Pow, that's warm! My wife's currently in Perth, WA, where it's noticeably cooler than the UK, or at least the south coast, where I am. What's the climate like Mr Kiwi? Over here it was in the early 30's yesterday, and everything's drying out, but I was melting all day. I drank over a gallon...

They're not far from me and were the first place I went to test ride some bikes. The chap I dealt with was very helpful, patient and let me ride all the bikes I was interested in trying. I'd have had no hesitation in buying from them, but the Whyte I now have turned up just before I took the...

So you get to pay full cost, on a bike that's presumably a demonstrator, in the hope you'll buy it and say 'I'll take this one' rather than go through the refund process? Charge them a £50 Cycle Evaluation Fee back? :D Gaz

Just interested in real figures rather than what I can see online. Yesterday was hot, but today's hotter down here in Eastbourne. The coolest part of my house is 78F/25C and it's a damn site warmer outside, nudging 90 in the shade in garden: Gaz

To validate this, I've just done 24 miles around local country lanes, with a few hills, but mostly slopes. STEPs E6010, started at 100%, ended at 52%, mix of high and normal settings. Twice at a pinch, yes, but it does tail off quicker from 30% down. I'd still choose a geared hub over a...

Perfect cycling weather for me today: Gaz

I don't ride an ebike because of my disability, but because of my disability an ebike does allow me to go further and tackle hills I might otherwise avoid. I'm pretty sure I don't ride anywhere near as far as any of the non assisted bike riders around here, but it does level the playing field a...

Cable ties maybe? Gaz

On the other hand, to quote Phineas T Barnum: 'There's no such thing as bad publicity'. Gaz

Bloody hell!! :(:eek::( Considering the circumstances, I'm glad they were okay, all things considered. Gaz

Contentious, but I believe pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders have greater, rather than equal rights than motorists who need to be licensed, insured and pay a duty for the privilege before they can use the road. I've always had a problem with 'rights'. It sounds so mandatory. When all...

Hello Jim :) It's a good feeling, isn't it! :cool: Gaz

He gave up too easy! :rolleyes: Gaz

Hello Luigi, welcome along :) Gaz

I'm a dry lube convert....... errrr, Matron :oops::rolleyes:

I think that would appeal to me if I used a trailer. The idea that the load doesn't feel like a load you're having to lug would do it for me. Gaz

JB Cold Weld rather than Araldite IMO - will be colour-coded too:cool: Bummer though :( Have you had a rummage on the interwebnet for spare parts? Gaz

Confession accepted. Say three hail Mary's and you can come out of the corner :) It's fair to say you can really bang it through the gears, but after the first few times, you really don't want to as it's not mechanically sympathetic, so you adjust your cycling style to hesitate your pedalling...

Blimey, that surprises me. I really like mine. Horses for courses I suppose and one man's meat is another man's poison. Think I need to try an E8000 though. It's like an itch I can't quite scratch. All part of the disease, and this bloody forum isn't making it any better :rolleyes: (Love...

Or a bit of old inner tube if there's a bit more room.
