I've found that my chain needs tensioning every 400 miles or so, I wasn't keen on having to keep moving the wheel in the alloy drop outs. So now all I have to move is the pivot point on the fixed tensioner. I think your Rose has drop outs that are separate from the frame, probably a better idea...

I've been tempted to up the gearing on my bike, I find myself in 7th and 8th gear an awful lot, wishing I had a couple more gears to go at. I'll probably end up with an 11-speed hub in the not too distant future. Certainly derailleurs are more efficent, But with the Bosch I think having a hub...

This chart is always interesting, assuming we have the sprockets and cogs as in the chart your 1st is a bit lower than 1st on my 8-speed hub. As you say hills really hammer the battery, I see half my 400 wh battery vanish on that 1 mile climb I linked to earlier. Steep hills are unavoidable...

Actually I didn't have my forks locked for the climb, I was sat down and not really going for it,

It certainly isn't the Bosch system Alex, on this segment into a fairly brisk westerly wind I've done it at 10 mph in 7.01 mins. When you consider how fit second placed man Tejvan Pettinger actually is, it shows how good the Bosch system is.

Well done Rob, I take it you were in Turbo at the failure point? locking the forks does help for honking for sure. Is this the right bit? Strava Segment | Iveston if so I imagine I could climb it at circa 15 mph given the advantage I have on most local segments.

They do look weird on the the road, I've only ever seen one so far, weirdest bike I've ever seen.

Tubeless, not entirely sure how they seal the spoke holes. Buy Ultremo Tubeless https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t8dS4nQ_yW4

I've been getting an awful lot of creaks and groans from my Bosch motor lately, I was close to opening it up to do a bit of grease redistribution. I know that having the right chain tension makes a huge difference. I've not been keen on the idea of having to keep moving the wheel back in the...

It's mjwobble that has thrown a spanner in the works. Given that others rate the CD I personally wouldn't take much notice of mjwobble without them giving more information about their cycling experience and ability.

KTM importer FLI are posting photos from the show. Not many e-bikes, but a few. https://www.facebook.com/KtmBikeUK?hc_location=stream bikeradar https://www.facebook.com/BikeRadar Road.cc are there too, not really e-bikes though Eurobike 2013: Disc road bikes from Specialized, Bianchi...

Was that with you pedalling or expecting it to go up the hill without pedalling? I ask because a friend is just about to buy one.

^^ If you have the car then why not, I hardly ever use my car these days since getting my new e-bike, but I wouldn't want to be car-less.

The 2013 KTM Macina Cross was their best selling e-bike in 2013. Gone to MTB now for my liking. But they are doing a version similar to this years, E-bikes start at page 180 http://issuu.com/gdbg/docs/ktm_partnerbook_2014
