You seem to be in pursuit of all the disadvantages of a moped combined with all the disadvantages of an ebike. From what you say, something which runs on petrol would be your best option.

Thank eddieo, that's a very kind offer. I'm a bit to far away to collect it though. I'm sure they will come around again in the future. Regards Tom

I've missed out on this stand. After trying three different Lidls, all after 11:00 am, every one said that they had sold out just after opening time. Thanks for the picture. Now I know what I am missing. I'm not sure that Mrs T would be at all please if I brought the bike within 5 metres of...

I made the change to a Mac earlier in the year. After many years of Windows usage, my patients finally ran out. The endless security updates, re-boots, lock ups and other crud made it a hateful experience. I have had to install Parallels and Windows 7 on the Mac though as I occasionally need...

My camera works on my iMac. It just shows up as an external memory device.

Why would you want to disguise the battery? Is it because you think that the battery is ugly and that it spoils the look if the bike? Or is it because a bike fitted with a battery doesn't conform to what you expect a bike to look like? Finally, are you slightly embarrassed to be riding an...

I think you are right. The video quality is very good though and I can live with the fault as I won't use it very much anyway. For a few pounds, it isn't worth the effort of returning it.

I have had one of these from 7 Day Shop and have tried a 16 GB card in it. They do work. The only criticism that I have is regarding the LED which is supposed to indicate what the camera is doing. I have found the following to be the case: Charging: Blue LED on Power on: Blue LED on...

I just tend to use the bike and not worry too much about logging charges. When the battery was new, it would easily do a round trip of 20 miles, which is the distance from my house to work and back. Now, the last battery charge level light will be flashing about 4 miles from home and I can...

32 miles isn't bad on a 19 tooth rear sprocket set on medium power. My 20 month old, 5500 mile-ish Panasonic battery wouldn't achieve that sort of range (I use an 18 tooth sprocket). I might just be able to squeeze into the 30 mile range through a combination of low power and switching off.

I don't know anything about these bikes, but that 3 year battery guarantee is impressive. Does any other manufacturer offer anything approaching that?

They have to be worth a try at £30 and a three year guarantee. I think I'll have one.

Quite a few of the GATSO boxes are empty. There are more GATSO sites than there are cameras, so they move them around in the belief that the empty box still act as a deterrent to speeding. It's quite likely that you have just happened to be passing one of the empty ones when you expected to...

Does the heart rate monitor come with a chest band? Thanks Tom

Yes, I've heard it said that when child labour is used, the quality of the workmanship does tend to suffer.

There are some very attractive sheep in Derbyshire and my dog sorts out all of the good looking ones for me. So the laughs on you!

£950 + £395 (Battery) = £1345 It looks like a 24 spoke beastie so that would have been about £1495 new, so a saving of £150 :rolleyes: Plus whoever buys it can look forward to wallet pain when the rear wheel wears out. Probably a non-starter even at the initial price of £750

I've caved in and ordered one too. I want to strap it my dog to see what sheep herding looks like from his point of view.

I don't know Eddie. I have done 1000s of miles on the original chain and sprockets without a hint of trouble. My gear system is the Alfine hub gear though, which I think uses a slightly more hefty chain. I could be wrong about the chain, but I'm sure someone will put me right if I am. I think...

From what you say, chain tension could well be the problem. Wear in the drive is unlikely after just 1000 miles. Have you checked the chain guide at the motor end? I remember a few people reporting that the pivot bolt became loose on their bikes. (I am assuming the S has a front tensioner /...
