The trek FX is a good point, the non electric version start below £400, Trek sell the FX+ for £1800 or so right? For Flecc's point, i'm sure BMS kits aren't the best, but they sell Bafang motors and Phylion batteries which are on my Aurora and they're great, the strongest part of the bike...

The motorcyclist in me says right handed, and as i'm right handed i probably have more precision control... BUT... when turning right there's always the problem where you have to come off the throttle to indicate. Indicating left is less of an issue because you dont have to cross a lane...

Just wondering, it seems to me that a £3-400 Specialized with a £300 kit and battery from the likes of BMS battery would be superior to the majority of hub motor eBikes out there. All eBikes (except the Derby Panasonic powered bikes perhaps) seem to suffer with cheap chinese components. Even...

:rolleyes: I bet i'd still get SMIDSYs.

Frank, you're a genius :D, those look like the same batteries (definitely the same mounting) as the Aurora comes with, but for a fraction of the price! Even a 15ah option for longer range!

Ah but with a Casco and some shades you look like: Which is worth £100 anyway. Now just need the Heckley & Koch for road rage incidents :D

I've given up on ordering parts in through bike shops. They never seem to arrive, get forgotten about then you get a pack of lies to fend you off when you chase them:mad: . If its not in stock, then buy online.

The Spoon has more padding than you might expect just from looking at it. I've owned both that, a Pure V and a Specialized Avatar Gel (the middle size) and the Spoon was much comfier for me. Everyone is different though.

The problem with a GPS tracker on a bike is keeping it powered up though.

I'm not sure that width number means anything, i mean, from what point to what point is it measured? Angles? Padding? From brand to brand its going to differ hugely. For example my Brooks is much wider than my Spoon, but it feels narrower to ride. The WTB pure V is another very popular choice.

Most seats dont have a size. Specialized BG seem awfully uncomfortable in any size to me. I'd strongly recommend a Charge Spoon, look at some of the hundreds of reviews. I also like my Brooks a lot, but it doesn't suit all bikes.

I was under the impression that car theft dropped to almost zero with the fitting of immobilisers as standard? Now you need the keys to steal a car.

Hmmm, no they wont because i dont have any. I dont need it, i have big locks!;)

I've got some of these knobblier Marathons, done two rides on them and they seem very good, much improved grip off-road, imperceptibly slower on the road.

I'm sorry, i dont see the point of one of these where bikes need to be scanned, like Datatag or Smart Water etc. Unless the bike is recovered by the police, and most aren't by the police's own admission, these are no use at all. Even if they are recovered i'm dubious about the assumption...

Great program, one thing needs clarifying though, what can and what cant be bolt cropped by the huge 42" croppers. Bear in mind this is all based on one set of jaws, when the croppers fail to cut the jaws actually break into pieces, but a second set of jaws on the already damaged lock of any...

Maybe this one is more suitable, its flexible from the jack, so could let me use my eMotion helmet.

Thanks all. Allen, im using an external microphone, inside the chin-bar of my full face DH helmet (yes, it looks stupid on the Aurora!). Occasionally the wind blows into it. I've actually taped over the internal pinhole mic as it was next to useless even without wind. I didnt expect the...

Yes, our cycle parking at work is full everyday, which it isn't normally even in the height of summer.

No, we onlt have the grey American usurper squirrels which i am meant to hate, but cant quite when i see them harmlessly going about their woodland business.:)
