    camera for your pocket

    inspired by the camera in your pocket thread I've brought myself a new zoom compact. My finepix Z90 is now obsolete, rather than hiding it away in the back of a cupboard and using the batters & charger for a cycle light, I thought I'd offer it for sale here first. It takes a realy nice picture...

    Bosch power

    Hi, I have had my cube/Bosch for a few years & love it. 3500 miles and I changed a few things but that's just me, a perpetual tinkerer ;) higher handlebars ease my back pain ridged carbon forks replace the OEM suspension ones (2.2" tyres do a good enough job on light trails) ncx seat-post...

    My bum hurts

    Or go to a specialized dealer as they have a squidgy pad /seat that dose the same thing, also it's worth asking the same dealer about specialized "refund / exchange if not satisfied" policy. I tried several saddles before chosing a Milano gell, 2000 miles later & I have now moved onto and...

    400 vs 500 Battery?

    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: Back to OP's Question, more is best, if you can afford it, go for it. I brought my cube before the 500's existed, for the most part 400 is more than enough but there's times I want more. When I'm out enjoying meandering around...

    Sherlock - Anti-theft gps tracker with gsm for bikes

    Ah yes but "set yourself free from the fear of theft" Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "helps you find your stolen bike" Yes I don't want my bike stolen and if it was, it's nice to know I could be found easily. But surely theft prevention is better, if you fit a house alarm do you...

    This guy and his Jack Russell. What should I do?

    I'd like to think he would be open and concerned when you explained how he is personally responsible for what his dog dose and he could be prosecuted should it get tangled up in your spokes :eek: In reality he is probably like many owners of little yappy dogs and can't see any fault in there...

    Silicone Wiring

    Just done a quick Google and the first hit gave me possibly a perfect cycle lighting cable ( it dosent show the length per unit so I'm assuming it's 1 metre) http://www.designacable.com/twin-conductor-silicone-rubber-cable-2x0-4mm-6amp-suitable-for-dc-applications.html And it's on eBay...

    Silicone Wiring

    Personally I like to use silicon insulated multi strand copper wire for its higher flexibility over any pvc type insulation I've found ( especially at lower temperatures ) I buy single strand from both eBay and Hobbyking, :cool: As yet I've not see multi strand but I'd like some twin for my...

    Seating position

    Quite possible, I've found that some seat-posts just don't have the adjustment needed for a more upright riding position. My cube post was on the limit but I soon swaped to a nx suntour suspension post, all the adjustment you'll need ;) As to saddle to peddle ratio, Ive always set my saddles...

    HANDLEBAR EXTENDER

    Johnny, your UK item is probably in HK, good enough feedback and you'll probably get it quite quickly ( from my experience it could be as little as 10 days) If I'm ever in doubt I like to look at the sellers details !
