Being curious, what I would like to know is how you managed to get a LH threaded stud into a RH threaded hole. Did you use that essential tool, a 4lb "spanner"?

Please, don't mention Apple :eek: I'm having my dinner!

It may be of interest that one 50 Cycles employee has stated that the warranty on a replacement motor is not 2 years from supply and fit as I would expect but runs from that date of purchase of the bike. I happen to think that he's wrong and I hope that my motor doesn't show any of the signs...

That is also my understanding of the law. A manufacturers warranty or a dealers warranty cannot remove any rights enshrined in consumer law. Probably mean a trip to the Small Claims Court though :(

The bike hasn't been delivered yet so I haven't had time to tinker. Will know more next week.

Fortunately I have got the fully auto hub which obviates the need to change manually, although I found that I had to select manual to get the slightly lower gear that is available in manual in order to get up Park Street.

Thanks for this information. I will have to wait for trying the bike on my local hills before deciding on whether to change the rear sprocket. I don't suppose it will be possible to change the controller now that the sale has gone through, even if the seller was amenable.

B****y H**l ! That wheel looks flimsy

Bit too race bike for me :eek:

What brands use a Yamaha motor

Trouble is, I'm a Volvo man through and through. :cool:

Ouch :(

Studied it at length.......with a german dictionary in one hand ;)

I am looking at a "frumpy" bike, specifically the Kalkhoff Ergo with an Impulse 2/NuVinci i360 combination and the KTM Amparo XL with a Panasonic/Nexus 8 combination. Haibike don't seem to do mant "frumpy" bikes.

Opinions sought on the relative overall build quality/reliability of these two marques. I am aware of Impulse 2 "clacking issues", any others?

grovel, grovel :D
