    I need a bike shed!

    For my motorbike I use a ground anchor that I concreted into my garage floor, with an anti-pinch pin, chain and padlock... The pin passes through the hub of the rear wheel.. Im considering doing similar when I get my ebike, passing an anti-pinch pin through the frame etc.

    Transporting ebikes when towing a caravan

    This could be another option inside your caravan.. If you didn't want to drill holes in your caravan floor then I'm sure a suitable timber base could be devised that just sits on the floor and doesn't move/tip over?

    Transporting ebikes when towing a caravan

    Inside the caravan might be best. I haven't got an ebike yet but for my normal bikes I use a Maxxraxx which has a bracket left fitted behind my towbar. I hitch the caravan to the car and then I just slot the upright pole into the bracket and hang the bikes on. The rack is further secured by...

    I need a bike shed!

    There was a guy on Dragons Den recently selling secure bike lockers. Anyway, the vertical Asgard shed looks great for in my garage to add security to a bike. But I do wonder about condensation forming on the inside. All metal sheds Ive an experience with have suffered with terrible...

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    Im going to try and do that at a Bike Fest I'm attending later this month, assuming they have the 2018 bikes.

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    Thanks. I seem to be constantly switching preferences between the current CX and the new Active Plus, which kind of effects which bike I buy. (Cube Race or Cube Acid). I used to be very indecisive, but nowadays I'm not too sure :)

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    So are you saying the 2018 Active drives disengage completely when unassisted, giving a ride more like a normal bike?

    News: NEC Cycle Show: 22nd to 24th September

    Im not sure, as I've never been before, but Im lead to believe its mainly for viewing the 2018 bikes, not purchasing.

    Just been shopping! Cube Reaction Race 500

    I'm sure you are both correct. Im sure my visit to the Cube stand on Saturday should answer all the niggling questions I have in my head :)

    Just been shopping! Cube Reaction Race 500

    Im just a little unsure how any difference would feel between the CX 75Nm motor and the Active Plus 50Nm motor? Or maybe i wouldn't really feel any difference?

    Just been shopping! Cube Reaction Race 500

    Thanks. I'll mostly be using it for commuting but possibly some off roading maybe. So Im wondering if the CX motor would be ok for road riding, I could then use it for off roading if I choose to do any. Otherwise the Active Plus might be a better choice when commuting.

    Just been shopping! Cube Reaction Race 500

    Fab looking bike Ballynoes. Ive narrowed my choice down to either your Cube Race or Cube Acid. The only reason I'm not sure which one to get is because I don't fully know the difference between them. I shall be asking at the Cube stand this Saturday when I visit the Cycle Show. I know the...

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    So would you say the new 2018 Active drives are definitely worth seeking out for someone like myself who is about to purchase an ebike? Or are they just a change for change sake? With the new 2018 Cube bikes I'm interested in, only their Acid model have the Active drive.

    2018 Bosch Drive Units Differences?

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: That is not good! I will give my local bike shop a call and see what they say. I will also ask Cube when I'm at their stand at the Cycle Show next weekend. Depending on what they say, you might see on the news that the NEC has been burnt to the ground by a very angry...
