European-type city bikes are increasingly in popularity in the United States, so much so that Trek decided to bring their top-of-the-line city bikes from Europe to market stateside. The District 4 Equipped Stagger offers geometry similar to the flagship Trek Townie with larger wheels, a shorter wheelbase and longer seat tube to adapt more easily to mixed urban terrain. The success of e-bikes in the category has cleared space for more aggressive cruisers like the District 4 that emphasize the simplicity of on-bike experience instead of decreased physical exertion.

For many riders in major American cities, Trek is a controversial name. The brand has seen public outcry and boycotts in the wake of the 2020 racial justice protests for supplying police departments across the country with bikes designed for crowd suppression. However, Trek is not alone in their contentious affiliation, as others have also received condemnation for their ties to law enforcement and military contracts.

Though the online discourse is decidedly not in their favor, Trek maintains an outsized presence in cycling due to the breadth and quality of their products. Their bicycles are fitted with high-end components and backed by top-notch repairs and customer service, while their global brick-and-mortar presence makes the brand well-suited for first-time riders and avid cyclists alike.

The District range offers two bikes, a step-over model with flat bars and a step-through (Stagger) bike with swept-back cruiser bars. Each are available in Europe with the addition of an electric motor under the District+ name, though these e-bike variants have yet to make it to American shores. Both District models provide an upright riding position, while the Stagger offers more comfort at the expense of climbing ability. They are only available fully equipped (meaning with rack, fenders, and lights), as many of the accessories are integrated with the frame.

The District 4 Equipped Stagger is curated at the component level to make daily rides easier and more comfortable. It features a silent internal gear rear hub, a clean-running belt drive system, powerful disc brakes, and a dynamo front hub which powers the front and rear lights. No creature comfort is spared, and though the price point makes that apparent, the ability to commute safely right out of the box is tremendous.

The District 4 has ergonomic Bontrager Satellite Elite grips, which project down to support the palm, and offer dual-density pressure distribution to make holding the bars as gentle on your hands as possible. The partially-split Bontrager Commuter Comp saddle pairs well, allowing an extended upright position without sacrificing soft tissue protection. Both components are waterproof to handle any conditions.

The bike also comes equipped with front and rear SKS plastic fenders to keep your pants clean in the event of an unexpected drizzle. Combined with the internal hub and belt drive, it’s easy to dismount the District 4 Equipped Stagger in approximately the same state of composure as when you got on.

Though the Stagger model sacrifices the seat tube bottle mount found on the non-step through District, the down tube mount has plenty of room for a large water bottle. The loss of storage capacity is also barely missed since the large aluminum MIK-compatible rack has the size and durability to attach multiple panniers with room to spare.

As a frequent bike commuter from Brooklyn into Lower Manhattan, I was eager to run the District 4 through its paces to see if I could really get to work as clean and sweat-free as the lifestyle commuter promised. Mounting the bike is as easy as sitting down on a chair and the upright cruiser bar position makes back strain negligible.

I set off and was immediately awed by the silence of the belt drive system. My jangling keys were the loudest thing on the bike. Allure shortly became alarm when I realized that my silence made no impression on the pedestrians or vehicles around me. Then I noticed that the bike lacked a bell. On most bikes, the bell is a user-added preference but on the District 4 I couldn’t help but feel its absence among the included buffet of commute accessories. Plus, a bell is required in many places.

My ride into the city begins with a non-trivial mile-long incline, which proved the greatest challenge to the District 4. On a bike with a more traditional flat bar, one can adjust their posture to tackle an incline with only a little added exertion. The step-through Stagger model with its cruiser bar makes climbing slow at best. At 34lbs, the bike isn’t outlandishly heavy, but it bears close to 10 pounds more weight than my daily ride. I made a mental note to re-draw my route and avoid roads over a 5° incline.

On flatter roads and downhills, the District 4 really shines. The internal hub shifts are responsive and offer decent range, though I found myself topping out the highest of the bike’s 8-speeds on a few descents. Though the bike is comfortable reaching speeds up to 20mph, I experienced front wheel wobble as I neared 25mph and consequently had to readjust the fenders. Slowing down from high speed is a piece of cake for the District 4, with quick-action hydraulic disc brakes ideal for defensive urban riding.

