Calliper mounting bolt spacing should be pretty much the same, otherwise there’d be all sorts of issues marrying callipers to different frames/ forks. If you are swapping 160mm zoom for 160mm tektro then there is no need for a calliper adaptor plate, these are typically used to fit bigger rotors...

Ok so my interest got the better of me and I bought this unit more local via eBay. Fitted to sons single speed analog and just to show what it’s like... perhaps one for the younger riders lol! but it’s pretty bright and at ca 15km/h it creates a full 360’ light pattern

Well the 375Wh battery in my Fastroad E EX Pro doesn't rattle (well, not so far after 30 miles of some less than smooth tarmac riding ) - i'm going to have to find another name for my ride too, its a pain to type that all the time - maybe i'll call it FEEP ?

And just one question - does anyone have experience with the cork Ergons as opposed to the rubber versions ? I'm interested to see whether they are more energy absorbing, warmer on the hands in winter, better for grip in hot weather etc etc

Many thanks for the thread Stefan - if nothing else it highlights to some readers that there may be solutions readily available to help their riding enjoyment, and to educate them in correct grip sizing, alignment and alternative hand positions. Certainly on my old analog FS MTB moving from the...

Trek Allante - Dutch bike of the year 2020. I almost bought one but couldn’t get my preferred frame size for a few months so went elsewhere. My LBS had a medium frame and I did like the riding position. Their display model, perhaps UK spec? , had an adjustable stem so less aggressive riding...

Yes, a trip to the Cambridge dealer is probably a no-no at the moment. You may not need the trailer with the Yuba, dependent upon how your camera gear is packaged. I'm sure you could find a handy local carpenter or fabrication company to build you some hard boxes if that suited you better, or...

Those Yuba bikes look just the job - not too long for storage / manouevering, hefty rack and plenty of load capacity.

That Kona Ute looks a good option, although no-one seems to know the weight limits. Only issue is that the electric version is CONSIDERABLY more than the non e version. You could convert the non e with a swytch kit or a Bafang based system for a lot less

I wondered about a riese & muller model , used; but from what I can see even their heavy duty upgrade for their touring bikes takes them to total max weight of 160Kg

From Giants warranty info.. ''The maximum permissible total weight (bike, rider and luggage) for our E-bikes is 156Kg (344lbs).'' The bike weights in ca 22Kg, and the rear pannier rack is rated the same. They do accept third party trailers may be used, but must be connected in such a way...

I've only had my Giant Fastroad E EX Pro a few weeks, but its a robust bike and plenty of power - i can't find specs for the max load but i suspect you may be OK provided you use the trailer. I'm just under 110Kg and it doesnt have any issues with me on board. I could be wrong but i thought i'd...

Might struggle with the weight aspect on the Wayfarer - the 7 model is 135Kg max load which only gives 15Kg cargo capacity. Cube Touring or Kathmandu have 140Kg max load, again not so great carrying capacity with a 120Kg rider Haibike Sduro Trekking 4.0 also limited to 130Kg A Cube Cargo...

Would die for weather like that currently; not so sure about the climbs on your route though ;) ;)

Lovely - good health for many happy miles

Wow - thank goodness for your helmet - it should be a lesson to us all that no matter how short that trip to the mail box, paper shop or the grocery store you should never be without one. Good luck with your recovery.

Early days with my Giant , but so far I’m using pas level 1 and sometimes level 2. gear wise I tend to be on the faster 4 most of the time, dropping to the second biggest for the bigger climbs (with pas 2 if needed). Downhills I turn off completely. I learnt from riding forest trails on an...

Perhaps market dependent, but Norco seems to be on WTB Rangers, and the Stance on Maxxis Rekon ?? Agreed Smart Sam are a good all-rounder though 👍

Yes, less shin damage with the Rides - i managed many years of forest trail riding on the analog bike without stabbing myself with the metal pins!

When i bought my Fastroad EXPRo the Giant store said it didn't come with pedals, but they'd fit some generic items. When i checked the specs it said it did come with aluminium 'city' pedals. I wasn;t expecting much but they aren't too bad, but after a few rides I now know that they are not...
