Nothing bar latex is waterproof against water ingress from above, which is how it usually happens, but you still wind up with condensation building up inside the socks and hence wet feet eventually. I swapped my sealskinz for some merino wool socks. They absorb moisture / condensation but...

AFAIK Pitlock standard width / diameter for a front wheel - 5mm diameter and 119mm width. Set 04 Their other FW axle lengths are as here - front wheel options are 119mm or 130mm : AXLES WITHOUT LOCK I think they can be filed shorter if you really have to - although need to be...

I'm sure you can easily get the models which aren't sold here sent by European suppliers ? e.g. Haibike Xduro Superrace 28 400Wh 10-G Sram X0 50cm 2014 - BikeStore.cc Österreichs führender Fahrrad Onlineshop

If it's that central, can't you take a tube or bus for a few weeks 'till you get your feet under the table and then move on to taking a brompton in with you in a bag ? .... if these storms continue for much longer it'd probably be a respite anyway. I wouldn't risk leaving an eBike parked...

If it's just getting past disc brakes that's the issue this should work provided you have mounting holes : Halfords | Topeak Super Tourist DX Disc Pannier Rack I've got the 'normal' (non-disc) version on my Agattu and fitted the above disc brake version to the Trek. Great racks for...

"Grooming" is a cruel but widely used tactic of con artists and more sinister criminal types too. I hope there is still an outside chance something happened and the guy will be back in touch with an explanation - perhaps he got carried away and crashed it or something. Otherwise it's a...

That's pretty awful cwah. This happened in Paris ?

If the eBike is 'legal' then joining British Cycling gets you 3rd party liability insurance included. About £24 a year or 1/2 price for 1st year with some offers if you trawl about. If the eBike is not road legal then obviously 3rd party insurance is in all probability effectively impossible...

Most of the cost of relatively low-risk car insurance is 3rd party liability cover. Basically the risk of them paying out for you damaging someone else's car and associated injury claims, rather than your own. The main reason why living in a high security expensive area for example comes with...

Great stuff. Those forks ..... :cool: The respray will finish it off ... personally I think attaching some sort of hinged cover plate to the underside to hide the connectors coming out of the controller would also make a worthwhile difference to the aesthetics. Do you pop a blanking EC5 on...

I wondered the same when I originally looked at cycle breakdown insurance ... if the bike is otherwise rideable it would be a moot point ! Decided in the end not to bother with it. Figured if the worst happened I could likely walk the bike to somewhere you could call a large taxi to pick you and...

I met the guy behind these at the Birmingham show in 2012. Bought one of his more 'affordable' models for the rear wheel of my Agattu. Must admit it was very nice, reliable, very well made and eye-catching. Apart from the fact that it didn't survive my hand slipping when using a chain cleaner...

How much did you get it for ?

Definitely needs unravelling - 22A won't give you that extra push on the really steep slopes at 36V. Did you get any KU123s ? I'd try it with one of them see what you think if you did. They definitely run round 30A.

It's this one : 12V 5W LED CREE Home Garden Waterproof Day Work Spot Decoration Light Outdoor | eBay Scimitar and some others I think had trouble getting the right colour sent. Mine came in white which was as I requested. The current test on it came out at 0.23A off 36V battery. It does...

... if you wait till Boxing Day I think you may be in with a really good day for it.

Eddie ... seems to me Santa needs to be prevailed on for a proper pair of Winter boots as you've clearly earned your stripes (so to speak !). I wore mine every day last year right through Winter until June with a couple of pairs of merino socks (far prefer to the sealskinz especially when you...

I think if getting wet is that much of an issue then just buy a smart car and have done with it !

Well done on hitting the 1,000 mark, especially as you do a lot of miles off-road. It's one perk of having your computer set on metric rather than imperial ... you get to smile and reflect that little bit sooner :cool: Clocked 1,000 miles on my self-build Trek recently since fitting the cycle...

Hopefully by the time you get the bikes built to test the wind will have dropped below 30mph for a day or so !