The District is a head-turner, too. Fellow cyclists loved seeing the disc brakes, belt drive, and front hub dynamo-integrated lighting system. Loaded up with my groceries and bar-mounted burrito pouch, I found myself knocking out errands including an overzealous trip to the hardware store with ease.

Though I only had to perform superficial maintenance and the bike promises little need, the internal hub and belt enclosure make DIY maintenance unappealing. If something goes wrong on the District 4, you’ll probably be taking it to the shop. Luckily, there’s at least one brick-and-mortar Trek location in most major cities, including one right en route to my office.

The District 4 Equipped Stagger doesn’t necessarily make cycling more appealing to newcomers, but it does provide plenty of amenities for those who already enjoy the ride. The missing accessories are easily added and the route indelicacies avoided. Fender and lighting integration reduce the likelihood of theft and encourage biking for all manner of local travel.

The District 4 is the distilled essence of urban cycling without the grime, noise, or inconveniences. If you’re a regular cyclist who wants a polished, high-end, out of the box solution for easy commuting and errands, this is a bike for you.

Trek District 4 Equipped

• Price : $1749
• Tire : 700×40c
• Brake: Shimano MT200 Hydraulic Disc

What we like about it: A   cost-effective city bike with high-end components, a simple and stylish appearance, and superior and refined performance.

What we don’t like about it : Too few body color options.

Rating (4.7/5)

If you’re like me and want a great city bike with great performance and great looks at a great price. Then don’t miss this Trek District 4 Equipped, because there’s nothing else like it.

The Trek District 4 has a lightweight yet strong enough Alpha Smooth aluminum frame, an ergonomic and comfortable geometry, and powerful Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

Not only that but the Trek District 4 has a Gates CDX belt drive design. This makes the ride quiet enough. The design of the bike with fenders, rear rack, and front and rear lights also greatly saves me the trouble of installing them myself.

The Trek District 4 has given me many enjoyable riding experiences during my four-month-long review. If you want to know more, just read on.

City Riding

As a face person who values appearance, I fell in love with the Trek District 4 Equipped from the first moment I saw it. I thought this is the bike I am looking for. Since the body comes with pedals as well as fenders and a rear rack, I couldn’t wait to start my ride after getting the essentials ready for the ride.

Doing a ride on the Monona Lake Loop is an enjoyable cycling experience. Because I could enjoy the comfortable geometry of the Trek District 4 while taking in the magnificent views along the trail. Feeling the calmness of the Bontrager H2 Comp’s moderately wide tires driving over the smooth trails. It gave me the ultimate relaxation. Of course, the credit for such a quiet ride needs to go to the Gates CDX belt drive system.

As my riding time grew, I started to stop being satisfied with a moderate ride. The Shimano Alfine S7000 1×8-Speed doesn’t have a lot of gearing range, but it has a smooth enough shifting feel. The shifting process is also quiet enough with the belt drive, which makes me very satisfied.

Back to the more crowded sidewalks for the ride, where I had to keep my riding speed under control. Thankfully, the Trek District 4’s braking system is the upscale Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brake that I am very familiar with, which gave me great support. Whenever I needed to slow down accordingly, the Shimano MT200 was always extremely sensitive to my intentions and gave me the most timely feedback.

After a long 4h ride, I decided to take a break. The long ride should have brought me some fatigue, but thanks to the comfortable Bontrager saddle of Trek District 4, it relieved my fatigue to a great extent.

In addition, I am very satisfied with the design of the Trek District 4 with mountable water bottle cages. The three water bottle holders allow me to carry more than enough water bottles. When I take a break in the middle of the course, I can get good hydration from it.

General Riding

Riding through the forest park, with regular pedaling and a quiet enough Gates CDX belt drive system, I was fully engaged in this aimless ride. Just enjoying the gentle breeze and the sound of the leaves rustling overhead.

The ride took me to an unusually wooded section where the overhead foliage was blocking out the sun. Although it was not yet night, I chose to turn on the Trek District 4’s headlight for a safer ride. The wide Bontrager H2 Comp tires with thread beads on the surface gave me a good grip, and I made it through without a hitch.

As the ride progressed, I inevitably encountered a winding trail where I had to keep turning. But the Trek District 4’s steep 71° head tube angle handled this test well and gave me a very enjoyable ride. Not only that, but the Alpha Smooth Aluminum’s bodywork also provides some assistance to the nimble steering. You know how important a light enough body is in riding.

