A flying saucer in my living room photo bombed my Dahon El Bolso Bag pic! :eek: https://www.cyclemotion.co.uk/worldwheels/elbolso.htm Might fit the 26" as well as the 20", but not at the same time. It's bloody huge. Here's a chick with one, about to be executed for crimes against...

Tyres on my 20" wheeler were originally 1.5". Weirdly, replacing with 1.75" made a massive difference in ride comfort. I've never heard of Greenspeed Scorchers but: There may be wider tyres which will stay on whatever rims your Brompton has. Whatever they're spending, they haven't taken...

Isn't every bike ride a death-defying adventure these days? Traffic is way more ferocious than it was in the 80's. Yank tanks and ram raiders all over the shop. They'll Google it and regift the thing, or it'll end up in a charity shop - you may as well take the £7 hit in reduction of value...

What's the width of the tyres on your eBrompton? I gritted my teeth and stood on the pedals to clatter over this with 1.75" on my 20" wheels at a little over 24kph. Other deeper and wider craters, I had to swerve sharply to the right to avoid. Substantially worse will require 2.15" I reckon...

You must have bought it for a reason. I reckon an action camera cyclist "flight" recorder is well worth using, especially when you've flown over the handlebars and some driver disputes what occurred after he/she/they/them/it bumps you off because he/she/they/them/it failed to see you. Trade it...

When the potholes become an even bigger problem, I might even (aarrgghh!) become a pavement cyclist, but I hate it. Here's what I mean, only it's a bus on the pavement almost flattening someone walking out of a terraced house. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68791453

You're only allowed a short period of time to leave a review on AliExpress or Ebay after your purchase, so if previous customers experienced issues, it's less likely you'll ever know... and that's why I bought my cheap battery on Amazon marketplace, which allows reviews long after purchase, also...

Can you get it out of the box? Batteries could expire if you don't charge them. £90 is a good price, Cex would give you a £83 voucher for your "Mint" Grade A Hero 7 Silver to exchange for a GoPro Hero 7 Black, if you wanted, when they have them in stock at £125 B grade, £135 A grade...

That's brilliant, well done! I went a bit extreme and lost weight by intermittent fasting. It bloody well worked though, well worth the effort. Tell me about it! Dieting to lose weight leads to muscle mass loss, because it's easy for the human body to burn muscle for energy - roughly 70%...

The GoPro 7 Hero Black does the job for now, but here's a little update for anyone else using one to record passing number plates at night: I'm reducing max ISO from 1600 to 800, because with all the graininess at ISO1600, it's value for recording said night number plates when they're travelling...

@soundwave wants to go faster generally, not me. I've been trying to get faster on the flat to keep up with slow moving traffic, after I've had a nice rest letting the motor do nearly all of the work up to 25kph. After a lot of slow squats to increase leg muscle size and strength, and fast...

You could run a BBSHD headless - it defaults to level 0 when you switch it on, but level 0 can be firmware set to max assist. I was thinking of doing that with my BBS01B, because there'd be less to be stolen if I ever leave my bike locked up somewhere, which I don't, because it folds and get...

This is about as fast as I can pedal using bodily leg power after the 25kph cutoff, which is less than 22mph, and I can't keep that up for longer than a few seconds. I keep the speedo mostly in view recorded by the GoPro in case of accidents, but I'd prefer a custom display which ODOs properly...

But it only works up to 100mph! I guess all the accusations of riding like a granny at 8mph got on your nerves. Pubs are very distracting. Was the last thing going through his head the visor? That's a bad profession for multiple sclerosis twitchers. I watch TT on Naked News. They keep me...

I've been a big fan of Poundland's cheapo AA Nimhs for many years, the AAAs too... and when they didn't charge properly, I threw them away... loads... but I recently discovered what you all probably already know: cheap stainless steel and other alloys aren't really oxidisation free, require...

That Schwalbe honour their guarantee is reassuring. The rubber compound on Marathon Plus is very hard wearing, the treads on mine still look ok after 4,000km. I don't trust them in wet conditions going over metal grates, but in my experience they hold onto tarmac well in the rain - I wouldn't...

Cheers! Good call! Will do when the time comes - with current cost pressures, I don't believe the pothole situation will improve anytime soon... unless they resume printing money, which won't worsen the situation for a short time. Again. They're available in 20"! :)...

Too low slung - looks like potholes will kill it and ignite the under seat batteries to burn your bottom to ashes. "With both full, range is said to be up to 92 miles, but with 90%-charged batteries, my test car reckoned 60 miles in its medium power mode, labelled City, 75 miles in Eco and 50...

If the bolt securing the rear swinging fork could be safely made quick release, I could get a BBS01B on, for a seriously powerful hill climbing, breaking and folding eBrompton. Schwalbe 20 x 2.15" Big Apples look good for bumping over potholes, but only Raceguard, not as puncture-proof as...
