    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The EU is a giant protection racket along the lines of that other Italian organisation. It tries to keep payments coming in and control of people by a mixture of coercion threats and blackmail. The sooner we leave the better.

    Seatpost

    Yes I agree. I don't tend to leave my bike unattended for very long but when I do I have started putting a cable lock (kryptonite) through the seat and top of the battery. Should stop the opportunist, hopefully

    Seatpost

    It's a clamp so no real problem. Don't need to take battery out for charging so just occasionally for cleaning

    Seatpost

    Only downside is that on Freego the seat hinges back to remove battery but can't do that with new post. Not a problem. A small price to pay

    Seatpost

    Just received and installed Suntour NCX12 seat post to my Freego Eagle. Been a short test ride and wow what a difference. Like riding on a sofa. Seems to absorb all the bumps.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We should ask to see the EU accounts before we pay anything. How do they know what we might owe when they can't even get them signed off. Maybe they should get some back from the scams they have wasted billions on

    Panda conversion kits

    Hi Handling I wish you luck with your project. I am thinking I would like to do similar. Sure you will get good advice on here. However from a legality point of view it is wrong to assume that if you are off road etc it is legal. I think that only applies to private land where the public do not...

    I use rainwater collected in a butt by the greenhouse. Biggest problem for me is keeping it watered correctly.

    Pro-Rider bikes.

    An older guy near me has this bike and I regularly see him around. He has full panniers and I have seen him towing a trailer. Speaking to him one day said he uses it daily and is best thing he has bought.

    Growbags or pots

    It's coming to that time of year for tomatoes in the greenhouse. I never seem to do very well with the bags. Can't seem to keep them watered right. So was thinking about going for pots. Anybody have a view on this

    Pedals

    Eddie that's where the problem arises. Last week bought a pair of Giro flat MTB shoes which have Vibram soles,and they are the ones that are slipping. . May have to revert to the old pedals when wet. Possibly have a look at some of the old fashioned rubber block types

    Pedals

    I am looking to replace original pedals (cage type). Going through styles on local trails very easy to scrape my ankles. I bought a pair of flat ones but on first usage found them slippery when wet. Are there any flat types that would suit without breaking the bank gray

    Ebike Newbie

    Halfords is probably not the best place for advice about ebikes. Can be a bit hit and miss. Try to find an ebike stockist. You certainly don't need to buy a new bike.
