does anyone have any further news/experiences here? am thinking of upgrading my pro connect lights to B&M LED from and rear.... am i naive in assuming i can switch the current B&M lights (designed to usually work with a 6v B&M dynamo system) to a set of LED lights designed to work with a 6V...

Any news? there was a recent thread, that i cant seem to find, about voltage problems with fitting led lights to a pro connect causing them to blow... does anyone have anymore on this? as the nights are drawing in, i probably need to do something about the lights on my proconnect...

between bolton and chorley in lancashire:)

Continental tyres wanted if anybody would like to off load their old pro connect continental tyres i would be happy to give a fair price for them. i think they are folders so would be very easy to post.:)

cheers flecc. think it's a combination of bolts not tightened when the drive unit was fastened to the frame at the bike assembly factory; and the fact that with my flat bars, bar ends, spd pedals and big cycling legs - i put quite a lot of stress on the crank assembly by delivering quite a...

think i've found one good reason for switching to led.... gave the bike a once over today and found the rear halogen has blown already! only used it a handful of times in the rain :(

Not sure if anyone else has clocked this many miles yet but I had to tighten the three main bolts that attach the motor unit to the frame today. They had become very loose - the whole motor unit was rocking in the frame with about 3mm of play. Riding for prolonged periods like this would...

The Pro Connect I took delivery of a month or so ago has halogen front and rear lights running directly off the main battery - i.e. no dynamo. The front light is a Bausch & Muller 6Volt 2.5Watt halogen bulb and the rear is a Bausch & Muller 6Volt 0.6Watt halogen. Am thinking of upgrading front...

Absolutely Flecc. But when a supplier openly flouts or is ignorant of the law and refuses to be sensible isn't it nice to know that now the power in the (distance) transaction is actually with the consumer. Because the supplier hardly ever informs the buyer of their right in writing then the...

Have noticed a little confusion around the rights of the buyer (and the seller) in what is often termed a "mail order" transaction - including the purchase of bicycles in the UK. Consumers have significant rights for these transactions! :) (Before anyone asks "written confirmation" means ink...

Tour of Manchester - Stage (daily both ways). Distance 19.8 Miles. Best time so far on ProConnect (medium power sixteen teeth rear sprocket) 55 minutes and 55 seconds (one third charge left in battery - heart-rate aerobic). So average speed 21.25 mph. I am a utility cyclist, but not a...

erm, sorry derrick. i should have been more explict. :) to answer your question - i have one that i don't use. :eek:

i find that chain cleaning devices are not really that necessary. they may be of use of bikes where chains get a lot of crud on them like mountain bikes. i clean my chains by spraying away the dirt with wd40, wiping them down with a cloth and re-lubing them. another good (cheaper) way of...

far from underwhelming, it's an amazing and super human feat. unfortunately it never ceases to amaze me that the most demanding, spectacular and popular yearly sporting event in the world passes most people in the UK by. i smiled wryly to myself recently when i overheard someone referring to...

that's great. not far from rivington tea rooms - cyclists very welcome - and a pianist on some sundays... BBC - Lancashire - Radio Lancashire - Sunday Stroll in Rivington it's not so bad up north ;)

go on then :) adlington lancashire, at the foot of winter hill near rivington pike where the 2002 commonwealth road and mountain bike events were held and also home to a famous fell dash...

or, just a cheap, pocket sized charger, very portable, mobile phone style.

or, battery with built in charger. could charge it anywhere using a standard kettle lead or usb lead... or, built in motion sensitive alarm.

other than the obvious, lighter, more efficient, better range... how about offering a spec-your-own approach like brompton. or, while waitng for better and better batteries, how about a range of matching trailers: kiddy, luggage, expedition... the trailer would hold an additional battery...

seat post clamp would also watch out for the seat post clamp on the pro connect - it is not really deep enough to do a proper job - mine kept popping loose and dropping the seat.... replaced with a better one for about £2.50 from Halfords. p.s. all the bar bolts are all loose on arrival to...
