    Focus Thron Impulse - Problem

    Seems like a reasonable explanation. As long as everything is working ok then there is nothing to worry about. Good to know.

    Focus Thron Impulse - Problem

    That looks highly suspicious to me Dominic. I just had a look on my bike and can't see anything that looks like the wire on yours. Check to see if all the functions are working. Even if everything seems ok I think you should query it with the supplier.

    Dangerous cycling conviction

    It's been a long time since I saw a policeman around here. Do they still wear those big tall cone hats?:)

    Dangerous cycling conviction

    Many years ago when my children were little my wife came down stairs to find an intruder in the kitchen. I was woken by her screaming and ran down the stairs. The intruder had run out of the house by now, I ran outside but could not see anyone. As you can imagine my wife was in a state of shock...

    I also live in a rural area which although very pleasant makes you very vulnerable (as you will know). There is only one person responsible for your safety and you see him/her in the mirror every morning.;)

    How do you get your Leg Over?

    Because I have a dodgy hip I have to do as fleck says, stand on the left of the bike and lower it down quite a lot before I can lift my leg over without to much pain. Once I'm on it's ok. Same procedure to dismount. Couldn't do this with my Ducati so have stopped riding it.

    What was wrong with the original?

    I can't even remember what "the original method of learning to ride" was like:)

    Focus Thron Impulse - Problem

    I'm not sure how water resistant the display is, there is some information available at manuals.derby-cycle.com/manuals/focus/en_focus_2013_20140131_05.pdf but I couldn't find anything about riding in heavy rain. I personally would not be riding (intentionally) in a downpour but if you are...

    Focus Thron Impulse - Problem

    No problem, it took me a while to find out what does what on this bike. I have to say for a bike costing this much you would expect a proper manual. If there is anything else I can help with please don't hesitate to ask.

    Focus Thron Impulse - Problem

    I should have actually said trip distance, as you have yours set on kms. I too have recently bought a focus thron impulse.

    The picture of the LCD you have shown is displaying tr for trip mileage.

    Safer cycling? Don't get a helmet and cross red light

    It looks to me that there is a great opportunity for a manufacturer to make a better quality (more effective) helmet for cyclists.
