Just been up to Tesco's and once again the only cycle on the site was mine. I even took a snap to prove it. Flickr: Photos from skmiles I tried posting the image on the forum but the forums software kept complaining about the size of the image - not big enough - size matters here...

Joe " .... what speed can you reach without it becoming too frantic on the legs?" No wish to hijack your thread UrbanPuma but I would be interested in the answer to this question too. I know it's not really fare to compare a folding bike with a fixed frame but it's an interesting point...

Thankyou flecc you solved the mystery of resetting the Cateye Velo8. One interesting point; I couldn’t find written instruction on how to do this in the instructions even with the aid of a magnifying glass. To make matters worse they are on a double-sided sheet (A3 in size) and in multiple...

I visited a couple of places (bike shops – all had plenty to fit standard frames) I even trawled the Internet. As I already had a set of panniers (on another bike) the rack had to be suitable for them – no way was I going to shell out £40 for a second set of panniers. In the end the rack came...

Am I in one of those minorities? I have been trying to add bits to my mountain style electric bike but it seems manufactures are still stuck on the standard bike frame design and many of the "off the shelve bits" don't fit. Has anyone had difficulties fitting a speedo to mountain style...

Like many here I too am seldom moved to rush to the front and be first. In fact I can honestly say there have been several times when I have deliberately held back to let someone else win – or at least that’s what they believe :) So perhaps this short little story may amuse. While pitting...

My Cateye Velo 8 Cycle Computer came today. It's a lot smaller than I expected. On the website it looked a lot bigger. I suppose it's like short people on TV always look taller :D Unfortunately, some bright spark had already fiddled with it and it was reading in Km. Thanks to flecc above...

Sorry to hear of your miss-fortune. If it’s any comfort, I remember bombing down a back road into town, one icy morning, and hitting frozen water run-off (going right across the road) from the fields. The bike went one way and I went the other. Unfortunately, I came to rest sitting in the only...

I have notice an underlying obsession with speed within the forum. ;) Unfortunately I have not been able to catch the speed bug because I don't have a speedo. So, based on the suggestions in this thread I have just visited Wiggle and ordered a Cateye Velo 8 Cycle Computer. I should then be able...

Thanks, I thought I would ask, just in case. Yeh - if only the battery did the same :) .

I have just noticed I have rust marks around the ends of the spokes going into the hubs and spindles on my ebike. I ride in the wet as its my only transport at the moment (campervan sorned and in back garden). I have never seen this before on any other bike. Is this normal these days or could...

Being a Residential School Caretaker can have its trials and tribulations. We are forever plagued by BMX’ers on the site out of hours. So …. Wouldn't It Be Great If They ... made a stinger for BMX bikes :D It would also need to be able to take out skateboards too :rolleyes: .

Thankyou Jeanette for the reassurance. As I said if this proposal effect’s the 'free to use' trail then there is no way I would support such a project – in fact I would varmintly oppose it. Unfortunately, too many times I have seen Wadebridge suffer in the past due to selfish minded schemes...

While I greet the news that a worthwhile cause (Connect2) will benefit from the peoples Lottery Fund money. I fear our local cycle route is facing a worrying future. Last Wednesdays local paper (Cornish Guardian) announced there are plans a-foot for the very popular Camel Trail section from...

I do the same (lock through the rear wheel, where the motor is) - but it's only because my cable lock is not long enough to go through the frame. I went for a £30 one from the local bike shop. It's heavy coil cable (anti-cut) and has a nice clamp holder that holds it on the bike when not in...

I am hoping to keep my bike for a while. I'm thinking the SLA battery should last me three maybe four years (I don't use the bike for commuting) and if everything else is all going well, renew the battery so I can ride some more :cool: PS: I still have my normal Mountain bike and it's 25...

Oh, I have just been promoted too – from Junior to Member – just passed the 30-post point maybe that’s it. Does that mean I will be taken more seriously :rolleyes: :D .

This is my whole point. Is it right that customers are crossing their fingers and hoping their bike batteries will not cut out on the next hill or even last 12 months - that is ridiculous state of affairs. This has been an ongoing problem that doesn't seem to be any nearer to being resolved...

I find the posts about the problems relating to the new battery technology disturbing. I may be wrong about this, but it seems to me that the manufactures have skipped the research and development and gone straight to production. Turning the customers who have bought their expensive products...

I'm not into importing electric bikes (I did import some oil paintings from China once but that was in another life) neither am I looking to be anyone's partner, but I may have a bit of info that might be useful to you in your search. My bike is an import from China (Cougar Sport) and I spent...
