Hi there Surprised your having this trouble. I had knee replacement surgery 5 years ago and they wouldn't let me out of hospital until I could bend my knee 90 degrees so should be enough to deal with top crank position. That said you're obviously having difficulties. 14 months ago I had a full...

It won't be de-ristricted as its never been tampered with, it will be put back to it original spec, as supplied with a 40 t ring but this time of the N/W tooth design, that's all I'm after. And it will make the bike perform as originally intended

Hi Thx for your reply. Road and gravel paths for me. As I said in a previous reply I'm currently trialing an amazon offering but would prefer one from a known brand

Another benefit of the 42 t 11 speed combo is it pushes my general riding further up the gear range giving even better durability because I'm using the top 4 gears less, if you get my drift

Hi And thx for your replies, all very valid points which I will respond too. The bike as new comes with a 40 toothed ring but it's not the N/W type, the best my supplier could do is 38 t on a 104 bcd. The bike runs ok with this but I find myself constantly in the top 4 gears and not making much...

Sorry, I should add the chainring needs to be the narrow/wide design

Hi guys Need some help on chainring availability. My bike and proposed setup Cube khatmandu with bosch gen 4 cx motor fitted with a 104 bcd spider. The bike will fitted with the new shimano cues 11 speed gear set. Currently finding it very difficult to get a 40 tooth chainring. Any help or...

Hi If its the latest smart system using the flow app you can increase the power from a standing start. I'm 6 ft 16.5 stone using a khatmandu with the cx motor. I upped it one notch in the settings and no hill is a problem . Go into my bike then custom riding modes and you should see the adjust...

I opted for a one up dropper, recommended by my local bike shop. I haven't used it in anger yet but it is well reviewed and made, plus its serviceable, repairable and comes with spacers for adjustable travel. What more do you want Geoff

Hi Glad your op went well. I'm 5 months post operation and back to doing everything I did before this nightmare started. Please don't rush your recovery, gently, gently, catch a monkey is definitely the approach to recovery. I found the first 2 weeks the most painful, good progress at 6 weeks...

Hi sorry for the late reply but i would like to add my experiance. I am 75 and 14 weeks into post total hip surgery. I had the posterior technique and can concur the comments made of that approach , pain and recovery time. however that does not mean its a bad option, there are risks with the...

Sorry misunderstood about the last time you rode your bike, this was pre op

At the moment trying to kept some bike fitness by using a static trainer. It seems to help keeping me moving. Interesting about your refered pain to the knee. I had patella resurfacing done 3 years ago and took up ebiking to aid recovery. Last summer I noted some anterior knee pain and...

Interesting, did you have ot done at Emersons Green? I'm having a spinal block with sedation. Sounds like you rushed it abit getting on the bike

Oh and having a dropper post fitted as we speak

Thanks for your reply A very interesting read. My problems started early Dec last year. Had no issues biking but the next day was awful. Had an x-ray and left hip shot, bone on bone. Like you decided to go private, did have a date for the op 28th Feb but had to be put back 2 weeks to allow my...

Hi Dave Thanks for this, very heart warming. I had partial knee replacement surgery 3 years ago and it was that that got me back into cycling as part of my recovery. Do the exercises and slowly does it with the bike. I wish you well Geoff
