So as with a lot of owners, if everything is going well you don't think of your owners thread :rolleyes: Anywho, everything is fine with the bike and I'm loving it, now close to 600 miles but as I've been riding more trails & bridal-ways than usual that's a lot more saddle hours than 600 road...

Very cheeky but just between you and me. 57 years old (birthday today so you can wish me a happy birthday if you like :)) 5'8" tall and just a guess at 15+1/2 stone but it may be more as I haven't weighed myself This year :rolleyes: Just as important is your fitness, any torque sensor bike will...

As a Cube fan, I'd be looking at the cube cross hybrid one 500 the 500 battery will give you more range than the two bikes you mentioned RRP £1799 but I've seen them advertised for less than £1600. As the winter is aproching Bike sales will start to drop off and a good deal could be had.

If you go the halfords route, don't forget that a £30 ish British cycling membership will give you 10% off at halfords :cool: Climbing ability active line plus Today while exploring new trails and bridalways I came across the gnarliest bridalway climb I'd seen. Needless to say, I had to have a...

No, yes and yes :p But seriously bearings will fail eventually and yes in the past I've bashed my shins plenty. for years now I only ride in cheap fell running shoes with spikey soles, my feet never slip off the pedals ;) grippy shoes are better than grippy pedals (IMO) :cool:

Looking at your replies so far id question Who has actual first hand experience of riding an active line plus rather than just reading about them. Personally my cube acid one hasent failed on any hill I've gone for (on or off road) and I've only been a natts whatsit slower than my mate on his...

Yes that's puzzling, a motor on a crank drive bike can't have any braking effect as the rear wheel will be the same as on a unpowered bike and the hub will freewheel. As the Crossfuse is a halfords bike it is quit possible it was badly assembled and you experienced binding brakes or something...

I'd have to question your comment that the crossfuse dose not freewheel, it has the same motor as in my cube acid one and with the power off my cube rides like a non assist bike, Just a little heavier ;) Actually on any given hill it rolls faster than my non assisted bike :p

Heres a question for a Bosch specialist. I see that Bosch dealers now have the ability to alter the torque profile to compliment shorter cranks. As I use shortened crank arms due to my arthritic knees so I'm now wondering if I'm missing out, can my active line plus motor (2018) have its...

Cube for me every time, I have an acid one, same Bosch motor as in the crossfuse but everything else is better than halfords (IMO) Rutland cycles have a presence on this forum and Anthony was very helpful when it came to pricing my cube. Also they have excellent customer support in store. One...

I've had both versions of the Bosch active motor, 1st gen & now the 3rd generation. The first gen motor has an internal gear reduction and a noticeable cutoff, saying that it still rode above cutoff and my top speed down hill was 49mph ( gutted it wasn't 50:( ) As others have said and I agree...

If that bothers you, it time to either get fit or get a motorbike :p

I don't even notice the backwards motion in fact it's a natural movement for your body when riding. In my experience your Basic up/down posts tend to wear and/or cease due to your body wanting to push it down & backwards but the post movement is down & slightly forwards

Not such a good idea on a brand new car. If the dealer says not designed for a tow bar and I then have one fitted, bang goes the warranty.

I wouldn't ride a bike without one. There's lots of positive comments in old posts, http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/%C2%A31700-full-embt-which-one.31587/#post-441950

Bummer, :( so I've been waiting for the new turbocharged Picanto gt line for many months and it's due in the showroom next week. All good so far but I've just been told that the Picanto doesn't have the correct chassis to mount a towbar :mad: Dilemma, buy the car I want and use a rear hatch...

Hi, I've just ordered one of these 2 bike towbar rack max weight per bike 30kg so good enough for my cube :cool: https://www.rutlandcycling.com/accessories/bike-storage-transport/peruzzo-pure-instinct-tow-bar-2-bike-rack_459170 Expensive, I suppose so but I had £174 of in store credit :) now I...

I agree a miscommunication. I will say I use a double locknut every day when setting depths on my drilling machine also use a double nut setting the workpiece position on my laser welder, saying that I'm also out of date. Let's not worry about it, in 100 years we'll all be dead and forgotten...
