  Any recommendations on tubeless valves? Need to do a bulk buy.

• Internal geared hubs?

  £50-ish pounds I would expect.

  I'd recommend Holy Spokes, Really Useful Bikes (out in Yate, but really knows his stuff), or St. Werburghs Cycles, or Bike Workshop on Colston Street.

  and only 7 clicks available at the hub itself, so i'm assuming it must be something internal.

  yeah, with clickbox removed I only have 7 clicks, so obviously not that that's causing the problems.

  Nah I've tried all of that. I only get 7 gears from either extreme, 14 or 1. I'll have another mess around tomorrow when I have more patience.

  Anyone have experience with Rohloff? I've only got 7 gears available on a bike. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the orientation of the transfer cog, but can't seem to get it right. I've also got the cable pulley box cabled up and would rather not waste another two cables to get it orientated correctly. Any tips?

  Yeah thanks. I know a few of the folks at MP smarter travel and there are some local grants here too, but from what I've heard it's a long slow process.

  Very much early exploratory stages. Just find it hard to drop anything over £1000 on a bicycle (or anything for that matter). Which I think coincidentally matches my expense on a omnium nearly a decade ago.

  Would be for business usage, but 6k, whilst not surprising, is somewhat off putting.

  Has anyone ridden a Bullitt X? Worth the extra over a standard Bullitt for the increased space? How does it compare in loading volume to a UA XL? Are there any plans to produce an electric version?
