Barry - I agree with you, a pannier rack would have been a nice addition but, I suppose, for the price ............ ;) Anyway, I keep thinking that one of those types that attach to the seat post might do. Of course, there might be a problem with that if you wanted to keep removing the...

Such a horrible experience for you. :eek: I had something similar happen to me a few years ago but, that time, I was on a moped and went through some traffic lights that were on green straight into the side of a boy racer who had decided to jump his red lights and thought he would get...

Such a simple, yet brilliant solution! :cool: :D

Congratulations about your heart check up - I've got my own 6-monthly one coming up next month so fingers crossed! ;) I also have a Cyclamatic from Sports HQ and, so far, I have found them to be a very helpful bunch. :)

Does it really matter what other people might think? However aggrieved and upset us e-bikers might feel about the "injustice" and "prejudice" that others may exhibit, we are hardly likely to change their minds so why bother commenting on it? It seems like such a waste of time and effort to...

Chris When you do get your e-bike funds together again, I can certainly recommend the Cyclomatic Power Plus. I got mine about a month ago and it has been a dream so far. Like you, I am about 16 stone but I am a fair bit older - now over 50. I have been getting more and more unfit for...

I meant to post a follow up to this much sooner but kept getting distracted by the sunshine and things! :D Anyway, I managed to have a better look at the problem when I got home that night and still couldn't see anything obviously wrong so I rang Sports HQ, who sold the bike to me. Tim...

Is there a hidden message there, perhaps? Lol!!! :D

After yesterday's miserable weather, I woke up this morning to see bright blue skies so I decided to ride to work instead of taking the car. I had got about 3 miles into the journey when, suddenly, I lost all traction on my pedals. They just kept going round and round with no effect...

I meant to reply to this last week to say that I received a second reply from Sports HQ to say that they had made a mistake previously and the cost for a replacement battery charger would actually be £40. :) Phew!!! :D

Just thought I would update you on the puncture saga! The Schwalbe M+ tyres arrived on Tuesday morning but I kept imagining that I would just end up with a pile of gear cogs and drive motor pieces on the garage floor so I put off the dreaded moment of trying to fit them until Thursday! :eek...

"Snakebite punctures" - it's almost worth having a puncture to learn that phrase!! :cool: Not sure about any other damage. After I found the initial two little slits, I didn't check any further.

Me again. The information that came with the bike said to keep the pressures at 65psi and I did check them before I set off to make sure they were OK. When I checked the tube after I had changed it, I found two almost identical little slits in it that were side by side and I had wondered...

Well I have received a reply already from Tim at Sports HQ so I can't fault the speed of their service. However, he quoted a price of £200 :eek: - but I am hoping that he misread my original question and has quoted for a replacement battery instead of a replacement charger. I have sent...

Thanks very much for the tips Old Timer. :) I ordered the tyres last night so they should be here this week sometime - I'll let you know how I get on. I'll start on the front whell first to give myself a bit more of a fighting chance before I try tackling the back one!! ;)
