Try Tinder :D

Wherever you buy your kit from, aim to buy a battery pack containing decent cells. The BBS02 is power hungry and can shorten the life of cells not up to the job. I swapped an 11.6Ah battery pack containing Samsung 29E cells, to a 12Ah pack containing Samsung 30Q cells. I've found the 30Q pack...

I can get around 15 miles with a 48v 12Ah battery. Mine is programmed for more performance, so with factory standard settings, 12 miles will be easily achievable.

www.eclipsebikes.com Have bought a BBS02 and battery from them, plus another battery on a separate occasion. Both purchases were quickly delivered and reasonably priced.

Aha, only five years too late, but good find nonetheless :p

Nice bike and great price. The Gtech is pretty restrictive for a lot of commuters, which you have addressed in the Alamo. Does it come with the mudguards for that price?

Just to add to this thread. To qualify for free delivery, the total cost of purchase needs to be £9. Therefore, I decided to add a Muc-Off claw brush: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/muc-off-claw-brush-1/?utm_source=order-placed-sg01-gb&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=orders&utm_content=product Plus, a...

Excellent stuff, been using it for years: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/finish-line-dry-teflon-lubricant-120ml-bottle/ I use the Finish Line applicator, but can be used straight from the squeezy bottle:

The 30Q's will be a better long term investment, as they will last longer than the 29E's. As in less degradation over time, not capacity!

Fight or flight response mate. Maybe you should stop wearing the stripy orange and black lycra cycling attire :p

I wouldn't want to be changing an inner tube out on a ride. Why not fit a Slime filled tube, as well as the Marathon Plus on the rear wheel. Just for peace of mind. http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-parts/inner-tubes/slime-schrader-bike-inner-tube-20-26 I have two Marathon Plus MTB tyres on...

I would. No point in only having maximum puncture protection on one wheel. Sod's law you will get a puncture on the non protected tyre. This might be controversial, but I always try to fit the same tyres on all wheels, whether on my bike or the car. Difference in tyre characteristics could...

+1 for Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB tyres. As d8veh mentions, they are not for hardcore off-road, but they'll be fine on a Crossfire. The Crossfire is more an on road, light off-road bike. If you are riding all on road, then the regular Marathon Plus' will suffice.

I say go for it, the police will never catch you on one of those :D

Not something I'd find useful, but might be for someone on the forum: https://eggbikes.com/eggrider-v1b

Dave, I think they make money on hoping that the customer will default on the contract. Then they can pile on extortionate interest charges. There's bound to be something in the small print somewhere, which hardly anybody reads anyway :eek:

A picture paints a thousand words ;)

As d8veh suggests, try for bank loan and negotiate a discount. Banks are usually more forgiving if you miss a payment, or have financial difficulties during the loan term. Read the V12 contract terms small print thoroughly!
