    Cost of replacement battery for Bionx

    Has anyone actually replaced a battery on a bionx system and if so what was the cost. In particular has anyone replced one on a Trek/Bionx bike?

    Looking for donor bike suspension or not?

    I am looking at the possibilty of converting a donor bike. Should I go for suspension or not? The road surface on my planned route is horrendous. Should this be the guiding factor or the weight reduction of no suspension be more of a priority to help with hill climbing performance?

    I am exploring all bases. I am looking for quality v VFM. Trouble is I have bought the 'value' item before and ended up being not satisfied and ended up going back and paying for the best.

    Pro Connect Disc - Frame size and stability

    I thought as much Thanks Flecc. I thought as much. I agree about a wing mirror. Having been a motorcylist for many years I kept looking for the mirror and then did the 'life saver' look over my shoulder. I have to give praise to the quality of the bike though. Very impressive.

    Pro Connect Disc - Frame size and stability

    I had a test ride yesterday on the Pro Connect Disc. The bike itself was very impressive. I managed to get up some ridiculously steep hills in Richmond that I could have never even looked at when I was young. Let alone a very unfit 53 year old. Brakes in particular are worthy of comment with...
