+1 for the lidls crivit. There are 3 widths, i have the middle one. However probably the most comfortable saddle is the one you haven't got.

Looking at the O2 and EE maps both look good indoors for my postcode. As this will be working as a mains driven 4g router we should be good. The Giffgaff sim is one month only, change or leave with no penalty, so if it doesn't work I can go with another provider. Hope i don't have to. If we...

It's a Tenda supplied as a plug and play kit. I assume that means it's fully configured. They do a signal survey as part of the cost. https://offgridwifi.co.uk/product/off-grid-wifi-with-antenna/ I'm one of those people who gets lost in tech land. People have told me that e-mail, for...

Thanks Guerny, good to know. i will be connecting ethernet to a pc and wifi to a laptop. Signal reception is moot as I have 3ft thick stone walls, hence ordering a kit with an external ariel. it may work in the loft but I have been advised that slate has a lot of iron in it, though I can find...

Is frequent IP changes a feature of 4g routers? Giffgaff is on O2, so will this be the same? Why does IP changing affect banking?

50mbps ! You have no idea mate. My best current rate is 2.3mbps. Anyway, as stated, the aim here is to save money, I can't support the sort of expenditure you're talking about. Spoke to a tame geek at a company I was doing some work for yesterday. I now know that all routers are voip capable -...

Trying to find a way to afford internet services into the future. As a pensioner the rates of price increase from the usual suppliers are making it unsustainable. The new +net rate will be £704/annum on a two year deal (plus the march rise of course). This would pay for a whole winters worth...

My isp is about to put up my charges by a massive 33.3% on top of the spring increase. Given this and the upcoming hooha of digital changeover (which seems to go awry a lot of the time) and loss of landline anyway, I am investigating 4G routers. I have come across this plug and play kit from a...

I have a Pashley 'Dingdong' bell. It is loud and sonorous giving two notes on about a decscending 4th. Once, when coming up behind a large straggly group of chatting walkers, i rang the bell and they started to part. One woman said, 'ooo what a lovely bell' I said, 'It is isn't it, would you...

Maybe, because of all the battery fire scare stories, bike sales are down so they're getting out of the market. Or their warehouse insurers have kicked up rough about the storage - same end result.

You have inadvertantly stumbled into the nettle patch of power ratings. The label on the motor is little more than that. It is the manufacturer saying that the motor can take this wattage continuously (30 minutes) without overheating. Other than that it is meaningless and has buggerall to do...

Kit looks fine to me, with one reservation. The saddle is so low that the battery will have to sit behind it, meaning it will be quite far back. That, combined with the fact that the hailong1 is quite a tall case, will make it look awkward. The raising of centre of gravity from the battery...

Unfortunately the only way through to the garden is through the hall,living room and kitchen - not a straight line. Plus, it's a Welsh house, none of the doors are standard width. I just about get away with our bikes.

All those you mention have Bosch system which is a locked in one. Think Apple. You can only get repairs/service done at the place you bought it from. If anything goes wrong with the motor the 'service agent' can only take it out and send it back to Germany, leaving you without a bike for the...

I am immensly jealous.. I'd have one in a shot but I don't have a garage and live in a terraced house. Bum:(

More likely adrenalin and shock. Bet he felt bloody awful later when his heart rate had subsided. many moons ago as a StJohn ambulance cadet, we were trained to be alert, at an accident scene, to people wandering off apparently perfectly OK.

Just to point out that the calculation and build video's from e.bike.ca are hub motor secific. Most calculators deal with standard wheel hub builds only.

There is all the info you need for wheel building at ebikes.ca, here: https://ebikes.ca/tools/spoke-calc.html Top is the spoke calculator. If you scroll down the page there are 3 video's covering measuring and building a wheel from scratch. I used them and built my first wheel around 9 months...

I've got one of those jump starter things. Claims to turn over a 3litre diesel or 6 litre petrol engine. It's a bit smaller than a brick. I use it to power a sat nav when I'm away camping - sits in my Carradice handlebar box.

Earlier in the week I bumped into a couple I know at the local supermarket. She spotted my handlebar display and said, 'Is that electric? Ooo they're really dangerous' taking a step back as she did so. Turns out they have a son who's a fireman in the london brigade. He's obviously told them...
