Always pump tyres with slime in the inner tube with the valve at the 9 - 12 o clock position. The slime pools at the bottom of the tyre and can block the valve. If you block presta valves you can't remove the valve.
Hi Rose,
I have half a dozen pumps at the moment and the only one I'd recommend is Topeak. They're worth it. Your husbands right. The Aldi track pump and mini pump I bought are a tight fit and somehow fail to push much air into the tyre. Also one of the feet broke off the Aldi track pump...
How about this:
E-Bikes are Cheetahs...
Edit: "The cheetah is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus,"
Yes, I thought that was good - especially being on a single speed. Just get on , cycle and enjoy the ride.
"Cannondale synapse looking like the Torq." That's just the sort of thing my wife would say. Vive la difference.:D
I feel I'm missing something here. Why would you buy electric when you could have just as much fun with an infernal combustion engine at a fraction of the cost.:confused:
That makes sense Patrick. I must say that with a claimed 100MPG the E-Moped/E-Scooter doesn't offer much for the money.
I didn't realise mopeds didn't need pedals. Bit of a daft name now.
Stunning looking Scooter. Superb design.:cool:
I'd never buy one though even if they had a range of 200 miles. What would I do with my restless legs and the extra calories?
It's a tricky one this. I used to have my normal bikes covered by paying an additional small sum to my co-op home contents insurance. The policy lapsed and when I tried to renew it they said they did not offer the bike option anymore but that it was covered by the Unspecified Personal...
I'm of a similar mind but I remember having all sorts of problems getting my Smart car insured years ago even though it was full UK spec. They just wouldn't be told because it wasn't on the computer..:)
Good review Straylight. Not sure if it's gone into the review section but certainly it should be added to the others. BTW I think posting reviews in this section is a good idea anyway since far more people get to see it.
I totally agree with your conclusion about e-bikes. The payback is...
Hi OneWay
I can't make much sense of that Korean WEB page but the system looks rather similar to the American Gruber assist:
Gruber Antrieb - Gruber Assist - Fahrradantriebe » Spot GRUBER Assist
The Gruber is rather expensive and doesn't provide much power. Neat idea though.
Hi...
