    Speedict Support

    So what does that mean for the bluetooth driver + rom problem especially on 4.x android ? Is the problem rectified now ?

    Building in CREE light

    Is that called a terminal block ? Do you just connect the main wire in one side and several wires out of adjacent modules on the other side then ? (Have never used these)...

    Building in CREE light

    I'd need to split my 36v supply about 6+ ways then taking the lights, 12V circuit, secondary 36V feed and main controller feed into account lol. Will definitely need to find some sort of way of distributing the power along branched off feeds through a connector block of some sort as you can't...

    Building in CREE light

    OK ... re-engaging with this lighting thing after giving the grey cells a chance to recover from blow-out overload ! Two things are still perplexing the life out of me : 1) If I get single-LED drivers (presuming one each required for 3 lights) for example and run them at say 1400mA each at 5V...

    Running additional circuits off main battery

    Is a BUS bar a neat / simple way of tapping circuits off the main battery supply ? Have yet to find an answer for how to do this without soldering large wires to each other or trying to connect multiple wires to a single connector pin. There must be a tidy way of wiring up :confused: I'm kind...

    £2,000 toy fund - but what to spend it on ?

    If you want to be able to do that your best bet would likely be to fit a kit / convert a normal bike which is easily removed when you're ready to return to unassisted riding. I'm doing this with a 9sp 27-gear Trek MTB which I'm trying very hard to modify in a way that it can be restored with no...

    Laser navigation for bikes

    Have to agree actually, not something I'd want. Can't see that getting distracted looking at a GPS to the extent you have an accident is very likely in most instances, especially if you use an earpiece, which I do now all the time to hear voice guidance. Saves getting weird stares from...

    £2,000 toy fund - but what to spend it on ?

    ... but ... are there any real hills in Cromer (or at the Cycle Show) ? :p :) My comment was about real world hill climbing aspects rather than responsiveness on start / riding on the flat or on test tracks. I agree with you there are ten a penny Bosch system bikes to choose from so every style...

    Worldwide flights from Manston by KLM,50% cheaper than BA.

    Interesting - didn't know they were opening up flights from there. That's definitely good news if you live in the far South East. Only thing is I guess that unless you live in London or Kent it's a complete b*****r to get to the airport ! Usual load of taxi fares on top of train tickets if you...

    Puncture Proofing

    If you get a chance to use them on paved roads at all, let us know how they do on that ? I inevitably wind up cycling on road to the places I want to go off-road and it's still a toss-up between these and the Tours. Sometimes you wind up riding most of the time on something built for harsher...

    £2,000 toy fund - but what to spend it on ?

    Find it hard to believe that all Bosch bikes are better hill climbers than Impulse bikes ... Impulse is one of the best climbers out there in the 250W category !

    Giant XTC SE - 36v 500w Bafang Code 12 (44.v)

    Like the foam .... what did you use ? Saw some on sale in a modelling shop online but it was £10 delivery charge so that was a "no" !

    Rims & tyres - again !

    No worries I have found the answer .... according to Sheldon Brown, to enlarge a Presta valve hole to accept schrader valves I need to use a 21/64" drill bit.

    Rims & tyres - again !

    .... and funnily enough there is a unique sea tractor just down the road ... Burgh island sea tractor. Best photos and information of modification. But that's mainly for when the tide is in and the well-heeled guests of the hotel on the island don't want to get their tootsies wet :) !! :p Be...

    Rims & tyres - again !

    So the "knobbles" on knobblies are for dry loose ground and soft ground mainly ? Are any tyres suitable for wet sand or is that just asking for trouble :)

    Rims & tyres - again !

    Very interesting about the tyre pressure - never knew that. The Jones tyres look cracked on the sidewalls (although not punctured) so maybe that's the reason ! Are there any other advantages to wider tyres than puncture resistance ? That's what I put on my Agattu for non-Winter use but...

    Rims & tyres - again !

    Actually ... just some more thoughts .... these come in a 26x1.75 and a 26x2.1 ... Apart from the weight differential are the 2.1s usually significantly better off-road and significantly worse on-road than the 1.75s ? Bike has 80mm suspension front forks with lockout if that makes any...

    Rims & tyres - again !

    Been humming and hawing (for a change :rolleyes:) over tyres and tubes for the Trek conversion (26" MTB). First - inner tubes Going to be riding around areas where lane hedges regularly trimmed by the Council leaving blackthorn, hawthorn debris etc. all over the paths which take days to wash...
