Really? Sounds interesting! Do you know of any part numbers?

Just had an idea about battery metering... One of the indications of the battery discharging is that the voltage sags under load. The degree of voltage sag (for a given battery) is dependent both upon the charge state of the battery, and the load it is under. So would a battery meter...

Probably more likely to happen at 16384 posts or 32768....Tony should be safe for now!

Count me in too! If I can find a spare inch to mount an extra light I always will!

Well done Mussels on getting into work in this! (Just seen your bike...) That's quite a trek in these conditions! (Mind you apart from the road surface, I used to find that in Manchester [10 years ago] it was easier cycling when it snowed. The car drivers drove a lot more carefully, making the...

Yep Crooche Onde is pretty good G-Wizs territory, I've seen one in Highgate but I think the proximity of the tube means that's taken instead. Mind you saw one tonight takling Highgate Hill very slowly...

Actually this is a problem I sort of started experiencing when I first started riding in London (previously I rode for 11 years in Manchester).... other bikes! Bikes are effectively silent compared to cars etc and in London of late there are SO many of them compared to Manchester. My 1st line...

Yes the only places I've seen them in London are areas like Crouch End and Muesli Hill where the houses are big enough to have drives & garages (& the residents wealthy enough to own a car just for the city commute).

Oh, the stem fixing bolt. I was thinking there was another one that tightened the quick release.

Bolt!? Where's that? I'd like to tighten mine ASAP. BTW I like the new seat, much smarter than the Wisper one.

Of course what you really need is some sort of lever you can pull that, when the bike exceeds the speed you'd like, slows the bike down....hold on I think that's already been done! :p ;) :D Seriously though if you want a more sophisticated solution, you should try Endless-Sphere. There's...

If you want lightweight (but inaccurate), you could put a resistor in series between the 5V line going into the throttle and the throttle itself. That should lower the voltage and limit the max throttle. Even better would be to put use a preset potentiometer to scale the output of the...

No that's me needs the love handles removed! The bike's going Dutch style, due to the horrible pain in my wrists!

Ditto Ditto ! (including the grovelling!) Cheers Steve (2nd owner of a beautiful German 905SE about to undergo extensive handlebar surgery)

The other thing to consider, especially in the beginning, is to only cycle one way, and use some other form of transport (cheap moped/scooter?) for the other direction. Then when you've got your fitness up you can switch to full time cycling. Of course this assumes you've got somewhere safe to...

Hmm an interesting form of storage. Of course it assumes that bike thieves don't own step ladders!

Unfortunately though Cycle to work schemes are usually capped at £1000 as above that your company would have to get an FSA Credit license thingy....

What Steve? Steve handlebars? Wow! ;) ;) ;)

Speaking of tendinopathy... The handlebars on my Wisper have given me a really nasty acute case (and the Crampbuster I tried on the throttle made it much worse!). Any one know where I can get some nice dutch style handlebars that dont cost a fortune? (and what's yheir proper name?) Cheers Steve

In passing I've thought of this...(I can't use 1 gear let alone 14!) If you can get a clamp on that will fit around the downtube, then you could just have a higher battery! Put a block of foam underneath to stop the battery banging on the deraileur bracket. Of course this might not work if your...
