    Have been stolen... again!!!

    I agree - I've got so used to a smartphone now it would be like losing a computer. It's just so damned useful.

    Cyclamatic front brakes - improvement needed

    That's exactly what I did with my fronts - the Avids nearly had me over the bars at first, they were so good. I left the rears as cantis, but screeching has become a pita, so I'm thinking of putting a set of Avids on there, too.

    Cyclamatic front brakes - improvement needed

    Common cause of racket with cantilever or V-brakes is muck on the rim and blocks. A sticky gunge which builds up and causes the blocks to jump and chatter at high frequencies, sounding like screeching. If you take a nylon scouring pad to the rims with a bit of dish soap and just scrub them clean...

    The flatmate compliant charger

    NB...ITV south west local news at 6pm !

    Maybe there's another smaller coverage area which the satellite doesn't relay. Was the item right at the beginning, because I only missed about a minute and it was straight into a highlighting of what was to come.

    NB...ITV south west local news at 6pm !

    I was watching ITV1 West - which was labelled "ITV South West" on the local news screen. Nothing on that about electric bikes, Totnes, anything. I saw Princess Anne looking at lighthouse, and annoyed nurses in Bristol.

    What is the point to these?

    The point is, as I see it; is to buy one, really juice it up and go shopping with it. A nice 72V battery and 1kW motor will do that nicely. :)

    Greenbikekit.com

    Leopards don't change their spots. If there is a strong link between them the same crappy way of doing business will resurface.

    Pedelec has given me my life back!

    Keep it up - I was four stones heavier when I first dragged the bike back out of retirement and for the last year with the leccy foot, the weight is still coming down.

    Batteries in panniers

    Imagine it had been beer - now that's a lesson in cargo security you remember.

    Winter time is coming and that would be marvellous.
