    Final limit at 250 watts EU ruling

    The point I was getting at was about the restriction being there for "safety reasons". When there are plenty of cyclists travelling on pretty heavy unmodified bikes at above the assist max level set for e-bikes with no restrictions or special conditions / restrictions it doesn't follow logically...

    Woosh/Funkylyn Collaboration......

    :eek: I thought there were already plenty of unisex bikes on the market. They're called step-throughs ! PS - Lynda and Hatti are lovely but they want their comfortable shoes back !

    Chain cleaning tool issues

    Interesting - mine has an Impulse drive not a Panasonic but presumably the same principles apply ? I looked at the chain guard but couldn't be bothered to take it off because it's fiddly and involed taking a spanner to the fixing nut which was tucked away on the inside of the frame right behind...

    Bike workstands for pedelecs

    Good news - mine was only dispatched today (:mad:) but have a Fedex tracking on it so hopefully by the end of the week before I go away ! That looks great - just the job for the everyday basics. Was hoping to find a cheap 2nd solution to stash in Devon as I can't afford to buy 2 stands or...

    Brightest possible front light

    Caph, I am still waiting for mine (hopefully arriving soon). Trying to find out if the lens is the same diameter as the 1-led units or larger, which is proving to be difficult to do before receiving it and checking against my own. If you get a chance could you compare them and see if they are...

    Final limit at 250 watts EU ruling

    I'm at a complete loss reading this. Unless I am cycling from traffic light to traffic light or taking on a hefty hill, my speed is hardly ever below 15mph (more usually 16-19mph on flat to moderate hilly and easily up to 30mph+ on a DH in a higher gear), and my bike can hardly be described as...

    Be Seen - Stupid or not

    Are they the same ones who hide behind tinted glass windows on white BMWs fitted with dual exhausts and pretend to be 18 ?

    Be Seen - Stupid or not

    How very cynical ! Presume you can turn them off / replace with valve caps if leaving your bike for any time ...

    Be Seen - Stupid or not

    Not sure of the build quality of either but these are available at substantially less from Amazon : Blue Neon Car Bike Bicycle Tyre Wheel Valve Led Light: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics ... or these with slightly better reviews ...

    Winter Gloves

    Some really big discounts at Planet X at the moment and bargains to be had. I'm not obsessed with gloves because I like wearing them - it's because I dislike wearing them, especially so if they cause clammy hands or restrict sensation in my fingers. But they're a necessary evil for warmth and...

    Brightest possible front light

    Went weak at the knees at the very thought of fighting back against undipped car headlights and ordered one. Does anyone know if these are likely to have the same 39mm dia. lens as the 1000 / 1200LM-style CREE XM-L T6 LED lights ? Might enable me to use it as a back-up front light on lowest...

    Whats the Best Lubricant

    What electrics do you use it on, Steve ? Everything electrical bar the battery connectors seem to either be integrated into an LCD display or hidden in the frame of my bike so not sure if there is something that I should be 'treating' :confused:

    Bike workstands for pedelecs

    Good move ... the 2-year old used one on e-bay went for £97.06 ! :eek: so my £83.50 delivered is looking like a bargain by comparison ... at least it looks like there's a decent resale market so they will hopefully hold their value pretty well.

    Chain cleaning tool issues

    Finally managed to clean the chain today ... after : 1. Hoisting the carrier mount from a downpipe bracket (no ropes long enough so chain at 45 degrees / tool didn't work as cleaner just spills out); 2. inverting the bike having undone a load of accessories (fancy chain guard bracket in the...

    Whats the Best Lubricant

    Went down to my local Tesco superstore earlier to get some too .. not on the shelves ! :eek: .. free delivery to store for collection next day off that link though :cool:. Using Shimano Wet Lube on the chain itself.

    Grease.

    Agree.. I think the film is great - especially so on the Big Screen. Bonus trivia for the day .. the bit where he drives into the car park after MI6 building is blown up was filmed at Great Suffolk Street Warehouse (i.e. Car Park !), scene of the odd weekend party or two in slightly more recent...

    Bike workstands for pedelecs

    Weakened and bought a Park Tool PCS-10 off Amazon. Used / like new for £80 which I think is a bit of a bargain (though a lot more than I'd wanted to pay to be fair, but just don't have the time to make one at the moment and the garage is full to overflowing so working in there is out of the...

    Bike workstands for pedelecs

    Spotted this on Halfords website ... if the bike isn't too heavy looks like it might be sufficiently adjustable to cope. You get 20% off if you buy on-line and collect in-store and they're usually pretty good about letting you open up and check it's compatible with your bike (if not it gets...
