    Cube RFR Suspension Seatpost

    Looks alright that does..... I've never liked the look of the Suntour NCX and i definitely dont like the price of it..... If i needed a suss seat post, i would give one of these a go for the price.

    Giant Escape Conversion - newbie questions

    Its a quality kit and has a good rep on here from those who have it. My current front hub kit was done on the cheap, an 8fun kit that cost £425...... the Oxydrive kit is far better and i think its easily worth the extra money.

    Giant Escape Conversion - newbie questions

    Oxydrive do a rear hub motor kit that is compatible with cassette gears, which your Giant Escape has. You can have legal 250W or more powerful 350W...... comes with throttle and you can just not fit the PAS if you prefer. It also has integrated controller, which makes an easier and neater...

    Newbie about to buy an electric bike

    Personally, i wouldn't ruin a classic 35 yr old Dawes Galaxy by fitting a kit to it. I would just keep it for those occasions to ride a nice unassisted bike on the flat. You could easily buy a reasonably priced modern bike to convert, or just buy a ready built Ebike.

    The Best Mobile Telephone Ever Made for only £9.10

    First mobile phone i had was about 1993. It was a Motorola Flip, on a contract with Orange and i was paying 50p a minute peak and 30p a minute off peak for calls. Stupidly high prices for calls in those days. I had a Nokia 3310 about 1998/9..... couldn't use it now, my 3 sim will only work with...

    New Top Gear was Pants

    I thought i'd give TG another chance last night..... Well it started off quite well with the McLaren and i thought maybe, just maybe, this show is going to get better. But it was all downhill from there, just as bad as last weeks effort. They are still ripping off Jezzas lines..... 'Our tame...

    New Top Gear was Pants

    I doubt he's expecting the past huge viewing figures on somewhere like Amazon Prime.... Also i doubt he cares much anyway because A) He's not short of a bob or two, and B) If it is a fail, it'll just give him something else to take the **** out of in his newspaper columns.

    Carrera Vengeance mountain bike

    You may not have to make any mods, but you should be prepared to do them if you have to. Thats the price you pay for getting an Ebike exactly the way you want at a reduced price from a ready made one. But if these possible probs dont appeal to you, then just buy a ready made Ebike and pay the...

    Carrera Vengeance mountain bike

    I could have fitted the magnet disc on the non chainring side, there was enough room. But i think the disc is exposed on that side, also it looks far better behind the chainring so you cant see it. You often have to make modifications when fitting a kit, you wont really know until you get the...

    Carrera Vengeance mountain bike

    I have Suntour crank on my Crossfire. When i fitted the PAS i just removed the granny ring (cut it off with a grinder) to fit the magnet disc on the chainring side. Then i removed the front derailleur altogether, as with electric assistance i only ever need the large chainring.

    Kenda tyres

    Tube sealer will only stop small punctures. Easiest way to be prepared and have an easy & quick fix of punctures, is to carry a spare tube.

    Carrera Vengeance mountain bike

    Carrera are tough, reliable good bikes...... i cant see any reason not to fit a kit to the Vengeance. I fitted a kit to my Carrera Crossfire, no probs with the kit or the bike in the 3 yrs i converted it. I've only heard good things about the Oxydrive kits. I particularly like the integrated...
