    ebike battery back packs

    I don't use the bladder, just the bag itself. I can imagine that it is pretty uncomfortable with both.

    ebike battery back packs

    Here is an example of one that is currently on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Army-Issue-Camelbak-Individual-Hydration-System-Camouflage-Pattern/333323239502?hash=item4d9b9d004e:g:fAQAAOSw~FJddP4-

    ebike battery back packs

    Ex army Camelbak hydration back packs make a brilliant battery carrying option. The Bosch battery pack as an example fits in perfectly, and being a military spec back pack, it is far sturdier constructed that the civilian variation. I have just bought a new old stock one Ebay for £8.00 including...

    Sqeaking brakes

    Two further disadvantages of rim brakes, is wear to the wheel rim, and in the case of hopefully now extinct chrome rims, no stopping ability at all in wet conditions.

    Introducing the new Woosh Rambla

    Looks very good. One observation is that it would be good to see it fitted with an adjustable handlebar stem. edit.. With the picture enlarged, It looks as though you might have already thought about it.

    Sqeaking brakes

    Mike, sorry that what should have been such a simple to sort out problem, has been so greatly extended into a white noise debate. I switched off within the space of the first page, so what is said below might have already been stated. Nealh has summed things up pretty well when talking about...

    Looking at whisper and volt

    Foam grips and or some form of suspension seat post also take the sting out.

    The development of the brand new 2020 Wispers... in Pictures!

    Sadly, utility bikes seem to be very underrated in the UK when compared with other European countries. Hopefully that will change, especially with bikes that provide road comfort and light off road use. Georgehenry being a very good example of end user. The option of hub drive is also a...

    ASIAN HORNET ALERT.

    Back to being chilled out again, and letting us sit amongst them. I must admit that I would love to be able to paint the woodwork of the house sometime soon, and wash the cladding down, but can't see that one happening any time soon. The second photo shows the top corner of the door, and just...

    Bosch CX eMTB mode

    I fitted it my self. A dealer kindly sent me one to try. I loved the simplicity of use and found it to be very intuitive when compared with say Nyon, but have removed it now, as I hate having a cluttered handlebar set up, and the positioning of the Kiox display meant that I then required an...

    ASIAN HORNET ALERT.

    Up until about 11.00pm yesterday, I had thought that they had become chilled out again. Over the years, I have been stung by wasps, bees and bumble bees, broken bones, worn down my ankle bone in a motorcycle crash, had the usual tooth pain etc, but none of that compared to being stung last...

    Oxygen e-bike is the best bike on GBP 1,500.00 range?

    Certainly a smart looking bike, and good to see the switch to hydraulic brakes.

    ASIAN HORNET ALERT.

    Nealh a quick question for you. As you know we have had a bees nest by our patio door for a good four years and so, and have always sat quite comfortably in amongst them, as they have always been super friendly. For some odd reason in the last two weeks that has changed, and they are becoming...

    It feels like ages since I have been out on the eMTB.

    Bosch CX eMTB mode

    I hated the mode when first released, as for my use it proved too aggressive when pulling away from a start on slippery hill climbs. It transpired that there was a glitch with it, and once sorted the system became fine to use. I have tried it all kinds of conditions, and found it particularly...

    A random thread for things too unimportant for their own thread...

    Don't worry Fat Rat, I have really been giving them a very hard time, and have forced some changes and admittance of legal rights. It is one of the reasons that I haven't been on here so much of late, as it is taking up a fair bit of my time.

    Wisper eMTB sneak preview

    Marketing is certainly an odd and hard one to conquer. Just an example. A while back we swapped over our winter tyres for summer tyres, and bought Alliance. The friend that owns the tyre place where I got them from, said that customers come in and push them aside in favour of Yokohama, despite...
