Was wondering about the beam pattern. I fitted a diffuser onto both my cree XML lights and the pattern was far better on the road than without. The diffuser pattern can be seen on the comparative pic above. Will look around for one now that the diameter can be ascertained but might be tricky to...

It's the only time I can take over the kitchen for my projects ;) .. and have to clear it all up before bed to avoid a 'domestic' ... so it's nice to finish a job if I start one. The feel-good factor compensated for the 2 1/2 hours' sleep ! Fantastic - great to know there are options. It's...

Right, I have set aside all trepidation and christened the soldering iron. Connector duly made with bridge wire from a defunkt laptop lead as my first soldering job after practicing on a few bits of power cord wire, watching several videos and making every mistake in the book before going for...

Be interested to hear how the Agattu Impulse compares to the Bosch on that Neo 29er rather than a 20". Is the 29er bike performance similar to the Neo Extrem etc ?

Oh for access to a carpentry and metalworking workshop on an hourly basis ... could do so much so easily with it all to hand as you just go look for what seems best for the job :). Hey ho .... will muddle through !!

Ho de ho ..... nice work there. Scroll or jig ? Am on the verge of doing the jig actually .... strike up the band .... Jobs foreseen are : Woodworking on bike box. Cutting ply and balsa and grooves in internal compartments etc. Can probs use a hacksaw for most of it come to think of it buy...

Excellent - thanks for that. Plenty of old mains leads in the appliance graveyard box I'm sure.... Are these the Deans connectors you can use in place of the kettle plugs on the lead exiting the battery and connector in pic 2 above ? 5 PAIRS GOLD PLATED GRIP DEANS CONNECTORS T PLUGS | eBay

Wissy, I am 5' 7", 30" inside leg measured to floor and have the Kalkhoff medium with the seat on its lowest possible position. I still find the bike feels big even though I measured within the parameters for it. If your Boardman was a Porsche this would be a stretch limo and the frame tubing...

Been to 3 electrical shops, an automotive shop on the industrial estates and a model making shop this afternoon and not one of them had any thin red wire. :mad: ... obviously not shopping in the right places :o I think I may be better off shopping from my desktop and waiting ! Anyhoo ... any...

Nice to see more younger members seeing the light :). You can learn a great deal about them in a very short space of time when needs must ;). I hadn't riden a bicycle for over 18 years until September last year when car was disposed of and bikes became main form of transport. Probably been on...

wurly, can you post up some info on how to rig up a variable brightness setting switch and a fuse for this ? Am I right in assuming that the power lead from battery to controller will need a splitter inserted to take power to the light or is there some other way of connecting to the battery ...

Picture 1 The top pic is a mock up of the spare white connector with 2 pins only inserted facing the connector coming out of the controller. The black and red wires feeding in from the right are 12AWG 200degreesC bought off e-bay. Black to Black and red to red (all thick wires) Picture 2...

Been reading d8veh's very helpful guidance on this and also the discussions in ian85's thread. Before rushing off to heat up a soldering iron and finally conquer my trepidation on that front (or more likely watch the video on how to set up a suitable safe environment for indoor soldering...

The manufacturers should help the dealers out with demo kit. I know why small retailers can't absorb the cost of demo bikes but that doesn't help getting bikes sold. Without being overly unsympathetic - the fact a dealer is small and can't afford to offer demonstrators doesn't help me as a...

It's a very good question and one I spent ages deliberating over. The bike spec is a bit tastier. HS33 rather than HS11 brakes, nicer saddle, Verso III Magnesium TnL rather than Suntour fork. It's also in Mondobrown rather than black/white - which I think is very classy but you either like or...

OK. Thanks. In stock and ordered. :cool:

With some of these inner tubes inside ... Michelin C4 Protek Max Tube ;) I definitely wouldn't be cutting corners after being bitten once and winding up with a taxi bill.

Just about to order the Magura switch to fit on Shimano hydraulic disc brake cable. Found this on-line installation guide ... it does say on there that the pressure switch works as a closer and that the "console of the motor" (controller ?) would "eventually have to be reprogrammed to detect the...

Just seen this amazing cyclocross bike virtually as new go for £2k on e-bay (would have cost £6k from a shop) : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yeti-ASR-c-Carbon-XC-Team-Bike-Shimano-XTR-Fox-FIT-Mavic-Race-Face-Next-SL-TI-/130836891118?ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1123 A load of used road bikes...

Hoping to file my way out of Broadmoor if everything goes pear shaped on the road one day :p
