    Rasberry Pi

    So who will be the first to integrate one into an ebike? A powerful, cheap, mini-computer such as this could surely replace expensive propriety control ECU's and the laptops needed to flash their ROM's. I'm sure some bright Pedelec spark is on the case already? :cool:

    SRAM quick link

My LBS supplied an SRAM quick link (10 speed), which was very simple to fit onto my 10 speed Shimano chain...

    DIY Solar panels for home energy

    There's lots of hype about at the moment related to installing solar panels for home energy, too much hype for me to trust getting a government scheme installer to fit me some panels only for it to take 20 years to recoup the costs and then the technology will be out of date within 5 years etc...
