RB what do Shimano use?

What's a ball park difference in price between taper and isis? I can see you are a man who appreciates quality and when I was a lad you generally got what you paid for but in this fast paced world we live in its profit over quality and in many cases as flecc mentioned we don't always get what...

Here is some real cheap crap but you will see them on ebay selling in droves for £150, China FOB £30 put a cheap hub set £250, work out of your garage you can compete with Halfords specials lol

Agree 100% There is also a significant value placed on the experience and reputation of a company such as Woosh, personally I would rather pay an extra 1 to 2 hundred quid for that over an eBay bike. However I would buy a normal pedal cycle on ebay or gumtree to have converted. The Chinese...

Absolutely, it makes owning a decent bike worrying.

The only slide rule you have on the maxdrive RB is the one on ebay for £1,075 however the company looks questionable. For me despite the price I would feel more comfortable buying from WOOSH or AMPS where we would have some level of support.

RB The first one is the MAXDRIVE the second (cheaper) is BEWU. The 8fun BBS01B FOB is £240 on ebay they are selling at about £445 but you are getting support and I'm guessing the shipping won't be cheap. Im waiting 4 MAXDRIVE price.

Tony, you are right got mixed up it's $840 with the 8fun Max Drive Its this one with the Bewu that's $650 Am I fired? LOL

I have a house here and will travel frequently so won't be shipping anything back to the UK. The girlfriend will use it im sure.

Woosh spot on with the Bewu but I believe they will be bringing out a new model soon to compete with Bafang that doesn't need a spider tool.

With good negotiation This model is around £540 FOB, less if you go for a lower spec frame etc.

The only warning drumbeat I hear is the proprietary frame required to house the motor.

Well, I guess in terms of professional racing or trials then a 10% increase in performance may make the difference between winning or losing hence the high tag. Frankly I'm quite amazed in a fascinating sort of way at all of the different brands, bike types and components, it's impossible to...

100 thumbs up for that, agree completely.

Yes, the world and products changing and not really so much for the better. I'm very familiar with SKF from the days I worked in the motor factoring business.

How is it possible? Material? Way it's engineered? Or clever marketing ;-)

It baffles me the differing component prices. This is what the bike should look like when assembled.

I'll give it a go in the morning, thank you again, appreciated.

I think so too, from what I've seen on ebay the mark up is about 80% less shipping costs.

Pedal spanner Can I use one of these?
