Reminds me of tolerances... An engineer works to the nearest mm or thou A Carpenter cuts to the nearest inch A painter paints to the nearest house;)

Thanks for the vigilance, action and replies.

Hi Flecc What are all these dodgy link warnings you have posted on a number of threads?

You may have problem. Put some of lsting into google translate which came up with.... Shipping only within Germany The offered battery is a so-called . Lithium - Ion battery . For this type of battery special transport provisions of the ADR restrictions (dangerous goods by road) apply . As...

Well done Simon. If your rebuild also sells well that'll be quite a result given the state it was in when you bought it with motor and controller removed from frame. Think the original seller didn't realise what he had and what was needed to refurb it.

Flecc. At the risk of being stereotyped i 'liked' your earlier post about 'likes' by regulars. Totally agree, having used and discarded Winkkus. I still think the only essential on the bar end is a mirror.

I've also found that the older I get the less I can turn my neck/body round:) and that the floor seems to get further away when I have to bend down. Either I'm getting taller or my arms are getting shorter;)

Hi Glovemakingman More interested in what your bike is and what's your experience of it. Look like you use it on tracks and in some good scenery

And the best thing to stick in the bar end is a mirror, that's the message I got from attempting to use Winkku in 2009. Haven't been without a conventional bar end mirror since, and it feels odd when cycling without one. Even these can break off occasionally, once by the end of a builder's...

Thought I'd repost my review from 2009. They do look like resurrected Winkku. Flecc, I think the indicators did show rearward s as well, but in daylight not very clearly. Repost.... My personal thoughts and musings. I've not had a good experience with these indicators, but what they did do was...

If I remember rightly each Winkku had 4 AA batteries in them which made them heavy and the weak point where they broke off was at the bar end as this lot bumped along the roads. The best indicator that a car driver sees and expects is a clear outstretched arm pointing ones intention.

Hope these are better than very similar ones produced a few years ago which looked very similar and were called Winkku. They were heavy on the ends of the handlebar, and the jogging about meant the contacts inside with batteries etc. was poor and they didn't work well. They were just gimmicky. I...

Have you noticed that the seller has changed? The original eBay posts were by a Richard.francis with 0 feedback based in London.. This one is being offered by jdivadavid with a 100% feedback rating on 2101 ratings based in Bridgend. Still using same pics and some of the description. Agree it...

FOURTH FATAL CYCLIST ACCIDENT IN LONDON IN SEVEN WEEKS A cyclist killed in a collision with a tipper lorry in central London was a French-born mother-of-two, Claire Hitier-Abadie, 36. She died in an accident with a lorry at a busy junction in Victoria during yesterday morning's rush-hour. It...

Also frame size and whether diamond (crossbar) or wave (step thru').

Thanks as well flecc, my post crossed yours. They were still supplying the original chainrings in 2010 with the thicker shoulders. To be honest, the 1/8" chain looks better quality and robustness compared with the 3/32 KMC.

Thanks Tillson, you've confirmed what I believe, that at least the earlier ProConnects used a 1/8 inch chain. Mine are the same. I remember having the same trouble back in 2010 when I replaced chains earlier on both our Alfine hub bikes. The old and new chainring I have in no way matches the KMC...

Having trouble sourcing new chain for 2008 ProConnect. Replaced chain in 2010, when I also bought a new 41T chainring as well but never used. 50cycles sent me recently a 132 link KMC chain, but it must be 3/32 not 1/8 as it rides up in the chainring, both the old and new one, and teeth do not...

Even more impressive is that you ended up rebuilding the original. At first i think you were intending to just get the motor and replace the one on your existing bike. If you want a challenge how about this one!!!!!! Mind you he's optimistic about what he thinks the heap is worth...

Well done Simon. Perseverance got you there, however did we get by in the days before Internet searches. Glad this all came together. I take it you like the 350w drive.
