I'd have this one if I had the money Haibike

Interestingly the internal part they replaced is also available to buy, although from what I've read it is the hub case that usually wears out, as the bearing races are not replaceable. SG-3C41 Nexus internal assembly | madison.co.uk ooh hang on, I think that's the wrong one, the 8 speed...

If I knew what day and time he was thinking of going up the climb I'd be tempted to pop over for a look as long as the weather was OK. Edit: check out the video, it's a Bosch powered Halibike...

Indeed good luck Robbo, I drove over Holmes Moss today, it was a little wild over there today.

Just a quick update on my Nexus 8 slipping in 8th gear. The retailer no longer dealt with KTM bikes and directed me to find a local dealer. I contacted the importer FLI distribution as they're probably the closest to me. I delivered the wheel to them and they returned it to Madison to fix. It...

The first Briton to win a stage of the Tour de France is about to try and break his own record for the ascent of Yorkshire’s iconic Holme Moss climb - at the age of 83. First British Tour finisher Brian Robinson aims to break his own Holme Moss record - at 83 | road.cc

hmm, round and round they go, I can see why it seemed to passed over my head now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iYu-ItOc2E

a good job She's only interested in legs then :)

I guess so, as I said my Garmin edge 200 is good for reviewing rides and more accurate more of the time than some smart phones, but I really like the simplicity and exact accuracy of my Sigma BC 1009.

Oh wow, I couldn't spot that in the photo sorry :o

I'm out, it really needs at least two chainrings on the front to be of use to me around here.

Hmm I was a bit like this with PC's, very slow to get one, now I couldn't imagine life without one. I'll carry on resisting the fancy phones for the time being :o

I'm a luddite too then. Not sure why a cyclist needs an Android phone though?

Those without android phones, and even those with, the stand alone Garmins tend to be better at accurately tracing your route, I've seen some shocking GPS traces from android phones. I also know someone with a cheap bicycle computer and it is pretty rubbish compared to my £20 Sigma, of course...

I should have said, wired Sigma. I once had a wireless VDO unit and that was troublesome. On my static turbo trainer I have the sensor on the back wheel, but the wire only allows the computer to sit on the top tube near the head tube.

My current Sigma bicycle computer has been very reliable, although it looks like the design has changed since I bought mine. Or if you want to do a bit of Strava or just ride tracking a GPS bicycle computer is good, not as accurate as a wheel sensor device though with the satellite errors. Oh...

I did yes, my drop-outs are horizontal, and the little tab on the tensioner plate is set up to sit in the vertical drop-out like on yours, that combined with the axle flats means I had to cut the tab off to get it to work. A tensioner is essential in my opinion, especially on a chain eating...

that's your loss. however having said that I find myself spinning too fast at times to gain full assistance, so change up a gear to gain more assistance at a lower cadence, it feels counter intuitive to do so at times. I really like the Bosch, it shares the load, but isn't suitable for the lazy...

Very neat, hopefully this one will keep on working.

I feel much safer going faster, on my restricted e-bike there are situations where I need to take the right hand lane and I find it dangerous when I'm going slower, I have even ended up stopping on the left to wait for a gap that never happened when I was fit and healthy on my racer. They're...
