That's a very nice looking toolset - but way too expensive for what I can afford. Especially as a couple of torque wrenches are about £150 on top of that - it's the cost of a couple of sale bikes in all ! Basically, add in some vices, clamps etc and you're having to spend £700-odd to get a set...

^^ depending on the product you're buying, though, the item costs are competitive so these things usually pan out "near as" in the end. There may well be some of this going on but couriers are in fairness a total nightmare to deal with over cost management and very inconsistent on pricing over...

Never been disappointed with other stuff of theirs. Sounds like a plan. :) No .. I had the Youtube videos and the bike manual going, and checked 3 times before turning a spanner ! Always good to have things put into perspective. I do feel very sorry for him. Sounds like he might be...

I am hoping that DHL are decent about their charges ... just been screwed for an additional $48.00 shipping because BMS say the courier option selected is not possible (Fedex) on account of shipment containing a battery and they are sending by DHL instead. They could have told me that when I put...

I'll take a look. Bought this as managed to get it for £28 with the on-line purchase / collect-in-store offer : http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_522915_langId_-1_categoryId_242558 ... but the cassette lockring tool and chainwhip...

This is the one I got, which worked with my foot-pump : http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/weldtite-woods-to-schrader-type-adaptor-prod19405/ It'll tide you over till you pluck up the courage to change the tubes ;). Went through exactly the same thought process about the tyre pressures and these...

Am getting a bit fed up with having to go to the bike shop to get help doing basic jobs on my bike. LBS tightened the Shimano replacement pedals I fitted to my Agattu having greased the threads when I took it in for a 1st tune... before admitting that they did not use tools which had torque...

Pair of Nokian Hakkappellitta W240s on e-bay : Suomi W240 studded Winter Tyres 700C 28" - Bike - Bicycle - Nokian 40-622 | eBay

Got some questions having looked at the brochure in that link ... (very neat design btw ... ) ... The battery appears mounted on the underside of the frame in a housing integral with or bolted on to the unit housing the mid-drive motor unit (please correct me if I'm wrong. Presumably this is...

You could get probably get your Trec powder-coated white for considerably less ;)

Interesting ... not that expensive compared to motors designed for 9 & 10-speed cassettes ! Is the motor you have geared or ungeared ? Apart from the frame of course, a lot of the cost of higher-end bikes is in the particular groupset fitted and consequential improvements in unpowered ride. If...

Schwalbe Marathon Plus ... or Continental Top Contact Winter II for times like now ...

What about one of these ... AMMACO PENNY FARTHING RETRO REPLICA MODERN VERSION JANUARY SALE PRICE | eBay

The older Panasonic Pro Connect were adaptable to have a throttle apparently capable of more than the 4mph walk-assist but this is not the case with the Impulse motor. XXL Agattus are crank-drive bikes meaning that you have to pedal to power the bike and it will deliver assistance in a range...

Have a chat with Frank too ... he may well be able to sort something for you as an alternative .... Welcome to Xipi

That Sirus Comp has got nice brakes but they are hydraulic discs (albeit not integrated brakes/shifter levers) - I assume you'd have a similar issue to overcome that I was asking about not so long ago - finding a neat way to make the motor cut out when brakes applied ? Perhaps regular eBrake...

It's financial suicide going to bike shops and looking at sparkly new toys - sometimes you've gold under your very nose :). You can get a full Ultegra groupset for £700 in the sales if you want a road bike setup. Why not look at doing something with the Trek ? Chances are you've got a decent...

The gear drop / increase spin technique also works with the Impulse crank drive near the assist speed limit (and I'm pretty sure some others)... both uphill and down - downhill, more spin, less pressure giving similar results to gearing up and sustaining pedal cadence. Or maybe that's already...

Or maybe the salesman in Camden Market said he'd have a hot bottom in a pair of those .... but he didn't quite read in what the guy really meant !

Not the best pick from the sale rack ..... does his wife know he's out in public wearing those ?
