Nothing wrong with the Shimano STEPS in my experience. Have you looked at the Wisper 905 Torque? Hard to beat if you're not planning on riding up mountains. Gaz

Whatever you do, don't do that. You've done your homework, you've got your wish list. Go and try several different bikes that are near enough to your parameters, and see if any sing out a 'yes' to you. Also worth trying a couple that you think won't suit, just in case you're pleasantly...

No, but they're all soft an' fwuffy :)

Clouds are cool :cool: https://cloudappreciationsociety.org A friend in Norfolk has a book in their loo called 'A pig with six legs'. It's a cracking little book about clouds. Gaz

Hello Daz :) I love Dorset :cool: We stay around Bridport and West Bay usually two or three times a year. Gaz

With so many to choose from, you really need to try as many as you can, to get a better idea of what you do, and don't, like. Gaz

Malcolm's 905 Torque in the classifieds is a bargain, and could well be right up your street. Gaz

Getting a comfortable saddle will make a lot of difference. I have several pairs of cycling shorts. I use baggy style MTB ones. And I use separate padded shorts under these. I have some cheapo Chinese boxer type ones, but they're very 'snug' and aren't really my cup of tea. I've found shorts...

Hello Jason :) How far is your commute? Hilly or flat? Will you go off road? How tall are you? How much do you weigh? Do you prefer/dislike any particular bike type? Gaz

Double post - web page slow to respond. G

Ed Zackary :) The greater mass of the earth mover tyre, wind resistance, gravity and friction will all have a greater effect than on the roller skate wheel. The tyre will have greater forces on it that are causing it to slow, requiring more effort to keep it going. It's like going from 17"...

Okay, so you're on a linoleum smooth, dead flat surface, with all the room you could possibly need and nothing in your way. In your left hand you have a green krpytonic roller skate wheel. In your right hand you have a 10' high earth mover tyre. You have them both rolling at 10mph. And you...

Yeah, doesn't necessarily have to be the ones that come with it, but you'll be glad you did the first time you ride through a mucky puddle. Gaz

Spend a bit more and get the mudguards and rack too. Gaz

If you've got an airing cupboard, stick it in there overnight on a bed of uncooked rice to draw any moisture out. Wrap it in cling film to protect it from the worst of the rain when in use. Gaz

Pop over to Bristol and buy the 905 in the classifieds for £100. Save yourself a wadge of cash and have a blast. Robert's your Mums brother :D Gaz

+1 - absolute bargain! I've only just read a comment in another thread saying we're all 'weak', and here's me thinking 'Bristol, hmmm, that's only five or so hours drive away...' :rolleyes: Gaz

My STEPS one rocks in and out from the side. It's not 15ah as supplied though. Gaz

Evening BM :) Gaz
