My Boardman MX Sport hybrid ( same frame as MX Comp ) are able to handle at least a 46t chainwheel ( i run an ofset 42t). There are more road focussed Boardman hybrid frames that run big chainwheels but less tyre clearance at the rear . Mine can just about handle a 1.75 inch width (700c/28 dia)...

I think you're missing my point. The Malvern hills are about 400m high, some of the Swiss Alp climbs on cycling tours are upto 1600m high. Either way it doesn't matter as long as you want to do them and plan to have enough battery range. So I might go up the equivalent of 4 lots of Malverns in a...

A cycling tour can be as flat or as hilly as you like. As long as you plan your day rides well taking into account elevation and much reduced battery range with the climbing involved. Avoiding massive hills on tours means you miss out on some amazing views, like the ones we got from a Cotswolds...

They still have some cheap non electric bikes on Argos, this for a £100. That would work ok with your unused tsdz2 https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2722135

I did a europe eurorail month with my brov in the late 80s. We visited amongst other countries, Swiss cities Bern, Basel and Geneva. I remember 2 halfs of lager was 8 quid which is probably over £25 in today's money. The hotels were silly money for a basic one without breakfast. We had to travel...

What a great cargo bike conversion and by the looks of it one happy young passenger! Fab story !

Stunning, my kind of tour, thanks for posting A ball ache getting there with the ebikes, unless they are folders or disassembled in which case you can take the TGV fast trains from belgium/france to switzerland, otherwise you are on the TER slow train which takes twice as long (9 hrs from Paris)

I liken taming an Argos speed control beast to mastering a Maico 490 from the 80s. Real men (and women) need only apply

Worth pointing out with our usual crap British weather around the corner, there's some quite big cable holes in the underside of the downtube that are likely to get caked up with crud and fill with water Do yourself a favour and try and seal as best you can. I used gaffer tape, hopefully it'll...

If it was me (and I ride something similar) is to buy a decent £500-£600 hybrid ( https://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/pinnacle/cobalt-3-hybrid-bike-939177#colcode=93917719 )and add a Tongsheng mid drive (if you must have Torque drive) and pair it with a couple of these 36v 25ah batteries (one...

I hope they have sorted out the issues with this motor https://ebike-mtb.com/en/fazua-ride-60-review/

The 360 quid Pulse MTB has a lishui lsw06-hlk1cfsb controller built into the battery base and is rated up to 15a. Here's a pic I have found which is identical to mine on the bike (my pics only show half of the info as its attached to the bike)

Although I have two bottle cage bolts and a third rivnut, I also have two wide velcro straps. My hailongs aren't going anywhere despite some bone shaking gravel tracks

Indeed, a very personal thing...after reading all the rave reviews I bought a brand new Brooks B17 years ago. I tried so much to get use to it, rode it on and off for a few hundred miles. Every couple of years, I'd get the tin of proofhide out and I would have another go and breaking it in with...

Just come home a week ago from a 6 day Cotswolds tour, averaging about 70 miles per day. It took me over a decade and about 7 or 8 different saddles to find my holy grail of comfort long distance touring saddles last year, the selle royal respiro ( moderate shape ) . Not cheap, but worth every...
