    Focus jarifa 29er road tyres

    I would be interested to know if you have actually had a Shwalbe Marathon Plus in your hands to compare with what you bought. The Shwalbe is a roboust tyre with stiff side walls and a very thick puncture protection layer. They also inflate to 85psi. This means low rolling resistance and less...

    Action Camera

    I am pleased to say that my bike cam video has been used in action being taken against a driver. I was thanked profusely by all those involved (except the driver). I was told that more people need to take the time to report these acts of dangerous and illegal driving. I believe that, in time...

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Swiss Air 111 was a night flight as well. Even if everyone in civilian air control was asleep, in that part of the world, the military was not. Even if civilian radar is like phone masts, military radar is not. The world is asking, in light of these facts, "How could this plane simply vanish?".

    The lost Malaysian airplane

    Fresh memories of Swiss Air Flight 111 are stirred by this unfolding tragedy. It crashed just off the coast of Nova Scotia. It was tracked by radar and was located immediately when it went down. There was a massive debris field. What is happening and why, with todays technology and survailance...

    Beat Bikes Where Are You?

    Thanks for that. I was asked by someone who had recently ordered one online but has not received her bike nor has had any response to inquiries. They are not answering their phone when I call.

    How long should my ebike chain last?

    The indication that my range was better, with the new chain, was immediate. The performance of bike told the story when the power levels stayed in their zones much longer before dropping. With the worn chain, I was getting three round trips in and the battery would sometimes go flat a mile or...

    How long should my ebike chain last?

    Yes a longer chain for the Panasonic would be great for my BH City 700. I had to use an extra section of chain and a quick link when I replaced it. As a footnote, the old worn out chain was costing me about 5 miles of range. I'm getting my original range again. The bike was new in June and has...

    How long should my ebike chain last?

    I have just replaced the original chain on my BH City 700. In spite of religious care (and no off roading) it was just at the limit on my chain checker. I took eddiejp's advice and replaced it before I needed a cassette too. I had just under 3,000 miles on it. If I was a fair weather rider it...

    URB-E The world's most compact e-vehicle.

    I really like this new product but you raise a good argument for the Beat Bike. It does not have the range or power but for its weight, fold down size and price, you can't beat it (pardon the pun).

    Thoughts/Opinions on this bike

    I have got to agree with this choice over the BH.

    A bigger battery translates to greater range and less charging which equals out to longer battery life.

    inexpensive e-bike for 6 miles commute

    Sorry as I do not know what happened to my reply to your comment. As I wanted to say, you're welcome. Sorry I was not familiar with the two examples you quoted. I can see now that you are a hands on biker and a cheaper bike may be for you. I suggest getting test rides on both and looking into...

    inexpensive e-bike for 6 miles commute

    Well it appears that I must clarify my thoughts and words for D8veh once again. The particual bike, which I dealt with most recently, I would not reccomend for Marcin's use. Having said that, it was not a bad bike for the money. The company in question handled the replacement very well the the...

    inexpensive e-bike for 6 miles commute

    Sorry but I have never seen a Woosh bike and if it meets the needs of the original poster, feel free to reccomend it. Do not disparage my reply because I am relating personal experience and observation. The suppier of the bike I mentioned in my comment advertises on this site. The base bike used...

    inexpensive e-bike for 6 miles commute

    Inexpensive electric bikes are just that, cheap. 12 miles a day turns into 60 miles a week which turns into over 240 miles a months. You might have an electrical system that will hold up or a bike that might hold up but you won't have both. The build quality of these inexpensive ebikes is...
