Hi,
I am considering upgrading my current bike to help with my daily round trip commute of 10+ miles.
Woosh bikes predictor sums up my trip as follows: -
Steepest gradient: 10.3%
One-way: 5.2 miles, return: 10.4 miles, outbound elevation: 104m, inbound elevation: 97m
At 10mph: outbound consumption: 62WH, inbound consumption: 62WH, return trip: 124WH
At 15mph: outbound consumption: 74WH, inbound consumption: 74WH, return trip: 148WH
My bike is a B'Twin RockRider 5.1 (XL size, 2011 model) with the only difference from stock being these tyres.
I would like some advice on what type of kit I should purchase which would be suitable for my commute and also for recreational riding on roads and dedicated cycle paths.
Some kits I was considering are as follows: -
Woosh crank drive kit
8Fun crank drive kit
Alien kit
Any advice on suitability of these kits for my purposes would be appreciated.
Also, finally, I would like to add a NuVinci N360 (Harmony shifter would be ideal) at some point too, so kits would need to be compatible with this.
thanks for listening, I'm looking forward to sharing my ebiking experiences
