    Ultra HD Television Sets

    I reckon curved screens are just a gimmick, something different to tempt the buyers that just have to have the latest thing....... Curved screens aren't new though ! All TV screens were once curved, although they were convex instead of concave. Then in the 80's i remember Toshiba making a big...

    Does bicycle weight really matter?

    I think a Cyclocross bike would make a good base for a lightweight road bike Ebike conversion, that could also be used for light off road. Good deal for one here....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201373372552?rmvSB=true

    new bottle battery cannot be removed from frame cage easily

    Another lift the battery out the holder before you unplug here.... The recess is too deep and awkward to do it in situ.

    Ultra HD Television Sets

    Yes, if i listen to R2 i only listen to it on FM.... Unfortunately i do like DAB only stations as well, Like BBC6 Music, Planet Rock and Absolute 80's. It really irks me that i cant have decent bitrate quality with them. Also you never know how long DAB stations will be around..... I used to...

    Ultra HD Television Sets

    Re Rover cars....... I've only owned 2 in all my years of motoring. First was a Rover SD1, which anyone would expect to be horrendously bad, as British Leyland were a joke when it was made. But it was actually a great car, great to drive and totally reliable for the 4 or so years i had it. It...

    Ultra HD Television Sets

    TV's seem to be becoming like computers...... if its on the shop shelf its almost obsolete. First they were called HD ready and everyone was conned because they were only 720p. Then we bought full HD 1080p sets, only to find out Freeview HD wasn't included. Now we have Freeview HD 1080p sets...

    Does bicycle weight really matter?

    Nice one, sounds like it'll be a pretty lightweight road ebike conversion. Look forward to seeing it.

    Well thats something interestingly different....... just keep an eye out for the potholes, even the really small ones.

    Does bicycle weight really matter?

    Yeah you're probably right...... but the trouble is I'm one of those people that will look at the bike its based on, what price i can get that bike searching the net (not rrp prices) then i'll see how much has been put on top for the Ekit. The Cytronex are just too much of a mark up on top of...

    Does bicycle weight really matter?

    I totally get the Cytronex bikes and i took a good look at them a while back when i was looking for a lightweight road ebike...... but i ended up discounting them because i thought they were overpriced for what they were.

    Bar Ends

    Finally got these bar end grips and fitted them this weekend, spose to come from UK but they were actually posted from Gibraltar...... For the cheap price i'm pretty happy with them. They're comfortable and secure on the bars, they dont slip or spin on the bars as they're clamped with allen...

    Does bicycle weight really matter?

    Its the single speed gearing i dont get on the Coboc, what purpose does that serve ?..... Apart from being crap up hills and spinning out at speed ! Like the Hipsters who buy SS and fixies......I have the impression that people who buy single speed and fixies, do so because they're attracted to...

    Crashed on Her maiden ride

    At least you weren't hurt bad, as for the bikes...... The first scratch always cuts the deepest...... you can stop worrying about keeping it pristine now.

    Is global warming the con of the century?

    Is global warming the con of the century?

    I find it very hard to accept that we are not fully, or at least in a big part responsible for global warming, climate change, call it what you will. The burning of fossil fuels, all the crap and emissions that has gone into our atmosphere, the burying of waste and the vast deforestation simply...

    First Recorded Hoverboard Death.

    Terrible that this young lad has lost his life..... No doubt there will be calls to ban these boards now. But teenagers have always done stupid reckless things, at times or in places that they shouldn't, that have endangered themselves. Thinking you're invincible is part of being young. Some of...

    Freego raptor or another ...advice pls

    It would be a no brainer to me to choose the Karoo over the Raptor....... The Raptor has too small a battery and i wouldn't want to go near any hills with a single speed. I think the Karoo looks better as well..... but thats subjective.

    Difficulties getting an e-car, Part 2

    I expect the £9K will be the cost of the monthly payments over the 3 yr PCP contract and then there will be a big balloon payment at the end if you want to keep the car..... Or you can just hand it back as if you're leasing it, but then you'll likely get extra charges for any dings & scrapes the...

    Consideration For Other Road Users

    Yes, its a perfect storm on the horizon..... But i've no doubt the gov has a cunning plan to kill most of em off...... along with the sick, disabled and anyone else that has the audacity to be a burden on society.
