Lack of ventilation and no peak would put me off. :(

The Bullet guard. After the other nights complete and utter drenching in mud and water, and returning with a Camelbak that could no longer be recognized, I figured that I had best sort my loathing for mudguards out, and finish the Macina Lycan specific guard out. Tomorrow will see it's first...

Steve, It doesn't really sound as though trying my bike would benefit you. The current gearing would have you spinning out at approx. 25mph max, and I have swapped out for some quite aggressive tyres. If you are down this way, I'd happily chat through the motor and gearing options with you...

Steve, in the scheme of things, you aren't so far away from either myself or http://londonelectricbike.com/. You are more than welcome to pop down my way and try my Bosch crank drive bike out if you wanted, or probably simpler and better, pop along to LBC and try a few bikes out.

Not what you want to be faced with at 10.00pm after a very muddy and very wet night ride. The speed that the bike ploughed through the very fast and deep muddy descents tonight was amazing, and the tyres seem to stick like glue in all terrain, from very deep mud, very boggy grass, roots...

I've now grown to love my clipless set up, although I've ended up on my backside on many occasion when using them. I've always associated blame towards the pedal set up, but more recently I've been working on the notion that some of the falls or potential falls, can be accredited to myself and a...

Nice looking bike. ;) Good to see that you have christened it with a bit of mud. :) I'm going to look forward reading about your excursions on it.

The best tip that I can offer you, is to slaken the release tension from them until you get used to using them.

:D It stems from my motorcycle circuit racing days.

I just hope that the term "road use" doesn't extend to bridleways. If they are permitted on public bridleways, it will spell the end of the organised rides that I so enjoy, and that others are now also starting to take part in, and that I have been trying so hard to promote. E-mtb's are already...

There you go awol, you have taught me something new. :) I hadn't heard of servisol 10. Thanks. :) I also learnt the hard way in respect of washing grease out of bearings. It's a very common mistake to make, which isn't helped by people telling you to use products such as wd40 and GT85 in those...

Currently 28 views, with no replies. :( Bigclick, the first thing that you need to do is get the bike dirty! ;) After a ride, I never ever leave the cleaning until the next day, even if I'm dirtier and wetter than the bike, and it's late at night. Assuming that you have access to a hose pipe...

The crud catcher is just an old Topeak front mudguard that was laying around. I'm going to be investigating having a small batch run of custom mudguards made at some stage, and will keep all updated about it. Other than the mucknutz front guard, I've yet to find a set that tick all of boxes...

Speaking of Beba, I'd love an explanation of this. My van insurance policy renewal arrived today. The van is insured fully comp, £250.00 excess, van value 12.5K, renewal cost £232.78 This thread prompted me to look at the Beba website, and insurance caught my eye. Bike value as near to as...

In a bizarre way I'm looking forward to this one. To add to the stealth look, you get hold of another seat and try to hide the battery within it's base.

If you could do the impossible and get it to stay on the chain, graphite powder would be the best thing to use.

Looks like ACF50

Or just bin it and use a mobile phone. Anyway, where are the photos of the new toy? :)

Sitting in my Camelbak. ;)

It's been a productive evening. :) I've come up with and made a tool that every Bosch performance motor owner should own, irrelevant of bike manufacturer. It's going to be called, the "indispensable tool" and the next stage is to look into production costs for it. I also came up with a second...
