Can't stand it! Couldn't use top gear at all today the slipping was so bad. Booked it into the shop tomorrow morning. I'll let you know what they say.

Yup. Do that. Start in 6th,skip,skip, skip. Move to 7th, same thing. 8th...... When up to speed in top, skip (works fine for a minute or two), skip and skip. Effin annoying. First to fifth are useless on the road - way too low. Probably would be fine off road but not tried it.

I generally only find gears 6-9 of any use. It skips in all of them. Probably mostly 9, but I'm mostly in that gear anyway as it's a more rural commute.

Thanks - but I've been there, done that, no difference.

Apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn't find it. I've recently bought a new Haibike sduro Cross. It's now done about 300 miles or so but it's been suffering from chain slip/skip since day one. It only does it under load (pulling away from junctions can be really hairy). All...

He's spot on.

Hey, I wish my Mrs had the same attitude as you. 'What? How much? You're *****n' kidding me!' was the response I received when I broke the news.

Yeah, that's something I don't want to look at for a while.

The time for procrastinating is over. I've taken the plunge and ordered the Haibike sduro Cross, with a badass. Should be here this week and I'm soooooooooooooooo exited!!! I'll post up a few 'old and new' pictures when it arrives and let you know how I'm finding it. Thanks again to all of...

I'm not. Cube hpa400 is on my short-list, as is Trek. I wasn't that taken with KTM - they appeared to be 'a bike' KTM have just stuck their name on (but maybe I'm wrong and apologies in advance to all the KTM owners I've just offended). I'd LOVE a Specialized Levo hard tail! I took one out...

Very easy. Just for a muck-about really. I would be taking my nearly 5 year old daughter along with me as she likes to be mucking about on her bike too.

Hi, Thanks for offering a different perspective. What you're saying is exactly what I'm worried about (no benefit) but to answer your question... I'm dripping with sweat and gasping for dear life in both directions. More so on the way home as I'm 6 miles inland and it's a slight incline the...

Hey folks, Thanks for all your responses. All I'm hearing is good things! Just to clarify - I'm 48 and 11.5 stone. I don't consider myself particularly fit, but I do/did go to gym a couple of days a week. I just started commuting in on the bicycle about 2-3 months ago to get some exercise...

Hi everyone. Newby - please be kind. Thank you I've been looking at buying an electric bike to replace my much loved 1997 Specialized Rockhopper. I bought it new, and I haven't had anything else since, so I've no clue whatsoever about current bikes. I commute into work on it and it's about...
