    Need new battery

    I ordered one from Germany that I found, seems like a decent firm with good reviews. However, I went out on the bike this morning just using the rear hub and that battery is well on it`s way out as well so the chap you are referring to could maybe refurbish the original? the bike is the...

    Need new battery

    I have a rear wheel hub and it is fine. After I had a heart attack and to assist me I fitted a front wheel hub as well (only for riding off road tracks obviously) it makes all the difference being as I also have worn out knees. I only use the front hub when I struggle on uphill sections but that...

    help getting reasonable battery

    Yeh! at present, new cooker, work to be done on my van and the central heating guy is due in the morning to have a listen to a boiler problem and since the last heart attack I`ve hung up my tools.

    help getting reasonable battery

    Have any of you people ever considered a single wheel trailer with 3 x 12v car batteries? I know that SLA batteries can fall short of the Amh required but car batteries should be OK???

    sj4000 video cam

    I just treated myself to an sj4000 video cam. I`ve been into photography for most of my adult life so am not easily pleased with IQ from most cams. I must say that I am impressed with the video performance on the bike and in the car. OK, it`s not anything like my Canon 5dmk3 as far as video goes...

    Was EddieO right?

    I remember when I first joined, my first bike was a powertrek dynamo, as I remember eddie told me that I had been sold a pup and it was rubbish and then some time down the road the guy that started oxygen bikes said that he had had one and basically (as I remember) he fashioned his bike range on...
