With a lot of bike theft in London, I was concerned about how easy it is to take the wheels off my RadRunner with those quick release skewers You see a lot of bikes missing wheels, or random wheels, locked - where the rest of the bike has been stolen 

I came across the below, which have security keys and the axles go up to 140mm on the front wheel and 180mm on the rear wheel. With the fatter tires on the RadRunner and motor on the rear wheel - it makes it a bit more complicated...

I really don't know much about bikes in terms of how to compare the necessary lengths, but do you think that these be suitable for a RadRunner, given that you've got fat tires and the motor on the rear wheel?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers in advance!

Needed a basket for my RadRunner and couldn't wait for our friends to restock the basket accessories. So did a bit of research and just took delivery of the basket...

Electra Linear QR Mesh Low Profile Basket - https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-bags-baskets-panniers/bike-baskets/electra-linear-qr-mesh-low-profile-basket/p/14476/

I took a punt, but the holes line up with four of the holes in the rear rack frame well enough to securely bolt the basket straight to the rear of the RadRunner. Looks great too. Will share a pic when it stops raining.

Morning all,

I hope you're all well and keeping safe.

After doing 20 miles on my RadRunner on the potholes and cobbles of London streets - am really keen to get a new saddle for my bike as I really felt the seat towards the end of the ride. However i'm finding that the challenge is the seatpost...

Not that knowledgeable, presumably something with some flex or suspension would help and compensate for the fact that the RadRunner doesn't have suspension? Or should i just go for a standard rigid seatpost and make sure that the saddle is comfortable? Or ideally a combination of both?

The seatposts which flex or have their own suspension appeals - but the problem i have is that i'm a "heavy" rider and most of those types of seatposts have a max rider weight limit.

Any advice over what combination to go for, and recommended seatposts, would be really much appreciated!

Just to flag - being based in the UK, i may not be able to purchase some of your recommendations this side of the pond.

Thanks in advance!

Chris