Because the Trek District 4 is not a racing bike per se, the geometry is not overly designed for speed. Most notably, the Trek District 4 has a short 394mm reach. Because of this, I don’t have to squeeze my body down too much during the ride. This also avoids the strenuous experience of lowering my body.

All in all, Trek District 4 has been an easy and enjoyable ride for me. I’m very glad to have a bike that fits my needs in every way.

Main Features

The Trek District 4 has a lightweight but stiff Alpha Smooth aluminum frame that guarantees a lightweight body without losing the necessary sturdiness. The only regret is that the Trek District 4 is available in too few paint colors, although its matte silver-gray body design is good enough to look at.

The design of the body with fenders, footrests and rear rack also save me from a lot of tedious operations of installing them myself. In addition, the body comes with lights to ensure that I can pass on every road at will, regardless of the visibility there.

Another important point that I like about Trek District 4 is that it has three water bottle cage mounts. This allows me to carry enough water bottles and not worry about not having enough hydration on the ride.

The Trek District 4 provides me with a comfortable enough riding experience thanks to its standard, ergonomic geometry.

First off, its sufficiently inclined 73° seat tube angle carries a comfortable saddle, which allows me to swing my legs most efficiently. It also saves a lot of unnecessary wasted energy while guaranteeing a comfortable ride. The equally steep 71° head tube angle will provide me with a quick enough response when steering, even when facing roads with too many turns.

Its moderately long Reach of 394mm is optimal for me from the perspective of easing riding fatigue. The not-too-long Reach value allows me to maintain my most comfortable riding position. This is because you don’t have to squeeze your body down too much, and you don’t get a stiff, sore feeling in your back as a result. Also, if you prefer a more stable bike, then its long enough（468mm）rear dropout fork will be something you’ll like.

Components and Specifications

Shimano mt200 hydraulic disc brake.

As a high-grade hydraulic disc braking method, Shimano MT200 has an absolute advantage over the traditional mechanical disc. Not only considering its more efficient handbrake braking method, but the more responsive hydraulic disc brake is also a point that cannot be ignored.

When I need to brake, all I need to do is apply a little pressure on the lever and the Trek District 4 responds immediately as it should. Not only that, but the hydraulic disc brake has a fully enclosed design. This is a great way to keep airborne dust or gravel and debris from the road. Because of this, hydraulic disc brakes tend to have a longer service life. All of this allows me to enjoy the ride with peace of mind.

Bontrager H2 Comp 700x40c Tire

The Trek District 4’s wider 700 x 40c wheels are not as good as some of the thinner wheels, although they are not as good in terms of riding speed. But the Trek District 4 is not positioned as a racing bike, so this is not a major drawback.

On the contrary, the Trek District 4’s wider tires with the wire bead on the tire surface gave me enough confidence and a super stable riding experience. Not only that, but the puncture-resistant design can also fully guarantee the safety of the riding process, without worrying about the risk of a flat tire.

As we all know, taller tires tend to have better shock absorption. Although I don’t encounter too many bumps in the city, the taller tires of the Trek District 4 ensure a good ride in special situations, such as the brick paths inside the park.

Shimano Alfine S7000 1×8 Drivetrain

When it comes to the Trek District 4 drivetrain, I have to mention its unique Gates CDX belt drive system. Not only does this technology make my ride quieter, but the virtually maintenance-free nature of the Gates CDX makes it more durable and longer lasting than a standard chain.

As you know, although the 1×8-speed doesn’t have a wide range of shifts, I don’t encounter overly complex terrain that requires an extensive shifting system on my daily rides. As a result, I don’t have to worry about running out of gear.

The 1× gearing range is also more popular among cyclists because of its simplicity and ease of operation, leaving aside the gearing range. Compared with the 2× and 3× drivetrains, the 1× drivetrains used in Trek District 4 also reduce the weight of the body to a certain extent.

Other versions of Trek District 4 Equipped

In the previous article, we reviewed the performance of the Trek District 4 Equipped in detail and accurately. But for your convenience, we have also reviewed the Trek District 4 Equipped.

At a very similar price point, the Trek District and Trek District are also very similar in performance.

