    Any camera buffs out there? Need advice please!

    I am going to buy an outdoor security IP camera, but the options give me a choice of 2.8mm, 3.6mm or 6mm focus. I'm not sure which one to get, could someone explain in layman's, how the numbers relate to what I'm likely to see on the video feed.

    AliExpress vs eBay for buyer protection?

    Just started dipping a toe into buying goods from AliExpress. I've only ever had to use eBay's buyer protection once, after hundreds of purchases. The issue was resolved fairly quickly and without fuss. I'm just wondering if anyone has had to use AliExpress' buyer protection, and if yes, what...

    BBSxx throttle software parameters?

    Accidentally managed to rewrite the 'Start Voltage (x100mv)' and 'End Voltage (x100mv)' to zero, in the 'Throttle Handle' tab. Does anyone know the Bafang factory set parameters for these please?

    Bafang BBSxx throttle 'Mode' settings?

    I noticed, whilst tweaking my controller PAS settings, that the software 'Throttle Handle' page has the option to change the 'Mode' between 'Speed' and 'Current'. I don't actually use a throttle on mine, but am wondering if anyone has actually tested the bike's performance between these two...

    Tip for touching up bike scratches!

    My bike is a fairly cheap one, so it can get the odd scratch or two from general use, or just by adjusting equipment on the handlebars. The solution? I use a paint marker to touch up damaged areas, keeping rust at bay and the bike cosmetically looking good. Pentel Permanent Cellulose Paint...

    For peeps who need to correct a thread title.

    I was always under the impression, that once a thread title had been written and posted, it couldn't be changed. That's ok if you're careful with your spellings, but if like me, frustrating if you post with spelling mistakes. Anyway, for anyone who doesn't already know, there is a drop-down...

    Refreshing and bleeding hydraulic brake fluid?

    Would compulsory insurance for all electric bikes put you off?

    I know this is highly unlikely to happen, but would compulsory electric bike insurance put you off buying or owning one? http://www.devonlive.com/fear-new-insurance-rule-could-put-people-off-electric-bikes/story-30453396-detail/story.html Vive la Brexit :D
