FAQ

Why choose a Pashley cycle?

Pashley bicycles and tricycles are manufactured by skilled craftsmen, who use traditional methods to create work of the highest standard. Our designs focus on comfort, strength and durability; it is not in our ethos to produce fragile frames or specify complex, delicate components unnecessarily. We also believe that cycles should be a pleasure to use, and practical enough to integrate smoothly with everyday life. A Pashley cycle allows its rider to sit up comfortably, enjoying the view while any bags or shopping are carried safely and easily. In addition, Pashley is committed to UK manufacture and all the benefits this brings to customers, suppliers and dealers, and to our own employees.

Why do Pashley make bicycle frames from steel?

Although steel is sometimes regarded as ‘old-fashioned’, it is actually an excellent material for building bicycle frames. High tensile steels have far greater ultimate strength and stiffness values than aluminium alloy or titanium alloy; in fact, some modern steels have higher strength-to-weight ratios than aluminium and titanium. Steel responds well in fatigue conditions, and is able to withstand the repeated stress typically placed on a bicycle frame much more effectively than aluminium. If scratched or subject to minor impacts, steel is also fairly ‘forgiving’, in contrast to highly notch-sensitive carbon-fibre materials, which are more likely to fail following minor damage. Used intelligently, steel can be used to build great frames for all cycling disciplines. Specifically, a steel cycle frame can impart a better ‘feel’ and ride comfort than its aluminium equivalent.

Why do Pashley use hub gears for many of their cycles?

Hub gears may seem unusual in a world dominated by derailleur gears, but it is actually a very efficient system with a number of unique benefits. Unlike derailleurs (where the gear sprockets are exposed), all the mechanisms of hub gears are enclosed in a weather-resistant alloy shell, ensuring consistent reliability in all conditions. This also means that the gearing is not affected by the mud and grime thrown up from the road, which in turn means less maintenance is required than with an external derailleur system that can get clogged up over time. In addition, one little-known benefit of hub gears is the ability to change gear without pedalling. For instance, you can change into a lower gear whilst sat at a red light, without worrying about damaging the gears or having your chain come off. Hub gears are therefore ideal for town and country riding, allowing you to tackle all manner of terrain.
