My initial comment was about the saddle post and clamp. I have two other Brooks saddles on my two other bikes with no problems in attaching the rails. The issue is not with Brooks but the Cannondale synapse saddle clamp. I managed to fit it and although I wondered if it would remain in place it...

I have a Synapse Neo 1 ebike. Wonderful bike. However today I wanted to fit a new Brookes saddle and found that the bracket didn't accommodate the saddle rails beneath. Has anyone else had a similar problem I have tightened the bracket as much as possible but feel the rails of the saddle...

Hello Brenda, In January this year I lost a dear dear sister called Brenda so it seems rather strange to be opening a post with 'Hello Brenda'. Anyway it is a delight talking with you. You call yourself Senior-Gal. Are you as senior as I am I wonder? I was 73 last week. Still going ''strong''...

Thank you for your tips. Re Ebikes . They are great and as my asthma increases the cannondale helps but I still puff and pant. Booked mine in for an update on the bosch motor at the end of the month in our local bike shop . Was delighted to learn that they deal with cannondales even though...

Shoe goo? Never heard of it but I naturally do what we all do at such times and googled it. Yes it available here on Amazon and other sites. We do have apparently similar products but I will get myself a tube to hide away in my little saddle bag hopefully to be never used. Thank you for...

Well I am glad the fender issue has been sorted. On another point to NH Senior-Gal. Are you changing the tires because of wear or for another reason? I have tubless ready continental tires on mine and they are fine. However I understand from various posts on different forums that they are...

Hello Evansilver Have you I wonder solved your fender and front fork issue yet. Just me being nosey but interested. Anthony

Hello Evansilver I am a little perplexed on your situation you describe. I cannot think of any good reason why the hole on the fork isn't threaded. Is it possible that this is just a minor manafacturing glitch???? I have seen a number road bikes that obviously have no hole ( threaded or not)...

I would rather give my business to a local bike shop who are there to serve you and do whatever servicing needs if I cannot do it. I can see the bike first and have a test ride . I can ask questions and feel confident about the purchase I am making. Perhaps I am spending more than one might...

Hi Hugow. I think your question is a significant and important on. Regarding Halfords. they seem to be much more focused on cycling and cyclists these days than a few yrs ago. Yes they do sell a number of Ebikes and provide the necessary back and servicing. My wife bought her Pendleton from...

UK born and bred. In the Midlands. Regarding the carrying of an ebike on the car. I have a Thule Velocompact towbar mounted rack for two bikes. My wife's ebike is about 21kg and mine is 15 kg which is well below the recommended limit of 46 kg on this carrier . Have used it a lot this summer...

THe fenders did not come with my bike but the dealer put them on with the rack as a gesture of good will. Strangely there is no manafacture's name on them However these types are readily available in the UK and I am sure the same is in Canada. The rods can be cut at the fender end (see arrow)...

Hello there I have a synapse neo 1 and have fenders ( we say mudguards in the UK) on both rear and front. Looking at the images of the SE it seems the same as my neo 1 The front forks have a screw eyelets on the inside of the lower third of the fork., The top screw attachment is on the back...

Brenda, I would like to get out throughout the winter months in snow or whatever. I have over the yrs spent many happy nights in a tent alone or with walking and climbing pals in the mountains of Scotland and the Alps. However since a very nasty cancer 10 yrs ago followed by a lot of chemo and...

Hi Brenda I haven’t had a flat yet but heard a similar tale of difficulty in removing and putting the tyre back on. This is stupid. If this happens on on the road it is imperative to repair as quickly as possible so I dread the thought. I am not familiar with the tubeless options as always have...
