Cargo Bikes

You can remove it from the menu options in e-tube.
It kinda makes sense for folk who just use the bike for leisure or if the bike is a hire scheme affair, but doesn't do the hub any favours.

my new little cargo bike

Love it!

Don’t get me started on Terns. They totally ruined a great product with the Gen2

Is that the tailight connector with all the crazy splicing?

After nearly three years of repeatedly picking up and abandoning this project, my Rohloff Cycletruck is finally done!

Very cool

Love this! Well done.

Beautiful!

Nicely done 👍

That’s a serious commute.

my Rohloff Cycletruck is finally done!

We'll see about that.

In the meantime, good work, enjoy!

Thanks all!

very cool. Is that an eccentric BB?

Yes! I had the BSA BB shell replaced so the bike could run a Bushnell EBB.

Ok. Here we go.it is happening etc and so on.
Bike dropped off this morning, hoping for a motor and battery by the weekend. Very excited and nervous about it all.

nice! how did you do the rear dynamo wiring?

Just put my Bullitt up for sale in the classifieds in case anyone is looking for one. I'm leaving London, and it's not coming with me.

Gorgeous.
I'm just having a shed built so I can accommodate something like that, but not quite ready otherwise I would have jumped at that. Looks like someone else has though!

I had braise-ons added to the underside of the downtube, after the BB it goes up into the rear fender.

I’ve just taken delivery of an Omnium WiFi cargo… looking forward to building it up next week! There are two things I wondered about though. One is the placement of the front (dynamo) light - I’ve seen that people have used the b&m handlebar mount which is an option but looks a bit clumsy to me, plus it’s plastic and protrudes above the level of the rack. Is there another option? I heard that it could be possible to tap the underside of the rack via an existing breather hole and mount the light directly, which seems neat but I’m a bit reluctant to start hacking away at a new frame. There’s a supernova bracket which looks neater and should work (lamp is a B&M IQ XS)… but if anyone has any experience of any option it’d be good to hear about.

The other thing - the idea is that me and wife will both use it, so I guess will fit a QR seatpost clamp to allow easy adjustment but how to keep it secure? Has anyone come up with a good multi-user solution?

why do they put slippery drain covers at road junctions? nearly went arse over this evening, what with wind, rain & man-hole cover
just sayin

I have the breathe hole tapped on mine from new but it's kinda redundant with the extended on the front. Instead I've got a quick release rubber band mount on the front of the rack. And use the mount below for sideways lighting

Unfortunately, there's not a lot that can be done if the existing infrastructure below ground requires that the cover is where it is. Rebuilding what's underneath can be pretty expensive, and the origin of this bad design may be centuries ago. :(

(It's a problem for bike riders in the main, and people who don't ride bikes usually have no idea it is even a problem, so you may get bad design like that even today.)

Ah I see, good to know about the extender. I haven’t ordered one but figure I might want to in future - but a rubber-band mount, is that for a battery light? I’m not sure anything like that exists for b&m lights does it?

This is the mount. Pretty sure you can make it work with b and m.

Long term gonna put some dynasnap connectors on so light can be removed easy.

Thanks very much - that’s great to know. Dynasnap, I had no idea. Good workaround!
