My Cube Hybrid Cross Pro 400, Saris 2 bike rack, BMW 330E PHEV. I have all the electric hybrid stuff going on :)

Thanks for that, I’ll see if I can find one.

I'm not keen on £160 for a jacket Bob, like the sound of your Aldi boots. Remember I'm a tight Yorkshire man

I’m new to ebikes and cycling in general. My Cube has the CX motor and it’s amazing for getting up hills in turbo mode. Off road I can do a 45 degree incline in the saddle. You need to turn turbo off when setting of in first gear as you can spin the back wheel or wheelie. It also puts too much...

My commute is 7 miles each way, all down hill going to work and uphill all the way back, not quite, but near enough. I will only get chance a couple of days a week to ride my bike as I cover most of the UK. I’m determined to ride my bike when I can wet or dry. Nice to gain lots of post from...

Cheers Bob, fancy seeing you here. I bet you have all t he lycra gear with a pair of socks down the front of ya pants. I got a bit chaffed yesterday coming home from work, I think I need to change my undie collection from Asda to M&S.

I do have some Karrimor gear I bought cheaply from Sportsdirect. I have some breathable over trousers that seem to work but they are very baggy in the lower leg region. I have a Karrimor jacket that is fairly waterproof but busted the zips on the pockets the first time out on the bike. I need...

I changed mine but not that significantly. The two best things I did was to change the grips and head stock. Specialized Contour XC Grips and fitted an adjustable BBB head stem. Suddenly my bike feels bespoke, like it was made for me. I bought a cheap gel seat which has improved comfort, cant...

I used a cable tie, tyrap not a trap.

Thanks all very helpful.

I have mine insured for the full replacement value plus accessories £2.5k with my house insurance. I use a broker and asked her to find me the best deal. Extra £60 per annum but covers away from home as well. My building, contents and bike for £250. I think contents are £100k and building £1m...

It might be useful for newbies like me to have a general forum rather than having to post in technical. My question is, how do people keep dry on their way to work? My office has no changing facilities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

I must add they were a bit of a battle to fit, you need 3 hands but I used a trap. Stiff bead and side walls. I expect the reflective band on the sidewalls will be good as the days shorten.

Been out on the trails, tracks and road, very wet today. The Marathons have a much lower rolling resistance than the Smart Sam's and great grip, wet and dry, on road and off road. I pumped them up harder today to 6 bar as I'm 110Kg and still great results. Highly recommended at £24 each.

I’m fat, old, not very fit and wanted an introduction to excesize that I might enjoy. Mission accomplished, I might change my opinion during the winter.

Thank you

Thank you, that’s what I was hoping to hear.

Thanks Trekkie. I might buy one. Cheers
