Bear in mind that if you have new snow over ice even studs can find it difficult to cope, when the top layer slides over the bottom layer you can still be in trouble. I'm not saying don't do it, just be aware that studs don't cope with all conditions well and are no better than normal soft...

I would hate the bars to be higher up, they look far too high for me as it stands. (all down to personal preference of course);). Give the brakes time to bed in and all should be fine.

If you don't have the legs then torque sensing crank drives aren't for you. Going up Alpine / Dolomites climbs like that can easily take over half an hour on an ebike. If you can't sustain 250W from your legs (close to pro territory for that length of time) then your Bosch/ Yamaha isn't going to...

Totaly agree but I was talking more about peoples expectations, experiences and requirements . I personally run soft sticky (ish) MTB tyres (Maxxis DHF 3c Terra compound on the front and a Maxxis Ardent on the rear)and don't expect them to last particularly long on my Haibike but I want all of...

Don't forget what is slippery to some is fine to others, depends how hard you are pushing them. It's the same as hills, one persons hilly ride is anothers flat daily commute.

When I replied I had not looked at Fin's profile and did not know she was female. In my work I spend a lot of time teaching young (mid fifties) women how to ski. I am very happily married and have no wish whatsoever to put that in jeopardy, I do however have some free time over the next couple...

Didn't see any professional cyclists in there anyway. Just for reference the guy that won yesterdays stage of the Giro d'Italia was putting out 1470W during the sprint at the finish. We know unrestricted ebikes are faster than non powered bikes as even pros struggle to put out more than...

Not quite your area but reasonably local (for the next few weeks anyway) if you want to meet up and go for a ride I can do that more or less anytime in the next 2 weeks.

Raleigh don't necessarily make the decisions, they are owned by a Dutch group called Accell, they are the biggest ebike manufacturers in Europe. Quote from their website Accell Group is also Europe’s market leader in electric bikes. The company’s portfolio includes strong national brands and...

The saddles on all of them look very low to me!

Usually able to get through them by standing the bike on the back wheel, it can be a bit of a pain but usually with a bit of manoeuvring it's possible.

I wasn't thinking so much of you, just some of the replies in general. The issues you are talking about here are usually simple set up or maintenance issues, i.e. cables sticking or just in need other adjustment. If that is not the case then something has been damaged, bent mech or mech hanger...

The only chain I have ever snapped in riding over 5k miles/ year for the last 10 years or so was when a bike shop helpfully shortened the chain during a free first service! It was the only time a bike shop has done any work on any of my bikes and I only took it back for the first service because...

Nice, pleased you enjoyed it.

I've never actually had the Haibike on the Corsa, just noticed the weight sticker when I put my MTB on to bring it back to the UK last weekend. Whilst I agree the battery should be removed you do need to ensure that the terminals are well protected and waterproofed, having just cleaned the MTB...

I have 2 options, if I am using the TT I can transport the Haibike in the back no problem ( apart from removing seat, wheel, forks, handlebars, pedals, chain and the rear mech ) with the rear seats up or if I am using the Corsa it has the flex fit bike carrier built in. That will take 2 bikes...

Surely it moves away from the wheel into (beyond if stops not set) top gear!

It's not just top gear that is worn in that photo, all of the sprockets have a burr on them. Wear shows more on the smaller tooth counts as contact with a stretched chain is more frequent. I found with the standard gearing on an Sduro I was frequently in the top 3 gears (unrestricted) while...
