Hopes are nice disc, agree. Just a pain to align, also getting some of the bolts off are a pain. Really nice looking bike / set up!

Thanks, cool offer. I'm out their for 3 weeks and in San Fran area for 4 days. I'll mail you near the time. Just hope i can keep up :) Keep in touch these forums have members from all over the world. I'm heading for the Alps Mountains in May so will post some pictures of me in A&E!!!:eek:

Easy enough to replace. How you getting on with the 6 bolt discs. I used to run hopes, but had a few issues with clearance, ended up filing some of brake attachment / calliper away. I'm a convert to centre fit discs now.

Not an over 40 fat club :)

Let's do a 40mph flat club. Has a certain ring to it ;)

Hey, i could join. My best was 52mph, downhill on my race bike. Ahh, it wasn't an e-bike.

Heading out your way in August. West coast trip with family, so no riding for me, but your area looks beautiful. Usual tourist stuff, san fran, LA and parks like Bryce etc. I first got into e-bikes when i was in the Alps, swiss/french border. some serious mountains their with some serious...

I sold my Nyon in favour of the purion. I love the purion as a simple small display and perfect if your going to be mtbing, properly off road. If your doing mainly xc / trail then the Intuvia is fine. I personally think the purion is the most robust by far.

Well after changing dongle to a bikespeed rs, 20t front chainring, turbo mode, nice long flat road and a lot of pain i eventually hit 40.7mph, according to the bosch purion. Bad news is i only managed it as a test for 3 seconds, and i bet my garmin says it was 1mph less. Kind of pointless...

I will get that 40mph! :p

Very kind, might well take you up on that when weather better. i know the norths down well, but not the south. Cumbria is pretty, but trust me it rains all the bloody time. Not for me!

Well any updates Clare?

I bet if you had the time and inclination it would be a great project to convert a standard bike to an e-bike. As a desk bod, i did up my garage and decided i needed a work bench, but couldn't find one i liked or was worth the money. After a bit of googling / you tubing i built my own and to...

Look at all those ties on seat stays, catching all that crud, rubbing against paintwork. It will be a nightmare to clean. Am i putting you off yet?

Only when cleaned bike ;)

Afraid not, I'm averaging 50 miles a week at moment all through winter and for last 8 years! That bike would be sooooo nice without those bloody things, at least get a bell to match ;)

None of them. Buy a charge saddle, cheap, well respected and good quality. I've had £150 saddles there were not as good at the charge saddles.

I live in Ashford, Kent, but we love going to Brighton. Must pop in next time i'm down. Also, after living in Cumbria, yes we do get a few more degrees and sun shine in the south.

Like the bike, but hate the look of mudguards on bikes. I've tried just about all mudguards in the past and they have all been useless to some extent. It's much easier to clean bike without them. I did say i hated the look of mudguards didn't i :)

I kind of get the impression SW can look after himself, and certainly get a job he really wants. I'm the opposite and now work 4 days a week, looking forward to joining all those lucky pensioners i know who retired in their 50's with final salary pensions / golden handshakes :). Shame most of...
