I can see both sides here but it reminds me of a few Christmas's ago when I poped into my local RC hobby shop, it was inundated with people. Most were new to the hobby and this shop, having had RC trucks from the bay as christmas presents they now found they couldn't make them run correctly or...

Yes awol I know the stuff, it's these that did for me http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/science-in-sport-go-hydro-electrolyte-20-tablets/rp-prod92052 It was one of those borderline purchases. Buy a new chain and pay postage, spend £2 more and postage is free ? No brainer realy. There's no...

Fruit pastilles every time. I've tried a few energy bar type things but the pastilles win out every time. A nice quick suggar fix when you start to flag a bit or just because they taste sooooo good. On a less serious note. Whilst trying to reduce my leg cramps after a series if longer rides...

Your a hero, remind me never to shake you by the hand. I've been changing tyres on all types of pushbikes & motorcycles for over 40 years and I'd never surgest people don't need tyre leavers. Yes it can be done on some tyres and it helps if you have big strong man hands. These days my...

Without being there it looks like the tyre rim is sitting on top of the tube around the valve. When I've had a tube trapped like that, I've let all the air out and removed the valve locknut and pushed the valve stem back into the rim ( not so far as it won't come back) If the tyre rim is...

Yes I can & do do that but for fun, if I wan to get somewhere faster I use my car :p

As folks have already stated there's to many variations to have any reliable table for battery range. I have arthritis in both knees & can't stand to peddle but I can keep going at 60-70 cadence for hours ! If I'm setting out for a days riding, I adjust my riding to suit. Most of my riding will...

I have the bosch active motor & 400 battery in my cube. My display shows a different range each time I fully charge the battery. At first I thought I had a problem but it seams as though the bike guesstimates the range based on your most recent riding style and the terrain your on. I've left...

I've stopped thinking of lycra's as fello cyclists a long time ago, the best I can do is regard them as just more road users ! I don't even think there quite the same species anymore, still human but with the humanity removed :(

Do you finaly get the all clear from the clinic and can start sh¥€!ng again :p I didn't want a wattmeter anyhow;)

Ha bloody Ha, you got me there. I'd only just put down my wildlife trust magazine, Doh :rolleyes:

In the summer it's a cupper but in this cold weather, while I'm drinking my tea I I also warm my shoes up before I put them on ;)

I've also got a creaky back & covered over 2000 miles with my NCX without issue. I love it so much, I use it on two bikes, quick enough to swap over and your always sitting on your favourite saddle;) The best advice I can give is, don't fanny about just get one and enjoy

Totaly not what you wanted but would a £100 camping generator get the job done ? http://www.generators-direct.co.uk/camping-and-caravan/clarke-g720-petrol-generator

Front brake in a bend :eek: what were you thinking lol :confused: A long time ago I had a RD125cc bike with ace bars, within a week I lost the front end on a bend. All I remember is my fingers trapped under the handlebars as I slid down the road, broken fingers & road burn and that was me...

Yup that looks like a health hazard for the rider and dangerous to the public

Cheers Michael, that sort of what I was thinking in a roundabout way. I've ordered an adjustable step up device. When it arrives I'll tweek the voltage to the lowest possible output before any noticeable loss of brightness, this should compliment a 1S lipo allowing me to use it to its full...

As we're buying things to play with, Iv've just brought an adjustable step up module. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281503744261

Usefull bit of kit D8veh. I'd need a smart phone to get the best out of it.;) I'm stocked up with RC stuff, lipos & chargers etc. In the RC world we don't like our lipos to drop as low as 3V, we tend to set the LVC (low voltage cutoff) around 3.3V. It may be different for li-ion cells but I've...

OK so what I have is a T6 LED cycle light, USB powered (5V) and a whole bunch of Lipo's. 1S & 2S aswell as several 18650 cells and both a step up 3.7v to 5v 1A board and a step down 2S to 5V 3A device. Today while tinkering with bits of wire and batteries I tried the light on every combination...
