Oh and I do still use them on my daily commuter (only set I now have as I sold the other with the 29ER)

So I have used Mary bars on A 29er hardtail A 26er hardtail a couple of 700c hybrids All have had either alfine or 10 gear derailleur gear systems and all had a throttle too. Personally I never had any issue with hand placement for brakes, gears or throttle. They are very comfy bars. I even...

Hey Have a little look here https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/chain-tug-for-shimano-alfine-8/ The issue is getting a tug that will work with alfine anti rotation washers

Wow, I didn't know that but my mother in law just quit after 20 years having become increasingly frustrated at the system and they way it is going

My mate haz one and we swapped posts for a few miles. We agreed the thudbuster was marginally better but it is so much more expensive that we would both buy the suntour

yep. They are UK distributor for lekkie bling rings and other stuff. I have one from them. Darren is very helpful guy over there http://www.brightonebikes.co.uk

That seems a little optimistic in my view and experience. But I cover a lot of miles tbf. And there are batteries made of Chinese junk cells vs those of quality branded ones. I think a good rule is a new battery every 2/3 years. 4 is pushing expectations (my view alone)

Ahh shoes. Well that's one area I like to either have a quality item or be wet and change at work. I use 510 MTB boots. They are not cheap though Best cheap buffs come at tk maxx

OK. Thanks Give me a tick and I'll get back to you BTW iam a year round commuter of over a decade. Only deep snow stops me! If you are serious about mostly commuting 10 miles each way in winter then good warm/waterproof gear is a must. And your route suggests good lights are needed for both...

You cannot do so with button presses. Only in the manner vfr states. I think you are stuck with what you have or sell and buy again. However, It has been done by a other on here. But they bought a new battery and controller and lcd ie just kept the motor And they did so knowing it wasn't...

The last two folks who asked me about folders were 18 stone ish. So no issues here! Just need a budget pls

Oh and the quote you gave refers to there not being a throttle. This is PAS only

What was your previous kit? I assume you already have a battery? What it's specifications? To run this hub will require a veryy good quality battery. Direct drive motors are hungry and bad at hills Why not keep the rest of the kit you have and just buy a motor if that is what's failed? Are...

Hi Saffron It would be very helpful to an idea of your fitness and weight as these play a large part in any reccomends Also where you live as a purchase from a local, reputable supplier with solid warranty and support is invaluable. Also test rides are really useful too Oh and budget too! For...

Actually even with a front wheel conversion I found the chain tensioning a right pain and v regular on my old pompetamine I was loath to go to a tensioner for pure aesthetics only (yeah I know) but when forced by a new frame with vertical dropouts I have utterly loved it ands would never be...

Hi Pete I had a much loved pompetamine till I snapped the frame :( Anyhow I have a alfine 8 bbs conversion. I have a bling rimg which really helps massively. An alfine chain tensioner also helps a bit more and finally a flipped nexus 16t sprocket. They are interchange between nexus and alfine...

Flat roads, go hub for sure imho

Certainly true. I destroyed a pretty new chain and sprocket in a few miles on the beach at super low tide at least a new sprocket for alfine is only a tenner

CUHAWUDBA Didnt they have a hit single in the 90's?! :)

I've been seriously considering these egg rider copies. I don't need, want or use the massive lcd I have Waterproof is even better
