    Best kit for Marin Muirwoods 26"

    I found fitting the kit pretty straightforward, probably working out where to fit the controls on the handlebars took the most time to work out,ended up with the throttle on the left with the front gear changer in a strange position which isn't a problem cause I hardly use it,just take your time...

    The Grand Tour

    Best opening sequence of any TV programme I've ever seen, most of it worked, the fake fight with the audience was rubbish but Clarkson shiting himself was brilliant.

    Need help selecting ebike

    Got the chance for a flying visit today, the guy seems to know his stuff and was very helpful and was going to get some bikes out for me to try but I didn't have time. The new premises should be up and running in a few weeks (somebody's going to be busy) and he said if I give him a call the day...

    Best kit for Marin Muirwoods 26"

    The 250w geared hub was a lot lighter than I was expecting and a lot smaller than the 500 DD hub,what about a 500w geared hub if there is such a thing?

    I recently fitted an EBC 250w rear geared hub kit and am happy with it,like you I was thinking 500w(or even bigger) would be better but after speaking with some folk on here and doing a bit of research I went with the 250w kit.i would still like to try out a bike with a bigger motor to compare...

    Am in Glasgow, plenty of bike shops and some good ones in amongst them, I don't use them to much cause I do most things myself.

    Component Placement

    Andy everyone is different, what suits you(sir) might not suit me or him over there, I bought a bike from Gumtree for £30 and fitted a kit to it (£400) and I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I've got a decent hybrid bike that I was using up until a few years ago and I didn't want to...

    Heartless thieves

    Just had a look at some reviews of the lock and it doesn't do that great, could be ok if your just nipping into a shop or something, would still be better than what I've got just now (nothing).
