    Does anyone ride in the rain because they have to?

    Hi Erik Well I am not prepared to spend that amount of money, lol! Have spent a fortune already! :eek: I bought mine from Halfords as an all in pack some 3 years ago and they have done okay but are huge on me and need to roll up the legs, lol! They have that breathable mesh inside and I...

    Does anyone ride in the rain because they have to?

    Does anyone ride in the rain because they have to?

    Hi Guys I woke up this morning and thought oh here we go again as it was torrential rain and just kind of had to get on with it and ended up at work like a drowned rat but soon dried off within an hour and reapplied the makeup, lol But then again at 5 it was chucking it down and it was here we...

    Torq hill-climbing problem?

    Hi Dufus Have you not considered the Wisper SE then? It certainly doesn't come with soft furnishings :D Well apart from the very nicely sprung front forks. It also copes with hills okay but I wouldn't consider it a great hill climber although does get me up two very steep one's on my journey...

    Wisper Clone on eBay

    Eeeerm, I didn't think anywhere used Asbestos anymore? My son is an asbestos surveyor (Not a removal man) He has had to go through many exams to get where he is and I worry because he will run out of work, but he assures me he won't :D I had asbestos in my house that I was not aware of, in my...

    Hi ! And is there a tour de Presteign this year?

    I agree there should be more events as I am unable to get to this event myself due to travel and I would love to :( Bring them on! But I guess it may be costly to organise and the organisers would have to have 100% faith in this form of transport taking off with costs, participants etc etc...

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    Good idea John I will use all the ideas and see how cheap they can be posted for? Well it may be interesting? Mind you I normally post recorded even abroad on certain items but I believe 1st class will provide you with a tracking number anyway? Mandy :D

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    Hi John I agree with cash on collection but could be somewhat restricted with buyers but am prepared to let them go cheaply for someone who wants them. I am a bugger for P + P and will only charge the cost almost exactly as have been ripped off on ebay. I have made more money on ebay selling...

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    Thanks Flecc That does sound like a great idea and I have a storage unit and supplier of packing materials just a couple of minutes away on the bike. I will check it out and get them ready for posting and have them weighed before I sell them. If it is too much I guess I could approach a local...

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    postage In fact any ideas on how I can keep the postage down? My tyres came in a huge box which I felt was unneccessary really considering the volume. They are not foldable tyres I guess so are difficult from a P + P view. I should be a dab hand at packing as I sell on ebay from time to time...

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    Hi John I have had just the one which was a bummer and didn't really like pushing the bike a third of the way to work and it's just a good job I leave early :) Like most women I am deciding between two sets of tyres at the mo (bit like shoes :D ) and probably will take me an age until I get...

    I Can Hardly Believe It*****

    Hi John Well I have my marathon plus that I am willing to sell as am looking to get more ATB tyres due to my journey to work. Obviously I wouldn't ask for what I paid for them. My son was going to have them but is looking at getting a 28inch wheel bike. PM me if you are interested. It's a...

    Electric Bike Legislation

    I agree, I wish they would just leave it as it is :( Yes I ride mine in motor only but also pedal almost all of the time so who will know really? When my bike is dead and gone I am sure there will be ways around it and I will be able to get the parts for modification, just won't get caught...

    Being "green" is not the best way forward.

    I agree Joe I guess we can all only do our bit whilst the government in our Country achieve the desired results which will take much time indeed I feel. However we are not all going to do this as are used to a certain standard of life. I thing the future earthlings will take off through the...

    Being "green" is not the best way forward.

    Hi I have read most of this thread with much interest and I see where people are coming from. However I maybe a little contaversial in my views that directly affect the UK and may go a little off topic at times, sorry I have lived in my little end of terrace 3 bed house since 1980 which was...

    Wisper Works 905SE Owner Reviews

    Hi Dufus Very pleased to meet you but please don't worry, it was only one member and Russ dealt with that immediately as Flecc ponted out and that member has now left. No I was not happy at the time, but we have all moved on and I just wanted to put right what had been said in a light hearted...
