    ebike

    Saw this today and chatted with the owner. He brought it in from Europe and commutes to Hout Bay from Cape Town. Has capacity for two batteries so a range of around 60k. Looks to be more a motocycle than a bicycle. I like, even though it would be a bit small for me.

    front fork seal blown

    I am assuming, seeing as the chrome stanchion above the dust seal is wet with oil and there are oil splotches on the front mudguard and frame. Is it a big job to repair? Can I commute for 2 days (30km/day) until I can get it repaired? Thanks

    can I pull away in 2nd

    mainly while commuting? My sense is that while there will be increased forces at play on the clutch when pulling away in 2nd on the flat, it shouldn't be significant enough to be a problem. I don't think I'm slipping the clutch anymore than one would when pulling away in 1st. pulling away in...
