I wondered if anyone had either found or in a position to point me to a review of the BionX PL250 HT SL XL lightweight/hi power kit. I am considering kit options for a Trek 6000

Whats new? I thought all our 'big boys toys' were extensions of our batteries :):):)

The magnet should actually be on the rear wheel and not the front. If you take it off you cannot risk having the problem again and might be in for a pleasant surprise :)

I must admit I find a lot of the hijacking of the topic regarding looks etc are becoming a 'drag' :):) Eddio can you give us a bit more info on how it deals with hills and have you established a range yet? Where are you based. I would love a go. Have any niggles been come up yet?

Just had another quick look at the Daahub installation video on youtube. The alternative is to mount the battery on the seatpost going out over the back wheel.

Hi Blewit, That explains an hour an a half of frustration. I guess the lugs on the forks were truer. So I get this right for tonights fun. To start I should set the Red dial to its mid point. Release the cable fitting so the calliper reverts to its full release position. Take up the slack...

Hi Scarrabi, I have the Bighit. I can confirm there is a dramatic power difference from 1 - 3. If you are zipping along you must be stuck on 3, I would guess. How are your brakes? I am struggling to get them right. I have the front one settled down but cannot get the back right. Either dragging...

I have read various articles on tweaking the Promax D400 mechanical disc brakes fitted to the Bighit. I have managed to get the front working fine. I cannot achieve the same with the back. I have tried all the different methods I have read to no avail. I cannot seem to get it right. If I get the...

Now I know I shouldn't have posted my weight in my Bighit posts !!!

Is there going to be much difference in a 32 and 34 tooth first gear. My existing cassette has a 32 tooth and the megarange has a 34 tooth. Would I gain much by going for the 34 tooth in hill climbing ability.

Schwalbe City Jet. Anyone tried these? Seem to be very good value.

Thanks guys. I already have a computer fitted but nice cheap speedo. I will probably give it a couple of weeks and try and see how I get on before I change the brakes or gear ratios. If anyone could recommend a good saddle though I might change that to try and stop the numbness. Another thought...

Thanks for the input. How long should the disc brakes take to bed in? Obviously the gear and saddle issues are not tearing urgent but the brakes are an issue I would like to prioritise. I cannot see how the manufacturer would raise issue with me upgrading components in any event. Obviously if...

Flecc, it comes with a Acera derailleur as standard. If I was to use a Shimano Acera Megarange 11-34 would it just be a straight swop of the cassette?

I was in first. How much do you weigh?

First real test, Cyclist Weight, Brakes, Saddles and gear ratios plus off topic nostaligia Set off at 07:15 for golf. I leave my clubs etc at the golf club. The new pedal/shoe set up was working well and enabled me to create the pedaling 'disc' feeling that I remember from my teens. It...

Day two Thanks for all the tips. Woke up this morning to find that my feet were killing me. I had been riding around last night in deck shoes and the pedals on the Bighit are quite fierce in their design. I bit the bullet and bought a pair of Shimano PD-M324 SPD one side flat the other. I have...

So I should just run it down to say one green light left before I charge it?

Just did another 5 miles. Tried going around some of the local hills. It gets up them although I might be down to about 7mph in first gear. The throttle will not seem to do it on its own. To be honest I always planned to pedal so its no big deal. Is it simply a matter of removing the magnet on...

Well Phil was as good as his word. The Bighit arrived today and he had taken the trouble to email me last night to let me know that he had charged the battery and pumped up the tyres. I got it home and it did not take long to put together. Someone has previously described the build quality as...
