    131 Kilowatt Bike !!!!!!

    I remember attending a crash involving one of these bikes and then searching for the rider's head with a thermal image camera.

    Pro Connect Chain Wheel - Sourcing one !

    Hi timelordUK I'm curiuos as to why you are replacing your sprockets and chain so frequently. My Pro Connect is still using the original parts and has covered over 9000 miles. What sort of symptoms does your bike exhibit which leads you to change these parts? The reason that I ask is...

    iPhone app - Runkeeper

    If you go onto the support site via the Runkeeper web page you will see all of the issues regarding distance accuracy. There are quite a few. The Runkeeper feedback on the App store is censored so isn't a true reflection. I know its partially free, but there is a paid version. That aside, it...

    Top 9 Jokes at Edinburgh Festival

    Yesterday, through the dividing wall, I thought I could hear my neighbours making love. There was loads of banging, crashing, moaning and even some weeping. As it turns out, they weren't making love at all. It was in fact one of their elderly parents falling downstairs and she was banging on...

    iPhone app - Runkeeper

    I have been using this App for some time to log my running activities. It logs distance, time, route, Calorie burn, pace and saves them on a web interface which can be shared. However, there is one snag. The GPS distance measurement is hideously inaccurate and because virtually all of the other...

    Why do people think 25km/h speed limitation is safe?

    Exactly Trevor, I made this point earlier in the thread. My hydraulic rim brakes are capable of throwing me over the handlebars in the dry or causing the front wheel to skid from under me in the wet. The only differnce that I can see is that the disc brake will achieve this with less pressure on...

    Windows PC to Mac

    That's a good deal in Parallels 6. I paid more than that for the upgrade from 5 to 6. Anyway, pleased to hear you have your accounting software up and running.

    Why do people think 25km/h speed limitation is safe?

    I'm aware of the principles of levers, coefficients of friction, force, area, torque and all that sort of thing. I am also aware that if I squeeze my front brake lever hard in dry weather, my rim brakes will lock the front wheel thus pitching me over the handlebars and I will land on my head. If...

    Tonaro,simply the best

    And the motor which clears rain off my old Land Rover windscreen. But I do like the Tonaro and would like to try one out more than any other ebike at the moment.

    A Crank Call

    There have been plenty of interesting things arriving on the ebike market, but none have tempted me. I like the look of the Bosch, it's neat, it's compact and the battery placement results in a more normal looking bike frame, all of which I do like. I've never ridden one, but the power phase...

    A Crank Call

    I hope that it's a big enough change to tempt me away from my 2008 vintage Pro Connect. Nothing has come along so far, but David's interesting account certainly sounds promising.

    I am so sad......

    You are the boss, sort of. Without wanting to sound like a sycophant, your length of membership, number of posts and breadth knowledge command a level of respect that many other members don't enjoy. Some will disagree, but many more will agree with me. Sometimes I want to disagree with what you...

    I am so sad......

    Nicely put points Brian. As I have said earlier, you can't take these personal attacks or comments from other forum members to heart. You don't know anything about them, they know nothing about you. A forum is a place where make-believe people meet and sometimes talk about real issues. That...

    Windows PC to Mac

    Yes, that would be fine. I don't think that MS Money has been supported for quite some time now. I just want something that will allow me to import my old Ms Money files and to download new statements from my bank so that I have a searchable database. Sometimes it can be useful to retrieve...

    Windows PC to Mac

    This was one of the reasons why I installed Windows / Parallels. A bit of an overkill, but it works very well and Windows doesn't conflict with OSX at all. I have been using MS Money to archive all of my financial transactions in a searchable format for over 10 years, so its difficult to make...

    I am so sad......

    I think this is a good point and probably explains why forum skirmishes break out. When you venture onto a forum you are a faceless and anonymous quantity to other members and you almost have an opportunity create a new personality for yourself. Because of this, inhibitions, self consciousness...

    How dare you speak of my wife in this way. I demand that you withdraw the remark.

    A Crank Call

    Could the cat be out of the bag? The new Kalkasonic drive system. I just hope the Wisper Crank drive never comes to fruition.
