It sounds terminal, hopefully the photos will prove me wrong. web photo on the plus side part of the drop out including the rear hanger is at least replaceable

I take it you did the ride in eco? also I take it the Carrera crossfire was in the lowest setting too? I also wonder what the average speed was for the ride?

Also all bike shops have chains on a roll so can sell you the length you need.

That's rather worrying, no idea why.

My old work mate went quite well recently https://www.strava.com/activities/1689354918 ETA forgot which thread I was in, the new bike looks fabulous David

I love Cragg Vale, was looking up the valley from Heights Road on Sunday evening. What's the bike? Forgot to add that I met a man on a bike the other day who hadn't ridden a bike for 70 years! returning to cycling aged 86, and it was pedal powered only/

Vortecks builds some fast bikes if that takes your fancy.

Yes I like the concept of a very light battery powered bike with a 50 mph ish top speed, one without pedals even, but it's a class of vehicle that may never happen.

Think I'd rather have one of these to be honest

This seems to happen a lot. It is puzzling to me why people think a MTB is a good choice for a road commute of that distance. That requires a hybrid as a minimum.

What's that often used term, "like riding a bike" I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the need for the question. Flecc gives a perfectly good response of course.

what a strange question. surely this issue is with brakes that are better than you're used to.

the gearbox in my car is lovely in this heat, must get around to getting a lighter oil in there for our more normal conditions.

like a Shark

I'm with you now, I hadn't considered you need to see how you get on with them, I'm sure you'll get on with the ones with the spikes (cap head screws sticking out)

I think a circa £2.5K deserves better pedals. It's like fitting cheap Chinese tyres to your expensive sports car! Come on Gubbins you know it deserves better :p

I use these in the link, no slipping issues and don't miss being clipped in in the slightest. I always have issues with the bearings on the right pedal on every pedal I've ever had, these click a little, bearings are adjustable and rebuildable like most pedals. They're quite large...

The error in your logic is that time spent at 25 mph is much shorter than time spent at 15 mph, nice try though.

a range of 100 to 125 miles is what I dream of having.

was it fun? and perhaps more importantly can you do it faster on your ordinary bike?
