The reasons I like the extrernal approach, is for when stopping for a coffee or a meal, you don't have to consider what to do with the bikes. Also, a thief could jemmy a door (with a butter knife!) and steal them, when you are not around. On the A Frame, they were securely bolted and with bike...

I only know about the 4 caravans I have owned as well as several trailers. It was only possible to make contact with the sides of a small trailer, if one was not careful and either on my own, or the wrong person was guiding. But of all the caravans I owned, never did I manage to get into such a...

Maybe you don't use a caravan often, but you ALWAYS need to balance out the caravan, using a weight gauge if you have little experience, even with a tandem axle as I always have, (as they can transport far more "stuff" safely), and if you get a puncture, the whole thing won't possibly land on...

On my caravan I had a bike "holder/carrier" that went on the A Frame at the front of my caravan! With good bike locks it was pretty safe, caused little to no extra drag, and I was never falling over it, plus the bike stayed full size. I will try and find a foto.... There are also some carriers...

Why not try one out? I myself like larger wheels and non folding designs, as I feel that small wheels equals less stability....and folding not needed, as I just pop the front wheel off.... Any parts that are maybe not to your liking, you can probably easily replace and still stay well under the...

A truly, brutally honest post. I agree fully. My prestty standard Chinese, rear hub, front and rear suspension, disk brakes, is still doing good service after almost 5 years, with two batteries and cost, including transport and import duties, under 1,000 UK Pounds. Still original (untouched)...

My way was some years ago I bought a small trailer for carrying the luggage, as the dog sits there in the car, and takes up the whole rear of our Estate Car. For bikes I added Roofbars to the trailer, and I can fit two bikes on it, which are then msotly in the wind shadow of the car, and as we...

There are so many opinions on Li-ion batteries, that hardly two Pedelecers can agree on anything. I have had good results (never lost a battery in 12 years of e-biking) with the following:- 1) assuming a normal charger, I add a cheap 24 hour timer, to shut the power off to the charger, when I...

Well done. I myself have only bought 1 chain in the last 25 years or so, (some 7 or 8 years ago), it was fine and still in use when I gave the bike away. I will have to be more careful when I buy the next time.... I usually buy products on ebay that are "in" Germany, with a rapid delivery, only...

WOW! Thanks for the update. I was one of the many who never even dreamed that such a problem could even happen. If you bought the chain on ebay, you may have a case for ebay to refund your money..... Just a thought! Regards Andy

I did not think that comment quite thru now did I! :) :mad:;) Good for a laugh anyway, thanks for noticing

:):):):):)

Great Post. I have similar feelings, but too lazy to do the research....But I bet you are close to the truth... regards Andz

You are of course fully correct, but the reason I posted this is if someone loses a key for say their battery, and need to undo it to allow the replacement of the lock/cylinder, or even just to get a new key made or ordered. On the subject of security, I use two long quality chain locks to block...

SH*T Problem, that I would hazard a guess at that most people who ride bikes of any sort, have experienced! But that still does not help! About 10 years ago, I went through a spate of punctures, with thorns, in our local forest. I was getting through puncture repair kits like crazy (to me...

You got your posts mixed up, and were also unfriendly. But that is typical of a few of our members - sadly. You should go and read them back in the sequence they were posted...Not what you think apparently. DDDUUUUUUHHHHHHHH

Really, Mensa let you in? I am surprised......Just the dusting maybe? You are demonstrating a complete lack of simple even basic knowledge, in spite of it being correctly explained, (for anyone with even just a very basic understanding) of the changes in Germany in the 41 years I have lived...

Especially if you have managed to lose the key for your bike or battery.... Half the battle is simply knowing what goes on inside a lock or cylinder, this video should help on that score, and may even allow you to open a lock where the key has been lost or mislaid. Regards Andy

Have you nothing better to do than air your incorrectly and wrongly imagined grievances that you consider that I may have...... I have none of them, except that I do follow the laws, wherever I am, as being from a Scottish family, I do not want to waste my money on fines...... In the days of...

Not exactly for Pedelec Batteries, but very close! Hopefully this will put a lot of people off trying, but probably not all! Enjoy Regards Andy
