Hi all,
Just taken my old 26 inch 11kg hardtail out just to compare with the trek rail ! I had to stop twice to check wheels were rolling freely ? so different does this mean I will never ride an ordinary bike again ?

Haha same first time i went out on mine after getting Ebike. Went up local hill on it when motor was getting replaced thought it so slow on the climb.

Different riding discipline.

I just had my 29” hard-tail serviced, new chain, cassette, brake-pads, etc.

I am amazed how light it is and ‘chuckable’ into tight spaces. Much slower, but that is my muscle-power issue, not the bike’s.

I use both bikes for slightly different experience

I just bought some commuterish tyres for this carbon on-one 456 I’ve had in garage but been reluctant to sell.

I took it out for a spin a few month ago and found it tediously slow, even for a sub 10kg bike.

So tried it on some thinner smaller nobbled tyres today. Whilst that did improve things it’s still a bit steady on climbs and flat. I think I’ll be using it sparingly unless eBay is fetching strong money still.

On a positive note it was like lifting a bag of shopping and chuckable, as other say different experience. Still enjoy the ‘acoustic’ full suss 26 er from time to time. Was good at Leeds bike park other day.

Used prices are better than they have ever been, get it on eBay! Winter is coming and used prices will fall.
