Post by: cycleman on 21 February, 2022, 08:21:34 pm
Arrived in a big box this morning and Windsor cycle company built it up for me this afternoon  :) .I rode it home from Windsor and it seems faster than the trice when it was non e assist. I will get lights and a smaller chainset fitted tomorrow and take some better pictures  :)

Anything fallen off yet?   :demon:   ;)

For those not you who have not enjoyed the pleasure of Cycleman's company on a ride, it is definitely an in joke.

Any bridges on the way home?  I gather those are particularly dangerous

No pb,nothing has fallen off yet and I'm still putting things on. Early days though  ;)
And no narrow bridges   ;D on the homeward route. It has a wider track than the trice adventure and I have to lift it onto its side to get it into the house. The ride is definitely worth the effort. I just off to put a few miles in before the cycle shop opens and then the finishing touches will be done. More pictures later

Looking at your pictures, it would appear that you haven't gone for electric assist, and, in the last photo you seem to have dropped your Jaffa cakes!  😉  😋

Just been having a read on their website.  Looks like a very capable machine.  I hope that you enjoy thousands of happy miles with it.

No e assist on the tricon gr. I have bearing wear on the motor and I can't get replacement bearings. Also 1 of the batteries failed and the range on the other seems to :)(http://) be  dropping.I plan to run the e assist on the trice till it dies and go back to none e assist. I have now had the smaller chainset fitted and and  front light bracket and new 1100 front light. I have also fitted a old battery laser 3 rear light..the GPS is fitted and on the ride back from the cycle shop I managed a comfortable moving average speed of 8.1mph.I fitted the spd pedals on this evening so I may be able to improve the the moving average. I looking forward to putting a proper day ride in.
As for the jaffa cakes, they didn't last  .I have put 1 aside for you pb. I will give it to you when we next meet camping somewhere  ;)
