Not Easy for me, I no longer have a bike!! (SWMBO banned two wheeled vehicles of any sort following my accident! :? )

Two mountain bikes adding to the clutter in my spare room.
Eldest son brought them to replace youngest son's stolen ones but he has already replaced them, so I'll be stuck with them for the rest of the year I expect.

My Wife's bike with the S Lanarkshire country side behind (Quothquan Law just over the bars, and Coulter fell in the background).
Screenshot 2024-07-22 102434.png
I have an (almost identical) bike as well - except I have recently converted hers to electric - you can see the battery on the rack. It's a rear drive motor, with pedal rotation sensor. Road legal as the motor is 250W nominal, but it puts out a lot more than that peak - as it's pedal sensor the motor engages if the pedals are rotating, even if there is no actual drive through the chain, so it will drive itself effectively if you pedal 'ight' - and on full boost mode it will climb the hill from our house (about 1:12) at 15mph with me on board on its own :lol: Next task is to increase the size of the chain ring as it's a bit low geared for road riding, and reduce the crank length as the 175 fitted is too long for her. This almost certainly means fitting a new bottom bracket as well, since the once on there is not a std square taper (thanks SRAM!).

That's excellent Richard, a bit of detail of how and the bits and pieces sourced and needed would make interesting reading for viewers of the thread, but yes excellent achievement and it looks the part. :-D Already edited it into the gallery :-D viewtopic.php?p=806804#p806804

Example of a start to finish conversion in a 6 minute video. Details/costs of kit at the end. No speaking, mute the repetitive soundtrack if preferred, all steps outlined by wording on the screen.

Clearly a man after my own heart with function over finesse but even I would have used black cable ties!! :-D

It is a lovely little spot and only just in Bucks... Just down the road is the Bedfordshire border...

My other bike, and the S Lanarkshire countryside, and an excess of HiViz for Parkrun marshalling! Essential midge protection in waiting on the saddle😜
