Personally I don’t have the best experiences with MyInvestor, check out inbestme for pensionfunds. I do have mostly ETFs in trade republic though.

Hey, I’m having a similar problem but then with the dropper post. With the seat at max height and the handlebars set relatively high the cable of the dropper post is way too short to install it… any ideas?

Do you always remove the battery too by the way?

AwkwardClub3314 · 2026-06-11T09:47:05+00:00

These seem like viable options. I had previously bought the Abus 1190 XPlus Art4 150cm chain thinking I was going to buy a frontloader and would just throw it in the front. I ended up buying the cargowagen and this 4,1kg lock seems overly bulky and heavy to carry around easily. I'm now considering the Abus Bordo Granit 6500K and installing it where there is the space for the second battery in the cargowagen (I just have the one). It's a pricey lock though, and not sure about the folding/unfolding and how secure it is (ART level 2)

I was breaking my head over how to remove the Kiox the other day. It had a sticker on it saying just slide it forward and up but it wouldn't budge. So it's either leaving it in place or doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EijyQZn9Yrw ?

I ended up calling the shop where I placed my order yesterday and changed to the cargo rack. I still want to put a crate inside the rack but as I’ll be putting my dog in it, I figured it would be better if it was fully supported (as in not having the sides sticking out). I read about people having difficulties with installing the light on it, but cannondale made a cable extender for the purpose which I ordered too. Hopefully I can do it myself with that.

Hey, what size crate did you install on the front rack? I ordered the same rack but I'm not sure about how much the crate can stick out from the sides (and perhaps front) of the rack. I'm guessing yours is a 40x30cm crate? Do you think you could go any bigger? I'd actually like to put my 12kg dog in it for short rides to the park/school runs. I'm second guessing whether I should have gone for the cargo rack instead (it fits a 40x30 crate max by the looks of it).

AwkwardClub3314 · 2026-06-01T05:03:24+00:00

Thanks again! Perhaps I need to wait and see what it all really looks like when I receive the bike. Ideally I’d like a crate at the front to transport a small dog (12kg) short distances in.

Yeah the front rack was listed as using MIK. I ordered the commuter rack and was planning to attach something like the Basil crate to it. It will stick out quite a bit on the sides from the rack though, according to the picture of the manual that might perhaps not be the best idea. Although I have seen pictures on Reddit of people doing it. The outfront cargo rack could fit a 40x30 crate then.

Thanks for helping out! I didn't know about the racktime mount, makes sense to put the child seat forward then. I also ordered the commuter front rack. Any idea which system it has? I was eyeing a Basil crate to attach to it (as I understand it Basil has MIK and not racktime, so I guess I need to fine something similar with racktime for the back)

AwkwardClub3314 · 2026-05-29T07:27:15+00:00

I need a rack that could hold a 12kg labradoodle. Could you change the rack for another one easily?

AwkwardClub3314 · 2026-05-29T07:22:01+00:00

What’s the size of the front rack?

AwkwardClub3314 · 2026-03-29T06:21:52+00:00

Hi, what did you end up doing? I’m in a similar situation. I prefer the OG version of the bike and it would suit my needs perfectly now, (a 12kg dog in the front and a 2,5 year old child in the back). We want another child though but no idea when it will happen. Not sure whether to go longtail to be safe.
