    Kalkhoff Pro Connect. Impressive range.

    Do you feel superior now Rob? Has this lesson in grammar filled a void in your life and made you feel slightly less inadequate?

    Chris Evans & Top Gear

    Chris, " re Top Gear, I can categorically say that I am not and will NEVER be running for office" Evans, is to be the new Top Gear host. Another programme destroyed by the Ginger Clown. Any guesses for who the token woman will be? The Beeb have been waiting to socially re engineer this...

    Drink drive

    If your electric bike is legal (15 MPH cut out and all of the other trimmings), then in the eyes of the law it is a pedal bicycle. You can't lose your driving licence for riding a pedal bicycle whilst drunk. There is an offence of being drunk in charge of a pedal cycle, but to commit that...

    Cheapest Bosch bike?

    .....and having dealt with Martin, it would be worth paying a bit extra for the comfort of knowing that you have a reliable dealer to contact should anything go wrong. Pro-Cycling Golla are good for the items that are difficult to find in the UK. I have bought bit and bobs from them and they...

    HELP - Can not tighten RHS crank arm - Kalkhoff Endeavor ???

    Unsurprisingly, these sorts of problems seem to have arisen since Kalkhoff upped the power of their motors whilst simultaneously weakening the drive chain. On my older Panasonic powered Kalkhoff bike with its 8 speed hub gear and 1/8 chain, these problems don't exist and you can expect thousands...

    50 CYCLES A WARNING no quibble guarentee

    I've had my Kalkhoff for seven years now. The original battery lasted for six years and covered about 17,000 miles. The battery is still usable but struggles to get beyond 15 miles on a full charge. I have had mixed customer service from 50 cycles, mostly the service has been excellent but that...

    London Road Rage

    I wonder what the sum total of the blood pressure for all those present equals? I bet it's somewhere in the region of stroke to heart attack within five years. Everyone's a loser.

    50 CYCLES A WARNING no quibble guarentee

    I'm not saying that this is the case with 50 Cycles, but proceed with caution before accepting this loan battery. Find out exactly what the loan battery is in terms of age, capacity, use etc. It may also be beneficial for you to agree on a time scale to rectify the situation and what the...

    Breaking Bad

    Get yourself something similar to one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/DroidPlayer-Android-Media-Player-Streamer/dp/B00FCK8APA Install Kodi (it used to be called XBMC) and then install the iStream plug-in and OD on as many TV Series box sets and films as you like. No subscription needed. But...

    How many bike can you get via cycle scheme?

    If your employer hands the administration of the scheme over to Cyclescheme, Cycle to Work or one of the other operators,I believe that you can have a bike every 12 months. Although I suspect that you still technically have the original on hire for the next 3 years.

    HELP - Can not tighten RHS crank arm - Kalkhoff Endeavor ???

    Im not really familiar with the Endeavour. Is it a 400 Watt motor with derailluer gears?

    HELP - Can not tighten RHS crank arm - Kalkhoff Endeavor ???

    Why have you not done so already? If it's only 6 months old it is still under warranty and if there is some sort of manufacturing defect, they will rectify it. I may be wrong, but from your messages I get the impression that you aren't what used to be called, a Fitter by trade. Someone with a...

    Nearly lost my new sunglasses

    This is bright enough for daytime running and I use it all the time on my electric bike. http://bikerayuk.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_61&product_id=66 It's a bit costly, but unlike LED front lights, rear light prices don't seem to have fallen much. This light is seriously...

    Nearly lost my new sunglasses

    I have to agree with this. The fact that you had right of way is not in question, you did. I know that wide angle lenses give the impression that objects are further away than they actually are, but the car started its manoeuvre 4 to 5 seconds before you hit it. It was obvious that the car was...

    What Election Result would have been with PR

    I think Labour's days are over in the medium term. I certainly don't think that they will be elected at the next general election unless they have a total overhaul of policy and shadow ministers. They should be representing most of us who use this forum (those who go out and earn a wage or those...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    Whilst there is no doubt that some drivers have a shocking lack of regard for cyclist either through deliberate acts or carelessness (I suspect the latter in most cases), I have never gone after the culprit on the offensive. I can't see the point, other than it may vent a certain amount...

    Gadget Show tonight

    I don't think that consumer type programmes work on commercial television. The commercial broadcasters rely on advertising revenue so it's difficult for them to revue a product that either is, or is a potential revenue generator for them. The Beeb are better placed to make product testing...

    Bike Cameras. The Negatives and Positives of using them

    The police do not punish people, their job is to collect evidence and facts and to present the information to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). They (CPS) then decide if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute and if the do, successfully, the court system issues the penalty in accordance...

    UKIP Manifesto

    I have to disagree over your opinion that the policy is lunacy. Re deploying highly trained and disciplined men and women retiring from the armed forces into the prison service, border agency and police seems an excellent and sensible use of their skills and training. These are the people we owe...
