You may find a 45cm frame too small if you are 5'8. The problem will be raising the seat post high enough to get comfortable leg extension once you are used to the bike. The sizing chart for the T10 suggests that a 45 cm frame is good for people 4'10" to 5'6". As far as display, I used to own...

Personally, I like the cafe lock design. I never have to worry about forgetting my key at home when I go out for a ride. I bought and use the associated plug in AXA cable lock which is easy to carry in a saddle bag. One key, always available on the bike :)

If your current seat post is down all the way, and you find it comfortable, I doubt that you will be able to raise it enough to accommodate a suspension seat post. All suspension seat posts require 8 to 10 cm above the seat post collar to accommodate the suspension mechanism. A change of 1 cm...

My experience in Vancouver, Canada is that the bike shops won't negotiate on MSRP for Gazelle bikes, but they may throw in a few extras such as helmet, panniers, etc. The 2022 Gazelle models are now on sale in North America at up to $500 off.

I ride an Ultimate C380 with 28 x 1.75 tires. I am 210 lbs and keep my tire pressure between 55 and 60 psi. I think 70 psi would be too firm. According to the table posted above it seems I am at the recommended pressure for my tire size and weight. The side wall of my tire specs 45 to 70 psi.

I thought I should revive this thread. I now have 2000 km on my Gazelle Ultimate C380, and was always disappointed at how stiff the ride felt over bumps. I felt that the front shock didn't really do anything... and I was right. After looking at this thread a few days ago, I went for a ride...

Cool... I just tried the right arm thing and my fingers reach to the centre of the bottom bracket. I had never heard of that before.

I used to own a Specialized Turbo Como 3.0 (2018 Version) with the older Bloks display. I now own and ride a Gazelle Ultimate C380. The following are some of my comparisons: 1. Overall, I find the Gazelle slightly more comfortable to ride (can be adjusted to a more upright position). 2. Range...

It’s probably because there is more mechanical drag on the back wheel due to resistance of freehub pawls clicking past freehub body and more bearings in the Enviolo hub. I have an Ultimate C380 and my rear wheel does not turn as freely as the front, which is to be expected.

Yes, both Kinekt and RedShift make 27.2 seat posts (RedShift is only available as 27.2). As Stefan indicated the Como uses a 30.9 post so it wouldn't fit the Gazelle. I like both the RedShift and Kinekt posts... they both are quite similar in terms of smoothing out the ride. The only thing I...

Congrats on your new bike. I am sure you are going to enjoy it. I picked up a new Gazelle Ultimate C380 in early December 2022, and have put on over 900 kilometres. I really like the Gazelle. The only issue so far is that I noticed several loose spokes on the rear wheel. I'm not sure if...

Thule sells a bike rack cross bar adapter which clamps around the seat post under the seat and around the handle bar stem under the handlebars. I have used it and works well.

I am 5’9” and have a medium frame Gazelle Ultimate C380. It’s the right size for me. I think a small frame would be too short.

I used to own a Specialized Turbo Como 2.0, and purchased a larger 604WH battery and 4-Amp charger after using the 460WH battery for around 200 rides. I recently traded-in the Como c/w original 2-Amp charger on a Gazelle Ultimate 380, so now have no use for the extra 460WH battery and the 4-Amp...

I had exactly the same problem when I put a new chain on my Como 3. Turned out that it was the front chainring that was worn and wouldn't mesh properly with the new chain. They demonstrated the problem in the bike shop by putting the bike up on the stand, and then peddling while applying...