The Trek District is based on the Trek District and retains a considerable amount of good design. They all have a virtually maintenance-free belt drive system, a lightweight yet rugged Alpha Smooth Aluminum body frame, and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.

Also, both the Trek District and the Trek District have the same standard geometry design. That’s why they both give me the same comfortable riding experience. Not only that, but they both have the same internal alignment design. This makes the bodywork look neater and reduces unnecessary maintenance.

Therefore, I think the Trek District is not much different from the Trek District in terms of overall riding experience. Both of them are good choices.

What we like about it ?

• Super cost-effective city bike for easy commuting.
• High-grade hydraulic disc brake method, higher quality, and longer service life.
• A belt drive system that operates quietly and has a long service life.
• The body comes with fenders, a rear rack, and footrests, eliminating the need to install them yourself.
• Comfortable geometric design to effectively relieve riding pressure.

What we don’t like about it ?

• The body color is not rich enough.

What is the tire size of the Trek District 4 Equipped?

The tire size of the Trek District 4 Equipped is 700 x 40c.

What is the drivetrain of the Trek District 4 Equipped?

The drivetrain of the Trek District 4 Equipped is 1×8-Speed.

What is the brake for the Trek District 4 Equipped?

The brakes on the Trek District 4 Equipped are Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

How do I choose the size of the Trek District 4 Equipped?

Trek District 4 Equipped Specs

Comparison Table

Priority 600 vs trek district 4 equipped.

I was very interested in the Priority 600 when I conducted a comparison review of the two bikes. Because the Priority 600 has been touting a car-inspired pinion shifting system.

After some riding reviews, I found that the Priority 600 does have some fresh innovations. In addition, the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and carbon seat post gave me a nice ride. But perhaps it was the longer Trek District ride and the fact that it had the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes that I was more familiar with. And they both have the same aluminum frame, so as far as my personal feelings are concerned, they are not comparable.

However, the Priority 600 is a bit more expensive than the Trek District’s better price. If you have more budget, then Priority 600 is a good choice. If you don’t have the budget, I would recommend Trek District.

Cannondale Bad Boy 1 vs Trek District 4 Equipped

From my personal feelings, despite its higher price, the Cannondale Bad Boy doesn’t seem to be much different from the Trek District in terms of performance.

The first thing I noticed is that they both have the same aluminum frame and Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes. In addition, they are all equally comfortable in terms of geometry construction. This also ensured that I didn’t feel too much fatigue during the ride.

Not only that, but they also all use the design of belt drives. This not only effectively and efficiently improves the speed of the chain use but also well ensures quietness when riding.

So, in terms of riding experience and performance, both are good. But in terms of cost-effectiveness, I would recommend the Trek District 4 Equipped more.

CUBE TRAVEL SL vs Trek District 4 Equipped

The Basis on extremely similar prices, CUBE TRAVEL, and Trek District has quite a few similarities.

For example, in terms of power tradition, both choose a more durable belt drive, as well as the classic powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brake. Further, they both coincidentally and identically choose the same aluminum frame. This ensures absolute sturdiness while keeping the weight of the body well under control.

But in terms of differences, the CUBE TRAVEL has a more extensive drivetrain. The CUBE TRAVEL also has stronger and more durable vacuum tires. As a result, the CUBE TRAVEL has a lighter weight compared to the Trek District.

Therefore, it is difficult for me to say which one I recommend in the comparison between them. All I can say is that no matter which one you choose, they will bring you a pleasant enough riding experience.

Canyon Commuter Sport 8.0 vs Trek District 4 Equipped

From the first glance at the Canyon Commuter, I could easily spot the obvious difference between the Canyon Commuter and the Trek District. The Canyon Commuter’s tires are thinner and have a longer reach.

As I suspected, the Canyon Commuter has a lighter body weight by comparison. But as I mentioned earlier, as a commuter bike, it’s not designed to be ridden faster. So the Canyon Commuter’s lightweight and thin tires didn’t make me feel too happy, but rather I appreciated the calm and secure feeling the Trek District gave me.

In terms of components, both also chose the more classic Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, as well as the more durable belt drive in the drivetrain. In terms of components and riding experience, I feel that their riding experience is similar.

So my recommendation is that if you’re looking for a faster ride, then I recommend the Canyon Commuter. Conversely, if you want a more sedate ride, then I recommend the Trek District.

Specificaties

Anwb-fietsverzekering.

