thanks for your advise and support. I'll be removing mudguards for flight packing, which should help with larger tyres too. Not 100% sure of bags as yet. I got a bespoke frame bag from my son for Christmas, which is great. It still lets me use the three bottle cages. I'll use this with either 4 small Ortlieb bags, or two large Ortlieb at rear and one small up front on top the rack?
cheers for now
Eddie

I have a whole Sport Tour bike with a 561L frame.  Black.  In good condition.  Would you be interested in buying the whole bike? 

Appreciated, Ian! I really should thank all the Forum members as well for it is you who make this such a nice and pleasant repository for support and the exchange of information and a real pleasure to Administer.

All the best, Dan.

Hey All!

Given the burgeoning interest in eBikes and electrification of "manual" bikes, now seems a good time to collect past posts into one repostory and create a place for new posts on a dedicated board.

Accordingly, I've created this as a "Child Board" under the Technical > Transmission category, similar to the Child Board on Belt Drive.

This is going to be a task, so please bear with me while I sieve through old topics and posts to populate this new board. I'll move the dedicated topics first as I find them and you can feel free to start new topics as you wish while I work on this. After awhile, I'll go back and delete the redirect notices for moved posts so the post structure looks nice and tidy again.

Some relevant posts are tagged onto other topics, so to preserve Board structure, I'll leave them be. To find them, use the Forum's search function. The following terms are most likely to bear fruit...

Bafang
Bosch
Coulomb
Controller
Display
eBike
e-Bike
Electric
Motor
Pedelec
Pendix
Sensor
Watts

Best, Dan.
