I've had my Arroyo C5 HMB over a week now and I thought I would post my initial impressions. To cut to the chase, I like it a lot - in my mind, it's well worth the US$4k I shelled out for it. I was looking for a low maintenance bike (belt drive, internal gears - and, therefore, mid-drive)...
I have an Agattu B8 with hydraulic rim brakes. It's 5 years old; the brakes need bleeding once a year. Last year the big bike shop in town told me the brakes are obsolete and they can't service them any more. This year I took it to a small bike shop where they assured me they could do the job...
I had a rear wheel rim replaced on my Bosch system ebike. The technician forgot to put the magnet back on the wheel. It will be several days before I can get the magnet. Will it cause any problems (other than unrecorded mileage) if I ride without the magnet? Details that I assume are irrelevant...
Can I change the height of the handlebars on my Agattu B8? I know I can swivel them but I'd like to raise them vertically a couple of inches. The dealer told me it can't be raised but he was wrong about some other things.
