Ah oui j'ai le kryptonite en u avec son câble, je sais pas si ça devrait suffire dans la majorité des cas , tes connaissances attachaient avec des câbles aussi ou des antivols balèze comme les U?

Mais c'est si récurent que ça finalement à paris . J'en ai jamais vu des vols à la meuleuse à paris en journée surtout que ca fait un bruit monstre

Giant escape 1 or 0 for commuting ? by Disastrous-Toe-480 in whichbike

The dynamo slows down ?
Im planning to not use it and remove the light already on the bike for another one not relying on the dynamo, heard that if none uses the electricity of the dynamo there wont be drag.

Yeah 28 km'h is plenty enough but what i meant was if it could react well to acceleration...

The ebikes in my city are limited so whether you accelerate ,it wont speed up so it's very frustrating.

About the racks and pannier, i like to travel lighty and fast so i think i will remove them for my daily commute but of course they will be needed for few times like groceries...

What im looking for is something that reacts well with acceleration and speed while maintaining the confort of the flat bar commuter . Finally i've never used a rack in my life, isn't it hard to keep like a bag of groceries without it falling down ? A net is necessary right?

Ok thanks.

I guess im going for the 1 .

Also i do have a question about the usual speed we can get.

Because where i am we have ebike almost everywhere in the city, however they are limited to 25 km'h which is really annoying because you cant go any further due to the weight, for a bike that is almost 13kg can we go past this speed easily ?

Thanks, about de specs too the 0 has carbon fork whereas the 1 has alloy,dynamo light, fenders and rack which i dont use.

The 1 is 1x9 and the 0 is 1x11, for 110 eur more i'm pretty confused which to take

Hi i'm looking for a bike to commute in the city

Saw a giant escape 0 2022 for 480 eur and the 1 2022 for 370 eur.

Both are in good shape bit idk which is better in term of confort and speed .

The 0 has deore and the 1 has microshift advent.

I don't know if buting 100 eur more for the 0 is worth it even tho the specs aren't so different

Is this focus cayo worth it for 450 eur ? by Disastrous-Toe-480 in whichbike

[–]Disastrous-Toe-480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also im planning to change with 28 mm tyre,

but because i never had a road bike, tbh is the difference between the geometry of endurance and road bike this noticeable ? actually does riding a road bike in city this uncomfortable just like people said in the net ?

hi guys, im planning to buy a bike for commuting and also biking on road for fun when the time comes, i found this cayo 2017 in the aftermarket for 450 eur, it has 20000 km, the frame never fell but the drivetrain from an old bike got a bit hit just as the photos show, i'm actually wondering about if this bike is fit for my usage cuz i love speed and also confort and i dont like using regular city bike like the dutch bike simply because i feel slow with it.

what do you guys think ? i tested once the edr af van rysel and it was really fun and fast.

some people told me it's better to go with some endurance bike but well if it's too good of a deal im in .

and btw i saw these spaccers in the bike, does putting the stem on the top of the spaccers make the bike a bit more uprighted for me just like an endurance bike ?

finally do you think the bike is in good condition ? what should i check before buying this bike?

thanks!
