I suppose it's a bit like buying a cover for your car or motorbike. You don't HAVE to buy one and cover it up. However, some people like the extra protection and I see these plastic covers as just that, a bit of extra protection if you want it. I won't be buying one because my bike is always...

A little harsh! It's not a bad idea for anyone who has to leave their bike outside.

I've never had this happen in two years of ProC ownership and a fair few thousand miles. If the battery wasn't inserted properly, I don't think the thing would work. Have you tried putting the battery on the bike, grabbing the carry handle on top of the battery and giving it a good shake...

If not more. Some of the waste is absolutely staggering. I think it was the Chief Constable of Essex who had the balls to say that generally, police forces have enough money to meet the demands placed on them, it was just that they weren't spending it correctly.

There are a couple of sets of traffic lights which I pass most days on my way to work. Both sets seem to be set to bias traffic coming out of the side roads onto the main road. When I approach them along the main road in my car and if they are on green with no other traffic in the vicinity, they...

I once saw a statement of similar profoundness to this. The author had written it on a wall using his finger as an instrument and his own excrement for ink. He was sat on the floor, close to his work, eating a fly. It's such a shame that the authorities aren't in possession of your wisdom and...

I have checked my, very nearly, two year old Pro Connect and there is no movement as you have described.

Of course, they were only there prosecuting people because, "they haven't got anything else better to do." It's a well known fact.

I use paraffin and a compressed airline to blast the dirt out of the links / dry the chain. Not everyone will have access to compressed air, but if you do, it does a great job. I followed Lloyd's tip of lubricating the chain with Halfords chain wax. I find it keeps the chain very clean and...

Nice video. I wanted to stop it a couple of times but couldn't find the paws button.

I think the cost of a replacement battery for your bike is very reasonable when you compare it to the cost of a replacement for a Panasonic motored bike. With the Panasonic motor, you can end up with the ridiculous situation whereby the new battery will set you back nearly 50% of the cost of a...

50 Cycles sell chains, £10.21 each. The are sold as Kalkhoff Chains, so I assume that they will be long enough.

I will be replacing all the sprockets and chain on my bike in the not too distant future. By far, the greates wear is on the smaller sprockets, motor followed by 18 tooth rear. I'm thinking that to achieve a greater life from the parts, would it be better to fit one of these 12 tooth motor...

This is probably a bit over budget, but it's a proper bike light with batteries and charger included. It's very bright and allows you to cycle at a reasonable speed with enough forward vis to stop in time for a hazard. DealExtreme: $77.21 HA-III SSC P7-C (SXO) 3-Mode 900-Lumen LED Bike Light Set

I'm sure your right. It certainly would make sense. I did hesitate to question your original post. I should have hesitated a little longer. ;)

I think Mattyduk is asking about the Pro Connect. I know the small Agattu comes with a 26" wheel, but didn't think that the same applied to the Pro Connect.

My Pro Connect has 27" wheels. I thought that they all had this size of wheel, not 26" MTB.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to replace an old Sony. Excellent aren't they. I think the Panasonic LX3 is the same thing as a Leica DLUX4, only the Leica costs 50% more than the Panasonic. Same thing with a different badge stuck on it. This is a bit like a Technium v Kalkhoff! ps...

Certainly a good bike at a very nice price. The battery still remains the real killer for ebikes though. We have the silly situation here where a new battery will cost 50% of the purchase price of the bike. That can't be right. Let's hope that competition will see battery bargains of a...

Glad you like the bike. It sounds like you have a real bargain. I take it that you donned a ski mask and disposable paper suit later that evening, then went back to the bus stop armed with a lump hammer and a large tent stake?
