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…
