If you need to go faster for commuting and want less effort than riding today's ebikes, buy (and license and insure) a moped. If you want to go faster for commuting, and are happy with much less effort than a normal bike, buy an ebike. If you don't mind about the effort, but still want to go...

Why that speed? Why not more? Why not more than now, but a bit less than US? Why not [random number]? It is what it is. Some people will never be happy with a restriction.

Last week a chap called me a cheat (light hearted) immediately after explaining how he was really getting in to Zwift.... Right. What’s worse, electric miles or virtual miles?

Convince me not too. I am constantly shifting through 2-3 sprockets on my GX Eagle cassette. An 11-46t cassette is probably enough range for my e-bike. I rode an 11-42t analogue bike for a while and didn't want for a bigger sprocket very often. A Sunrace 10 speed 11-46t weighs a few 10g less...

No problems here. Roval carbon rims and the original Butcher/Eliminators. Rims were pre-taped. Used one of the valves that came with the bike in one rim and a Peatys valve in the other rim. Stans in one tyre, Peatys in the other (because.... reasons). No leaks. Was easy to seat the tyre...

Looks sick with red Lyriks.

My freehub fell off my SL Expert. Pretty sure I saw pawls in there before I wedged it back on.... Also, it sounds really loud like pawls.

A charge cycle is the *equivalent* of a 0-100% recharge. So topping up every work day does not count as 5 full recharge cycles. You'll be getting at least 40 miles per charge commuting, probably more. My worst case mileage on a 500Wh battery is 35 miles (all off road, lots of hills). So, 40...

It's half a charge cycle.

Don't think so. Even when i use the buy-it-later option at the end of the 1 year initial lease, I can still start a new scheme. I could buy a bike every year if I wanted to. 'Technically' the lease would end up being for 4 years in total. 'Technically' you don't own the bike and can't sell it...

I think it varies from scheme to scheme. There are multiple scheme organisers that manage the cycle to work scheme for businesses. The default end-of-lease payment does always look quite high, but there's ways around it. My cycle scheme organiser instead charges you a smaller one off fee to...

Cycle to work isn't necessarily quite as good as it sounds. But it is good. You pay for the bike from gross salary (pre-tax) which is great. It's technically a lease for 1 year. You do not own the bike during this time (but you're still liable if it gets stolen!). If you lose your job during...

My new employer is Halfords too. Do you know if that includes Tredz though, seeing as Halford owns Tredz?

But... but... but it will say SWorks on it!

Right, the ebike version with its ability to drop the travel could resolve peoples' gripes about the SL geometry when climbing...

Is it a GREYP with the plastic fairings removed?

Performance (non-elite)

I've been to London. They already look weird there. Self-facilitating media nodes.

Well, you can't argue with that. :whistle:

Isn't it weird how people don't even see that anymore. We've come to accept that a tonne of metal can drive past, a meter away from pedestrians and cyclists, at 30mph+ And clog up the roads while they're doing it. And be noisy and polluting. And, you know, they dont stop if I want to get...
