For me the option of two sets of tyres wasn't happening so I had to settle on one set to last the four months of winter. Studs aren't great as they always fall out, then you are left with a patch of...

I had the original TopContact Winter tyres and preferred them to the Marathon Winters, I would try the TC Winter II tyres without hesitation. Marathon Winter tyres gave good grip in all but deep snow...

I don't see the problem with that, plenty of room, no railings, no immediate left turn and very slow moving traffic.

That doesn't surprise me, many IT graduates know very little about computing outside the software programming they studied because it was the easy/fun option. I've interviewed lots and been shocked...

The charger is one of the complaints I've heard about the iPhone5 (or 4 maybe) as it's changed and is proprietary. You might want to check before buying if carrying one charger is important to you....

You left two laying around and dropped the third, I wouldn't call that careful. I also wonder if you made it a bit easy for the pick pocket.
It takes a while to adjust to London, I had a few things...

There are differences between years but I had one of the first and most problems were minor, the only big one I had was needing to get the rear wheel rebuilt with a stronger rim. Wisper were looking...

The seat tube length isn't always a good indicator of size. I've had both the Wisper 905 and 906, they have the same 20" size but the 906 is considerably bigger. It does need a decent length seat...

Cycling can be a very cheap hobby but it depends a lot on:

How far and often you ride.
How much spare time you have to fix things.

I would class my 2008 905 as a budget bike*, it was great...

The problem there is that the 905 BB is already pretty wide and I found after changing the chainring (for another single) that the chain would often derail as the chain was being pulled towards the...

I changed the chainring on my 905 but I needed to reduce the gearing for hills, the best thing I did was to get rid of the megarange freewheel.
The only way I got the gearing I wanted was to buy a...

They are no more puncture proof than any other puncture resistant tyre and certainly not as good as MPs. The guarantee is rubbish to me as I'm not going to bother sending the tyre back for something...

The Contis tend to have micro spikes that aren't easily seen, from my experience with the Conti Winter 1s they have just as good a grip on ice as the Marathon winters. I tried the snow studs (in the...

There's not a lot of choice for freewheels and mine was 7 speed so I'm not sure what your options are. Don't make the mistake I did and buy Suntours thinking all freewheels are standard, the Suntours...

Anywhere you want really as long as the motor isn't providing power to that speed.

It happens, I've been hit from behind by a motorbike on it's side and I've had a dog jump out in front of me from behind a tree. I stayed on my feet both times but I've ended up on the floor a few...

Hi,
The chainring on the front can be changed fairly easily although I had some difficulty getting the chain to stay on after I did it. That might be because I went for a cheap chainring.
What the...

I've used a solvent to weld ABS before, not as strong as a heat weld but pretty good. Anyone thinking of trying it should look in modelling shops, another useful product from those places is...

The reviews are useful but the bloke thinks of himself as some sort of caped crusader, he needs to get a life and stop trying to wind up motorists.

I bought a Specialized helmet because it came with a Snell rating and I expected it to be well designed. Not so, the strap adjusters under the ears work loose easily leaving the helmet likely to fall...

Cycle sport has a rule for just about everything and there is probably a rule which tells them what the drivetrain has to be made of, what weight and what size. Technical advances in cycling are very...

David,
What's the likely range of the MX? They have a smaller battery but are probably more efficient so it's hard to tell if it is suitable for regular 20 mile rides without badly affecting the...

I've been chased by a dog once snapping at my ankles, I wasn't over worried as trying to take a bit out of the pedals would hurt it more than me. The worse problem is dogs running round and round in...

Looks like a great bike David, pretty much everything in my wish list. :D

In the past the big problem with these is that the Police don't have the tracking devices required making them a waste of time, now they are looking better value as they can be tracked on iPads....
