That would be handy, ta. If they're small enough I'd suppose they could attach to a PM.

Add that to the one on here yesterday and we have evidence of a Hipster craze :) "My bike's too cool to steer at all."

Yep. Ideally, your battery indicator would be accurately tailored to your battery pack, but there's so little leeway that it's not surprising it's off on the bottom end. Have a look at the discharge curves here... Torchy the Battery Boy: 18650 Batteries / Chargers You can see they tend to fall...

Unfortunately, judgements like just serve to prove the law is indeed an ass.

Frankly, it's the biggest load of horseshiit I've ever read, and that's saying something.

Probably the same clueless monkey who crafted their website and has a full-size graphic where a thumbnail should be. Guess I'll be steering clear of them, unlike the sucker who buys that one.

Yep, used that type a lot, over the years. They're far superior to a simple soldered joint for automotive use, in that the shrink gives support to the joint and the wire strands don't snap, as is common with soldered joints through vibration.

If you look at the ebay item, you can see the brake cut-out cables and the ad states the max speed is 15mph.

Oh well; perhaps I misjudged him - otoh, perhaps he realised the neg publicity that was being generated :)

I also am amazed at the attitude of the pub owner - I would think not many pubs are in the position of being able to alienate potential customers. Silly, silly man. Second thoughts; he's obviously just a fool - many country pubs make a regular living from being on routes like this; cycling...

Last year I swapped my original-fit Cure-for-Haemorrhoids for a Velo Far East (anag) sprung saddle and was as pleased as Punch with it, especially after fitting the fat tyre on the rear - the two combined now enable me to float like a butterly, utterly. I've just bought a Brooks B66 - I'll see...
