Cargo Bikes

still seems an odd omission.

I agree!

I seem to recall @amey has a rear rack on his? I'm in the process of trying to fit one using pclips and a disc brake compatible rack but the rear light gets in the way so I think a blow torch and vice are going to be required to bend the struct to an amenable angle

then noticed these bullit bikes have no lugs for a rear rack, which is a wierd omission. Such an easy thing to install on a frame, and you'd think that rear end would be rated for a few extra kgs.

Completely agree, I have a rack on mine that I installed using M Part seat collar with rack mounts. Funnily enough my dropouts have a rack mount but frame doesent!

I'd say racks are essential on cargo bike esp if you are hauling a kid; you want easier/quicker access to stuff that you can take with you.

Mine is a racktime rack; its excellent.

As far as I'm aware racktime is Tubus' budget friendly option. I also rate racktime racks!

yeah it was my last bike24 order before brexit, very emotional about it

LarryvsHarry do have their own pannier rack which you can get from any UK Dealer

I don't suppose you have any on-the-ground pictures of it fitted? The images on the website are vague on detail. Specifically how the arms are mounted at the rear bridge and the strut on the non-drive side.

I fitted a rear rack, a little bit of bodging to get it around the disc brake required.

So I just went to bleed the Magura brakes for the first time. How hard can it be?

And guess who's brakes now work perfectly first time!

Not mine, lol

I have found the best way to get the most out of Magura brakes is start by putting them in the bin and finish by fitting any Shimano hydraulic brakes

I can get some photos of this for you tomorrow

I know this is the smart answer. I've posted the same thing in Dammit's thread on several occasions but now that I have them and have already sunk money into making them work, I want them to work. I finally understand

Have I mentioned how much I fucking love my omnium?

nice shot!

So you have actually installed brakeless?

Brakeless cargo for sweet flow and oneness with the bik

Technically yes

Got veery excited about this Urban Arrow, then realised it had roller brakes :(

Every review I have read of roller brakes ends with a story of them catching fire, or failing on a long descent, and needing a total strip down to re-grease (if they havent melted). Why would Urban Arrow, or anyone, fit them to a £4000 bike? Infuriating because this is the exact chassis I want at a great price, but I'd need to switch out both wheels.

Also I'm making the assumption I can just unbolt the passenger box quite simply without damaging it, or does anyone know different?

I have the same question; I am putting it down to the whole Dutch thing. Their infra doesent require mad stoppage as a cunty cabbie isnt around the corner for them .. I guess.

If that’s your budget why don’t you contact Pedal me? They are moving on their older XLs. CX, Rohloff, 4 pot brakes.

wait what? got a link or do I have to email?

Yes I used to work for them, and someone mentioned this to me on a few weeks back. Everyone was super busy though and the conversation sort of stalled. Is it really happening now???

Definitely interested, who do I contact?

Email, they sell their bikes with the proviso you do a couple of hours of training.

As William used to work there he may be able to forgo that though.
