With 20" wheels i think you have to accept smaller panniers as the full size ones come a bit close to the road. In the description of the bikeworld panniers i did not read they were waterproof.

Hi -I have a Tesco Hopper which is almost the same bike. I took off the basket at the front on mine, as i found the steering very twitchy , especially going slowly, and every time you put the bike on stand the front wheel did a 180 degree. Bought (at £15.00 from Tesco) a seatpost clamp-on...

Hi and welcome. During this festive period, when cars are jostling to get parking space at our local supermarket, I do get a perverse pleasure cycling up to the front door and locking my hopper to the bike stand. Luckily my scarf around my chin covers a large grin. Usually mine is the only bike...

Me too - cos i'm just getting old.:rolleyes:

I see the letters are filtered out - i can't think why. :rolleyes: The whole word is opposite to freshwater. One of the team broke a small bone in his foot and we took him to your hospital to bandage up - small world.

Hi Allan and welcome to the forum. Stayed many times just above you in Paihai - fishing Bay of Islands. Was part of the N.Ireland sal****er fly team in the Air N.Z tournament. We actually won it the third year. N.Z. was certainly first in line when they were handing out mountains. Glad to see...

Hi Freddy I got a cheepo hopper 14 months ago for the same reasons as yourself. Except i use it only for pleasure. The orginal 8.5 amp battery after 1400 miles is down to about 65%-70%. Last week my new 24v 15amp Li-Ion battery from BMS arrived. So i keep the big battery for long rides and...

An easy off road round run of 14 miles i cycle quite often. Belfast Docks this Sunday Morning - YouTube

I was quite lucky in that my cables had a fair bit of slack in them before i changed the handlebar. It took about 2"of slack up with the higher Raleigh bar. Might be worth checking beforehand. Also had to fit new grips. Could not remove even with heat gun on them to the point of smouldering...

Yes downloaded UK & Ireland maps from mobile data service. Disabled optioned = Live Traffic and Route Sharing etc. on install. Will check today (very carefully) when i take a small run later today what usage navigating. Perhaps the initial install and playing about for over an hour racked it...

Also with upright position - much kinder on the lower regions!

I went for the Raleigh North Road Rounder - which i quite similar.

Thanks for info. Downloaded Copilot on my own Galaxy note. Was playing around for over an hour with the app. - marking in a few routes when i got a warning from 02 that i had used almost 1GB out of my 1.5 allowance, leaving me 0.17 left. Do you find a heavy usage say for 2-4 hour cycle with...

Have been looking for GPS for bike that i can pre plan routes in the country and then follow it. Either by drawing route along road map or if thats not possible mark waypoints at all the junctions where i need to turn off. I am printing off those brilliant Sustans routes. But as they require...

Thanks all for your advice. Have fitted swept back Dutch type bar. Luckily had enough play on the cables and none had to be replaced. Also the new handle bar fits neat enough when it is folded. Replaced grips with good quality ones. Have done 3 long runs and the improvment is amasing.

No i'm lucky in that i don't suffer cold hands. Have worn gloves, and it makes no difference. I think Scimitar has it with the straightish bars. Trouble is will have to change most of the cables as they will be too tight with "mary" type bars.

Will give that a go - Thanks.

Many thanks - thats exactly the bar i was thinking about. Not that much bigger than mine - but the shape could help. Will check cable lengths

Has anyone else found this - Over the last six months my left hand thumb is sore, even days after pedelecing. Riding position is not entirely upright - only slightly leaning forward. Bike is 20" folder so height of straight handlebar is fixed. I have lowered the seat as far as possible to...
