:) :cool: ... I bought a file today for £2 from that machining firm ... but it's a bit on the large and rough side :eek: .. sent you a PM about the dremel clone kit .. Can you cut 1.6mm aluminium sheeting with cutters ? Am thinking a pair of these might be a worthwhile purchase....

Well, dropped off the torque arm to be cut, drilled and kinked for me. At the moment I don't have an electric drill, grinder or clamp and have even managed to mislay the hammer :rolleyes: .. so it seemed the sensible thing to do to keep things moving in the right direction. Was quoted £20 cash...

^^ you could always use it as shower gel :eek: :p

^^ was only today out looking for aluminium sheeting at a local engineering firm. They recommended I try the local scrapyard as apparently they often have loads of offcuts. Am slowly being taught the ways of doing things without shelling out top retail for everything :p :). d8veh, I like...

Try buying a road bike from most LBSs. Or Halfords for that matter. Chance of a test ride ? Absolutely zilch. I even offered to put up the full price of one of their Boardmans to try it out. Not a chance. You might get to spin one on some rollers - if they can be bothered to fit pedals on (which...

when in doubt search the Energy & Nutrition section on a Road Bike site ;) ... http://www.probikekit.com/uk/energy-nutrition/energy-recovery-gels/high5-sports-energy-gel-plus.html ... +1 (with caffeine) = free postage :) Paid £17.50 for mine off e-bay a couple of weeks ago as had to...

The BB to top of seatpost tube length limits the min. leg reach (42cm) - but with an adjustable seatpost you can easily raise the saddle if you need to. The top tube horizontal length is more important. There are plenty of sites showing how to measure your reach if you google. The small Scott...

It will be one in that style. The listing is clear that the picture denotes the mens' version but the womens' has an 'open frame' like that one. So obviously you won't like it if it's mens' bikes only on your list. Just don't put a big rack bag on the back of the bike if you get a bloke's unless...

The Scott is probably something like the "lady bikes" on here : E-Bike - SCOTT Sports There's full frame geometry if you click on the relevant tab and likely to be pretty close to the one linked via the other thread. ... what's with the aversion to step-throughs ? My MTB is a bloke's but my...

+ very good performance and a quality make. What more do you seek ?

That's a cracking deal, and a decent specced bike mechanically too (which makes a change !!!!!!!). If I were in wissy's position and buying on-spec I would just go for this and not think further on it considering all she has said to date. ;)

Shame ...still if you chuck in an 89p High5 energy gel or something like that it's not difficult to tip borderline free postage orders into qualifying free postage territory if necessary :).

^^ I remember having to use hand signals in Africa because the indicators didn't work half the time. Only thing is that you soon learned never to use a left hand signal because if you did half the village would come running over. You also learned not to believe any indicator or hand signal...

Your best bet is to drop down to low gear and ease off on the pedalling, just sit down, relax and climb with a steady cadence. I am very impatient and get frustrated if my speed drops below 8-10mph on steep climbs. Maintaining speed up hills requires a degree of fitness and lots of effort but...

... and now at £10 from probikekit in stock. Bargain : http://www.probikekit.com/uk/clearance/clearance-lights-security/smart-lunar-rear-dual-led-cycle-light.html

No problem on the hijack. Finished the wheel, Finally. 14 hours of learning later :eek: All destressed and final tensioning completed. Not perfect but few are I reckon ... checked the dish and it's very accurate. A little bit out on vertical trueness (not wildly though) .. beginners' curse ...

wissy, not that many regular commentators on here have actually owned Impulse bikes for significant periods and others who have tried it did so before they updated the software to eliminate some of the early issues which are endlessly dragged up whilst no longer being issues on any bikes sold...

Wissy, Kalkhoff Agattus use Impulse drive motors and do not come with throttles. If you want to get up hills without pedaling they will not suit you and if you have long steep hills they are very good climbers and very efficient on battery use, but you will still be getting fit again fast and...

Lol. May ye grow ever stronger as knowledge is both enlightenment and empowerment. Dunno what I'd do without the members of this forum and their imparted wisdom and guidance - certainly wouldn't be sat truing a wheel at ten to two in the morning, that's for sure ;).

^^ very interested too .. be great to have a front and rear set running off the bike battery then I have a full set of built-in with rechargeables being back-ups or vv, or additional lighting. I got a nice response from the supplier of the front one linked via the OP about 10 days ago in...
