range is extraordinary 526%, the Nexus in gear 1 is equivalent to gear 6 on the Rohloff, it will tackle any climb....at the other end gear 7 on the Nexus is equal to 11 of 14 on the Rohloff. Also the Nexus completely packed up on me after 6,700 miles

Not really......Bosch actually guarantee their batteries for 2 years or 500 charge cycles (whichever comes first). This doesn't mean your battery will pack up after 2 years and 1 day. In fact Bosch themselves state that the battery should be good for around 8-9 years or 1000 full charge cycles...

Still on the original motor and battery, both going strong and I'm still getting the same range as day one. As above I changed the Intuiva for the Nyon display just recently. If anybody is interested the Intuiva with mount and cable PM me

It's now a very different bike to the one that was delivered. I have taken advantage of the CTW scheme over the last 2 years to upgrade it into my "Perfect bike" Changes that I have made: Nexus 7 speed-> Rohloff speedhub (Gamechanger) Stock seat...

I'm already running Marathon e plus with slime inner tubes, most of my punctures are glass. I invested in this stuff from Amazon, and fair play it has got me home after the last 3 punctures. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0064MLMR8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1 This week I fitted...
