Luckily a fairly safe town in the first place, plus a yard surrounded by impassible walls and a big, heavy, locked gate. :-)

Having bought the bike, and the numerous extras needed (lights, lock, helmet, mudguards, etc.), this morning was pencilled in as my first ride-to-work day. Happily, was dry - but pretty cold. Set out, my front light doing everything d8veh promised for it in the dark, no actual ice as far as I...

Am trying to imagine a drone delivering the parcels that have arrived for me this week: 10" circular saw, mudguards, cycle lock, front and rear lamps, and a few other things All in winds topping 60 mph and torrential rain. And then just leaving the goods out there? Or expecting us to go out and...

Thank you - very helpful. Rethinking a little - we might indeed want the "light off road" use - there are some lovely paths round here. Just to give immediate feedback - would have preferred: Brighter colour! Hub gear Battery not over rear wheel. This is just because we both dislike the look of...

Partner is considering an ebike. She is about 5' 3" Stepthrough necessary - or possibly a very low trapezium/mixte. Has issues which make a throttle desirable - might not be essential but wouldn't wish to block the option in future. The light operation of hydraulic disc brakes would be...

Though acetylene (carbide) lamps could be blindingly bright - and were used on bicycles. You can go buy one right now: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Powell-Hanmer-Revenge-Bicycle-Lamp-carbide-acetylene-/132451663041

You could be right about one cell. Last failed lead acid I returned to the shop as it was within warranty. On counter, put their tester onto it, looks fine. Then he did it again as I looked so surprised - almost completely dead. At most, it had been slid a few inches across the counter. I...

As someone also in the thyroid camp, I urge you to seriously consider that a likely cause. Commonly found alongside thyroid (as well as separately), low vitamin B12 levels are also common - and can cause all sorts of nerve issues. Not wanting to make this a health forum - feel free to contact...

Selle Moderate 60 - more a case of what looked feasible that I could get locally than a properly considered purchase. Had always expected to change it, but the original was worse (for me) than I had expected.

Very helpful - thank you.

Brand new to ebikes, and haven't cycled at all for years. So not going to make significant changes until I understand things better - and have got fitter. But I did change the saddle - as supplied it seemed only there to stop the seatpost being seriously dangerous. :-) Have to say, the comfort...

HMRC's pages about the values, countries, etc. are here: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad For various reasons, many people I am in regular contact with receive goods from abroad. One product could be genuinely from about £2 to £40 from abroad. But, for complex reasons, about £250 in...

You can get an 80 Nm sync drive (Yamaha) on a Giant bike within your budget.

Can't get more amateur than me. :-)

I don't know! What is on the tyre to identify the version?

The blue used for the mock up that has been widely reported is a very different colour to the old blue-verging-on-black of old passports. Which seems a very odd decision.

I am a very frequent visitor to another (completely unrelated) forum. The people who provide the platform claim they use a fancy AI system for adding keywords to posts for indexing purposes. That AI system most certainly appears able to create irrational "moves" - often producing what appear to...

Having just acquired a bike with 2.6 inch Rocket Rons, but no experience of riding it yet, I have already realised there are some issues. For example, it is difficult to find a simple floor stand that will take them. (So I will be making my own...) And I have my doubts about several local bike...

Have to make it past the Preselis. :-)

Even the road where I work is around 1 in 4. The coffee shop (downstairs) had a special oak bench made with legs at one end much longer than the other end. I am perfectly happy with the idea of riding in the rain - I expect it - but it would be so nice to have a few dry hours to get used to it...