Wil je zorgeloos genieten van je nieuwe fiets? Met een doorlopende fietsverzekering van de ANWB/Unigarant wordt dat een stuk eenvoudiger. Er zijn twee mogelijkheden:

Pakket 1: diefstal Met dit pakket is je fiets verzekerd tegen diefstal. Met het bedrag dat je aan je fiets hebt uitgegeven zoek je een nieuwe fiets uit. Je fiets vermindert in waarde en dus krijg je vanaf het 4e jaar na aankoop een lager bedrag uitgekeerd.

Pakket 2: diefstal en schade Dit pakket bevat de diefstalverzekering zoals hierboven omschreven. Daarnaast krijg je een vergoeding voor verhaalsrechtsbijstand (de kosten voor het verhalen van schade die je hebt geleden door een verkeersongeval waarbij je met de fiets betrokken bent geweest) en de beschadiging van onderdelen door diefstal, aanrijding of val. Een ongevallenuitkering bij blijvend letsel of overlijden is ook inbegrepen.

Hoe werkt het afsluiten van de verzekering? Selecteer het gewenste pakket in het bestelproces. ANWB/Unigarant stuurt je binnen 10 werkdagen de polisvoorwaarden. Vanaf de eerste dag dat je je fiets in bezit hebt is deze verzekerd. Je betaalt dus niet onnodig premie. Wil je de verzekering opzeggen? Na 1 jaar is de verzekering maandelijks opzegbaar, via de ANWB. Bel 088 269 28 37 of bezoek de website van de ANWB voor meer informatie.

Wat moet ik doen bij diefstal of een ongeval? Meld het via ANWB schademelden . Het kan zijn dat je een eigen risico betaalt, afhankelijk van de situatie. Deze informatie vind je op de verzekeringskaart van de ANWB . Hier vind je ook meer over de dekking en de verschillen tussen de pakketten.

2023 Trek District 4 Equipped Stagger

• Trek Distrct 1 / 2: They have roller brakes instead of disk brakes. It's just a little bit too hilly around here to risk overheating them; they are chain driven instead of belt driven; they have suspension forks
• Trek District 3 Equipped: 100 lumens instead of 180 lumens from the equipped front light, Nexus 8 speed rather than Alfine 8 speed, Gates CDN components instead of CDX, 'Revoshift' shifter instead of trigger shifter - if it wasn't for the shifter, this is the model I would have plumped for.
• Canyon Commuter 6 / 7 : 2.5kg lighter than the Trek, Carbon Fork (instead of Aluminium), more expensive, only very basic information about it's geometry published, lower system weight (120 kg as opposed to 135 kg), no supplied kick stand, Gates CDN components instead of CDX, has no rack lugs lacks some flexibility, looks a bit 'flashy' for a commuting bike
• Canyon Commuter 9 Ltd: Very nice, lighter still but very spendy, looks too special to leave locked up
• Cube Tavel Exc/Pro: Practically unobtanium at the moment although very well priced; Pro has great tyre clearances; 115kg system weight is a no go for me as I do like to load a bike up occasionally
• Ridgeback Supernova Eq: Very well priced, being available for ~ £900 and the only thing I found it lacking was the belt drive. If it wasn't for the colour not hiding dirt very well, this could have been it.
• Boardman URB 8.9: Not an equipped bike but it is at least belt drive and the RRP of £899 would mean it could be similarly equipped as the Trek and still be cheaper; however, difficult to find any current stock
• 18 May 2024
• I can't imagine they sell may of these in Kenilworth; I found myself on a 40m climb and it definitely felt overgeared (I was expecting that).
• The position is very upright and relaxed - perfect for sight seeing.
• Depending what gear the hub is in, the only sound audible from the bike is the tyres. Some of the gears do sound a bit like there's a chain whirling around down there somewhere but the majority are silent.
• Paint finish is seems to be very nice indeed. And the decals are much more subtle than they appear in the stock photos.
• The bike is said to weigh around 13-14kg and I'd say it was commensurate with that. Not as light as Canyon's offering but I'd say it was pretty good considering all the standard kit and the hub gear.
• I like the backswept handles bars for relaxed riding and the ergonmic locked on grips compliment this well. These bars didn't seem to bother me as much as the lack of an extra gear or the very relaxed sitting position when climbing - they were noted as a detraction in one of the prominent reviews for it
• Saddle seems fine, to my well worn in backside. It's quite broad and well matched to the upright sitting position.
• The bike is very assured and stable, with very little knocking it off course
• It would have been nice to have 172.5mm cranks on the medium size - I'm surprised but I can definitely tell I'm on shorter 170mm cranks. The Gates crankset is only available with 170mm and 175mm cranks.
• It doesn't not come equipped with the DuoTrap 2 ANT+ compatible speed/cadence sensor but does have the facility to accommodate one.

