"long range,low weight, hill climber with an everlasting battery all for a pittance!" 1 out 5 should be acheivable (and it's not the battery or the pittance..):D Yes I recommend a trip to Presteigne as well if you make it. Many people here seem to have had their bike delivered boxed up...

Enjoyable Yes. Environmental Yes. Nor should you - I believe your cars are relatively modest anyway and therefore relatively less damaging to the environment. The use of the Bikes for local journeys is also less damaging since much of the environmental damage appears to be done using cars for...

True, but the 28 Reasons to Bike is western (US). I'm sure the rest of the world is itching to "catch up". I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't want to be seen dead on a bicycle beause it implies they can't afford an expensive vehicle. PS Before anyone says it I wouldn't want to be seen dead on...

Very nice looking bike. I especially like the rack and battery arrangement.

An assumption I think many people still, sadly, make unless you're kitted out in lycra and riding a Bianchi or similar expensive looking road bike. I recently cycled to work and had 3 cars on the drive to choose from. OK one was a hire car awaiting pickup and one was in serious urgent need of...

Yes agreed, I haven't changed a set of brake pads for at least 10 years. I even had my bike serviced at the LBS a couple of weeks ago. I have been muddling through some maintenance jobs myself as time allows. Puncture repair, Inner tube replacement, chain cleaning, and spoke adjustment. I...

Thanks Flecc. Sounds interesting.

Yet another hazard identified with wearing a helmet. Unbeelievable..

Yes joking aside seconded.. Also I thought the white Wisper as a police cycle really looked :cool: . Best one I've seen yet. Black for the bad guys and white for the good guys. Am I allowed to say that? :confused: AHH who cares.

Best email Mark at Cytronex and tell him exactly what's broken. Good luck. mark@no-hills.com Edit. Just had a look at mine and see what you mean. Has it damaged or bent underneath the brake lever or is it just the connector. Either way best check with Mark. Maybe send a photo if you can.

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand I'd like to try one and on the other it's barking mad.

arghh the old cheapo crappy pump issue. My pet hate to. Never thought of that...

You should be able to get a removal tool from any auto parts store or halfords rather than buying more slime. You could get a new valve as well in case the old ones faulty (save cleaning it out). If it came with your bike maybe wisper could send you a replacement. PS. Slime recommend...

Was it a pre treated slime tube with a presta valve you put in yourself. The presta valves are the thin ones with the locking nut on top. The schrader valves are like car tyre ones. Not sure about the woods but I think Wisper used to put those in. The next faq was "What is a valve core...

Apparently yes: Off the Slime web site: "I've installed SLiME into my tire and now my valve is clogged. What do I do? We recommend rotating the tire so the valve is up at the 10 and 2 o'clock position. Then slowly deflate the tire and remove the valve core using a valve core remover...

Das war sehr lustig. Autsch!

Those were probably the steel framed, fixed gear, messenger bag and "one less car" sticker guys. E-bikers and rioting sounds just wrong :D No wonder they got there first. I've seen the video.

Apologies for resurrecting this thread. If anyones interested in getting rid of scuffs and scratches on their prized possesssion I tried some T-Cut Colour Fast Scratch Remover - Black - @ £7.49 from Halfords. It removes surface scratches, blemishes and adds colour It's not for perfectionists...

No, definateley not nerdy. The average age is way too high..

I was thinking along the same lines today on a long and boring motorway journey. The key is this "cheating" thing. To be called a cheat in this case means that someone thinks that you're probably engaged in competition with them and not disclosing that you have an unfair advantage - aka an...
