We (ie, myself, @matiz , and various reviewers) all know that the Subway E is the best considered, best value E bike available today. On top of that, for all the faults of certain older models, Carrera E bikes are very widespread. Last year Halfords were proudly boasting that they sold more...

Just ordered the new updated SubwayE, Its uphill in every direction out of town so I've finally give in and opted for a bit of help it seems ok for the price £1099, hydraulic discs and 60nm , battery size is fine for what I need and Halfords is only round the corner of there's any problems...

Not posted here before so i hope this thread is in the right section. A mate wants to ride the Hardnott pass next year . The present drive on his Carrera is the factory fitted compact double chainset & 9 sp cassette . All the parts on the drive are shot. ie Chain, cassette, sealed bottom bracket...

Hi thinking of getting a ebike as have knee problem. Any one used the gtech sport ebike if so any good. Other option is halford carrera vengeance. Or carrera subway

Having got fed up with the poltergeist that keeps changing the gears at the freewheel into two harder gears down as soon as I changed to an easier gear on my Carrera Zelos (Turbo Trainer) bike at the first sign of the roads of Watopia going uphill, so I decided to perform an exorcism on it...

Hi all what are you thoughts on a Carrera Vulcan. I know it’s not top of the range but for 300 any good.

I’m toying with buying an electric bike ,mainly for commuting,obv Iv cycled before so not new to this but I just find I’m not up to hills and stuff now , still got a cube peloton and I was out on it yesterday and today (my daily exercise done a wee loop only about 2 mile but mostly uphill )...

Hi, I was looking for a gravel bike with drop bars, something with a low gear (34/34) and able to use at least 28mm tyres, if not 32mm for use as a general all rounder. Ive been offered a used Carrera subway 1, which may be too good an offer to miss. The Subway 1, seems to have 27.5x1.95...

Hi , I wonder if anyone has any experience of the Carrera Intercity Folding Bike as sold by Halfords. I would like first hand experience , pros and cons and is it easy to carry on a train ? Thanks !

This is my son's 'winter' commuter. That he isn't using for commuting because he's racing / training and won't commute on those days. Basically it's done under 200 miles and is exactly as per original spec except for Widget mudguards being fitted. Not used off-road as he only rides the...

Hi friends planning to buy this one and change the handle bars to straight handle bars. Any one already uses this bike? Will appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance

I have an old ie V-brakes model and I'd like to fit some mudguards that properly cover both wheels as opposed to the mtb type that would appear to offer very little protection. Any pointers? Thanks, Steve

Found this whilst looking for something else . Never been stamped so not tied to a bike . If anyone wants it let me know and I can post it onwards .

I have a Carrera Crossfire 2 and wifey wants one also. Just looked at Halfords website and the Crossfire 1 is £284 whereas the later 2 model is £260. I would have thought it should be the other way around.

For a short while, it said £180, down from £300, thus saving £120. Today I checked the site and it says it's £180, down from £210, thus saving £30. I never went into this bike thinking it was ever a £300 bike. Is this a bit like the never-ending sofa sales which have 50-60% off all throughout...

Just picked up this very tidy and original Carrera which as some on here will know I have a bit of a soft spot for. With a great retro splatter paint finish on Reynolds 501 tubing . And Shimano exage 300 ex running gear . . Just needs some new tyres and a tweak on the rear spokes .

Well, I was thinking about it and I'd booked a test ride but tonight I thought I'd fill in the C2W bumpf in the expectation that it'd be a week or so before it was approved when, to my surprise, it was approved immediately! A wee shufti at the Halfords website and there was one available for...

Have been looking for a cheap 2ndhand road bike to use on the turbo trainer as I don't want to mess up my good bike a giant contend . Question is would any of you buy this carrera just to use on the trainer ? Looking at the gear leavers where are they .Where do u change gear on this thing ...

Hu guys, Thanks to the advice from the bro's in the buying/selling section i have taken the plunge on the carrera parva from halfords. I'm 31 years old, 5foot 4" and weigh 70kg with 50% of that coming from my belly lol. Last 4 years doing night shift as a taxi driver and stuffing myself with...

Hey everyone, I'm eyeing up this bike which on the face of things seems a good deal for the price. I live in Bristol which is far from a flat city so one of my main concerns is weight. This sounds to be around 14kg, do you think that will be ok for tackling up-hill commutes? My other question...

Just thought I'd post something without "Brompton" in the subject. 20% discount Halfords on-line, finding them in-store so I can use my cycling UK discount is another matter. Any riders of this here?

I am reluctantly offering for sale my Carlton Carrera, frame No WG 6000986. This leads me to believe the bike was built in Worksop & dates back to 1986. I would describe it as being in reasonably good condition and I believe it is still fitted with many original parts. I acquired the bike last...
