    Are you certain the correct lock ring has been used? The Gain has its own lock ring. There ring has about 20 magnets around the outer ring, sending a pulse to the controller and then battery, to provide power. Last person I know who changed cassettes had used the new lock ring without realising...

    When they introduced compulsory helmet wearing in Australia, a few years ago, cycling numbers went down.

    Damn right Sol, I often go to Amsterdam. We call it a Dutch Dash. North Sea Ferries leave Hull every evening for overnight crossing (during the winter months a berth is available for £10. Have met and befriended many Dutch folk, most ride bikes. Very few wear any protection.

    Art, you should have seen the London Tube this morning? Crowded. Having said that, have you ever seen a live news link from London streets at rush hour? The number of cyclists commuting is amazing. Mostly dropped handlebars, it's one long procession. I have one pal who rides into Liverpool St...

    Surpass your previous fitness level and you won't need the assist. Good to hear you're back into "it" Truthfully I don't really notice the Gains extra weight on the hills nowadays, and never really did on the flat. Mine weighs after a few replacements 24.5lbs which is not a great deal more than...

    No, nothing Boris can claim credit for. This scheme has been in place now for around 15 years. I know of many people who have taken advantage of it, including company directors and owners. It was noticeable within the first few months of starting here in Hull. The city itself is very flat (some...

    Pushing a bigger gear Sol, would help make it more difficult. I always though finish the last couple of miles spinning home, and getting the heart rate down.

    Interesting. Do owners of 20mph assist Gains, average 18mph? You still have to put in some effort.

    Yes there is? Especially when climbing (which won't much apply for you) sweet spot to get most out of the assist is around 75/80rpm. Now I believe the reason I get excellent distance, is because I'm a big gear pusher. My average cadence for a ride would be around 65rpm. A hilly ride would see an...

    Rob, 6 feet tall and 156lbs. I have been riding and racing since the 60's and can ride without too much effort at 15mph. But I always have level 1 switched on. A local 30 mile ride would usually include 1000 feet of climbing.

    You can, Keep the speed down to around 17mph. Here in the UK, I get 3 30-35 mile rides in on one tank. And that is like Sol suggested, charged to 80-85% also it certainly isn't flat around here.