Well I've found a very minor issue. The MIK compatible rack does not work with the Altura panniers I have. The rack is made from some fairly substantial section aluminum and the clips on the panniers don't accommodate it. As you can also see from the pictures, the supplied rack doesn't haven't any stays, attaching instead to the mudguard. There are lugs in the seat stays for conventional stays but they are going to intefere with the rear wheel lock. Temptation here is to lose the wheel lock, get another Topeak Super Tourist DX rack and then as well as using my panniers, I can also use the MTX trunk bag which lives on the Ribble CGR.

Nice photo and congratulations on the new bike. How does it work in terms of roadside puncture repairs (back wheel)? How do you detach the gear cables from the hub? How do you like the swept back style handlebar?

I used the bike this morning for my regular 10 mile 'faux commute' - which will be it's main duty in rotation with the Gas Pipe Hybrid when that has regained trust following the dodgy wheel truing debacle . This route is a mixture of road, cycle track, gravel and it has a few inclines - including a couple of short ones I knew would be challenging with the gearing. I've been doing it on the last two weeks with the hard tail mountain bike - only taking a slightly different route on that most days which goes along some canal tow path and features house bricks and stones the size of house bricks sticking up at all angles out of some of it's surface. The good news was that on average, this bike was no slower compared to a similar effort on the mountain bike. There's a longish gentle ascent at the begining of the ride along a main road which I took in leiu of the tow path, theoretically giving some speed advantage but, the mountain bike is turned out to be faster on these sections as well as the gravel sections thanks to it's suspension, wider tyres and slightly more assured handling on the loose stuff. On the down hill bits, I was pulling about 20 mph and I didn't feel like I would spin out, with one gear to go before I hit the bottom end. Ironically, on the first down hill section I mentioned above, the mountain bike has been quicker - the few times I've used it to go that way. On flat sections of road, I get along quite nicely at 15-16 mph. This feels like pulling evens on the Ribble CGR. And compares favourably with the mountain bike which was around 1.5 mph slower. On the gravel, the 40mm tyres seem like a good compromise. I found it much better than the Gas Pipe Hybrid with it's 35mm tyres and save for a couple of sharp corners where the bike felt almost skittish, it was a more confident ride if not as carefree as the mountain bike. There are a couple of inclines on which I ran out of gearing and had to stand-up out of the saddle. My overall take at the moment is that the bike is a bit high geared for lumpy places, but not massively so that I'm wondering about making any changes. I reserve the right to change my mind when there's luggage involved! The only drawback, quite obviously, with the relaxed upright riding position is the ability to get the power down. It's definitely not as fluid as other bikes. Which is fine, given it's not really what this bike is about. Finally, we reach a low point. When honking and when accelerating hard there's a very pronounced clicking from the bottom bracket area. Both on left and right pedal going down. The bottom bracket looks like a very cheap part and it is a standerd english-threaded cartridge with 68 mm shell, 120 mm spindles and a JIS taper. I'll replace that with a better quality part and if the issue continues, I'll check in with my local Trek dealer. All in all, very pleased with the bike.

I took the 'faux commute' again this morning, this time on the Gas Pipe Hybrid , so named because it is heavy but perhaps that is not all down to the frame . Perhaps I should start calling it Boat Anchor Hybrid instead. Anyway, I thought it would give a reasonable comparison. I averaged something approaching 1 km/h faster over the course, with top speeds that were 5 km/h faster. And that's with on average, 5 bpm lower heart rate. This bike has a much more aggressive riding position, which is closer to the Ribble CGR, if ridden on the tops. Rim brakes though, which means slowing down sooner on the corners. No surprises with this. Looking at my history in Strava, I think it's safe to say it's a smidge faster than a hard tail mountain bike but a fair bit slower than a middling (in terms of riding position) hybrid bike.

