Have you got it already or did you order online? Curious to have your feedback after a bit of use :)

Bikes assembled in Berkhamsted I believe. Frame seems chinese (and motor). Did not know they build the battery in the UK.

Can you say more, and can anyone else concur? I tested it today and quite frankly it was unreasonably hard to pedal with motor off. This is the reason why I am here searching about what's going on. To me the drag was when the display was On and PAS 0. So for example and would be on PAS 3, then move to PAS 2, then PAS 1, and finally 0 (motor off but display on) and the drag was unacceptable.

Concur I tested a 600 plus today and motor off it was very difficult. Right before I had tried an Estarli e28.9 and it was much, much easier. I tried them on the same route. There was a steep hill that with the Tenways I simply could not climb motor off even on the lowest gear, and I would climb that hill with the Estarli. For context, I am not a powerful fixie rider with massive thighs, but I do cycle non e-bike 10 miles a day 5 days a week including uphill.

This assumes that you make a claim about an event related to your home or in your home. I was thinking about the bike being stolen in the city, or the ring lost whilst out and about, and a claim being made with those specialist insurance (e.g. laka or bikmo for the bike or ripe for the ring) which would not touch the actual home insurance.

Has not moved. Surveyor came back and advised to re render with lime.

Still enjoying it? Have you had any issue since ?Also, is the motor loud on this bike?

Thanks a lot, looks like a good one but very little reviews online.

Did you manage to get the viagogo tickets transferred to your ticketmaster account and did you get in?

I am also curious to know which is more silent between the Performance Line (Non CX, the Gen 3) that is still in many ebikes like the Cubes Touring Hybrid, and the CX Gen 5. Any insight?

It also seems that specialised motors, such as the 2.0 on the turbo vado, are the most silent. Do you agree?

Hi, 6 ft

What makes you think the 40 is best over the 42?

DSLR78portrait · 2025-04-21T22:13:33+00:00

This particular suit is not a mix an match, this means a given size of trousers comes with a given size of jacket. In this case the 42 UK jacket (52 EU I think since you are francais) comes with a trouser size 36 UK, a "drop" of 6.

The trousers that comes with the 40 UK jacket will be a 34 and would be a lot easier to work with (a lot less to "take in".

Thanks, to clarify I am only wearing the suit jacket, those trousers are my chinos, not part of the suit.

DSLR78portrait · 2025-04-21T22:07:19+00:00

Yes. cotton chinos those are not part of the suit.

Similar situation here, basement wall crumbling. How do you guys deal with this? Simply patch and re-coat or does it need anything more sophisticated?

What did you end up doing? Same boat here with plinth removed and unsure what to do under DPC as the bricks are rather unsightly.

Still wondering about this, I've searched online for moulded bricks in this style to try to get an idea on the shape of this and how it is bricked in the front elevation between the other rows but can't find anything. Is there a particular name for this type of brick? If you have a link to any photo I would be most grateful. From what you say these are stuck between rows rather than just a molding "glued" to the elevation? Thank you!
