    Just When I Thought It Was Safe To Back Outside!!

    My study consists of iMac, server and sonos. I'm selling all my old hifi / av stuff like b&w speakers, Yamaha A1 amp. Replaced with projector, screen, flat tv 65" and sonos home theatre. It's modern, neat and fine for me. Funny thing is the old speakers, amp sounded so much better, as the old...

    It takes me back to gaming in village halls with other nerds playing doom, unreal tournament and quake. i remember spending over £400 once on a graphics card (god knows what that would be now). Everyone comparing motherboards, processors etc.

    If you like tinkering macs are not for you, nor do they compare power wise with a pc similar price, whether you build or not. If you just want a better operating system :), simplicity and ease of use, get a mac.

    Works with mac no issues. I used to be a big pc windows fan, having build about 5 pc's over the years, that hobby has left me and hence i wanted a pc that was simple to use, worked and doesn't get infected as often. Hence we have all macs in this house and so far fingers crossed no issues.

    2.4 " off road tyres

    Good choice. The best tyre by far, for puncture resistance are marathons mtb, but i found they were too big a compromise vs grip etc. The second best for punter resistance are smart sams with guard, but they still puncture now and again compared with marathons.

    Definitely update it and your edge. Install Garmin express from Garmin website. Plug in your edge first, sync and it will update it. Then plug in your varia and there is an update for this too. Always keep it up to date and check every month our so as some updates have important features /...

    specialized levo battery health dropping

    Gazman, Hat off to you. I must say your much more patient than I am. I would not be happy and insist on new battery / bike. Sorry this is just me, it's a lot of money and needs to be fit for purpose, so the shop / manufacturer need to sort this out for you urgently and without you keep bringing...

    Arrrg where do I get a new battery?

    Izzy, I'm impressed with your update. Can you please give us another update once you've had time to test / recharge battery etc. As if this works well, it really will be a bargain.

    I've bought the Garmin Varia after reading reviews from here. I'm waiting delivery. The problem I have is constantly looking over my shoulder, which is in itself a bit dangerous, especially with all the potholes we have here in Kent.

    My wife bought me the Proviz jacket in silver which is a well known British brand. It was well packed on arrival and good quality. However, after less than 2 months its in the bin. I caught it ever so slightly on an overhanging bramble and to my amazement it ended up with a 4 inch rip on...
