I looked for renting anything. In that particular town, the one I chose was the cheapest found on the search web site. Around here, you can't rent anything for under £800 per month, unless you share with 5 others in a 6 bed HMO. I don't live in Telford, I live in a London commuter belt with a...

Still 130 miles away in Seaton (Devon) but a lot closer than Sheffield. This particular one, is "as new" having only had two brief outings. There are a couple of phone numbers listed, so it might be possible to arrange a meeting of some sort if you drive? Even if you don't buy, you'd get the...

Moving to an interest only mortgage for a couple of years, makes more sense than selling up. They must have some equity in their properties, or a spare bedroom to rent out? Hanging on to what they have, is a much better move unless they have lost their jobs. Extending a 25 year mortgage to 35...

My experience of Freecycle suggests advertisers don't often pull posts even when they should. I wouldn't worry about "the competition". Advertise. It's free and you have nothing to lose. State your general age, (go for the sympathy vote), and mention your need for some form of daily...

It's a sad fact of life, demand for housing in the UK, and especially in built up areas where there's a reasonable amount of employment opportunities, is unlikely to see a fall in house prices or the cost of renting. The buying/selling process may slow down, and some desperate people who HAVE to...

This is for your salad right, :D not for a chain? I used to use Finish Line Cross Country Wet chain lube, but this stuff is much cheaper. Anti-fling formula, that means it's so viscous you can almost put it on with a knife. If it's good enough for a chain saw chomping through wet wood, it's...

That threaded 1" suspension fork I left the link for, will solve a number of problems, and it's a good price. The Triban I bought is a large. I'm in Hertfordshire and had to drive to North London to collect it. I looked off and on nearly 20 years to acquire it, although I'd only been looking...

I had this very problem with some 20" forks (as detailed elsewhere). It wasn't an insurmountable problem. Frankly, you must love your bike to be using something so old. That's fair enough, and good luck to you. I have acquired newer, and I'm tempted to say "better" bikes for surprisingly...

Eureka ?? 1" threaded suspension fork with disc mount Steerer is 180mm long so suitable?

E-bike problems and the police, is going to be like peeling an onion. The more layers you go through, the more difficult the situation, and the more difficult your withdrawal. First layer, don't be conspicuous...... Don't get noticed.... Don't overtake a police vehicle that is doing 30mph on a...

Where are you looking? I've acquired working bikes for free on Freecycle, and our council recycling centres have whole bikes looking for new homes at realistic prices. I haven't ridden a bike with v-brakes for 20+ years and as long as your hub has the means of attaching a disc, I would...

And todays job, make mounting for the controller..... This will sit in a recess on the wooden platform (which I will have to cut out with a chisel as I don't -yet- own a router I could do it with). I chose a long pre-made plate from B&Q so that if the tube needs to be raised at all, I've got...

Bringing the thread back on track ..... The Hillman Imp body, if available today, would make a great e-vehicle. Batteries split between front and rear compartments.... Tiny light-weight vehicle.....

There are already 'general laws' (not e-bike/pedelec specific) that restrict where cyclists can ride. Since 1835, cyclists (riders of penny-farthings back then) were prohibited from riding on footways. Getting knocked down by a 5ft cartwheel, understandably, seems to have been seen as an...

I know nothing of Mr Hillman, but Colin Chapman..... A god in his field. 40 years ago I would have given a kidney to own a Lotus Europa in JPS livery ..... Immortalised in the 1974 film 11 Harrowhouse, starring amongst other well known thespians the great British actor; James Mason.

You have a long detailed PM to read .... ;)

The distribution centre for both delivery addresses, is the same town. I live 20-25 minutes away from the distribution centre. The original delivery address (known to DPD which delivers there a couple of times a month) is only a further 13 miles away, but adds 25-30 minutes to an outward...

I can, but do I need to? I was thinking this is more of a generic/general thing, than an equipment specific issue? I did do a little reading about cadence vs torque sensors before I asked about the symptoms of each. Does the Min/Max refer to the potential amps available to the motor? I only...

Interim update....... I still plan to do a complete thread on the installation of the XF07 hub motor and battery sourced from Woosh Bikes onto the Kettwiesel Evo, but the development of Plan A, issue 3 is still incomplete, meaning the project is still "work-in-progress" although there might be...

"Amen" to all that. :cool:
