Hello everyone,
I'm a new member to the Forum, 64 yrs young, retired and have just purchased a Kalkhoff Agattu.
Very impressed by the Forum - lively and knowledgeable.
Although bought to replace my wife's Yamaha XPC - thought to be irrepareable (lack of spares) but now as good as ever - I'm now enjoying the Agattu.
So, a few beginner's questions please:-
1) The Shimano 7gear hub - 6th & 7th gears appear to be useless in that they are no higher than 5th? Anybody agree?
2) Any recommendations re cycle computers? I am more concerned about robustness as they all seem to have plenty of functions. Wired or wire-free? Good LCD visibility?
3) Flecc - enjoyed and impressed by your Agattu review, many thanks. When you did the battery range test, why did you not fully charge the battery then total mileage up when the battery was "flat"?
Any help would be appreciated, looking forward to future Forum exchanges.
