Ni-cad's are the ones that have a memory and need fully discharging. Nimh don't need to be fully discharged

I've fancied a nexus 8 to replace my 9spd derailleur for well over a year now but having two pr's of wheels ( knobblys & slicks) both with cassettes, it would mean either buying two new hubs or just sticking with one type of tyre. :( Saying that, now I think of it, selling a pr of 29"er...

Don't go, You can still read what others have to say, you just can't respond if it p's you off :p

Sad to see you go but understandable. This forum was usually my first port of call of an evening, interesting topics and conversations, now it's the last forum I visit and that's only out of habit. I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't here.:(

I assume you haven't gotten your figures from actually riding the bike and your assuming the displayed mileage to be correct. Your bikes computer estimates the remaining mileage based on your riding style and the most recent usage. Worst case. your riding up a long step hill on max assist, the...

Done bb, ordered Saul and I'm now getting hooked on Jack Irish on The fox network Nearly forgot to recommend The first season of Fargo with Billy Bob Thornton & Martin freeman. The second season was OK on its own but disappointing after watching the first.

Me too, I have the same ones on my Pedelec and bontrager's on my fully human powered bike. The bontrager's do move a little but as I'm a perpetual tinkerer I'm reluctant to glue them on :rolleyes:

I'm sure I've mentioned it before but it's worth bringing it up again. As a British cycleing member for £21 you get Liability insurance and legal support along with many discounts including 10% at Halfords :cool:

Well said mr Dave sir. I read a lot more on here than I post for that very reason. I know what suits me but it doesn't follow that I know what's best for everyone else. It's the physically fit that haven't experienced the soul destroying pain that accompanies some conditions, that some times...

You could use a light cable extention in conjunction with your frame lock. When I had a bike with a frame lock I used a 6mm x1m long cable, just enough to loop around a lamppost and back to the lock. Here's a long 8mm version as an example...

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's illegal to sell a bike without a bell. saying that, if fitted on a new bike a lot of bells would get taken off because there uncool and for children

Hummmm how about EBay or even your local Halfrauds http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/mirrors-bells-and-horns/real-chrome-bike-bell

Nice idea but doesn't that mean your jingling all the time ? I'd find that most annoying. I've tried a few different warning gadgets but found that plebeians (sorry that should read pedestrians) not associating the noise with a bike ignore it. The last device I tried was a pp3 powered mega...

The frame is slightly springy and the screw parts on the stand are hollow plastic, you pull the two screws apart just enough and they sit over the axle nuts or in my case the QR leaver and nut.

Regards the bikes and salt water i take it that the battery is likely to run into problems rather than the bike in general? As d8veh has pointed out, salt water and electricity don't mix well. Salt water is conductive, get it on your battery terminals and it so long & goodnight. I run RC trucks...

I use one of these for cleaning & chain oiling etc. The only down side is the one I brought was just toutcing my 29" tyre so I had to tweek it a little to get my wheel to rotate. Cheap as sliced & fried potatos...

And Lumos living on the edge of the map. You could consider a custom OS map with your choice of scale & center point. https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/shop/custom-made-maps.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwrte4BRD-oYi3y5_AhZ4BEiQAzIFxnyzFVCdDCD22IkfuDsXvcRbqkFPn6vTfCPSNISGem-oaAkVy8P8HAQ The best map I ever...

I find a lot of things in life irritating but that's not one of them;) Sent from my iPad using my finger

Bike shops forget that for the individual buying and especialy picking up a new bike is an existing time and nothing dampens the experience like pore service, to them it's probably just another bike and no big deal. Your bike should have been pdi'd, air in tyres, gears and breaks checked...

I don't like using the same bottle over and over especially as I add electrolytes. Yes I know I can wash it out but I just can't be asked. The 750ml Buxton bottled water comes with a sports cap and drops straight in a standard water bottle cage :cool...
