    using throttle on urban 700

    No need to change the software Vincent. I use the throttle once in a while assisting my walk up a ramp when it's a really low tide (I live on a boat), and it comes in handy starting on some nearby steep hills with stop lights 1/2 way up, which I never seem to make.

    18,000 Km in under 16 months!

    With the summer weather already upon us on the West coast my winter 1000 km/month rate is now getting up to 12-1300. I should be coming up to another maintenance overhaul (first and only one was at 10,000 km), -but nothing is showing any wear or "slop". Bottom bracket is tight, chain shows...

    14,000 km in 12 month!

    Even though the Bionx odometer resets to 0 at 9,999.99 I tracked it since then and surpassed the 14,000 km just before Xmas, and still going. Went through the overall at around 10K: replaced chain (should had done it earlier), but all the cogs and gears showed very little wear (wheel man said...
