    Bosch Dongle...a delayed initial finding from Autopsy

    Blowing off the Dust! Its been a while since Rob F sent me his failed Dongle to play with.

    How to keep my feet dry?

    Thanks to everyone who has replied so far( even if the capitals where a bit INTIMIDATING !) I am still keen to hear how people get on with overshoes, gaiters etc. I am going to try spraying my Keen 'approach shoes' ( chunky outdoor trainer things) and then try with my gaiters to see if that...

    How to keep my feet dry?

    I have stocked up a a variety of useful kit for the winter at various discount levels but the one thing I can't seem to do in any satisfactory manner is to keep my feet warm and dry in the torrential downpours we have here in Cumbria ( most days at the moment it seems!) I have considered some...

    Kudos Arriba 25MPH ;-)

    keep up grandpa! just a little more help needed? Some posters here have mentioned the need to upgrade brakes etc in order to cope with the speeds in excess of 15 miles per hour. however most people will regularly overhaul the 15 mph limit just by the dint of the pedals on the flat!.

    AVE SH5 review after nearly 2 months

    See. Now that's the sort of spirit I repeatedly find here on this site and from electrifying in particular in my case.:D It completely opposite to the feeling you get when some nameless oink decides to help themselves to part of your bike. It fair restores your faith in human nature. ( If I'm...

    AVE SH5 review after nearly 2 months

    Perhaps a bit too snug! they took ages to fit without rubbing. There is a wider version the I should have gone for I think but I mistook the size of the mudguard to be the size of the wheel they fitted!:rolleyes: still as you can see from the photos the bike stays clean and so do I so worth the...
