    cycle computer apps?

    I'm a little worried about the mount but as my phone isn't popular finding a good mount isn't happening. Going to get one of them loop things so if the mount fails it should dangle from my handlebars on something long enough for me to pull over. Have done 3 short journeys with the Strava app on...

    cycle computer apps?

    Think I will give them a go. I'm more interested in the post ride data, maybe a speed and elevation lines and distances on a map. I city cycle around London and so Google maps guess of distances is nice but an exact x miles would be an improvement. I haven't converted my bike to electric yet as...

    cycle computer apps?

    Walking about the shops today and noticed a cheapo £10 cycle computer. Not something I have looked at in years so I was surprised to see so many functions. Back in work and I look online for some others and reviews then I stumble across a huge number of apps to track/store/analyse routes taken...

    Brompton front hook problem

    One of these? Brompton Front Axle Hook M-Type | Evans Cycles I don't have a brompton but my guess would be the nylon side has worn so is working loose. Be careful not to overtighten if you get a replacement as the nylon will be the weakest thing so gives first.

    Does this seem like a good idea?

    But then has some lead battery bag to go on your pannier and then is that brake levers I see in that bag? I would want to test ride before I was convinced.

    Yet Another London Cyclist Death Today

    You can personally shout at me until you are blue in the face for me standing still at a green light so long as you don't hit me with a truck or a bus. Went on a 20 mile bike ride today out from streatham to croydon almost and along to hayes. Found the roads a little more narrow in places so...

    Yet Another London Cyclist Death Today

    I have been doing a steady 15-20 miles a night around london this week(new wheels and sun yay), just about to head out to do another 20 or so today. This next clip might disturb you but it is how I view 95% of other cyclists on the road, it took me just a few seconds to find on youtube. Some are...

    Yet Another London Cyclist Death Today

    Maybe more effective. Amazon.co.uk: high vis gloves I personally wouldn't bet on any motorist seeing a bike light size indicator and telling which direction it is from any distance. To give a rough idea you are looking at a light tha isn't as wide as a single numberplate letter and is half as...

    Yet Another London Cyclist Death Today

    If you cycle the route daily then you are cycling the wrong route. Google maps for at most 20 minutes and you can have a dozen other routes that avoid your "favourite" junctions. I marked out 2 I'm not a huge fan of on the cycle from waterloo to camden town, the lower currently has roadworks so...

    Wanted - ebike conversion kit/bits

    So I think I have come to a decision. I don't really mind 2nd hand so long as it is in good condition and looking at the motor reviews and info dotted about they are good for many more miles than some will do. Maybe you got a conversion kit and never used it or upgraded. Anyway I am looking for...

    Cheap Chinese vs Cheapish Conversion?

    Ok, having had a measure of that space, it also is 3 inches between the 2 side bars that make up that middle bar. Considering a pannier front wheel kit now, less battery building and I'm really not sure I can fit much/any battery in that space. edit - oh and the handlebars are 29...
