Ive always maintained ebikes saved my life. I now ride road and mountain but would never have been bitten by the bug if id not got my ezee torq on cycle to work. after moving over to a kalkhoff agattu i finally took the plunge a purchased a felt hybrid. that lasted only a few months before a...

Well the lord giveth and the lord taketh away but sometimes he giveth back again :) my ebay seller wanted me to return the incorrect cells at my own cost and then once he had received them back he would dispatch the lifepo4 cells. probably another 6 weeks of waiting so i had a rant at him and...

i would happily endorse the 300w belkin one linked below. been using it on my solar setup in the office for 6 months. has a battery charge indicator too and is a paultry £13 edit: should have added it comes with good sized croc plugs to run directly of the battery or a ciggy plug too Belkin...

I do have several big car and leisure batteries for collecting the solar panel output but prefer to make up custom battery packs for local light solutions so i dont have wires all over the place.

Just an update to this. received batteries yesterday after a very long wait. unfortunately, they sent the wrong ones grrr. i got 20 bog standard lipos rather than lifepo4. the item description clearly states lifepo4 but the pictures show 3.7v lipo. will be interesting to see their reply after...

I must confess im not using them for bike battery packs. Ive been on a bit of a project to LED the whole house. i have a solar panel set up which runs an inverter to power a charger and all our lighting is now battery powered. Ive been making up battery packs to between 10 & 12 volts...

couldnt resist these and thought i would share. very very good price imo new A123 18650 LiFePO4 Battery 3.3v 1000-1100mAH 20 Pcs | eBay UK

When i had my ebike i used the newyork kryptonite D lock with a cable. lock went though frame and cable went though wheels and the top of the battery. very secure. dont be put off by people who tell you it can be opened with a bic pen. that problem was a long time ago. i left my bike...

my hack about bike is a felt qx75. stunning bike for the money. buy second hand and you will be getting a steal. if you want to go uber fast then i can highly recommend a scott cr1 pro with full durace :D. bit pricey but i love mine:)

put it on ebay. ill bet you get more than £20. bikes are very in demand - even old hacks

pro time trial riders tend to go as low as 19mm width but on some of the classics like paris - roubaix you will see tyre widths of 25mm this is generally to make the ride more comfortable. tyre deflection is also influenced by the psi rating of the tyre too so if you can get a very high...

I wondered that myself. seen one for £40 which will put out 5amps max. im in no rush to charge it but dont want to upset the battery if it likes a higher charge rate

Hi all im creating an led strip light using LEDs in parallel. this battery seems to be ideal given the 16ah rating at 3.2w which is bang on the forward drop voltage of my LEDs anyone know what i would need to charge it that is available of the shelf. im guesing id need a high output charger...

get some coolstop or swissstop pads. They are the best pad available. generally speaking all brakes are fine these days its just the contact points that need upgrading.

not quite with income tax revenue at £397bn and the welfare budget at £116bn. still a lot of cash to spend on some although i would imagine there are a lot of folks at the moment with a genuine need of the help given the stte of the economy. one thing is for sure. they need to spend more on...

just come across this on bikeradar

i have a power jacket for my iphone which was £17 from play.com. doubles the battery life and is plenty for all but the longest rides. i always have my phone in my pocket and have a garmin 705 mounted on the stem. the garmins are completely waterproof but not a good investment for the casual...

for android i would look at 'sportstracker' or 'my tracks' for iphone 'map my ride' and 'cyclemeter'. i use mapmyride for iphone and cant fault it. keeps the gps signal even with the phone in my back jersey pocket.

My wife has no problem with the xs kalkhoff and she is 5ft 0 in
