I dont start talking until after the motorway bridge... er, aside from squirrel spotting.

I like the Bern ones too, but i have three cycling helmet and two motorbike helmets and only one head to put in them.:rolleyes:

I've got perhaps 2 miles out of 10 on the road, and a further 2 on paved off the road cycle paths (housing estate type ones). Really its 80% off road.

I really like my Casco eMotion, but i got it for £90 on sale at Evans Cycles, must have been end of line, because they dont seem to have any more.

YouTube - Electric Bike Vlog - Part 1 Comments appreciated, even negative ones :). Brrr, it was cold this morning.

:D LOL. It should be up in an hour...

Could be a bearing problem but I'd expect that to be consistent, not just on occasion. If it is, you'll feel it when you turn the wheel With your hand.

I've not done it to the Aurora... I will, but I'm strongly tempted to rip the bike to bits and fit the whole electronic gubbins to my ole Marin full suspension MTB, which is a better bike than it's used value suggests. It was originally £1800, and now, 5 years old it worth less than £500, but...

Almax chains are the best, without a shadow of a doubt, but they're not for carrying on a bike. I can't even carry mine on my motorbike. The link diameter is exactly the same as the Kryptonite Fahgettaboudit, so I'd expect similar security. In both cases, what you lock them too is probably...

I've recorded it this morning, all on my off-road section, but I do plan to do more. I've been using Windows Live movie editor, which is ok-ish. You can also edit within YouTube once you've uploaded it, which is faster using their servers. Just need to roughly chop it to an uploadable size...

Yes, it's a 1-1/8 threaded steerer with a quill stem. If you swapped the forks and headset you could have an ahead type. Which I would recommend as the standard forks are so overdamped that they don't seem to absorb anything. I fitted Rockshox Dart 2's to the Cyclamatic which cost me £85 and...

lol, "Kanal von"? Something seems a bit German there...:confused:

It is something between your mudguard and tyre, usually drops out quite quickly, but occasionally sticks in the tyre tread and goes round and round and round...

YouTube - Kanal von TheAegisClaw I'll post a link once i have the first vlog up. :)

I always carry a short thick Abus cable lock, just in case i need to leave the bike somewhere for short periods. Planned stops or longer stops i use the Fahgettaboudit. I think the professional thief is more likely to target bikes he sees in the same place each day. He'll have a good idea of...

So, after much messing about with cameras and microphones i think i'm finally ready to record my first vlog on the Aurora. Vlogging (video-blogging) is something motorbikers seem to do quite a lot, just riding around talking to the camera, about... well anything they like. Have a search for...

Then it fails because my connection dropped three hours in :mad: *bangs head against wall*

There's a lot of things affecting rolling resistance, tyre width, tread, pressure, the compound of the rubber, what its running on and contact patch. There are knobbly MTB tyres out there that roll pretty fast, Schwalbe Racing Ralph's for example, but TdF riders all use 18-23c tyres which have...

The Kryptonite "New York" range have been top of the tree for over a decade. Although it took me over a decade to be able to stump up that much cash for a bike lock! Looking back, a fair price for peace of mind.:)

15 minutes of 1080p footage uploading now... so the detail should be much better, its very good before YouTube gets it anyway. 2.4gb :eek: 160 mins to upload on my fast connection! :eek:
