Never to sure about pumps, I always carry one, along with a few scabs and a spare tube. You know the first day I don't carry them, I'll get a puncture:oops: From what I've been reading I think I've been lucky, 2 punctures in 2 bikes & around 1200 miles, both punctures in conti's with protection...

I've no experience of your bike or battery but in the pedelec world there's no such animal as normal;) It's down to how you use it that makes all the difference. My Agattu has a 24v 10A battery, I've learnt to moderate my usage and save the assist for when I really need it, rather than just use...

Thanks for telling us that.:p Not to worry I have a video of my own to watch (box set of Shaun the Sheep) In a bad road situation I think, What would Shaun do if he was here? :) No more road rage.

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow (PM). I've promised the old timers (78&82) a walk in the country (AM). As I'm a youngster (52) I can walk then cycle, I've got a 15 mile ride planed featuring light mud, hard pack gravel & a little Tarmac. :)

I've got a £40 NCX post (from a German website) I can't fault it, the best bike related £40 I've ever spent. I believe the newer version is slightly lighter & can be had for around £74. I don't know about the thudbuster but when I was researching my post people seamed to prefer the NCX, I think...

I hadn't even noticed the "finding my wheels" thing until reading this thread and now I'm not impressed. It sounds like your talking to a toddler at play school :confused: Howsabout "Charging battery's" "Still charging" "Fully charged" Etc :)

I used what was available, a hi-vis orange tabard & reflective eyes & mouth:p

I think I passed that man this afternoon ;) He was coming up the same hill I was freewheeling down and grunted a response to my hello, it wasn't a happy one.

Looks like we are all singing the same song:) I've just put a pr of Schwalbe Smart Sam plus 2.1" on 700c x 19 rims. They work a charm with no performance issues but the frame/fork clearance is down to 1/2" (12mm) around the tyres. Another unexpected bonus;) They roll as well as the city tyres...

I thought it was my eyes going, I've been messing with the brightness on my I-Pad trying to make it all clear. The main text (like what I'm typing now) is clear enough but there's other bits of text that's to faint for me. I use my I-pad for everything these days and if I find something hard to...

Bored of the weather and can't be asked to make stuff in my machine shop/dank shed :D Thinks ! I'll "high-vis" my black Windproof jacket. Just to be different, I came up with this:p

I've just squeezed 18miles in hoping to bed my new disc in a bit. Anywho, I'm cooling down now and realised just how wet I am. ;) That's me off for a sauna :p

Your not wrong there:) Today I will be mostly trying cable brakes;)

Not my views, but those I've seen on product reviews and other bike forums. Bottom line, the max pressure you can apply on the leaver is the same for both types of brake, it's down to mechanical losses by the time that pressure reaches the pads. On paper a hydraulic system should always be...

Eddie I'm not as brave as you, anymore;) well done. I spent a good part of the day fitting my new brakes. A Shimano roller brake in the rear, nice soft feel & will lock the wheel if you pull hard enough (on Tarmac) :) The front required a new wheel in order to have a disc break and as Halfords...

Best laugh I've had in quite a while. A local business park has a burger van and they set there tables out over the cycle path, a pain in the summer when he's buissy, but I don't care anymore, after seeing what council's think acceptable.

Just do it, you know it makes sense. But seriously, the first time hurts, but once you've lost your mud cherry, you'll be loving it. After all, why have the kit if your not going to use it :)

Cheers Flecc, the roller has been ordered and I'm now deliberating over the unseen internet wheel or £10 more for one from my local halfords Halfords | Front 700c Bike Wheel in Black

could this little device be the answer to the long commute/recreational ride.....or flat battery in the car or the phone, or ipad?? 1/ long commute/recreational ride ? Well it's only 12 volts, so maybe not. 2/ flat battery in the car ? It could do the job but a 3s lipo battery from Hobbyking @...

And this is why rim brake don't suit. Yesterday and after digging the worst out with a stick:mad: And covering a further 10 road miles
