No, forget the bike. I could do with the measurement from centre of hub of Flux S to top of right leg on Flux S.

Got ya. Whatever it is your bike will fit.
The derailleur on my bike is very long but there’s plenty of room for it. Will measure in the morning.

Forgot to bring the fun and games to conclusion. Halfords have been very good and resolved the issue. They have replaced my Flux with a Flux S at no charge. Took a bit of time and hassle but I can't argue with the end result.

I have also just bought a set of their Advanced tool chests and an advanced 200 piece socket set from them as well. While I was there they sorted me out with a Trade Card so all is well that ends well.

That is a result. I paid £50 more in the end for the S, so still can't complain.

Once you get it all set up it's good fun. Albeit knackering!

Am impressed with Halfords for doing that. Obviously a store manager who could tell it was worth their while to generate some customer goodwill, and to take the longer term view...

I look forward to seeing you both in Zwift - I’ve just done an hour this morning cycling around London....

Indeed....good to see Halfords doing the right thing. It was more the store staff though as customer services didn't deal with the issue very well or to the end.

I can't fault the store staff at all really from start to finish. I am sure they are over worked and underpaid for what they have to deal with.

Just spent a couple of hours dealing with BT for my new FTTP line as Openreach are idiots! My next drama and chapter of grief! I'll start a new thread for that one!!

I concur regarding the store staff, they were spot on, and gave me the money off without me even asking!

One thing I will warn you about Zwift though Dean. Don't do an FPT test until you are proper fit. They are an absolute killer!

:D . The trick is to do one straight away then you see your improvement. im not going to lie, they don't get any easier, you just push more watts and still come off the bike looking for the nearest bucket to bury your head in.:p

I only did 8 out of the 10 on the 45 minute one.

The floor of the garage looked like someone had thrown a bucket of water over it!

:eek:

Surely that's rather the point. Like a beep test, they are *always* a killer?

When I finished. But as I said. I couldn't complete the 365watts for 2 minutes or the 275 watts for three minutes ones.

After my ride last night it went up to 205.
