:) For me it was exactly the opposite. Rather like watching a bad film, your expecting something worthwhile to happen because the paper recommended it, only to be surprised when the titles come up and you finally realise the good film was shown on a different channel. This thread has been a part...

Yup, I'm up there close to 17 on my cube (Bosch) but only really notice it on the flat with full power, that's not very often as I usually save the juice for those hilly bits ;)

OK so I popped out today to use a bit more juice and see how things were. To start the display still showed 39 miles (Eco) from yesterday, during my 20 mile ride is slowly decreased like normal, down to 18 miles left and 2 battery bars. Things seam fine now so I've now given it a full charge...

There's not many flat bits around here despite what you might think ! Saving the juice by changing down on the hills (1st or 2nd gear) before I turn the power on and then only just what is needed (rather than whacking it on full power ) even then my average is 12 MPH If I'm feeling like a bit...

OK so I've done over 800 trouble free miles on my cube reaction, I've sussed the range'O'meter and can expect the distance shown in Eco mode works out equal to my overall distance covered, I tend to save the power for strong headwinds and big hills using various power settings. Anywho back to...

Yup, that's the stuff Steve On the stuff I used, the driver was powered by 2 AA battery's so not much bigger than a PP9 all in. If I was to do another hat, I'd use a single cell lipo the size of a phone battery or smaller, maybe something like this...

While I chose not to wear a helmet and don't ride in the dark anywho, I do comend your initiative. Have you thought about EL wire (Electroluminescent, for those that didn't know) A few years back I made a fancy hat for a firework party, I had people asking me where they could get one from...

Denwyn Your perfect fine the way you ride and everyone else is wrong. Is what you want to hear. Why are you asking for advice if your going to ignore any answers you don't like. I could tell you of my arthritis and how riding with the correct saddle hight helps me peddle harder and for longer...

At the start of last year I owned several saddles from the stock sports type to a big fat sprung specialized armchair. The sports thing felt like riding a brick and I went numb after only a few miles. The armchair was oh so comfortable to start with but as my trips got longer my bits got sorer...

What !

I also have one of those, the only trouble is all the new housing that's going up doesn't show on my old OS. Some of my regular dirt trails now seam to be tarmac, the trees are now made of bricks and some of the wildlife is armed, a regular concrete jungle

My 10 pence worth ! I brought a Cube reaction 29er ( latest Bosch system ) earlier this year and at the time of purchase the dealer mentioned derestricting, saying "of cause you can make it go faster with a dongle but you'll loose the warranty" So if someone tells you yes you'll keep the...

A totally uninspired company name, probably thought up late at night after to many shandys and boisterously supported by fellow shandy drinkers

OK like lots of people I'm not built like a racing snake. Finding suitable cycling clothing is a pain, most jacket sleeves 3" to long for me and that's just for starters. So seeing on Dragons Den, someone wanted support for there fuller figure cycle clothing range, this woke me from my slumber...

My cube bars have a 31.8mm clamp area and a grip dia of 7/8" or 22mm, this appears to be MTB standard for this year at least :confused: The next generation of down hill bars are coming out with a massive 35mm clamp dia What ever next :p

I'm not going to the trouble ok checking history now, as this litflicker bloke has only posted 21 times in over 2 years maybe he's only out to wind people up. He had me going for a while,:mad: I should look at people's history before biting in the future.;)

There's a lot of stuff there and I think I've got the basics, but just for clarification where dose the present range of European bikes stand (including my cube) are they all to become illegal ?

How about a nice pulley system

On my new bike I run both Big Apples & Smart Sam Plus's. Apples have done 700 trouble free miles on road & light trails, the Sam's have only done 90ish miles on wooded trails and caught two punctures. I'm now looking to fit tougher tubes in the Sam's. I think it's more about where you ride...

Back in the day, In a previous life ;) Me & a mate would tear round the local woodland on our green lane motorbikes (totally illegality trespassing). We loved it but even riding slowly hazards were hard to spot & often caught us out, at least we could help each other should it be required...
