Which, I think, proves my point. The mark up on a complete ebike is enough to cover the extra documentation costs.

One could... maybe I just like the extra ballast for training :unsure: But the answer would be that there are two reasons: 1) The only way home is up a 2.5km climb with an average of 10% 2) The tracks around here have a lot of soft sand. (Fatbikes are popular, but see above). I just can't...

Possibly more to it than that. I can't image that bike-discount.de would use anything else other than road transport to deliver batteries to Spain, but we are also on the: "Due to legal restrictions this product can't be send to your chosen delivery country" list. (And I do wish they would...

Ah yes, the mythical and mysterious range calculation done by the Bosch motor software. Here's my predicted range after 25km on a ride in June last year...

I think the Magped Enduros are great when used with the proper shoe. The Northwave Origin didn't work out too well with them. The front tread is too aggressive and so the shoe didn't clamp properly. I ended up with FiveTen Hellcat Pros. They are just a smidgen tight but don't give too much...

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

Nope. The accountants were charging me £135/month for that service already. A good reason for dumping them. Also, my Brit registered company working mainly for a German company doing work in Portugal for delivery to a Libyan client via a Maltese office got a bit too much of a headache for the...

It's interesting that you write the above because while the following is, on the face of it true: BUT you have to use a commercial software package to interface with the HMRC MTD system. My accountants wanted around a grand a year for this, so I think the complaint is justified. Now retired...

It's Bosch part number: 1270016119 If you manage to find a reliable source of these at a reasonable price, please post a link. So far, my experience has been "reasonable price = not available, please have one the wrong size" & "in stock = price will make your eyes bleed".

¡No era diciembre! ? ❄☃

I just looked at that video and it only did about half the service needed. Take a look at Dani's video, which shows you how to do a complete breakdown. I've had to strip and regrease my SLX rear derailleur 4 times since I got the bike in January - including not riding it for 2 lockdown...

You are right, of course. I fitted right in. I always used to think I'd be the bloke who sticks his head in the lion's mouth to great acclaim. Instead I discovered that I was the bloke on the broom sweeping the shit out of the lion cage while the other numpty got the applause ?

? ? ? I "retired" 4 years ago immediately after a conference call during which a VP of one of the major oil companies told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. He caught me on a bad day. Okay, they were probably all bad days... I, unfortunately, proceeded to explain to him in very...

Mate of mine here has just sold his E-road bike and bought a carbon framed superlight skinny. He reckons that the motor was only useful up to the 25km/hour, which he reached in next to no time anyway. And that the amount of assistance he got going up the hills didn't really make up for lugging...

I'm being bitter and twisted 'cos I just went through that last week. Including it being explained to me that I was stupid because I couldn't see how to do a contradictory impossibility...

I got mine from here: Cubierta del logo de Bosch Performance Line CX Gen. 4 Don't be put off by the Spanish - it's www.elektrofahrrad24.de in Dresden - so will probably open in English as something else. The logo arrived within a few days. I think the postage cost nearly as much as the...

Fuck Marketing. This is like having a meeting with Project Management when you're from Engineering :mad:

I've recently switched to Magped magnetic pedals. All the benefits of both systems: quick and easy to "unclip"; easy to change foot position (I get foot pain so can't use spd anymore); but enough "sticking power" to hold my foot on when going over rock gardens (where I kept losing my grip with...

The guy doing the website seems to have made it impossible to find the way in from the front page. If anyone is thinking of taking part in the Transpyranees Stage Race 2021, then here's a link that should help: https://mtb.transpyr.com/etapas/

New motor. They're all still under warranty.
