  • Phase one of my planned upgrades on the babboe is complete, xtr 1x di2 groupset and new rear wheel - going from 7 spd to 11 and giving a much wider range of gears (19-32 to 11-42) should mean the flats are a bit faster and starting and hills are a bit easier, plus the loss of drag from the redundant motor in the rear wheel should mean a few more watts go towards forward progress!

    Phase 2 will be a Dynamo front hub and better lights for the winter, need to do a bit more research to understand how they work first though!

    Bike is doing about 6 trips per week at the moment, and hopefully the upgrades should tempt us into making a few more journeys we currently do in the car on the bike…

  • flats are a bit faster

    Interested to know how that feels with the reverse trike. I totally discounted them as an option due to potential tipping in corners. But that was based off zero personal experience but could be totally wrong. Also discounted due to access width restrictions, but I like the idea of the stability when stopped or going very slow.