Nearly 250 km down now. Slowed down a bit due to a dog walking induced injury, involving a squirrel. Couple more things to add. Bottle cage mount ... it's a tight squeeze getting bottles in and out of there (between the top and the down tubes). Some extra bosses, either on the seat tube, the sloping top tube or the bottom side of the down tube would have been nice. I did try a fidlock twist bottle/mount but the single set of lugs on the down tube are too close to the seat post for that to work. I've learned that the Nexus Alpine 8 speed is really four gears (3 different size sun gears and direct drive) driven through an optional reduction ring which gives the second set of four gears at lower ratios. There are quite big jumps between 1st and 2nd (quite welcome) but because of the reduction ring, you have quite a big jump between 4th and 5th. 5th is direct drive (and by far the most efficient gear) with 6th, 7th and 8th been over drive. 4th is very inefficient - so much so that often it does not feel like there is any progression switching from 3rd to 4th. I'm finding myself increasingly just using 3rd or 5th for cruising. 3rd is quite useful on the flat into a headwind or on a long, gentle ascent. Or when I'm trying to stay within zone 2. 5th is fine on the flat, or slight descent or even slight ascent with a tailwind. It comes up at around 15-16 mph which feels a bit fast for most of the cycling infrastructure around here, but is fine on road. I think this is the singular worst thing about this hub. The lack of progression between 3rd and 4th and the jump between 4th and 5th just dulls what is, otherwise a fine compromise over derailleur gears a little bit more than I would like. Not so much, that I wouldn't buy the bike, but enough that this type of IGH is not going to be a good choice for other bikes. 4th is also subtlely noisier than any of the other gears - although it's probably audiable just because of the quiet belt drive. Doubt you'd hear it over a chain clattering away. But you can just feel it too. In terms of shifting, it is a boon being able to shift while stationary - it frees your mind up a bit when anticipating traffic movements. But I have to remember to anticipate when switching back to a derailleur geared bike - got caught out a couple of times today on the mountain bike. This bike doesn't really like shifting under any pedalling force. You need to ease right back on the power when you shift. It can sometimes take a while for pawls moving the sun gears into position to fully engage so you have to make sure that the right gear does feel engaged before steaming on. If there is any delay in the pawls engaging, you get an audible metallic twang when they do - just like with a derailleur when the chain finally engages on the correct cog on an imperfect shift. The more force you are pedalling with, the louder the twang. The other thing of note, is that a slightly heavier rider like myself (just shy of 80kg) standing on the pedals can exceed the rated torque for the hub. Something I didn't know until recently - and the Alfine version of the hub does have a mechanism to reduce any damage done with too much torque. But that's something else I'm now also conscious of and having to train myself out of. I'm also thinking the bike would really benefit from a steel fork for riding on gravel and other less than ideal surfaces. There's a fair bit on my regular morning faux commute, and with the 40mm tyres (which I'm running at 50 PSI) it's not too bad, but the other bike (chromo frame) on it's 37mm tyres is a smidge more forgiving. I'm nit picking really though - the difference isn't huge. Heading out for 25 miles on the mountain bike today, I really missed having back swept bars. The hand position just felt wrong!  

• 10 Jun 2024

I've now sorted luggage, at least for day trips. A Basil MIK adapter plate and a cheap (Crank Bros) trunk bag were aquired and after some fettling, merged together. So at least I'm not cycling without a toolkit. Said tookit includes a 15mm pedal wrench for undoing the axle lock nuts and a set of torx keys which I'll hopefully have enough purchase on if I need to open up the drive side of the rear triangle to effect a puncture repair. Although, in the first instance I'll probably try and flop the tube out from betwix rim and tyre and repair it in situ. I'm also contemplating adding some slime to the rear tube to try and make p*nct*res less likely. I'm not sure what to do about a set of panniers. The MIK ready ones don't look like they'd work with a trunk bag. I might just lob a basket on the front instead - I think the most I'm likely to carry is a loaf of bread and a carton of milk anyway.  

Still rolling along

@PedallingNowhereSlowly Thanks, really useful information on living with an Alfine hub.  

