    Kalkhoff Pro Connect on eBay - Aberystwyth

    Upon closer inspection, I think you are right. Although the front wheel still looks like a 24 spoke job to me.

    Kalkhoff Pro Connect on eBay - Aberystwyth

    It looks like one of the early 24 spoke wheel models. That is probably why the rear wheel have been re-built. I can't see if it has been re-built to a 24 spoke specification, but if it has, I'd be cautious.

    Display behaving strangely - Kalkhoff Sahel C8 Pro Disc 2011

    Sorry, for some reason I thought that you had purchased it new from a dealer and that it was under warranty. Obviously, you may not recover the cost of sending the bike back or any repair work, depending on the circumstances. It's definitely worth trying another battery before going to the...

    Display behaving strangely - Kalkhoff Sahel C8 Pro Disc 2011

    Your only option may be to send the bike to one of Kalkhoff's agents. It will be reasonable for you to expect reimbursement of any costs incurred sending the bike back. Although my Kalkhoff is older than yours, I believe that the handlebar display is driven from circuit boards within the motor...

    Bicycle Alarm & Pager

    Well it becomes even more bizarre now. I had part read that thread, but have just been back in and read the remainder. What I find most odd is that themutiny hadn't contributed anything until he launched a completely unwarranted post, most of which consisted of criticising Jeremy. What is he...

    Lyndas tablet/laptop dilemma update......

    They are out in red, sort of, when you fit a Smart Cover The memory really isn't a problem. I have a 32 GB iPad and wish I'd saved a bit of money and bought the 16GB version. After nearly 2 years I have only used 4GB and that goes up and down, peaking at 4GB. Services such as iCloud, Dropbox...

    Bicycle Alarm & Pager

    I've just had a quick look at the offending posts. In fact, I have read the entire thread and something is clearly escaping me. There isn't anything offensive, condescending, overly complex or belittling in there at all. I have a background in mechanical engineering, but I have tried to look at...

    Bicycle Alarm & Pager

    I have a few questions. 1) Who has shown you the, "yellow card" and told you to, "dumb down" the content of your posts? 2) What was the reason given for (1) above? 3) Has something happened / been posted to prompt this? 4) How was this, "order" communicated? 5) Is there any...

    Helmet camera

    Save your money and put it towards a taser and a hatchet. These two articles will enable you to put forward your perspective of the incident in a way which the reviewing video footage will never be able to achieve.

    Bully's special prize.

    They are great for people who genuinely can't get around. I know several elderly people, two in their 90s, who are able to retain their independance, so they are marvellous for them. However, I agree, it is a sad and depressing sight to see young people, who would more than likely benefit from...

    Bully's special prize.

    Yes, I've just looked at their website. They seem to have gone for the mobility scooter market and abandoned the bikes. Mobility scooters do seem to be getting ever more popular and the number of younger people using them seems to be increasing as well.

    Bully's special prize.

    Someone who lives near to me owns one of these and I regularly see it around town. It climbs hills with impressive speed on throttle alone and seems to be on a par with modern bikes in terms of general performance. Perhaps no wonder it stayed in production for so long.

    Urgent Help re electric bike law.

    Putting the law to one side for a moment, there is a moral question here. If the sale was made as a result of the buyer responding to an advert which gave no suggestion that the bike was legal to use on a road / public place, then I would say that its their tough luck and that they should have...

    Bully's special prize.

    From my recollections of Bulls Eye, the programme always seemed to end with a depressed looking coal miner from Barnsley eying the speed boat that he, "could have won" whilst simultaneously proclaiming that he'd had a lovely day.

    Magicshine battery dying quickly

    I'll second that. My first light is still working well with the original battery. This new 3 LED light also works well, but the downside is that the battery does not have sufficient capacity to run it for more than an hour. This is a mis-match of light unit to battery issue rather than anything...

    Magicshine battery dying quickly

    With the 3 x LED lamp unit, I think that the battery which is supplied is too small. When used on level 2 (2 LEDs) it just about lasts for one hour. This isn't long enough for my trip too and from work, so I need to take a second battery with me. To get the best out of this light you will need...

    Happy Xmas

    Normally, I would wish you all a happy Christmas, but seeing as the world is due to come to an end later today, it isn't really worth it.

    Approved ebike list?

    An interesting graph, thanks for posting. The method certainly leaves scope to provide the bike with a useful amount of power, whilst at the same time allowing it to comply with the regulations. A glimmer of common sense. I can see how the Panasonic and Bosch systems can be used in conjunction...
