There is/was a 15% forum discount for Restrap which I hope you've seen? Great build btw!

Another +1 to avoid Alfine 11. I got a free 'upgrade' due to ordering issues and it needs adjusting at least once every week (in fairness the adjustment is easy if using Di2 but still!). And as Mikenetic said, it gives you taller gears which is utterly useless so I've had to swap out chainring and cog to gear down (I wish I'd geared down even more) so I can use the 1-9 range instead of 1-5. Upper gears only come into play when I'm cycling downhill at over 35km/h which never happens with a little person up front.

Thanks a lot, my google-fu must be weak this morning

As a matter of interest, where did you get the trowel? I don't see any mention of it on the alpkit website and it would make a great present to my wild-poo loving OH :)

Are cleats readily available for older Time pedals? Do current Time atac cleats work with older pedals?

Yes, cleat design haven't changed in the 20 years I've been using them so I would expect any ATAC cleats to fit your pedals. Awesome frame :)

too slow...

Does the canopy interfere with your steering? I had to raise the handlerbars with the standard bullitt canopy but I see yours is below...

true range of the e-bullitt bike with an approx 100-120kg load

If I am very lucky, I can get about 85km out of a full charge on eco mode with my ~9kg daughter up front (including the bike our weight is around 105kg). The reality is that it entirely depends upon how hilly your journeys are and how much work the motor is doing. Worst of all is that I find the distance left calculation is complete BS. It will say 20km left leaving the house and then die in 5 (usually as I'm going up a hill).

How did it go?

@giofox Might also be worth asking in the Transatlantic race thread or ask racers directly to get tips for the bit's after Kerry?

will I miss much on the northern part of it?

Not really. The whole west coast is scenic so there'll be plenty to see along the way. Personally I actually prefer the Berra peninsula (the one below the ring of kerry) as it's quieter but can understand that you'd like to do the hills on the ring of kerry peninsula.

Hey, I'm based in Cork these days.
You might be better off heading for Ballinhassig from the airport and taking the back roads due south from there to Kinsale rather than the unplesantly busy main road.
If you can manage a visit/wild camp in Glengarriff Nature Reserve it would be well worth it!
Also, not a concern for you, but you're wise to do the ring of Kerry in a clockwise fashion as the buses go anti-clockwise and will save you some hassle.
Enjoy :)

I haven't ridden flats in about 20 years but a new family cargo bike means I need to share a bike with my wife. Flat's are fine for the 2km into the town centre but when I'm going further I miss the clipless efficiency and find my shoes slipping around on the current pedals.

I'm having trouble sourcing a Time pedal that is one side clipless (my requirement), one side flat and made out of plastic (my wife's requirements). I bought some double shot 1 pedals and am hoping to not have to convert my own 3 bikes over to crank brothers as well. Or need another pair of cycling shoes.

Yeah my bad, I was too keen to see what I wanted to hear. @cgg Thank you both, I guess I'm just going to have to try it!

Sorry for the dredge but does anyone have experience/know if you can interchange atac and crank brother recessed cleats? I've UTFS but nothing useful came up. I've been running atacs for years but just bought some doubleshot 1 pedals for a bike both my wife and I ride. I'm not convinced the atac cleats will fit but wondering if I could fit the crank brother cleats and use them on my other bikes... Don't really want a specific pair of shoes for the one bike. Thanks!

Edit: Didn't trawl enough through the search results, seems like crank brother cleats will work in atac pedals. @NurseHolliday any chance you could confirm if it worked out for you?

The bike packing thread has plenty of info on bags...

A bit late I know but for anyone else, the Vias Verdes is a useful resource:

There's a section from the coast north of Barcelona that leads into the Pyrenees via Girona. I've done it in reverse along with the section going West from Irun and both were great.

@GoatandTricycle has almost made it to CP3 having completed the required parcours. Go Ross!

Never mind, wrong Dan :)

@BrickMan Thanks both. I'm based in Ireland so sadly laka is out but I'll give my house insurance company a call and see what the damage will be.

e-bullitt owners/sellers, is there a walk assist option on the newer models? I'm thinking of splurging but have a narrow winding mildly-uphill path to my house and wondering if it's going to be a mare the first/last 25 meters of every trip.

Also, those of you who insure their cargo bikes, did you add under your existing house insurance or get specific bike insurance? Thanks :)

Can't help but feel like the inquest deserves it's own thread????

Also, has anyone outside of the UK recieved their copy of the tcr newspaper yet?

Where's @rj off to?
