    Thule Freeride 530 Rooftop Carrier

    Not suitable for E-Bikes, but I know many on here have unassisted bikes too.. Locks to roof and locks bike in place Easy to fit and use if you can lift your bike and reach your car roof! I`m so short I dropped the bike the second time I used it and fell over backwards - needless to say...

    Non Typical Data for a fast commute (18.5 miles)

    First, thanks to Vikki and Mussels for posting up their more typical data in a previous thread. It was seeing the results Mussels had uploaded onto "SportyPal" which prompted me to instal that surprisingly good little free app for my phone and gather some more data myself. See : Fast run to...

    First Aid Kits

    First - apologies if this has been extensively debated before. I have tried using search, but searching on "first+aid" returns nothing, while "first aid" returns thousands of posts with either the word first in them, or the word aid, so I probably need a tutorial on using the search function a...

    NEW - Tapered Straight Inner Tubes

    I am determined to bring at least one original idea to this forum which hasn't already been debated and discarded! So here it is - I hope - tapered straight inner tubes. I may even ring Drogons Den and the patent office! The concept would be to make inner tubes which do not form a...

    Cheap Charger - what could possibly go wrong?

    Like it says in the title Saw this on evilbay. I seem to recall a post stating that modern batteries with a decent BMS would adjust themselves to the charger used (or did I imagine that?). So is it worth a try, or would I be stupid risking my expensive batteries with a cheap charger...

    E Bike Profit Margins and discounting etiquette

    To date, my most expensive kit purchases have been to support my Kayaking kit addiction, new boats, drysuits, paddles, helmets, buoyancy aids etc etc – very few purchases have been below £100 and I have a good relationship with my two local shops and a number of on line retailers. With these...

    Making a decision based on data....

    So, I think I`d like to cycle to work – I`m reasonably fit (can run 10k comfortably in under an hour) and reasonably happy being out in all weathers (I also whitewater kayak all through the winter!) But, the office is 20 miles away, and the routes which avoid main roads and dual carriageways...
