Great feedback, thanks all.
It does have massive 2.8 tyres on 40mm rims at about 18 psi so pretty draggy compared to my 2.4 tyres on 26mm rims.
I’m off to Nant yr Arian today so I’ll try a higher cadence, on the climbs, because I’m cycling alone. I’m quite happy with eco mode and have no interest in turbo.
The tyre pressure is perfect for my ability/riding so that stays, maybe things loosen up a bit.
Despite my range concerns, it is a great bike. I normally have quite negative thoughts when climbing long climbs, as a result of my mind wandering, but for the first time in years my mind stayed clear and positive which was very welcome!
I wasn’t expecting mental health benefits!
Thanks again for the feedback and advice.
Hey colp, I stripped my bike down and torqued/added loctite etc before my first ride so I found it reasonably quiet. Agree about the pedalling, the gearing is superb and, despite the weight, you can pedal pretty easily!
