    Space Blanket Poncho and Sock Liners on-bike winter insulation

    Well *don't* get Columbia "waterproof" trainers, they leak like sieves! Their lined overtrousers are OK, so far. Plus thermals when it gets frigid. Plus Aldi "Ski" gloves. Fluoro work jacket from Sports direct OK, so far Got Aldi Safety boots, waterproof, but too heavy to walk comfortably in, so...

    Iron Nitride Motor Magnets

    I see "Iron nitrides also make the strongest naturally magnetic material. " and "iron nitride, Fe2N decomposes under loss of molecular nitrogen at around 400 °C " I hope that means a workable material similar to Ferrite/Ceramic magnets?

    Iron Nitride Motor Magnets

    Are these Iron Nitride magnets really better, or is it hype? The tech was supposedly discovered in the 50's. If so, it's taken a lo-ong time to develop! NIRON company from 2015-ish Murray-Smith "30% less magnet required, 10-15% less weight, or up to 3 times the power for same cost per kilo"...

    Current pricing is likely a bargain compared to pricing in 3 months time

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    Yes, it does work, even with dead display still attached. So controller still working, and pas (in default medium), and throttle. So thanks to d8veh? And vfr400? and anyone else I've left out

    Where can I get a compatible replacement handlebar display for a Pendleton Somerby ebike? (King Meter 790 LED)

    Not sure where to put these pics, or if they are of any use. Everyone seems to be ditching their 790 for newer, better alternatives :-) . There is a screw under the label on front if you are opening it *non-destructively*! (Mine is already faulty) :-0 ( it is 6 wire, with light switch type...

    Or Dual Battery mod for DOUBLE the fun, hehe! ;-) But is it really the "Plus" without a triple tree fork?

    Naughty, but nice! Did I post this link before? I always follow Naomi's reviews closely ;-) If it had a scooter seat for Two riders option, better, yes? (Btw - Did the tilting trike bike get pedal/chain drive?)

    Looking for LiPo pouch cells or a ready made 36v cell pack to fit a silverfish case

    It's a Woosh Gale folder from 2015. Now going on It's 2nd battery. Hope I can get more 'silverfish' battery fittings, so can swap battery between bikes. Got a 28in rear wheel kit on order from Yosepower, tho I wish they did anodised alloy front wheels, so would match front :-)

    Looking for LiPo pouch cells or a ready made 36v cell pack to fit a silverfish case

    I went with Yosepower through Amazon.de, coz I'm in Ireland. Silverfish battery came really quick and is working fine, albeit extra delivery charge for here. (I think free delivery only applies to Germany or mainland). Only snag was that the EU battery charger had a euro plug, so I swap lead...

    Easi-fit Ebike front hub kit

    Big hidden battery is a plus. I wouldn't have a clue how to lace a wheel, did you learn it? Were the spokes ordered as per a calculator or cut your own? Kudos for keeping it so original!

    Review Anti-theft. Possibly for those who have very expensive bikes or even.......

    Seems it saved one bike, though if it wasn't video's & an off duty cop hadn't happened by!

    Which kit for Raleigh DL-1?

    Nice work, in right place at right time.. +1 A steel frame will outlast any alloy frame as they dont suffer from fatigue (apart from Bromptons :-( ).. +2 Those wide, cream tyres go well with a black frame.. +3 Step-thru frames get my vote, keeps out of my way. With dropper post for shorter...
