    puncture resistant tyres

    So most are pointing towards the marathon plus tyres? I think they sound the best for me, in road riding so don't really want MYB tyres so I'll go for the road ones but what's people's views on the sealant stuff then? I have heard bad reviews saying they don't work, they bend the wheel frame...

    puncture resistant tyres

    Well everyone, I need some advice on finding some tyres for my bike that have a good chance of not being punctured every 5 second on my commute to work! Has anyone got any advice or can recommend any tyres that might be suitable for this? I have a 26" 2.1 MTB that I use for the road, I would...

    Panda conversion kits

    Yes where I ride is private land but off course getting there isn't, I can only ride safe, slow and be thoughtful of people and cars to not draw attention to myself but I understand if I get caught! I'm sure not sure if I should go for the 500 or 1000 as really the prices are the same but I...

    Panda conversion kits

    To convert or to buy new..

    of course I don't want it for the road, but I understand that even with the capability to go faster with it makes the bike not road legal.! It's just I can't afford two separate bikes, one for off-road and one for commuting! I guess I will go for the BBS01 250Watt and keep the legal side of...

    To convert or to buy new..

    Okay brilliant.! So I could technically have a legal ebike kit on my bike but have it set by the controller to not cut out at 15mph assist and keep it going? does that mean it will never cut off because I doubt I will ever get up to 30+ haha! How would I go about doing that with say the BBS01...

    To convert or to buy new..

    You really think so? I'm not to useless when it comes to actually tinkering as long as I don't come across something to much of a hit in the face! I mean my bike is pretty decent, probably just needs a new chain as its a little old! Does anyone know a good website to order a kit from? Befang...

    To convert or to buy new..

    what video may the be?? :) I would love to go down this route, then I would feel the bike is truly mine but even coming to buy the kit I have no idea where to get it from and does everything come in this kit? or will I still need to buy other things because I wouldn't even know if everything...

    Choosing the right bike! Which one?

    I have actually checked out that website already.. are they based in Cambridge then? Unfortunately they are all out of my price range really as I would rather get a mountain bike to have fun on at the weekends! I have checked the train that I would be going on and there is no bike restriction...

    Choosing the right bike! Which one?

    Yeah I was really thinking about the zephyr, it's very stealthy and would be perfect for the train section of my ride! I have a few options I am going to have to think over in my head and work out the best route for me. If it's able to be folded as well I might even be able to take it into the...

    Choosing the right bike! Which one?

    Yes the train section is a problem for me I realise! It's 15 min ride and covers around 20-25 miles so biking would just make it a day ride for me!! I wish I could but just out of my ability :( I do have to check that I will be alright at that time, I have been on the train in the other...
