I'm with Geebee - 25quid or so for a tire is worth it to avoid injury

I hear you - though I i've yet to get drifting round corners ;)

Sure, I'll try to a little clearer. so Yes, your rims should take 1.5 as generally MTB rims will take 1.5 to 2.1 As regards "great improvement in performance" - what exactly do you mean ? better grip, better rolling resistance, better puncture resistance, better absorption of bumps (i.e...

I belive you should be able to fit anywhere between 1.5 and 2.1 but your prob best of just giving oxygen a ring to be 100% sure they'll be a noticablly less comfortable - or I'd expect that

I have settled on Continetal Travel Contact as my favorite. They are not quite as bullet proof as Schwalbe Marathon Plus but they roll better, are lighter and grip better. Just MHO of course

I should say I also previously hacked some LEDs onto a pair of gloves . Abject failure as could not get switching right Also both no good in daytime - only at night

This is clearer

@mophix and cwah. I picked up those exact lights at a car bootie for 50p I then stripped out the electrics inside and rehoused inside an old leather selle monte manapole grip ( I recently got a new set) Crucially I replaced the 2 x aa with one 3.7v cr123a battery. LEDs are way brighter ...

John, I'm not in any rush, was not intending to make any purchase until end of November , just getting my research done!

Thanks for the update there John Well let me know if , once you've tested, you feel like parting it with it ! Otherwise not doubt you let us know as and when you are happy to start selling in general

I feel you might be somehow insinuating something ? Well I guess the answer is, when i am spending a big chunk of cash for me, i just like to know what I'm buying as its central to the result I'm after. I completely take on board what you said in another post - the cases are generic , it's...

Well, you hit the nail on head (along with d8veh and old dave) re these chinese sellers. I'm just not happy to spend that amount of money when, in reality, I cannot rely on anything very much written in the advert. IT does say 30a continous in the short form spec. A little further down is...

Morning all So a few months back these were not available - only 9ah which is what I have. Mine has panasonic cells which i thought were ok - turns out not so great. Capacity is fine but suffers from pretty bad voltage sag. In part becuse its 9ah (thanks to D8veh for explianing why that is)...

Maybe it's just a price and weight issue . Easy to get a brand new 30ah lifepo4 from Ping for 971 USD inc shipping (around 600 quid). It's 11.5kg

Thanks flecc - do I cross my fingers for tonight or do you only go for Saturdays ! :)

A123 Systems becomes America's latest EV battery maker to file for bankruptcy -- Engadget must be some knock-on effects for ebike indusrty

if I only I had the readies Eddieo - this almosts represent my perfect bike which would be a a titanium framed, 29er hardtail with Alfine 11 and bosch drive (8ah before but since there is a 11ah avaiable I'll add it to the "if i win the lottery" wish list"*) *albeit pointless as I don't...

Should do, only a small voltage drop. Might be a fraction quieter or a slight change in sensitivity I've also ordered one - at the price of a pint inc p&p it has to be worth a shot :)

My drag was in part due to the motor but in part due to poorly setup pads rubbing. Hard to know which was worse but all fixed Use my bike everyday for commute. And love it everyday too Yes you can get better but for the money with a uk guarantee I'm not convinced you can get better value

Yes Eddieo .......but you can't actually buy them for reasons I know not
