How many members use trailers rather than panniers? On longer runs it would seem a good place for a spare battery. One cheap trailer is the raleigh mule. Anybody have experience of this trailer?

I see from the kalkhoff site that they do use the odd sram hub including the i motion 9gear. I think the sram hubs are known for being easier to connect/disconnect re wheel removal and the latest i motion are simply a lift up and out wire job from behind a sliding cover. If the i motion hub...

In the swirl of agattu/pro connect talk not alot said about the tasman.It shares the current kalkhoff family trait of being equally unobtainable but presumably not ordered by anybody yet on the forum. Whether it does indeed arrive in april or may or june (!) what do you think of the brakes? Are...

With most consumer goods for warranty work the goods have to be as purchased, not modified/altered at all. I presume that as 50 cycles are remocing the original sprocket for a size requested by some customers this would not be an issue if a fault occured. what do you think?

I suppose a brief pdi will not always pick up a problem with hub gears though the owners have been on to it quick enough. I dont know how many owners of the kalkhoff exist on the forum but i have counted 4 duff hubs now. apparently there has been a much increased demand for hubs generally...

one opinion expressed is that thieves are less likely to target an open frame as diamond frames are more numerous/popular and easier to sell on. what do you think? and are electric bikes more or less likely to be a target? all things being equal. anything that is not locked up/nailed down...

In view of recent posts highlighting the problems of heavy traffic and poor driving skills and the state of disrepair of our roads is the bike of the future one with the biggest tyres, stonking suspension and enough on power to twistgrip out of trouble when need arises? sounds like what i...

some sources quote varying reports of reliability of the nexus 7 but in terms of the greater stresses the panasonic system will place on the hub does one hub have the advantage over the other do you think in terms of long term reliability?

Have you noticed that ch white have now added to the electric ciao with electric versions of dahon mu, impulse, and glide? what do you think of these? any idea what electric hubs they are using? or whether the rack will be stressed by the battery as well as luggage? folders are certainly...

How effective are electric bikes at reducing our petrol miles? Last year i did 6000 miles by car and around 2000 miles by piaggio scooter. This year i am hoping to replace the scooter with an electric bike and so edge down a little further my contribution to pollution. how about you?

groans aplenty? cycling media and forums frequently return to this topic usually with the claims of the latest wonder spray. i must admit to be utterly confused by all the jargon connected to the various competing lubes. flecc tried and tested method with hub bikes, grease seems...
