Seat Post (Pin) NOT Seat Tube Sorry Flecc. You have misdirected yourself, I think, due to terminology, and syntax. Peter Qote from Mygrumpy's post: the seat tube broke.so i phoned 50 cycle and told them about it.they emaild me back and asked for a picture,so i sent them one,they emaild...

Happy relationship Is there something, taking all the arguments into consideration, that would suggest that eZee Cycles and 50 Cycles are not the best of 'bed fellows' at this time. I was mildly surprised that 50 Cycles had signed 'another' exclusive deal with Kalkhoff. Perhaps eZee were not...

Two Sorts Of Truth Then Why then are NiMH in such short supply (and now it seems Lithium too - see 50 cycles web site) if eZee (Mr Ching) can supply them if ordered (Quote: NiMH I can supply as much as you like"). There's a contradiction here somewhere. Peter

Lead Time Mr. Ching tells us that there is a lead time from placing the order to delivery at Felixstowe of about 14 weeks. So, are 50 Cycles ordering them only as and when they have a firm order from a customer? Have they got a cash crisis or something of that nature so that they are unable...

Fun or just Furious I am all for having fun - why does it have to be so fast and furious? Certainly it should not be at the expense of others who are enjoying the same amenity. Maybe there will be better enforcement of the code one day. I hope aqs has given up motoring in favour of his...

Touring or Shopping? Hello Tiberius: My preference became entrenched when I used to tour over a period of weeks. My preference is for panniers on the side of the carrier located by good clips over the top rail and secured at the bottom by an elasticated cord. It is essential to be able to...

Sorry Harry. I wondered whether or not you had seen the "foul" posting judging by you comment. I withdraw any criticism of you either in fact or implied, unreservedly. What you missed, by the way, was the ordinarily polite person's reaction to it when reading it - it was pure 'gutter...

Apologists I'm sorry Harry, but I cannot see any justification for the use of such foul language, even if provoked. Face-to-face or tongue in cheek makes no difference- - it is abhorrent. The Forum rules EXPRESSLY forbid this even by innuendo, asterisks or smilies (although I cannot see...

Foul! I cannot bring myself to quote what I am referring to ......... the posting by "aqs" I consider myself to be fairly (I mean even handed) tolerant and worldly but I found his posting truly offensive. I note that at this moment no apology has been posted by him. He did not disclose...

Lithium Batteries - eZee Cyles I see that the following information is posted on the 50 Cycles website. "37V 10Ah Lithium battery pack fits all eZee NiMH models £250 (£300 with charger) Currently out of stock due to high demand" Is this the rush to replace prematurely exhausted...

Chain Tensioner? Hello Bob: Is this what you need? hit the link to SJS Cycles (there may well be other suppliers): Search Results You may have to enter "Chain Tensioners" in the search box under "Transmissions". I think your chain will be 3/32 inch. Cycle Chains and their pitch have...

Agattu review extraordinaire Hello Flecc: What a brilliant review. It gives a new meaning to 'comprehensive'. Is there any feature that you did not touch upon and expose in lucid terms. Ultimately, I was disappointed. The more I read, the more it seemed the bike for me and my Alpine...

Ceiling racks Do you believe Cycle Helmets are a good thing? You would be better so to do! Peter

What joy! TonyP and Django: What joy!! You are perfectly placed with a wonderful excuse. You'll need two batteries but you'll have one for each bike to tote around between Algarve and UK. You'll only need one charger to go where you go. On the way down you could take the "Pilgrim's Way"...

I admire consistency. Yes I agree: If you buy as a Private person from a seller who is a Private person, then VAT will not become identifiable in the asking price. But that is what I was saying: It is only traders who must declare the presence of VAT in a deal and identify it by one of the...

VAT loses its identity in the sale of second hand goods between vendor and purchaser. Registered Traders in second hand goods do not account for a proportion of the full Selling Price (@ 17.5%) e.g. on used cars and used electric bicycles to HMRC. The amount of VAT they must pay over: 1...

Mysterious VAT I have, on the rare occasion that I have sold something (used), have had deployed against me the fact that I am not registered for VAT purposes and therefore cannot charge it. We must substitute "cannot identify" it or "need not account for it to HMRC". The price (value) is...

Ezee Torq and Li-ion (Phylion) The most I got out of my 10 Ah battery was 30 Miles (50Km). Very Flat terrain for 24 miles, then a 2 mile hill (about 7%)and 1 mile flat. The battery was exhausted when I reached the flat again after 30 miles. My profile is 78 years: many medical issues:88...

Morecombe and Mozart Reminds me, Flecc, of the amusing response by Eric Morecombe in the skit with Andre Previn when asked "who wrote that piece of music?". His reply: "Mozart! But not necessarily in that order", Anon

Multispeed (Freewheels) on geared hubs. I have not seen the 'rear end' of a Kalkhoff Agattu but might it be possible to fit a double sprocket and a derailleur changer to raise the top speed to something more 'lively' , without sacrificing the climbing ability - strictly for use on flat...
