Hello jec :) The hard and fast rule is quite simply to try as many bikes as you can. That's the only true way you'll know for sure what suits you. It's a good idea to know what you want, but also try things you might not ordinarily think are up your street, as you might just be surprised...

My £9 plastic fantastic, took me less than two minutes to fit and adjust. My £30 Brooksie took me 1 min 7 secs to fit. It was comfortable straight away. Mine was comfy before I got it. It requires no maintenance. I like to maintain things. If it gets rained on, I wipe the drips off with my...

I have three Brooks B17 saddles. One is very old and very well worn :cool::cool: For the nay sayers who say they simply don't understand, I'd like to offer the polarised view that I don't understand why you wouldn't. I had my first one 40 years ago and never looked after it. It was great...

Hello Ken :) Gaz

When I came off a couple of months ago, a pedestrian said 'That's gonna hurt in the morning' as he picked up my payment cards, ID badge, cash, and handed it all back to me. Makes you appreciate the concern and made me feel marginally less of a tit. Gaz

Evening Andras :) Gaz

Evening Pipster :) Have you only had it a fortnight then (no need to answer, I'm just showing off my maths skills :rolleyes:). Gaz

Hello Owens :) I'm sure a bit of pedal assist would make cycling noticeably easier. I'm 6'4" and have nothing to tow apart from me, but still enjoy having an e-bike to hustle along with. Gaz

Another new member to the had an off club. Sounds like you, and the bike, didn't fair too bad, all things considered. Glad you're back up to 'reckless abandon' standards :) Gaz

Same here :( G

Hello Rob :) Nine miles in under an hour is very do-able on a pedelec. Gaz

Ouch! :eek: Wishing you a speedy recovery DD. Gaz

Hello Karen, welcome aboard :) Nice to see you're enjoying it so much! Is it me, or is the tail end of your rear mudguard really close to the tyre? Punctures; the teenager's of holes - nothing better to do, nowhere better to go, always attention seeking! Gaz

Woosh Big Bear, decent sized trailer, and a Phalanx CIWS FTW :D: Button on your handlebar marked 'On'. On a serious note, I rode up the A22 a few times, and now don't for the very reason you raise. It's simply not worth the risk. Go another way if you can, even if it includes a...

Why not have the existing battery re-celled - likely to be a more cost effective solution. Gaz

Excellent bike and a bargain too! :cool: Have fun with it. Gaz

Yes. Every time, without fail. Gaz

Sorry to hear Bear, but welcome to the 'Had an off' club. Mine's still got some battle damage and my shoulder's still waking me up of a night. I was similarly royally pissed off :mad: Hope the shifting issue gets sorted easily. Mine was much better after sanding the rough bits off my brake...

Hello c88dnf :) Well done for coming out of the lurkers closet! Gaz
