Hi all, Is this normal? This is how my bike came from the shop I bought it from. Thanks, -Iain

Thanks for the replies! My reasons for wanting to change are: An internally gear hub is not exposed to weather, so stays clean (cassette gets dirty) I've never liked having a big derailleur hanging down at the back - fragile/exposed mech I like the technology (I'm a mechanical designer by...

Cool! What's the idea behind the H-Bar?

Hey there, I just bought a Trek Lift+. Once I got it home I found out it's a 2016, not a 2017. I'm concerned the battery might have been abused. When I have it fully charged and put it in, it says range is 93 km on ECO. Shouldn't it read 125 km? Just wondering or if this is normal. Also...