No worries. There are people that do world tours with them. I can see the benefits, but I'm not sure I'd really want to. I suppose when you are 'bike packing', and the bike is geared down appropriately, it's okay so long as you are mindful not to deliver too much torque through the pedals by standing up on them. I'm trying to find the actual torque figure written down somewhere - I've watched a few YouTube videos that have mentioned it. They are approved for e-bike use but can't be paired with hi-torque motors. The other thing which I don't think would stand up to well on extended tours is the service interval. 2,000 km doesn't seem like huge distance between services. The current dealer manual (page 7) states 2,000 km. It looks like there was an earlier version that stated 5,000 km. So Shimano have revised this figure down quite substantially. The 11-speed alfine hub does at least have an oil fill port, so you can at least do an oil change out on the road. In fact, from what I've read/watched, these tend to seep out a small amount of oil so they need to be re-filled periodically. The 11-speed hub is lubricated with oil. It looks like old 8 speed hubs were greased but the dealer manual make it seem like they are now oiled instead. The 11 speed hubs were less reliable but the (again) unsourced information I have is that Shimano have improved components in them to make them more reliable. The 11 speed hubs also have more universal jumps between gears right through the range. As well as the wider range, of course.  

Itching to get back on my bike's

• 11 Jun 2024

Can the gear ratios be changed easily to help with climbing? And how does it feel when dancing on the pedals on hills? As some bikes just feel wrong in my experience.  

I rode a bike with a Nexus Alpine 8 for a while, a Ridgeback Flight 04 (2016) , I eventually sold it as I'd stopped using it. I found the orginal ratio a little high for me so you are able to swap the rear sprocket to give an overall lower/higher set of ratios as you need it. Just something @PedallingNowhereSlowly you said about punctures, as the rear is little fiddly to remove (though once you have the knack its ok) I went for a combo of puncture resistant tyres and those self adhesive patches. Regarding servicing I was never confident enough to do the hub myself so I found a local dealer that did these hubs and got them to do it. Just re-reading my post about selling it I remember loving the eccentric BB, you can rotate the BB to add chain tension as needed. Its a smart solution and I hope you have the same.

History of Novosibirsk Oblast

Over thousands of years, the territory of the Novosibirsk region, due to its location on the border of natural zones and cultural regions (the Siberian taiga and the Eurasian steppe), played the role of a buffer zone or border zone of different peoples.

In the 13th-15th centuries, this land was the eastern outskirts of the Golden Horde. Later, until the end of the 16th century, it was part of the Siberian Khanate. In the 18th century, the territory of the present Novosibirsk region became part of the Russian Empire.

Despite the relatively favorable climate, the Russians began to settle here relatively late. The Barabin Tatars were the indigenous people. Today, their total population is about 10,000 people living mainly in the western parts of the region.

The Barabin Tatars were subjected to constant attacks of the Kalmyks (the Oyrates and Teleuts). Russian villages were also under the threat. That’s why people preferred to settle in the north, near Tomsk. Only at the end of the 17th century, Novosibirsk province became attractive to settlers.

More Historical Facts…

The first settlement was founded by the boyar son Alexey Kruglik in 1695. Later, this settlement became the village of Kruglikovo. Today, it is located in Bolotninsky district. In the early 18th century, Berdsky stockaded town was built. Over time, the threat from the nomads decreased and the number of settlers increased.

In 1722, the Siberian line of fortresses along the Irtysh River was constructed. The locals were mainly engaged in soil tilling, fishing and hunting. In the early 19th century, the famous Ural manufacturer Akinfiy Demidov constructed two copper melting plants here - Kolyvansky and Barnaulsky.

In 1893, due to the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the railway bridge across the Ob River, Alexandrovsky settlement was built (from 1895 - Novonikolayevsky). Thanks to its convenient geographical location (the Trans-Siberian Railway crossing the Ob River, transportation ways connecting Siberia with the European part of the Russian Empire), its trade importance grew rapidly. In 1909, Novonikolayevsk became a town. In 1925, it was renamed in Novosibirsk.

Before 1921, the territory of Novosibirsk oblast was part of Tomsk gubernia, from 1921 to 1925 - of Novonikolayevsk gubernia, from 1925 to 1930 - of Siberian krai, from 1930 to 1937 - of West Siberian krai. September 28, 1937, West Siberian krai was divided into Novosibirsk oblast and Altay krai. This date is considered the official date of the region formation.

Novosibirsk Oblast - Features
