    Need new battery

    I have a rear wheel hub and it is fine. After I had a heart attack and to assist me I fitted a front wheel hub as well (only for riding off road tracks obviously) it makes all the difference being as I also have worn out knees. I only use the front hub when I struggle on uphill sections but that...

    sj4000 video cam

    I just treated myself to an sj4000 video cam. I`ve been into photography for most of my adult life so am not easily pleased with IQ from most cams. I must say that I am impressed with the video performance on the bike and in the car. OK, it`s not anything like my Canon 5dmk3 as far as video goes...

    D cells with 10,000 milliamp

    Not exactly bikes but about batteries which is pretty topical. I have several dab radios, unlike the very latest dab radios the early ones really needed either to be mains operated or the expensive purpose made rechargeable assemblies. I like to listen to the radio when doing a bit of gardening...

    Can anyone identify this plug

    Can anyone point me to one of these please, it is in one of my slide in batteries, I could strip down the battery to get it but there is still a reasonable amount of life left in the battery. I need it to be able to make up a patch lead from kettle plug to this two pin socket. Or maybe someone...

    New battery fitted on Aurora

    Fitted a new 17 Amp battery on my Aurora today (Li-ion Poly) that would normally be standard on the Oxygen bikes.
