Deathtrap because of the Miche seatpost?

What's the issue?

Or is the carbon fibre bonding actually duct tape?

Actually the brakes look optimistic.

Hit 5000 miles on the GSD today. Still going strong.

Yeah that too, but the epoxied to bamboo cable stops for the steering scared me the most.

Just seen this out in the wild, looks neat

Just feels like a stretch for more then one. Or that they will outgrow it too soon. I see this with mullis all the time. Legs hanging out the front of the box.

It just needs an underground/overground style pole to hold on to in the centre. You could easily fit 4 kids in there if they weren't too lazy to stand.

anyone else had this fail?
Working in a road with no drop kerbs, so at the end of the day I bounced the fully loaded UA down onto the road a bit too quickly and ....... pop!
Thought I'd given the back tyre a flat but turned out the tyre popped off of the rim. So easy fix!

No but the stock tires seem to have a pretty soft sidewall. I noticed they roll over a bit sometimes. Have been thinking of swapping them for pickups or maybe gt365’s since winter is coming.

ah, these are Pick-up tyres. Tread looks pretty good still but thinking about it they must have done about 7k miles!

Really want one of those! Only ten years until I can afford a knackered one

Curious little fellow on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156420325396?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rPAQWzabRlq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=X5XyWJtgTlq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

As said, a stretch. Good effort though just limited in utility.

Such a bargain, great bikes!

Friend of mine designed them, here's his with funky left fork upgrade, I converted it to electric for him.

Agreed, looks very heavy for the amount of cargo it can carry..

What the hecken heck is up with that wheelbase extension/disc brake adapter

I suspect we will see a ton of mini belo cargoes in the next few years. Im quite a fan of this one out of berlin

On the mini long John's like r&m carry and muli chat, think they're popular as under 1m long and still have a low load platform.
I see loads of mulis that are dog carriers, and dogs stop growing earlier than humans.
And r&m had to close that gap in their line up so made an over engineered version.

Lol it's a prototype / stop gap before laser cutting

Mulis make sense as the cargo area folds! As you say over engineered r&m

I need a new rotor on the back of my load 75. Anyone know what the biggest that will fit?

I think they are already 203mm, and IIRC the latest Loads have special super thick Tektro rotors they developed for R+M.

Enviolo/UA issue:
can anyone on here imagine what I've done wrong please? Put back wheel back in after a puncture & now the gears won't shift. Work (stiffly) when the axle nuts are loose & can't get into highest gear ratios. I've replaced the cables just now too but didn't help

Are you sure the cables are sitting nicely in their grooves inside the shifter?
They can quite easily pop out and make shifting feel stiff/not work

this, merlin had some: https://www.merlincycles.com/magura-storm-hc-e-bike-disc-rotor-100428.html

Hope makes them too, search for 2.3mm rotor
